## Short Description

Above is a privacy-friendly hiking app for iPhone that brings GPX routes,
recordings, offline maps and an automatic summit book into one simple app.

## Boilerplate

Above is developed by justasimple.app, an independent app studio based in
Munich. The app is made for hikers who want to plan, record and archive their
tours privately without a user account, social feed, ads or subscription. Above
combines tour archive, GPX import, offline hiking map and automatic summit book
in a native iPhone app.

## What Makes Above Different

- **Everything about your own hike in one place:** planned GPX routes, recorded tours, distance, elevation, photos, notes and waypoints stay together instead of being scattered across apps.
- **Automatic summit book:** Above recognises summits from recorded and imported tours, then keeps them with stats, notes, favourites and GPX export.
- **Offline map for the trail:** topo maps, POIs, difficult trail sections, compass, bearing, weather warnings, route-deviation alerts and emergency information stay available directly on the iPhone while hiking.
- **Private by design:** no user account, no feed, no ads and no public profile. Tours stay on the iPhone and, if enabled, in private iCloud.

## Assets

The archive contains light and dark app icons plus all framed press screenshots
in English and German.
