What a great app!! Thanks for all you guys do!

GunksApp is the best thing to happen to climbing since cams. Like... you *could* go without it, but man does it make things easier, more fun, and improves your redpoint by three full grades. Honestly, though - I recommend every person who comes and visits me to climb up at the Gunks, download this app. The pictures for every route start (and zoomed out topos) are clutch. I have stopped mid-lead to take out my phone and confirm my route-finding choices more times than I care to admit, and always appreciated having such high quality photos and descriptions in my pocket at all times!

The Haycock app is a real lifesaver.

Good app, one function I wish the app has is a way to collapse sections/boulders so i can quickly get to other sections I without scrolling through tons of routes/boulders. It is also a little clunky to use and get to overview map to get gps running. Navigate feature could use work or get scrapped to make it easier for new users to use the app. Besides that, I really like the app and its option to pay for books, tick routes, and use a gps map to find boulders Could use some tweaks, but amazing!

Great app, I wish I'm app purchases were easier. The compass has never even been close.

Incredible app 👌, if you're into rock climbing this is a must have. Find a suitable climb in the app, and let it navigate you right to the base, no wandering, no guessing. get stuck somewhere? use the photos to know for sure where the route goes.

Would have uninstalled if it was not for the content. Overall buggy behavior on Nexus 6P. Tapping on saved ticks doesn't always work. Hybrid apps suck.
