Great app for searching for hiking routes and following them. It provides altitude profiles and estimated walk times which update as you progress. Care is required as some trails we followed were almost non-existent. Usefully, it shows up trail closures. Currently, however, it crashes a lot - probably 15 times on a walk today. It does restart quickly so crashes were not hugely disruptive.

This is the best hiking app for Switzerland. There are more hiking trails than in alltrails and komoot, route planning is extremely easy: it snaps to path, you can drag the route around, it displays all the usual statistics. Downloaded maps are available offline, you can import the hike into your usual hiking app if you want to keep your hikes history in one place. And it's free.

fantastic app. creating amd exporting routes has become more reliable and easy for me. it does unfortunately require internet to reliably display the national map while on the go, despite the ability to download offline maps. i discovered that the base map does work well offline, so thats great. the ability to show winter maps and layers of diverse information is incredible. thanks to the developers. zero ads and no paywall.
