iOverlander

Why would I ever use this app when I can just use any regular map app? Charging for premium to download offline maps defeats the entire purpose. If I have service and internet, I don’t need this app. Guess i’ll try Organic Maps

This app used to be free, it’s clear that they hate their user base and have been making the app worse at every opportunity for years now

For most first use screen spams — take it as a red flag to walk away — it’s a trap.

This used to be my favorite app now it’s absolutely trash. $100 a year for overlanding free camping? An absolute joke.

Be very careful, because many of these places no longer offer the services or are misinformed, and the managers don't verify the information. I paid $400 just to have my truck towed.

Gotta say this app has great info from the community but the developers need to step it up, the audacity to try to charge $100 a year for this is absolutely pathetic

And made the app worse

I used to love this app. Now there are ads that pop up on the free version that you can’t close. There is no X anywhere. So unless you find your campsite in 30 seconds before an ad pops up it’s not functional anymore unless you get the paid version.

This use to be an amazing site. My husband and I have used it several times for years. This last year there is now a cost to use it. We like to just look through out the year and only use it 2-3 times a year. It’s crazy.

cash grab devs paywall info that was offered to the community. ridiculous.

I contributed for years to the iOverlander database. Now I cannot even see the items I added because to Search, Download, or even view BLM land - I must pay for a subscription. This app lost its soul. You should be ashamed.

Welp- forced to download this version since the devs bricked version 1 which just flat out worked…. For an app that was built from crowdsourcing they really have some nerve charging a 100$ a year for access. Should have offered discounts to everyone that ‘made this ‘ app what it is now . new version is paywalled beyond belief - not as snappy on low cell service either. Such a loss

I have not used this app in a year. I tried it again and cannot believe they made it worse. Forget about using your phone. Every time you zoom in on a street name or town name, it stays so small you cannot read it. I tried it with and iPad, same deal. You can no longer use the search function without paying. Not worth the money even free.

I tried the app. I’m a senior citizen with weak eyes. Couldn’t read even with reading glasses. Fonts stay extremely small even when zooming. Some names seem to disappear when zooming in.

The new app makeover sucks. The format is horrible and everything has a paywall now. Once a great app now its useless.

In trying to edit a site I was presented with a clock here to continue button which opened a scam website trying to convince me it was apple telling me my phone was infected and tried to open the dialer

5 years on the road, 2 years since they deleted the original app (that worked perfect) 2 years of waiting for the new app to get better and the owners and developers are clearly out of touch and have zero interest in making this app better for the community that literally built it. Delete all your pins and move on to better options. The Better options: OnX (paid) layers that matter: BLM land, active wildfire, smoke layer and cell phone layers The Dyrt (free) getting better every single day as long term users say goodbye to iOverlander forever Hipcamp (paid) find amazing camps and support local farmers, ranchers directly. They’re also working to do something similar like hut to hut in the US

This app used to be the standard for van life. Not anymore for a few reasons: 1. They have taken years of people’s contributions and decided to leverage that into a paid app. That is borderline theft of content from well meaning users. 2. Don’t kid yourself about the “fremium” model. Do you want to see more than one state or province? Need to pay for that. Do you want to see a translation of a review that somebody wrote about a spot in French? You need to pay for that. Do you want to scroll without being bothered by constant pop-ups? You guessed it, you need to pay for that. 3. Abuse and overuse by certain users has made it so that spots listed become a nuisance for locals and therefore end up with no overnight parking restrictions. It is bad enough that you could almost use this app to decide where NOT to park. In the end, we are in a different era than when this app was launched. The developers of this app became greedy and some of the users who are less than respectful that as well. This app is now worse than useless, but it costs more than ever.

This is promoting illegal camping on private land. It should be banned. We take no responsibility for how illegal campers on our private wildlife reserve will be treated by our security forces patrolling for poachers.

This app has gotten progressively worse over the years.

We need to find water and dump stations when we boondock and so far we aren’t getting much of anything on this app

This app was better before the paid version. Now navigation is more difficult and other bugs and weirdness. People also don’t seem to be updating things as closed/unavailable or adding new locations(I’m one of those people that don’t update/add things anymore). Sadly just can’t depend on the app any more. Dyrt now my go to.

Now there are full page ads that you cannot X out of and have to either click on the sd or close the app. Terrible.

Logged on and found nothing there.

Since they retired the old app and made the new one, I have never been able to get anything to pop up on my map, no matter the filters
