    App doesnt work if you use a VPN. Worthless.

  • Now a Sad App

    Gaia was once top notch, now it’s just sad since being acquired by Outside. Offline map downloading and map data management is amateurish at best. The app is buggy.

    Two thumbs up

  • Screen too busy

    There's too much unnecessary stuff on the screen while I'm trying to navigate. The HUGE free trial button takes up half the bottom. And the record function takes up the entire top. The former should not be on the screen at all, and the latter should be optional and able to hide from main screen. Nothing like draining my battery during an ultra by accidentally hitting that record button. Almost makes me want to delete the app. Also when I try to zoom in to see the name of the trail I'm on, everything gets larger but the letters stay tiny! The more I use it, the less I like it. But I have all my race routes saved on it, so I've a vested interest in keeping it. If it's a plot to make me buy the premium version, it's making me not even want to use the app.

    The most recent update completely wiped all of my saved tracks from the map and the “Saved” section. 💔

  • degradation of free tier

    Gaia is a great app, but not for the free users it used to serve. More and more features are getting removed from the free tier, and it's dwindled down to just route length planning from offline maps, saving, and elevation profiles. i miss good gaia :(

    This app used to be great! A lot of useful features were free. Now that it has been “sold”, it sucks! Useful features are hidden behind a paywall now and even if you do pay, it’s buggy and useless! DO NOT USE THIS APP!

  • There are better options

    Gaia is an okay app but has been getting worse over time. With the loss of the National Geographic maps this app is starting to lose all advantages it once held against other mapping apps. Not having 3D maps is a major disadvantage and the apps user interface is not great. Would love to see this app bring back National Geographic maps and introduce 3D maps.

    This company has gone down the tubes since they got bought out. Truly hope they crash and burn.

  • Great Phone App/Terrible Watch App

    3
    By Rokair
    I really don’t get it. Yes it is nice I guess for casual hikers and short walks that the watch application can sort of be independent of the phone. Sort of as you have to have a route on the phone and have the phone to transfer that route. Not great even for this case. For serious backpackers the watch app used to be a great tool before the company sold out and the new application was written. I assure you the watch battery is only going to last at most a couple hours running this application. But the phone it will last hours and hours and can be plugged into a battery while still recording your track. If you would like to put that phone into your pack and monitor that active long running route from your watch. Well. Hmm. You used to be able to do this but not with the current application. Don’t get me wrong I am not asking for the sort of stand alone features to be removed. I am sure there are groups that love those features though really the built in Apple apps have you covered there. But give me the ability to also monitor my active route on the phone from the watch.
