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.

Really Outdoor!? Making me login while offline starting a hike? Now that I needed to recreate an existing account, I also couldn't use the app offline after setting up a new account with Outdoor after the migration from the acquisition. So frustrating as I downloaded a planned hike to be met with a login at the trailhead even though I had migrated my account to Outdoor and logged in previously the day before. Unreliable when I needed it most.

The app is great mostly. Discovery does not really exist on this so finding new spots or trails lacks. Navigation is not very user friendly as you have to do multiple clicks to try and find guiding or saving. The trail names are very difficult to read even when zoomed in. Wish it had auto switch from day or dark mode. Have to zoom in to try and click you exact spot to save instead of a button to just save where are. Would be nice to have colored waypoints to differentiate which is camp and not.
