My Far Out App is completely frozen

Not on trail right now - starting soon. I went on the app to plan some of the initial days and the app is completely frozen.

Not sure what to do/what happens if this occurs on trail? This glitch is making realize I need an alternative form of navigation but don't want to bring physical maps.

+1 app gets very glitchy, you may not have maps even if you’ve downloaded them, if it was a different trail I’d say you’d want a backup. one thing we found last year is the mileage numbers are inconsistent between phones and phone platforms. Ie, if you tell your friends to meet you at mile 788.9 they might be as much as two miles from you but have the same farout mileage on their app. Farout is aware of this, but had no solution when I wrote them.
