Version 8.0.4
feature_requestsBackcountry Nav used to be my go to app for a lot of things. But it feels a bit outdated at this point. I wish they would have the option for multiple layers at a time. One of the biggest reasons I stopped using the app. MVUM data is from 2017, and honestly, the color coding scheme is a bit annoying. I need to carry a print out to understand what the colors mean. Also not very useful for the color blinded folks probably. It will live on my phone, untouched.

offline_functionalityI use the old style topo map scaled in feet ,it is easier for me to understand. I always know exactly where I'm at . I'm able to download the area I am in so I can be offline unconnected, and it works perfectly fine. I can track myself. How far did i travel? how long did i take?Was i moving or standing still? all used for future reference. mark waypoints , make notes , and store pictures of waypoints . I love this app quite possibility my favorite app! Especially when I'm bicycling .

user_data_and_privacyfeature_requestspaymentIt was a great app and it still works but after Android undated it's file access permissions you cannot backup your data and the file migration option does not work on new Android operating systems. Fix the issues and I would be happy to pay an upgrade fee to start using it again. If you cannot backup your data it's makes the app pretty much useless.
