Ratings and Reviews
A must have app for hiking in Japan
Social media meets hiking & the outdoors!
See the popular hikes and what others have commented!
Great maps with vital details like restroom & bus stops!
Where is the English version??
When I decided to download this App I was excited because the data / App description said it was in English (also Japanese). So, I download the App (from the US App Store), and found that most of the whole thing is in Japanese 🤬.
I played around with it and figured out how record a simple day hike, but it’s just to much of a chore.
The Maps of Japan are pretty good but if you don’t understand (read) Japanese you won’t be happy. Sad 😢
Is it possible that I received a Japanese version of this App by mistake??
YAMAP is not navigable in English
While Yamap claims to work in English, I have spent way too many hours just trying to create an account. The process is impossible for me to navigate with my limited ability to read and write Japanese. I want to cancel my purchase before the free demo period expires but I can find no way to do that. This app is either a fraud or is an inferior product created by an incompetent developer. I do not want to pay ichi yen for it.
