Reviews: What People Think About Bivy - Messaging & Navigation
TheRealSteveDavis
Rating: 4/5
I have been a Bivystick user for nearly a year and this recent update to the app is light years beyond the previous version. Love the improvements to the interface, it makes navigation back and forth between the map and messaging a breeze versus the previous version requiring you to back out of and close windows. The only thing I find missing (and the reason for not giving 5 stars) is the ability to create a waypoint directly from the map. The only place I can seem to add a waypoint is from the waypoints submenu on the home page. This is a big issue as I use waypoints extensively in my other trail mapping apps and not being able to drop a pin directly on the map page is a deal breaker for this replacing my other mapping app entirely. Love it for the tracking, messaging and SOS features but add that feature and Bivy becomes my primary off-grid navigational tool.

I have a dog and I’m constantly out and about so this app is good for us because it has suggestions for all types of activities, not just hiking. I love the idea of crowdsourcing adventures, and I find it interesting seeing what other people have to say about different areas. The app has come along way since it’s launch and I’m sure there will be some more things fixed as it goes along but you couldn’t ask for a better tracking system with the satellite image maps.

Back in March 2022 I was able to download the bivy app from the apple store without being charged on several different devices I have. After I had an issue with one device I removed apps including this one. Then, as of the April 2022 app update for “battery optimization” I went to download the app again. However this time it required a in-app purchase be made for “Premium One Month” even though I had not even entered the app itself. Once the payment was completed then the app finished download and I could enter the app. Labeling the app as “Free” with in-app purchases is fraud since, in my experience, to simply get the app downloaded so you can open it requires a forced in-app purchase.
