UX: it takes too many taps to get to sector topos, painful to navigte between sectors

This is on Android.

It takes too many taps to end up with sector topos. When I open a crag, the first likely option is “View routes”, but the sector topos are not there. One can open a route, and here is good stuff, I can now view all the photos of the routes and zoom them in, that’s really nice! From here I can get to the picture of the sector, nice. Then, getting back to the main page of the crag, there’s the section with “view topos” button. If I click a picture, it will take me to the sector, but I have no way of knowing what sector it’s going to be. If I click “View topos”, I get to the list of sectors, which makes it easy to select the sector, but I find that an extra step in my typical use case of just wanting to find the topos. I suggest adding a label with the sector name to the photos on the main page, so one can open the wanted sector directly from there.

OK, now I have finally managed to open the sectory view. Typically I want to scroll through the sectorys quickly when I arrive. I can use the arrow keys to change between the photos, but I can no longer move between the sectors using the arrows. Darn. Maybe I can click the sector name? No? So to change the sector I need to press back to get back to the sector list and select the new sector from there. That’s painful. Pressing from the sector name is a painful solution as well, as I need to move my finger and think about sectors when moving on. I suggest moving from sector to the next using the same arrow keys as with changing the photos, but adding a some kind of visual hint underlining the fact that I have now moved to the topos of the next sector.

Just quick first impressions. Looks really promising, good job!
