No complaints but a request: please add an "are you sure you want to finish this track?" pop up or similar when hitting "finish track" like other similar apps have. I cannot be the only one out there who accidentally hits "finish track" instead of "pause recording" on occasion and it's frustrating as there's no way (that I've seen) to be able to undo that.

Will use all your data and storage. The app insists on automatically downloading every single map you have saved. So I routinely delete all its storage when I'm not in the mountains. I recently logged in to check something and it immediately started downloading all my saved maps over mobile data, even though it's explicitly set to only download over WiFi. It pulled 1.5GB before I got an alert from my carrier and force stopped it. That's going to cost me $15.

This used to be a good app. I am a premium member, and I can not log in anymore. I have contacted support. They are asking for a screenshot shot of my account. Every time I send it in, they block the image and tell me the email was empty. They just keep sending me the same email asking for a screenshot of my account. Broken record. Support tells me my account does not exist, but if I try to recreate the account the app says my account exists. Such a shame.
