ExplorOz Traveller

I have always believed with apps, that if I can not use the app intuitively within 5 minutes..then I trash it. This is not one of those type of navigation, explore GPS apps you need a manual and a heap of patience to use. It is within a few minutes you can understand the processes of this app and how to use it. It needs some polishing.. it can be expensive to get some in app purchases to gain more detail..but the upgrades are fluid and the body of the app does not lose its simplicity. Quite a good navigation app.

This app is quite useable overall, but needs some major improvements. Being constantly told to reset location services to allow 'always' is very very annoying. The app developer has said there is nothing they can do about this problem, but that is nonsense. It doesn't just happen when you open the app. It can happen just about anytime you touch the screen when using the app. Hema and Mud Map apps don't have this issue with location services. If you don't have any background tracking features turned on, why should the app 'always' have access to your location data? A total privacy invasion. If you have allowed location services 'while using app', then why is that never enough? No other map app I have demands this constant access to my location, even when not using the app. Please fix this. The maps included when you purchase the premium pack are quite good and detailed, but the rendering of each level of map scale is only good at one zoom level. Zoom above or below the optimum zoom level for that map scale and rendering of the map is poor and fuzzy. I'm using iPad Air2. With some refinement and location service bug fixes, I would rate the app much higher.

I’ve used this app for a few big trips now and highly rate it for its detail, information and ease of use. I don’t normally take the time to review apps which in hindsight is wrong as it’s the first thing I look at before most of my purchases. I felt compelled to write this because we all usually take the time to report the negatives. I recently updated to the latest maps and because of my incompetence had a problem. It was refreshing to be able to get onto help to sort it out straight away. So I can add great backup service to the list of positives for this app. Thank you.

I have become a skeptic of certain apps and software because of the brilliant marketing that drew me in but didn’t deliver the goods. This app is not one of those, the ease of use right on my mobile screen. It’s full on value at under $100 for online and offline maps, trails and so much more. Find the location of your next adventure on the map, tap on the icons in the area and it opens up a wealth of information, with comments from real peoples adventures, pictures tips and hints.. ExplorOz traveller also has built street navigation none of the other so called greats for 4wd or touring do not in an app. This is the one you need if you have that adventurous seed in you and your looking for a way to feel like you know where you going.

Building plans is difficult, viewing online maps is slow to the point of being unusable, and you pay an extra $50 for maps, then another $30 to be able to create tracks. Not to mention having to create a new account on yet another website... Sell it up front with all the features, save me from having to make another account, and make it easy to use please. Then I’d be happy at $140. Or even better, put it on subscription for the offline maps, you’ll make more that way.
