Love DackMap but after the new update I lost all my challenge progress from before.

So you have to check off the 7 boxes to get into DackMap and I can only access 6. Terrible!

I paid for the year subscription but an unable to restore the purchase through App Store. Waste of $15.

Can’t access DackMap - the LNT threshold info/checkboxes aren’t formatted properly for my phone (iPhone SE). Not possible to check all boxes, or even read full content of that page. Too bad.

Was excited to try but after downloading found that there was no way to reset the password. And the link to the developer site is just to DackMap download. Very strange

I enjoyed DackMap very much until recently when it cleared all my data and I no longer know what mountains or trails I completed or the dates. Hoping there is a way to recover my data

Good idea, but freezes at opening

A friend and I both downloaded DackMap but his is different. He can track hikes, I do not have that option (the red button on the map view). We both have iPhone 12s with the latest iOS. The “account” pages look different. His app has 4 buttons at the bottom, mine has 5 (same 4 + “scan”). I guess I will delete and unsubscribe because app support appears to only be through Facebook….ans I don’t do that crap. If I can’t track a hike, then DackMap has no use for me. It looks like it could be a decent app (at least for my friend) so I’m disappointed that it won’t work for me. Mobile hiking maps in the ADKs are surprisingly few, so the need is there. Good luck, Barkeater.

Decent map of the area showing key features, but it feels like a lot is missing… links to AMR/Loj information, links/hours/availability at accommodations and eateries, trail information/reviews/conditions, etc… just seems like there could be more information there.
My chief complaint, however, is that there’a no way other than these reviews to leave feedback, and no way to delete a review in app for a mountain… reason being, I started reviewing the high peaks I’ve completed so far, and it’s put numbers on the reviews according to the order they were reviewed. I’d like to delete/reorder my reviews to reflect the order in which I hiked them, but there’s no way to do so.

The fire tower challenge appears to be out of date. It doesn’t coincide with the list produced on the ADK website. Maybe it can be updated here?

Downloaded DackMap as soon as I heard about it since I am in the Adirondacks a lot! I did run into 2 main issues
- it is not showing me real time parking, when I looked at the Loj it showed me the status of parking from a week ago
- I cannot see any of the challenges. This is quite disappointing to me since I like to take on a lot of the challenges in the ADK!

Love DackMap. Would it be possible to add further challenges such as the ADK 29er, the ADK Blue Challenge and the Lake George 12?
by JamaicanMaam
This is a great specialty app. I was able to locate all my favorite ADK spots for hiking and kayaking. Visually pleasant. Suggestion for updates- please add snowmobiling trails.
by Allenmtadk
Helps keep track of specific hiking challenges but also lets you record your hikes. All for free!

Easy to use, worth a try.

I’m a map junkie and love camping in the Adirondacks. DackMap is super responsive, the filters are great, and it’s getting better each day. This is a go to. Must have.

DackMap had everything we needed to help us navigate our time while visiting in the Adirondacks. Highly recommend!
by Brian Peppers Zzz
DackMap nearly saved our lives! Hiking on the herd path up to Panther Peak with my father who had DackMap on his phone and was able to load it with no cell phone reception!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
by Litidk
A goal for me has always been to complete the 46 high peaks in the Adirondacks, Unlike Alltrails or any other app, DackMap works with No service amazing! and Im sure we can relate to having no service problems when hiking in the Adirondacks. DackMap is amazing and I recommend this to any other hiker trying to hike the 46 high peaks of the Adirondacks.
