Kalymnos Rock Climbing Topo for Android
Bought both guide books over the years of climbing their. Tried the app last year just using my mobile works great and love the GPS overlay to find the parking spots etc. keep up the good work
Had a few problems with the topos not downloading. It may have been a problem with the server. After reinstalling I eventually got them downloaded. The context links from topo to route is good if difficult to touch in exactly the right place. The big negatives for me are the quality of the topos especially if zooming in. I think you'll struggle to identify route without the name on the rock else you'll need the guidebook. Second screen rotation doesn't work which makes the above worse. Great concept though
A great app, does what it promises! Had a few minor bugs and some missing approach maps but nothing serious. I would have wished for possibility to change star rating etc if I misclicked first. Also option "other" for onsight / flash / redpoint would be awesome.
Apparently the issues have been fixed, but the working version available during Kalymnos prime season was very buggy - The app crashed a lot (MotoG) while viewing lists of routes an even the feedback form made the app crash again! The grading scale leaves a lot to be desired, with wild fluctuations and harsh downgrades; where do they bury the 6c+ leaders who set off up DNA in Grande Grotte? One bizarre omission from the App is Sikati Cave, yet if you search the graded list, all the routes in this sector can be found? Another bug yet to be resolved? Overall, a good first try, but perhaps a lot more debugging was needed before releasing this as a commercial product.
Stars for routes differ to book. Have to agree with the app for most routes. Route lengths would be handy. Other than that top banana. Any way to export the tick list? I'll have a new phone by next trip.

They don't update the app for some reason! No point of paying for a not updated version. The vertical life version is newer...
