I wonder what they mean by "cross platform"?

And why would anyone need most of those things?
 Cloud? For what?
 Hourly updates? C'mon.
 Weather plugin? Sure, but there are weather apps.
 Elevation widget? Not sure what it does.
 Customize route line? You can do that with other apps.
 Online elevation profile? For what? 

I'd use the free OSMAnd~ instead.
