GPX Hero - GPX Editor

Don’t bother. Without paying for the full version, it does literally nothing. It opens, show a map and a dialog box, if you tap either of them, you are prompted to pay for a full version. Since the free version does nothing, I assume the paid version does nothing as well, just faster, with more options, and probably something lame like facebook sharing. Not for real use.

As a runner and cyclist, I love using this app when traveling as I can quickly plan a training run even in an unfamiliar city and easily send the GPX file to the navigation on my Garmin watch from my iPad. I love that UI is simple to use and very easy to figure out right from day one, and that it doesn’t have many complicated features that most people wouldn’t even need. If the developer is planning any updates I would recommend just two additions. 1) The ability to use the device’s location to center the map to your location, as this would save scrolling around to find where you are when in an unfamiliar place. And 2) the ability to add edit points to an already drawn route that can be dragged to edit and adjust the route after you have plotted where you basically want to go. Apart from that I wouldn’t want to add anything else. There are other more complicated apps out there for anyone that really wants all the bells and whistles. The beauty of this app is that it is so simple to use.

No ads. No frills. Simple to use. I just wanted to cut some gpx traces from a long ride and this app did it perfectly.
