  • Not reliable in airplane mode

    By gene_sf
    I’ve been using Gaia for years. Lately, it seems to really be unhappy in airplane mode — which is my main use of the app when I’m in the backcountry. Nearly every action — launching the app, adding a layer, changing a layer opacity, adding a waypoint, viewing a saved track — causes a minutes-long delay. That’s if the app doesn’t crash altogether. Not fun when I’m off trail, halfway up a mountain, and trying to figure out where I’m going.

  • WORTHLESS

    You’re better off using your iPhone!

  • No longer any good

    I paid for it, used it for years and now can’t even sign on without jumping through a bunch of hoops. Outside bought them and immediately turned into 1900s tech. Downloading OnX after I post this, not wasting anymore time on this leap backwards.

  • Rip Off

    The app is ok but i think Alltrails is much better and easier to use. The rip off is they bundled my subscription with stupid outside magazine without me knowing. they said it was to improve the app! when my auto subscription came up i tried to cancel the outside subscription but they said it was too late. i did it 16 days after the auto renew date but the deadline (which is stated nowhere) is 14 days. what a joke . very bad customer service. i cancelled my subscription. i will just use Alltrails.

  • Used to be great

    This app used to be great but has become more expensive and less usable over time. It’s super slow to open when you have a weak cell signal and resets the map location all the time if you are opening and closing the app repeatedly.

  • Absolutely do not download!

    -🌠 They automatically charge you for the yearly subscription and no way to cancel the subscription for a refund.

  • Keep Current Selection of Photos?

  • Nice but needs a lot of work

    Gaia is being out performed by similar apps such as OnX. Gaia is fairly complicated to use, has lower quality zoom when getting really close on satellite maps, and doesn’t have 3D maps. While some features like the cell phone service maps and native lands maps are useful and unique, this app has largely let me down. I tried planning a backpacking trip using the app and when zooming in to look at a certain area it was super blurry, but when using other map apps I was able to see significantly more clearly. This is also important when trying to identify new spots to fish on a river, where looking at the features of the river and bend etc are important when determining if hiking out to a potential spot may be worth it. Additionally, apps like OnX provide 3D maps which is a great way to help visualize the route prior to getting there. Sure it’s not absolutely needed but these are nice to have features that competitors are doing well. I expected more from an app supposedly built for people who like to spend time outdoors but after several tries at trying to make this app work I found myself having to look elsewhere for what I needed. I really wanted Gaia to be all I needed but it ended up being my go to for nothing serious.

  • Long time user

    The application has become buggy as many others have said. But after restoring my phone, I no longer get satellite imagery.. The annual subscription really isn’t worth it. Will use AllTrails and a standard GPS going forward.

  • Would be 5 stars but the price hike reduces it to 3

    By Nicknamelhxsegbxsfhj
    I’ve used Gaia to hike in 45 states the last 3 years for thousands of miles and I love it. Increasing the price by 30% is ridiculous. This feels very anti consumer and a huge cash grab and I’m sad to have to cancel my subscription.
