Reviews for Footpath Route Planner

This is exactly what I had hoped for in an app. I paddle in the middle of nowhere so to speak and I am not only new to this area but 68yrs old. I do carry a phone with a tracker turned on but I've been afraid to venture upstream to who know where. Knowing how much farther a bridge may be or some kind of progress as I venture forward is invaluable. this app is perfect and so easy to use! I love it!

Very good app - highly recommended. Stable, easy to use to plot a route, save it and export to preferred format (gpx etc). Paid for the yearly membership as I make routes for my local cycling club, yes there are other map making tools out there, but this works perfectly on a phone and is a lot more straight forward and intuitive to use. Worth the purchase

Fabulous walking app for planning and checking your route. I have paid version for OS maps, which are extremely useful. It does have an annoying habit of guessing your route unless you zoom in when plotting a route. That's why I haven't given 5 stars.

🔶️ATTENTION USERS: Be sure the app location setting/permission & your phone GPS to "precise",or you will only record Time but nothing else.🔶️ This is my favorite Route Planner. Easy to use, no hype. FYI If your route is "snapping" to the wrong trail simply turn off the "snap to" feature and manually trace that section, then turn Snap on again. FYi2 You do not need a data signal to record your track, only need Precise Location GPS. Save battery by using airplane mode.

The app is lightyears ahead of everything else when it comes to route planning etc. I purchased it, but kind of regret that I did now. I planned a route out, tested it, but there's only a dark theme for the navigation...which makes the app unusable during the day for me. I checked the documentation and it says it is to save battery. Whilst that is great, I have battery, I don't have the ability to read a black map in the bright sunshine. Add the light map (as others are asking for) please

I've been using this app on and off for over a year and subscribe to the premium version to add multiple routes it's priced just right for my budget. Footpath Route Planner is a wonderful tool to get me out of my sedentary funk. I like to plan routes the night before. Its no nonsense, just routes, and I appreciate the elevation graph. I would love to see the ability to add free text notes to a route so I can remind myself where there is a place to rest, go to the loo and refill water.

There's no way to edit existing routes, and editing a new one isn't vert easy. The app refuses to let me make a route without a loop (the beginning & end is ALWAYS the same). The interface is very confusing to me and not very intuitive.. very much so after you save a route- because trying to understand how to go back to the original page takes a minute and if you just go back on your phone it closes the app. And you won't even let us make copies without giving you money?Now that's just too much.

Hold on a cotton picking minute..... Great idea to quickly plot a route, glad i signed up. Plotted a route,saved it....... And then, I can't follow it,can't see individual turns and can't use the voice turn system..... Unless I pay monthly installment,why would I do that if I don't know if the app is any good, and I NEVER subscribe,I may pay for something outright if it's good. Come on .... This really liked like a good app too. Definitely if your into subscription services then worth it.

Dropped a star, as trying to make a route map for walking, half way through the line would not continue down some steps ( but they are marked on the map) , instead the line jumped to a path going in the opposite direction, then doubled back to the bottom of the steps, a route 3 times longer ,the strange thing is the line has gone down steps on other maps I've made . Overall a good App.

This is my favourite walking app. Quick to load and not a memory hog. Subscription is reasonably priced. Lots of great map options. love the public rights of way overlay in the UK. Dropping a star because the OS maps - which is one of my main reasons for subscribing - are often very slow to load, and today are not loading at all. I don't even need to use them much, but they are much needed when walking away from marked paths, for route planning and finding landmarks. Fix that and I'll give 5.
