I was a longtime Viewranger fan. Call me cheap but I don't want to pay a subscription service for an app I might use 4 times a year. This app has a very clear design, I spent $10 for great map coverage (perpetual not subscription) and within 15 minutes was out jogging in unknown territory with clear route tracking. Seems to be everything I need. After the hike I wish there were some additional statistics such as total elevation but still worth the 5 star review

Generally very good and my best option as a replacement for Viewranger, but I would prefer the arrow indicating location and direction to be clearer (Viewranger used to have an excellent, very sensitive long arrow showing exact location and direction you were pointing towards). Also some basic info like MPH would be useful, or am I missing something about where that is shown?

Unreliable location recording. It has all the background permissions and unrestricted battery use, but when Android decides to kick it out of RAM or something, the route that was previously being recorded just disappears. This app does not seem to store intermediate versions or resume recording. When it works correctly, it's pretty useful, but it's quite frustrating to have to baby sit it.
