I love this app and have been using it for many years. I deducted one star because of the details page lists altitude in meters and speed (average & max) in km/h. Also, the distance meter on the map list distances in meters. I've tried to switch it to mi/hr and feet to no avail in the settings. All of the other readings are correct in mi/hr and feet. If this was corrected, I would definitely rate this five stars!

Okay, so this app IS better than most other similar apps. Out of everything, it's the most lightweight, which imho, is the most important thing for an app like it. That said...I really wish it was possible to bulk export kml files. I have like fifty that I want to get out, and given that it takes five taps for each...yeah, that's going to be annoying.

First impressions: seems very similar to Google's former My Tracks. Solid interface, simple to use. One feature I'd like is something that could be used on very long hikes. I tend to go backpacking for a week at a time. I would like, for instance, to set a sampling interval on GPS for every 5 minutes, letting GPS be off between samples to save battery.

This has become my favorite tracking app, even surpassing my previous favorite, which recently returned to the store. In general, it works extremely well and is simple to use. I enjoy the feature of having the photos taken along the route to show in the app. It has an odd, but amusing side-effect - I often see images of pokemon my friends have caught and shared while I'm on a stroll. The only feature from other apps I miss right now is having the current track time/length on the lockscreen notification.

Intrusive video ads, while in tracks, selecting a track shows it on the map, when you back out or press the arrow in the top left corner it stops what you're doing to show a video ad. Also, can't choose individual track without being forced to watch a video, or else the track unchecks itself and won't display on map, this pretty much makes the recording feature useless, poor design. Using Ride Command and Geo Tracker instead. 1 star until fixed.

Like many, I thought this was the old Google app, not realizing it's long gone. But I like this one a lot and I appreciate that the developer seems to be actively engaged. It feels familiar and easy to just click and go or preplan a route and follow it. I didn't mind the small ad banners but occasionally a blasting video would pop up without my knowingly have touched the play video button, so I removed ads and all is good. I will probably subscribe, too, to try the additional features.
