What recommendations does anyone have for European digital mappings apps for iOS?

Specifically I’m looking to be able to download for offline use digital mapping for alpine regions. So it needs to allow access to the premium 1:25,000 mapping for regions. 
 

We’re off to the Dolomites soon and I’ve got paper maps but would like digital as well.

I’ve been looking at Topo and Gaia

Fatmap

I’ve just got back from a 5 day walk in the Tirol using Gaia GPS, I’m very happy with it. 
 

Thank you.

Fat map looks good as does Gaia. I can’t see that any of them have access to Italian topo maps though. They have access to OS and French IGN for example. Unless I’ve missed something?

True, but the ‘satellite topo (meters)’ map really isn’t bad as it combines a few data sources. As a back-up to your paper maps I’d suggest they’re plenty good enough. Let me know if you want me to send a few screen grabs if the areas you’re interested in so that you can see if  you like them. 

Thank you for the offer. I might try a free month with fat maps and see what that’s like especially since it also gives strava access. It seems that none of the apps have access to the Italian topo data

Outdooractive, if you have a premium account. 
 

I like FATMAP but find the map downloads tend to be large/ slow so I tend to use it for planning (without downloading) but use Outdooractive on the hill (with offline maps) 

whympr has Italian digital maps (fraternali)

I’ve used OutdoorActive with a premium subscription to allow downloading maps. It has worked well in Europe as well as at home. 
 

I’ve also used Bergfex Touren which has worked well and allows offline use.
