Perfect timing - my subscription runs out this month.
Hoping I can cancel and retake it out with that. 🤞

I think I signed up from a PSA last year on here. I've been impressed by the app. The website not so much. It doesn't like to follow paths when making a route, which surprises me considering free stuff like Mapometer does a decent job.

I am the opposite! I find the website easy and quick to use, including printing off. I find the app slow and wobbly at times - I have had a couple of times where despite downloading a route to take, it wants 4g again to redownload or similar.

Big up the OS subscription. A thing of beauty to just rock up to a new part of the UK and mooch around 1:25 style.

I do still love the ceremony of unfurling a paper map on the kitchen table though. Usually means business!

Thanks, I've been meaning to get a subscription for a while now.  Unfortunately there's a problem on the website at the moment. It won't accept card payments. It might just be me, but I've tried 3 different cards one of which I've since used without probs elsewhere.  I'll keep trying.

Same for me. Which is probably a good thing as I don't really need it or any other subscription.

I've being using it for 2yrs or so now and really like both web and iOS app. Not worried about path snapping and overall it's become my go to for custom routes.

I had a subscription for a couple of years and it was great for plotting routes on the laptop, they then updated the website and the route plotting pretty much became unusable

Sorted. Wouldn't go through on my phone, but did on the PC. Thanks again for the PSA 👍

Worked for me. The offer tempted me to give them another go as I have not found a replacement for ViewRanger since it went down the pan

Thanks for the PSA, signed up. iOS app seems to look quite good on first impressions.

Bing Maps' OS viewer seems to have broken itself, so I might be forced to go for this.

I bought a subscription during black Friday (I think). I have not used the app yet, but the website has been pretty good so far.

I have a very old version of Memory Maps, so the online OS provides more up to date stuff.

The other day I found a pile of DVDs in a drawer which were the UK in 1:25k on Memory Map!

Good PSA.

The app only lets you download medium sized areas at a time for offline usage, so if you want the whole country it's impractical, or if you want a national park you'll have to try and line up lots of areas and hope you don't miss a strip. One more piece of faff before going somewhere.

Also can't always be trusted when no signal. Few times it's opened up with all the menus etc. but just white where the map should be, despite me having the offline maps downloaded.
