I’ve previously found the OS Maps app pretty terrible. So much so that I didn’t bother to renew my subscription.
My girlfriend swears by Outdooractive (used to be called Viewranger). I have a RideWithGPS subscription and use that to plan walking routes as well as cycling routes and it’s been great.

Ridewithgps just works. But you can use bing maps for zoomable OS mapping.

I would ask is there anything else I should consider before paying for the premuim version with OS maps - it's only £18 a year which seems pretty reasonable tbh.
Have a look at backcountry navigator. Single payment and have access to OS maps through it.

I have found OS maps app to be great. Well worth the money.

I am in the early stages of planning a long through hike, are there any good online tools for route plotting I should be looking at? I have a plotaroute.com account which is pretty good (free version) and I have used it for plotting long runs but thought I would ask is there anything else I should consider before paying for the premuim version with OS maps - it's only £18 a year which seems pretty reasonable tbh.
