About BMC RAD

The Regional Access Database (RAD) is the online service from The BMC allowing you to find the latest access advice for crags in England and Wales.

This app allows you
- to view crags with access advice on a map or as a list
- to search for crags
- to view detailed access advice and information
- to mark crags as 'favourites' and get a quick reference view of them on the app dashboard
- report incorrect information to The BMC (not currently all devices - drop an email to access@thebmc.co.uk in the interim)

Y70%
by Y####:

Although good on first use, it's not showing recent Angel Bay (Conwy) changes for me. How do I force it to sync data? It says last sync was in May 2017, so not brilliant for time sensitive info!

R70%
by R####:

Nice idea but never syncs with BMC database so out of date. Data on BMC website consistently different to app.

Q70%
by Q####:

Would have 5 stars but app no longer updates, all crag status are "UNKNOWN" and icons are grey

I70%
by I####:

Great app

N70%
by N####:

Access info out of date

Z70%
by Z####:

Can't make it update info, so I'm stuck with access info that I know is out of date so end up looking on the website. Some other reviewers clearly don't understand the difference between access issues and guidebooks.

X70%
by X####:

Works on my phone but doesn't have all the data which is on the website e.g. dates of access restrictions to Bamford Edge.

Y70%
by Y####:

Thanks for the bug fix. UI could do with a home button as the back button isn't always appropriate in context. When viewing a crag on map could do with showing nearby crags as well. Favorite crags would work better as an list, alphabetized list, plenty of space. Great work otherwise!

X70%
by X####:

Nice idea, but never been able to get the data to download via WiFi or 3G.

U70%
by U####:

Nearby crags just doesn't work. Crag search appeared promising but when I selected a local crag the app locked up and crashed.

F70%
by F####:

Does exactly what it needs to. There is no excuse for not checking access restrictions now! Developer was very quick to iron out the early bugs too.

V70%
by V####:

Most useful. Only reason for not giving a 5 is I can't see how to submit corrections to BMC, which I thought was a feature?

Z70%
by Z####:

I like it, but it does need some work. I think it's taking up more battery than it needs. Don't know if anyone else has experienced this? I'm pretty sure it's keeping the GPS on all the time.

X70%
by X####:

It would be useful if you type in a postcode or town name to search for crags. Otherwise, this is a good app.

R70%
by R####:

Although crashed few times, I find it a useful app. Thank you

Q70%
by Q####:

Cool, really like. To be super cool we need route information.

X70%
by X####:

When you click on view map on a crag it crashes if this was fixed then worth a 4 if you added photos of crags then defo a 5

X70%
by X####:

Very helpful, however would love it to contain more information about the routes that can be found at the crags.
