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.
