Avenza Maps: Offline Mapping App Reviews

Clunky, horrible UI, but good maps

If you want online maps of the NYNJ Trail Conference, which happen to be the maps I like most, you are stuck with this clunker of an app. Nothing about it is intuitive, there isnt a possibility to correct a track if the GPS went haywire, and I would ditch it for Maps 3D immediately if there was any other way to see the NYNJTC maps with a dot for my location. But there isnt, so for now I consult this when my other apps dont show me where that abandoned mine used to be, or how many viewpoints I have ahead of me.

Really dislike the separate store

Itd be much smoother if the app just worked like most other apps and you bought stuff from the App Store. Instead, theres this multi-step login process (on each device you own) for each purchase you make. Half a dozen dialogs pop up. Not a great experience. If you dont use their store, then if you delete the app by mistake or get a new phone or want to use it on your iPad, you have to buy every map all over again for each device. Who thought this was a great idea?
