I've used this app for a number of years and generally it is good enough for my use. Every so often it fails on me, today being such a day. I'm doing the challenges and also using the app to plot a sponsored walk for charity. I set off at 5am and covered 4.5miles but the "Save" button was unresponsive and I couldn't save the track. Sync put the track into my account but because I then drove 10 miles to work it discounted it. I tried again at work by testing 1.1 miles and the same happened.

You can edit a track that is too long and cut the end off. For the problem with not being able to save, please contact support@outdooractive.com with more details. A screen grab showing the state of the screen when it would not save would help.

This app failed to record my activities properly. Although the route on the map is correct the time it took and distance are wrong. I never used to have problems and nothing has changed between it working and not working. I also always have to change the app settings to unrestricted even when it's already set to this which is annoying. I would appreciate it if these issues could be fixed.

Please contact support@outdooractive.com with a link to your track. Most likely the phone lost GPS position fix, or else the app was power or resource managed by Android and stopped. The location permission is not controlled by Outdooractive, it's controlled by Android. Maybe you have some other app or setting to remove or reduce permissions.

An essential tool in my hiking kit. I use the app to plan, find and follow routes in the UK and other countries. I appreciate being able to quickly plan and find routes on the web interface and download to my Android phone for navigation or tracking where it performs fine. The UI is not always intuitive but the support team are super fast to respond to emailed help queries. Pro subscription is good value considering it gives me full OS mapping so I don't need to buy maps anymore.
