The long-anticipated update for our Android app is now available on Google Play! We’re delighted to send this update for free to all existing users. We’re also going to keep the price of the Android app at $9.99 for the time being, but in the future it will be priced the same as the iOS app ($19.99).
Earlier this year we began rewriting Gaia GPS for Android from the ground up, in house. Our core developers have been working on this release for six months, and we are very excited to show off the new app. Gaia GPS 5.0 offers all the features of the previous Android release, and much more. It is also faster, more reliable, and more usable in almost every respect. And we have much more to come before spring!
