Summary

Komoot, the award-winning outdoor navigation app, is used by over 4 million cyclists, mountain bikers, and hikers worldwide to plan better routes and enjoy nature. Founded in 2010 by a group of outdoor enthusiasts, Komoot has grown to 30 employees and uses a variety of tools such as Trello, Google Tools, Jenkins, HockeyApp, and Instabug to manage projects, gather feedback, and test its app. The company relies on its internal team as beta testers and also sends usability tests to external users to collect feedback. Komoot has found that Instabug helps improve the quality of feedback by making it easy for developers to take screenshots, insert details, and grab contextual information. The app's development cycle is flexible, with releases happening every few weeks, and Komoot focuses on enhancing existing features and catering to international markets.
