This seems like an awesome app. Please add a setting to lock map rotation to North up. I cannot stand it when maps rotate while zooming in. It is so difficult to find a decent map app that doesn't do this.

Nice app! I used the free version for two years and then bought the pro version. Good value for money. When I had a problem (the app didn't record the track anymore), I sent a mail to Bergfex and I was promptly helped. Turned out, that de default settings in the newly installed Android version had caused my problem. Great help, much appreciated :-) !!

Theoretically I like the app and it's features very much. In the past I used the free version and was very happy with it. Now the zoom level is to low if you don't pay. I paid for the yearly subscription and hoped, some of the bugs would be gone... There are not. Very often the map freezes or the back button just closes the whole app. I hope it doesn't fail us during a trip on top of a mountain...
