Using v2024.9 (8722) on Android v16, map overlays get removed from the active display when you change screen orientation each time you start the app. For example, I typically use the Satellite map with the USGS Topo map overlayed at roughly 50% opacity. When I start the app in portrait mode it's as expected but when I change to landscape, the USGS Topo layer gets removed and moved to near the bottom of the list. I have to reset the layer everytime I start the app.

This is the best GPS app I have ever found. I am a geologist so my standards are high and I find it user friendly but with all the bells and whistles that you might want. The hiking trail coverage is ridiculously robust. Even a little local wildlife refuge in my town had the trails marked. It has a built-in compass as well which is nice when you're looking at a map.

It has been terrible since the rate increase. I don't think I have even been able to use it in 3 months. App opens but constantly needs to be signed in again. If I have service when I open it, I don't know my password. So I end up in the free version. Now I have my password and it won't even open. Keeps saying error. So I literally can't use it at all. I tried to go on the desktop website, it won't open. So I can't even log on to cancel. I paid a higher rate just 3 months ago for renewal
