Atlas Guides DE, Inc. · Navigation
Rewrites in v14/v15 introduced severe reliability bugs: freezes after days offline, inaccessible downloaded maps, lost purchases and receipt errors. A comment-filter change also wiped crowd-sourced comments. Monetization complaints are minor, and users name alternatives (AllTrails, CalTopo, Gaia, Garmin), so switching is easy.
Track N Trail LLC · Navigation
The decline comes from the core paid feature, camera-based blood detection, failing in real use. It flags every red or orange leaf or berry as blood, misses dried blood, and drops map pins in the wrong place. This looks like a product that never worked well rather than one that degraded, and monetization is only a secondary irritant through the paywall and lack of refunds.
Navico Norway AS · Navigation
Reviews overwhelmingly cite crashes, lost GPS position, broken track saving, frozen settings and failed offline downloads across several versions. The software is neglected, but the charts themselves are praised.
Reviews are dominated by crashes, disappearing location, settings resets, lost waypoints and a removed water-level feature across versions, which points to neglect and poor quality. Some crashes coincide with iOS 26, but the problems persist across releases. Much of the value depends on proprietary charts and Lowrance hardware integration.
GEC s.r.l. · Navigation
Recent reviews mostly cite broken tile downloads, a buggy route planner, freezes, disappearing offline charts and poor UX. A secondary theme is creeping add-on pricing. Users are not captive, since Navionics and iBoating are named as alternatives.
onXmaps, Inc. · Navigation
Mostly stability and data-freshness complaints (crashes, overheating, lost pins, subscription entitlement bugs, stale parcel data, poor support), with a significant secondary thread of paywall and price complaints.
BaseMap Inc · Navigation
Dominant complaints are crashes on launch, login lockouts, broken offline maps and markers, slow layers and unresponsive support; users leave for onX. One monetization complaint about the free offline map, but the decline is mainly reliability and neglect.
Avenza Systems Inc. · Navigation
After an acquisition by Blue Marble, Avenza removed the free tier's 3 map imports and moved GPS on custom maps behind subscriptions with tight import quotas. That drove mass 1-star reviews from firefighters, hikers and backpackers, many of whom name free alternatives.
Sportsman Tracker, Inc · Navigation
Most complaints are about paywalling: the free tier was gutted, features keep moving into higher tiers, the price is about $120/yr, and trial/cancel/billing practices look predatory. Secondary product rot shows in stale parcel data, UX regressions in Huntcast and wind maps, and nonexistent support.
GOLDLAB APPLICATIONS YAZILIM VE BILISIM ANONIM SIRKETI · Navigation
Reviews center on a deceptive paywall: users are charged before any trial, ads promise features the app lacks, and a second pro upsell follows the first payment. Launch and search crashes on iOS 27 add to the damage. The underlying feature, GPS navigation with satellite maps, is a commodity, but the app looks like an ad-driven paywall product with likely inflated ratings rather than a loved product that decayed.
Garmin International · Navigation
The decline is driven mostly by Garmin raising the annual subscription to about $49 and paywalling basic charts and saved spots. This is compounded by a widespread bug where paid users get stuck in a subscription-entitlement loop, plus crashes and GPS freezes. Users still pay, but many are churning to Savvy Navvy, Orca and free NOAA-based apps.
Wikiloc Outdoor SL · Navigation
Recent decline reviews center on a stingy free tier, paywalled features, and forced sign-in/trial upsell, mixed with long-standing UX bugs (GPS accuracy, sign-in, Garmin sync); the core asset is a large user-generated trail database with network effects, making it hard to out-build.
Ride with GPS LLC · Health & Fitness
Complaints center on aggressive monetization: navigation is now paywalled, trials convert straight to annual billing, upsell pop-ups are constant and there is no in-app cancel. Alongside this are widespread UX complexity complaints and navigation bugs (late cues, no reroute). People still pay, and the route library and community give the app some stickiness.
The decline is driven mostly by aggressive monetization: forced login, paywalled trails, upsell pop-ups, per-activity subscriptions and cancellation billing problems. These sit alongside product weaknesses such as thin trail data, poor search, a broken route builder and a removed line tool.
SAVVY NAVVY LTD · Navigation
Most complaints target the hidden hard paywall/trial and high annual price, compounded by buggy auto-routing, subscription sync failures and poor support; chart coverage gaps also recur.
EZ RECURRING LLC · Navigation
Most reviews attack an immediate hard paywall with a $5/week or $20/month subscription for car-enthusiast speed tracking. A later update removing 0-60 and top-speed leaderboards adds some product rot, and reviewers say free alternatives exist.
