Overland Bound One: Map & GPS

Not happy with the new subscription model. Can't really do anything on the map without a subscription. I actually joined Overland Bound and paid for the lifetime membership because Michael said in one of his videos that members who signed up by a certain date would always have access to the map.

Great app from a great organization. I am really happy with the map functions and being able to find local resources like trailheads, gas, even waste dump sites! Keep up the good work!

Fantastic idea, poorly executed. VERY buggy. Seems to have system memory issues and OS integration failures. Inoperable keyboard and greyed out menus that reboots and reinstalls can't fix. Needs a method to submit bugs within the app.

8⭐ this app just saved my rear end My trip to Little Rock was a little bit more expensive than I thought and needed a scenic place to stay for free I definitely would recommend this if you're over landing and need to know more about the trail system and difficulty

Update: latest updates do not fix crashes. Developers- I realize you asked for screenshot of crash but it's literally the splash screen for 2 seconds and then nothing. Not planning to renew subscription for something that doesn't work.. Original review: Like the app but keeps crashing since the last update

Right now, I have to give one star even though I love the app. Got a new device and went to log in, and can't I tried to reset my password, and it set me up with a guest membership! Got the email to reset, but it leads me to the guest membership. WtW!

Ever since the new update I have not been able to access the app. Its opens but nothing loads. Edit: Apologies on this late edit. My phone is able to navigate and use the app efficiently. Love the app and the community that utilizes such great resources for collaborating and sharing adventures.

It's completely useless. The menu top right crashes every time you try to access settings. Poor R&D. There is no point in the free version. Every effort it made to get you to pay up. You guys are a money grab. Google Earth is hopeless but better than this.

The man I seen this app and I downloaded it and logged in I knew I was going to be a member. I was kind of skeptical because of all the other off-road apps and and camping apps. But once I log into this one I know this is the one. Great job from the developers to the beta testers and all the people of the community in the app. Thank you for everyone's participation. The feature of the Off-roadside assistance SOS app is dope.

Great ideas, but needs refining. I didn't like how I had to sign up just to check the app out. There isn't much content for Canada and I couldn't get details about any locations when I clicked them. Not even one as an example. (Paid content). I had trouble posting in the forum, too. While you're typing if you touch any part of the screen other than the text box you lose everything you were writing; then it wouldn't let me post it anyway. I love the concept, and know it can be refined!

It's a nice app that's full of useful information. Only issue is that it always freezes up. Mainly does it afteryou have 90+ characters. People in the forums are full of great info. Only wish it didn't freeze up so much. Will change my rating once it gets fixed

I've had the app for about a week. During that time, I've mostly just played around on it, getting used to the layout. So far, I'm a fan. My one star rating comes from this...the app keeps crashing when I go to reply to a comment on my post. I'll work on typing my reply for about 30 to 40 seconds. Then, the typing will get extremely laggy. Finally, the app will crash. I tried to reply to the comment multiple times and every time, the app crashes.

Not a good feeling about this app... After trying to sign up, the app froze on the splash screen. Do I try signing up again? It asks(demands) that it uses your location when not using the app every time you open it, even after saying no. It defaults to want to access every person thing on your phone at all times including all your pictures, health/wellness app(not sure why it ever needs that) and location(after saying no previously). Not okay considering they share your info with 3rd parties

Update: The development team reached out. Although the email got lost in my promotions folder thanks Google. I went back this morning to try again and I was able to sign up and get into the app. Thank you devs. Unable to sign up for an account through the app. Freeze on screen with logo after sign up page. No status of what it is trying to do. I force close and open it back up try to sign in. It tells me my account is invalid. Try the password reset and it says no account exist with that email.

Awesome app! Has maps, forum for great overlanding, camping and rig tips and tricks and a feature to connect with others that have similar interests. It is in early stages, but when issues are reported, the OB1 team are working hard to regularly fix and update the app so that the community gets a great, user friendly app. It is useable for free, but if you get an annual subscription, you get many more features and functions. Give it a try. You won't regret it.

needs lots of improvement. I can appreciate the need to allow the location to make use of the maps. However, once I say no, that should be the end of it. Unfortunately, we're nagged to allow full-time location tracking EVERY time you open the app. Forums never load. the profile icon takes you to the logo screen, which does nothing. I can't navigate away and must close the app. which sucks because you're once again nagged to allow full-time location tracking even when not using the app.

6/21 UPDATE: Still can't get biometric to work. I enter my password and I get an error message saying "API key provided in request was not found" And yes, I'm using the correct pw. 6/6: Glad OB finally has an app. Too bad it glitches on some pages. My biggest frustration is the biometric setting. It won't let me activate it. I enter my password and then it crashes and I have to log back into the app.
