Love the detail of O/S maps conveniently in my pocket! Two feature requests:1. Enable app to work with CarPlay2. Consider adding historical O/S map layers (6 inch and 25 inch 1840s onwards)

Plagued with problems, poor support
Dardy Snapper
This app has great potential but it just doesn’t work. I can’t view routes I have created nor can I view routes uploaded from gpx files. Support is so slow as to be worthless. I am a Premium member which means I subscribe to all their features. That gets you an app that doesn’t work and support that takes days to answer. Why bother. Worse than the cost of the Premium membership is the amount of time wasted trying to get simple things to work. It should be clear by now that I am not a happy user and recommend people to steer clear. I also use AllTrails. It works. I’ve never used AllTrails support, I’ve never needed to.
Developer Response
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the app and that our support team have taken a little while to respond. It looks like there's a rare issue happening that causes some routes not to appear in the routes list, while some are still present, does this sound like what you're experiencing or does it just happen to routes uploaded from a GPX? If you can update your review to let us know some more details that would be great. Whilst our support team are the best contact as they're able to escalate the issue for testing, I'm keen to investigate in the meantime. Again, we apologise and we're very keen to get this resolved this for you.
Downloadable maps don’t work. No help from OS to resolve.
bringbackthepreviousFifa.
Firstly the codes on the paper UK explorer maps didn’t work. After chasing it up with OS, the downloads were added to my app account. Then the downloads triggered a message “the map failed to load because the style can’t be loaded.” They advised be to uninstall, reinstall, redownload. Same issue again. When I contacted OS they said they would get technical services to look into it. A week later I got an email saying they couldn’t recreate the issue and couldn’t fix it, in spite of screenshots being provided showing it is a problem. Waste of time and clearly false advertising when they say includes mobile download on the front of their maps. Really poor service.
Developer Response
Thanks for your feedback and sorry that you've had issues with your downloaded maps. Our customer support team would like to re-investigate this for you so please drop them a message with an update on your issue and any other info you think might help. We'll then work with you to resolve the problem. Thanks a lot for your patience.
Don’t rely on this for Australia - could be a death sentence
awilkinkleintime
For the new Australian service - I would suggest steering clear of this app at least until they get their act together. It’s patchy at best and poorly constructed without true bushwalking maps being included. There’s plenty of bushwalking guides and maps available, including digitally, and I suggest looking at those instead. Getting lost in the Australian bush can be a death sentence, and by putting out a beta product with poorly constructed maps loaded on a battery-powered device, is just asking for trouble. Let’s hope the worst doesn’t occur. Coming from an experienced wilderness warrior - be prepared and stay aware.
Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your feedback - we completely agree that you shouldn't rely on an app alone and it's crucial to have a paper backup (and know how to use it). For mapping coverage we're adding to this on a state-by-state basis, so if you have any specific feedback for certain areas then we'd love to hear from you.
