Ratings and Reviews
New Update great!
The new update is great! Thanks for bringing back the table mountain maps! However I still find the explore mode a bit complex, seems like theres a lot happening. Overall, I’m very impressed with the app, it’s very helpful!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the kind review and glad you enjoy the Cape Town trail maps returning. Here’s to more exploring!
Great hiking app!
Great app. I love the information it provides on each trail and the offline maps feature. Great place to look up and explore different hiking trails in your area. It’s a bit hard to find in the Apple store if you only search the name forge
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your positive review and glad to hear you are finding it easy to use and with sufficient info. The more people that review the app the higher it will go in search results. Also the link is always on our web homepage.
Needs updating
Currently no landscape view. This is a very basic need that should already be working. Needs more work.
Developer Response ,
Hi there. Thanks for taking time to rate and review the app. By landscape view do you mean the map doesn’t adjust when the phone orientation is turned to landscape position?
