  • Best GPS/Map App

    Great app, my opinion better than OnX and all the others
  • Can’t Log In / Offline Routing Never Worked

    I’ve subscribed for about 5 years now. Offline routing has never worked that entire time. Contacted support and part of the troubleshooting was to log out of the app, and now I can’t log in just like everyone else leaving recent reviews. I believe the new iOS update has broken the Gaia log in function. However Gaia has been incredibly slow to deploy a patch. The app is completely broken and I can’t log in to use my subscription. One other thing - Gaia needs to update their server speeds for map downloads. No matter how fast your internet is as a user, the map downloads are painfully slow.
  • App does not work after you buy subscription

    I bought the year subscription for $59.90 and as soon as I bought it the app did not work. I have contacted them as a company and they seem to not care at all about the app no longer working after I paid for the year. I would not recommend this app, I would recommend OnX hunt for a better experience and it’s a way better app!

  • Waste of time and money

    I used to love just how easy Gaia was to use but ever since getting a new phone I just cannot use the app whatsoever I’m blocked at the login screen I can login to all of my greedy “Outside inc.” accounts on the websites but whenever I try on the app it doesn’t work this is after many many wasted hours trying on my own time and trying to get help by support and just nothing works at all. I hope I can get access on the app working soon if only to just delete my account and not let outside inc sell my data Update: you can’t delete your account without accessing the app! So I cannot delete my account at all! I love being locked into a service with absolutely no available way to delete my own account!
  • Required login in backcountry!

    By A2345aa
    What the! Two weeks of routes, waypoints locked out when 2 days out in backcountry. Fortunately I had paper maps and a Garmin Explore app for backup. It is unforgivably bad design to require internet login when in the backcountry. If I can’t reliably get my location or track, there is no benefit to this app.
  • Fix UI and basic features first

    1
    By Thgdrf
    UI is not user friendly, “hikes” will be recorded even once you’re going down a highway at 80 after you forget to pause them and they cannot be edited afterwards. You can also be logged out and lose downloaded maps. These critical issues should be fixed before expanding features and selling more memberships.
  • UI is not intuitive

    By Andrii Doroshko
    Very hard to use the app and find trails. The UI is nightmare. I can't even find how to buy a subscription. How to see trails around me on map? It is only a list when searching…. Very poor experience
  • Outside Inc. is greedy

    By Cacaman42069
    App used to be great. But once Outside acquired it, the subscription philosophy was greatly pushed. Thus, quality and reliability of the app has gone down, while they put classic features behind paywalls. Route saving paywall was the last straw for me.
  • App crashes, saved data ends up missing, they don’t respect privacy.

    For whatever reason I cannot get the app to work without crashing on my ipad. Very frustrating as I have paid a subscription. I’m unable to download maps for offline use which makes the service a waste of money. Please fix your app, I am not happy. I also have problems with my data sync. I spend hours customizing my waypoints with icons, names of locations, and notes, only to have them synch with all the data missing. They don’t let you speak with anyone to troubleshoot, you can only send an email request. It has been about 5 days since I requested help on this problem, and I have not received a response. I also discovered they changed my data privacy setting to share everything without my knowledge or consent, this is so shady! This app subscription is quite expensive, and the company clearly does not respect your privacy. I am very unhappy with it’s functionality and the company as a whole.
