Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can decrease battery life.
What does that even mean?! Uninstalled.
Unable to take it off metric. This makes it useless for American users. Make the units changeable and you'll increase your downloads.
Useful
I checked out this app for its offline functionality. But then found that it works really well. It does exactly what I want and seem to do it flawlessly. Kudos to the developers. It isn't even battery-thirsty. ☺ 5 stars for sure.

I have installed MapToHike on my android phone to try it out. Sadly, the GPS functionality does not work as expected. The app pops up a notification to enable my GPS, independently if its already enabled - the app shows my position but everything else does not work. I have written an e-mail which describes the problem in detail - I didn't get any response after one week. Therefore, i give only one star, because the app is completly useless for me and by the fact nobody reacted on my bug report. Nevertheless, everybody should try the app, since it has an option to try out the app without a registration.
