Review MapMagic?

Reviewers mostly like MapMagic for practical trip planning: they praise smooth real-time collaboration, clear route organization for multi-day outings, convenient navigation, support for water routes, and easy saving, sharing, and exporting of trails for offline use in other apps. Several say it feels made by people who actually explore. The main criticism is sharp and specific, though: one user describes forced trial prompts, failed account deletion, and a WhatsApp-based support channel as serious trust and usability problems. A few others ask for better grouping, route libraries, and clearer place names.

Tried mapmagic for a few hiking trips and it’s been really useful. planning routes with friends in real time is smooth, and i like how it organizes multi-day adventures without getting messy. saving and sharing trails makes it easy to revisit spots. definitely feels built by real explorers.

Pros: The initial concept seemed promising, but I was unable to evaluate the product properly due to the issues below. Cons: My experience was immediately soured by a few major red flags: Aggressive & Deceptive Onboarding: Upon signing up, you're hit with a modal for a "7-day free trial" that you cannot close. It forces you through a multi-step guide that is clearly designed to funnel you into starting a paid subscription, which is very easy to do by mistake. This feels like a deliberate dark pattern. Impossible to Delete Account: After deciding this service wasn't for me, I tried to delete my account multiple times. Each attempt fails with a generic error: "Something went wrong, contact support." Unprofessional Support Channel: The "support" offered is a WhatsApp group, which requires you to share your personal phone number. This is not a standard or secure practice for handling account issues like deletion. Final Thoughts: A service that makes it this difficult to leave raises serious trust issues. I'm very glad I didn't enter any payment information and would caution others to be extremely careful.

I've had some hiking experience in Armenia and Turkey — it was a bit hard to start because there was not an easy-to-find place with great hiking routes. Especially adventure-like routes - over time I learned I enjoy the most when there are a lot of different views and terrains. To be honest, the first two routes I tried made me suffer and were boring 😄 Manymap looks super interesting to me — I can plan the route, see the interesting places and terrain changes upfront, and collab with friends. Looking forward to trying this one for my next route 💜

As outdoor lover I know the "quest" to plan a trip with your fellows. Since I visit remote places with no coverage at all, the feature to download your route for further usage in different apps is really useful. I'm looking forward to seeing route library although.

Congrats on this launch, Alex! 🚀 I love the real-time collaboration aspect of Manymap! It would be great to see a feature that suggests nearby accommodations based on the route planned to make adventure planning even more accessible.

Very cool service! I will try it next time I go cycling. Also, can I see locations on the map not only in the local language? Because when I'm traveling, it's a bit confusing.
