Tell us how we can make The Topo better for you.
Latest app versions: iOS 3.3.2, Android 3.3.2
Routes that have already been ticked should be highlighted or have a clear tickmark next to them in topo route listings
I cannot find a way to see activity or connect to other climbers. This feature is available, with limited functionality, on the old webpage. There is also a start screen where recent activity is visible. This is generic and not related to connections. Would be helpful and provide inspiration.
This is on Android. It takes too many taps to end up with sector topos. When I open a crag, the first likely option is “View routes”, but the sector topos are not there. One can open a route, and here is good stuff, I can now view all the photos of the routes and zoom them in, that’s really nice! From here I can get to the picture of the sector, nice. Then, getting back to the main page of the crag, there’s the section with “view topos” button. If I click a picture, it will take me to the sector, but I have no way of knowing what sector it’s going to be. If I click “View topos”, I get to the list of sectors, which makes it easy to select the sector, but I find that an extra step in my typical use case of just wanting to find the topos. I suggest adding a label with the sector name to the photos on the main page, so one can open the wanted sector directly from there. OK, now I have finally managed to open the sectory view. Typically I want to scroll through the sectorys quickly when I arrive. I can use the arrow keys to change between the photos, but I can no longer move between the sectors using the arrows. Darn. Maybe I can click the sector name? No? So to change the sector I need to press back to get back to the sector list and select the new sector from there. That’s painful. Pressing from the sector name is a painful solution as well, as I need to move my finger and think about sectors when moving on. I suggest moving from sector to the next using the same arrow keys as with changing the photos, but adding a some kind of visual hint underlining the fact that I have now moved to the topos of the next sector. Just quick first impressions. Looks really promising, good job!
Hi! Would love a dark mode feature in the settings. Not sure if already requested/planned. Thanks!
I find most features quite slow, when I'm wanna go back an forth from one sector to another it gets stuck, and you end upp clicking several times and the consequence of that is that it leaves the place you are visiting completely. Also would be nice to being able to see what I have already tickt, without have to press on it .
Need to be able to favorite crags. And would be nice if it where a seperate tab for crags made by myself.
Before, when watching beta video and the video is a multi beta video, their was a timemarker. that was very useful, but seems to be gone now :(
I think is very very hard not having the swiping possibility once you are looking at a boulder, getting out and opening another one or going to the list and checking one boulder at the time is not very user friendly. I think one strong feature before was the swiping possibility, even if the boulders were showed in random orders, you were getting the idea of the area and an undesrstanding of the boulders around, now i do not feel to use the app more than 5 minutes to check some areas because is getting very hard to explore the zone.
There is currently no feed of activities from people and locations that users follow. Issues to Address: Absence of an activity feed reduces the ability to stay informed about important updates. Possible Solutions: Introduce an activity feed that shows updates from followed crags and users, such as sector closures due to bird nesting, new routes, and changes in approach.
When you sort the routes within a crag by ascents, it would be nice to see the actual amount of ascents each route has and not the rating, or number of ascents + rating.
Small, but important feature from the old version that is missing in the new one. When I browse list of the problems I want to be able to see which lines I’ve already marked as done. Screenshot from the old app:
At the moment home screen has “Most popular nearby“ and “Top 10 - Finland“ sections for me by default. While this perfect selection for new users it is not very helpful when you are using app extensively. It would have been very helpful to reuse data from the search history to render “Recently viewed“ section. Most of the time you open app multiple times to see same area you are climbing in or look through same list of sectors while you are on the rock trip so having them rendered by default would have made it super convenient.
I hate being unable to sort or filter a crag’s routes by climb type. It seems like a no-brainer to be able to choose, boulder, sport, trad, dws, etc. Why should I see 43 trad routes when I came here to boulder???
Possibility to divide route to multiple pitches and give a grade for them. Anchors, bolts or any other useful information should be possible to insert to the topo.
I would like the ability to follow a route/problem in the same way you can follow a climber. That way, it would appear in your feed whenever someone comments on or ticks the problem. I think this would be very interesting, especially when you've established a route or want to keep track of what's happening with your project or well-known/famous routes.
