Used it today for the first time. So much better than having to print out pages. Thanks! On thing I'd like to see change: I uploaded some new boulder problems today, but according to the Area Updates screen on the app, updates are only available every few weeks. This isn't helpful if I want the info on a new climb the next time I go climbing. Is there a way to get updates anytime we want?

No, building those data packages is hugely computationally expensive for a server. Also, downloading data packs costs us real money, so if everyone updated all the areas all the time, we'd be losing money on the app, even with charging $5/year.

We do updates in the middle of the night once/week, and it's likely to stay that way. So, not instant updates, but a lot more than your guidebook collection!

First off, stellar app. Just did a 4 day trip to Red Rocks and the app was hugely helpful. Here's some feedback:

Under Bookmarks and To Do's
1. Add more sorting options here (by area/sub-area/sub-subarea, rating etc)

2. Put more location information in the top of each route so I know what exact area the route is in (right now it says "Nevada > Red Rocks" it'd be nice to say "Red Rocks > Sandstone Quarry > The Wake-Up Wall"). Maybe make the font smaller to fit it all. See image 1.

3. This is a "nice to have" but just tossing it out there; it'd be nice to be able to tag a bookmarked route with a date for planning purposes. We were trying to plan out the routes for the next day and being able to tag a bookmarked route with a planned date (and then sorting or just displaying those dates on the bookmark page) would have been really nice.

Route Detail
1. The top nav to go up a level is hard to use. I think the minimum size for a usable button is 44px by 44px and trying to tap on these guys to first get the drop down and then go up a level is a pain in the ass. See image 2 and 3.

2. Same goes for the Bookmark icon. Hard to actually tap it. See image 2 and 3.

How do I cancel my automatic renewal for the $5 data subscription without access to my iPhone? I got rid of my iPhone and switched to a droid so no MP app for now :(

Edit - How do I cancel my data subscription (iPhone version)?
On your computer (not your phone!), open iTunes, look under the "Store" menu and click "View My Account". Find the "Settings" area, then click "Manage" next to Subscriptions.
