Once a great App, Useless if you turn off location. Last update to this app is horrible,,, moved the map icon to the bottom which your fingers hit and changes your screen,,, put it back in the upper right corner where it was for the longest time,,, second, when searching for new trails in a different area, the search bar times out and puts you back to your location, very frustrating when looking in different states while planning a hike,,, third, once in the map view, the app goes full screen on occasion, leaving you now way to return to the main screen that I can find, you have to close the app down and reopen,,, used this app for years, not all updates are the best… update to this review, absolutely useless if you turn off your location, if I want my privacy that belongs to me, All Trails now forcing me to allow my location information or your not allowed to use the app that you paid for in good faith. This information belongs to me not the app developer, I should be able to search a location, download a map to without allowing the developer to force you to have your location, truly an act of forced dictatorship and truly a crime that you cannot keep your location private, just want a map, do not need the app to baby sit me while hiking, if I h go puke rate it no stars I would, one is to much praise…

All Trails is the best for anyone that loves to hike!. All Trails is such a great resource for anyone who loves to hike! I use the app for all my hiking! I love the record feature that allows me to track my progress on any hike, and I love even more that I can put my phone on airplane mode so that I’m not using data while on my hike and still use the record feature! I always check out the All Trails reviews from other hikers before heading out, and usually find that other hikers have great insight/feedback about trail conditions. The only feature I don’t love about All Trails is the rating technique that is used for hiking trails. Trails are rated as either easy/moderate/hard and I have found through my experience that trails aren’t very consistently rated. I’ve hiked some trails that were rated as hard and the hike felt easy. I’ve hiked some rated as moderate and the hike felt hard. I understand that rating trails is a challenging component of hiking due to different levels of experience and fitness, however I would love to see an option where hikers who have completed the hike are able to submit their feedback on how challenging the hike was from 1-10. I think, overall, a 1-10 scale for how challenging a hike is would be extremely beneficial. Overall, I absolutely love All Trails and use the app daily! I recommend it to anyone and fully support what they are doing! Keep up the great work, All Trails!

Great app for big trips and everyday use! A usability request.. I am a fan of Alltrails app for several years ago. It works wonderfully during my hikes/walks around town and was super helpful guiding me and my friends on the trails during a Tour de Mont Blanc trip three years ago. I found one usability issue in the latest version (13.0.2). I use it mostly on daily walks, and it used to feature the tracking function with a big “record” button at the bottom of the display. One click and it started recording my route. This is the feature I use most frequently. In this new version, at first I could not find the record button. Then I figured out that I now have to press 4 clicks to start recording. For a function that (I suspect) many users use frequently this is a terrible UI design. I hope the developers will update the interface to bring back the big start/record button. Thanks!

Access Denied—Resolved. Let me first say, I’m glad you all got a new logo. Makes all the difference in the world when your app doesn’t work. Since the new authentication went in a day or so ago it’s gotten progressively worse. Now I can’t go past the authentication to look at my photos or hikes. Prior to this and still ongoing, the stats don’t match on iPhone and iPad. When asked to delete and reload app, password change will not work. And, service level is poor when you can’t access app or anyone to fix it. AllTrails Pro, now evidently name changed to AllTrails+ is worth ZERO when you can’t access what you’ve bought. Maybe you all should focus on technology rather than name and logo changes. (Update 12-9, including the stars) The team at AllTrails responded to email requests and made several recommendations, i.e. password reset (twice) and deleting and reloading the app. After the second password reset, all data on ipad and iPhone now matches, and i can access the account. Thank you for helping get the access issue completely resolved.

Worth It. We purchased the app to access additional features such as the ability to download maps offline. So far, it has been an excellent investment. The maps work so well that you are able to quickly note when you are off a “mapped” trail — within a few yards. We also like the difficulty ratings, although there will always be a slightly subjective component to that type of rating. With the app, we have found many more trails and, with the offline map, we have the confidence to explore them without getting hopelessly loss. Just be sure to charge your phone and consider bringing an external battery to recharge. The only complaint so far — and it is a minor one — is that total mileage has been a few miles more than app indicated for longer hikes (more than 6 miles). However, we love to hike so we are fine with a couple extra miles but keep that in mind if you need to finish by a certain time or it is almost dark. Happy hiking!

Good app, but .... I have been using the app for hiking and mountain biking. It´s very valuable and makes you feel really confident and worry free, that you are following the right trail and that you will get home safely. Although, I have found 2 things, which need improvement : 1) I was recording my day hike and when I got back to my car, I wanted to save the hike, review it etc. But, there was no cell phone signal, which typically there isn’t, when you hike, so the application wouldn’t let me finish the process of saving/reviewing/adding comments. Then I drove back to town and wanted to finish this process. But the application, was basically asking me, if I want to continue recording, if I said “no”, the only choice it gave me, was to clear the data. Of course, I don’t want to add car drive to my hiking trip ...., 2) The other improvement is related to it. I think, if one is recording hiking trip and then forgets to save it, when gets back to car, the application should automatically detect, that obviously one is not hiking anymore, since the speed is > 10 miles/hour. It should then, ideally, ask you, if you want to make the car ride part of your recording or not. Actually, this happens to me a lot, that I forget to stop recording or that I’m not able to save the trip, because of missing cell phone signal.

Excellent App Useful for Horseback Riding. I use the app as an adjunct to Horse Rider for horseback riding. Checked it out on a 9.5 mile horseback ride at Lizzie Lake near St. Cloud, FL. One other rider has the app also. At the northern end of this trail is a series of relatively short loops that would be easy to get mixed up in. The app worked perfectly for the main trail and all the little loops. The big plus for my usage is that it shows your position on an Alltrails map. It seems to be accurate. However, in some local trails that I frequently ride, I have seen some instances where the Alltrails map is not quite up to date. However it does show paths that people actually use, which are not always the same as the park or reserve on line maps. I use Horse Rider to record my track, which includes the path, speed, and in my case heartbeat, calories, distance, etc. The great thing about Horse Rider is that it automatically shows your path on a satellite map. These make a great pair, as you can instantly check your position on the Alltrails app without scrolling through a lot of stuff. Local to the places I ride, the maps are generally complete and accurate.

Good phone app with a garbage watch app. The app itself is the best I’ve found so far at finding trails. This probably because of the wider user support compared to other apps. It does hit your battery a smidge harder than other hiking apps I’ve tried but so far I haven’t had that be a real problem. However, I cannot for the life of me understand the thought behind the watch app design. All you can do is start/stop a recording and then check some basic stats. No map integration for you to quickly check and see what way you should go at the fork in the trail, which seems to me to be most of the reason you’d want this on your wrist. Most of the other options on the app store offer this. Also, still no health integration? Not vital but cmon it’d be nice. Overall I recommend it for finding popular trails and helping you get along while hiking as they’ve got pretty good user support. But man, it’s not updated very often and when new features are added they’re not very well thought out. I’m coming up on the time where I need to renew pro and I’m not sure I will. I might just use google to find the trails and use another more well thought out and feature rich app for the hiking itself.

AWESOME APP but Needs One Addition. I love this app! I ride an Adventure Bike (GS 1200) and the reviews are great to research various trails to determine if I’m able to do them or how much effort the trail will require. The GS 1200 is a BIG motorcycle and I like knowing if there are “Rock Gardens”, massive ruts, steep declines, etc. Other users often give distances to significant trail challenges which comes in handy!!! Of course, remember that trail conditions change constantly so don’t ride wild based on reviews... The one addition that is needed (in my opinion) is an additional FILTER Category of “Adventure Riding” or “Off Road Motorcycling”. It’s easy enough to use “Off Road Driving” to identify trails that are open to Off Road Riding but the numerous trail user write ups is mostly from rock crawlers or 4x4’ers. I often read these when I’m out and about riding the trails and it would make reviewing up and coming trails much quicker. I upgraded to the Pro version last year and it is the best money I have spent on an app!

Useful and Accurate. This is a great little app. I’m pretty new to hiking, but this app has encouraged me to try different trails that I’d previously steer clear of for sheer lack of knowledge and fear of getting lost. In this sense, it is a game-changer for me. Haven’t used the social platform because it seems a little lacking. So the connectivity is challenging. For instance, it would be nice if people could respond to reviews, but the only way to do that is to write a review yourself. Would be nice to be able to comment on pics too. I realize it’s primarily for tracking and mapping—and in this sense I couldn’t ask for anything more. But the tinkering it does with social connection makes me feel like it could be much more than it is—or why even hint at it and make it difficult to connect? I guess what I would like to see is a kind of Waze system where you can see where other hikers are live and what the encounter. Could be helpful if someone gets hurt or lost if the connectivity was more advanced.

Moderate Hikerbiker. The trail suggestions and information are very good and useful. I use the app for both casual biking and hiking. (As it’s advertised for both. Some suggestions. 1) Would be nice for the recorded route tracing to be a heat map showing pace along the way. Note, this also helps determine direction in intersecting and overlapping lines in a route. This is especially useful for biking and running. It would also to have heat mapped pace to be recorded on elevation diagram to see where I can use improvement. (How I’ve improved on uphill portions of routes, for instance). 2) I just went on a 1:18 route on my bike, recording and using the map for directions. iPhone X went from 90% power to 17% power. Another app I use for the same purpose has WAY LESS battery consumption. I would really like to use the Pro version of All Trails for biking, but this level of battery consumption will be prohibitive. 3) Would be great to have hike/walk, run, bike settings for All Trails. While most of the settings would be the same, I might not need always on map for running or hiking, and sampling rate may be different. 4) Integration with FitBit and/or Apple Watch.

Few issues lately. Oct 2018. Removing the check-in was a bad idea. Hiding it in the “...” was worse, didn’t know it was there and my history is now not accurate, and now I have to make up a name for each recording on the fly. Waste of time. Please put check-in back where it belongs, it’s a critical feature, and right map loads with the name of the trail on the saved history. I also agree with the other user about trail hopping. In New England many trails connect but are listed separately. If you are no longer on the same one you started it appears you are just going rogue on the map. How about auto loading the newly entered trail? Also being able to edit history would be helpful. There’s been a couple times where I started driving home and forgot to hit pause and save. And why the “pause” button when the trail is complete? It’s a weird way to “finish” or “end hike”. Big issue with crashing during use lately. Thought I was recording and it had crashed once phone was put away. If I didn’t stop to take a pic early i would have gone pretty far without noticing. Stinks for tracking distance 😐. Overall I do love and use and recommend this app almost daily to find trails and track my history. Can’t live without it but its been acting weird lately.

A helpful friend into unknown territory. I would never be doing the amount of hiking and places I’m exploring if it weren’t for AllTrails app and website. Could not imagine a couple years ago all the different places I would see and many within just a couple hours drive which I was unaware of. When hiking alone, best to know exactly where you can park and condition of trails and this does a fantastic job with the amount of pictures and detailed reviews left by the AllTrails community. The recording feature is great to have to help you remember what you saw after doing many trails (upload photos, mark various waypoints, etc). You can even map out a custom map in advance and load it into the recorder so will notify you if you start getting off course. The various stats it displays are a nice encouragement as well in comparing past hikes/months to see how much to further challenge yourself. Absolutely love this app! I can’t imagine how many more people are probably getting out there more often because of AllTrails. Well done!

Progress is Not Lost when Phone Dies :) !!. I was so nervous that my phone battery was about to die and that it would lose all my hike progress. At 5% I was worried because we still had a mile left, I planned not to check my phone until I could plug it in because I was anxious about a data loss. I thought I would be okay but then Mom called me, I panicked and hurriedly chatted with her. End call, 2%. I picked up the pace, finally made it home, rushed up the stairs and found a plug. 1% and charging. I was so happy I wouldn’t have to find out, my data was surely saved as my phone didn’t die. I went to type in my password and as I did, my phone went dark, dead. I panicked and assumed the worst. I stood bedside while I waited for my phone to revive itself, had the data been lost? All that hard work erased? The apple logo appears and as fast as I could I opened the AllTrails application to find the most heavenly sent notification popped up on my screen. “We have paused your progress as you’ve appeared to be disconnected” or something like that. I was so happy and relieved, this is my favorite app !!

Love this app for hiking! Here are some recommendations to improve the app. First off, need to say i love this app and use it as a hiking bible!! Some recommendations I have for the developers: Under reviews, show a user’s reputation score next to their name. It would be helpful to know if the person saying this trail is “soooo hard” is a complete noob to hiking or someone whose been on hundreds of trails, just for a frame of reference. Why have the reputation score if it isn’t displayed next to the usernames in the comments and reviews? Also, while reading about the app it mentions you can upload edits to trails and routes. I can’t figure out how to do this on the app? There are many trails that the All Trails trail takes u into an unsafe area, and I would like to edit that for future users. I’ve noticed the desktop has some features the mobile app doesn’t.... such as making “lists” and creating new trails. Next, in addition to easy medium and hard.... add a safety ranking! Here on Oahu there are easy hikes that are super treacherous and then super hard hikes that are on huge pieces of land with nowhere to fall or get lost. For somewhere like Hawai’i this feature is very necessary. Finally, think there should be a DM (direct message) feature to make the app a bit more social! Or at least link to Instagram. I was sad that Sacred Falls was removed from the app. While it is an illegal hike, those choosing to do it could need it as a lifeline.... better safe than sorry

It has a few good qualities. I like this app, it helps me with planning my hikes. There are a fair amount of accuracy issues though that keep me from considering upgrading to Pro though. First is the fact that there are a fair amount of trails that are well out of date. From what I understand users can suggest edits, but only through the website on a computer. I personally am rarely on my computer so am unable to submit the edits, and I feel this is against good trail management practices because it encourages people to use trails that are closed to prevent erosion and overuse. In addition the trail names on the map are more often than not completely different from official trail names so in the event of an emergency that could cause some issues. My second issue is there is no way that I can find to flag inappropriate comments on a trail review. Saying a trail has been “ ruined by Mexican trash and their families” should be able to be flagged for deletion. Lastly for now, I don’t like how you can pick only one trail when you record. I trail hop frequently and just one trail option isn’t very suitable for me and in the community aspect it isn’t helpful with helping others plan their hikes.

Not happy ending!. I have been using AllTrails for quite a while, let me makes this clear, this was my 5 star app to go with all the time! And still is, BUT! There was an issue popping up on my app, I tried to figure it out myself, didn’t work. Then reached out to the support, they told me there was no issue and everything looked great on their side! (Felt like they were blaming me) so after too many back and forth emails finally we decided to screen record the steps I was taking on the app from beginning to the end (because they thought that was me rather than the app), they finally believed me and accepted there was an issue! Phew! They wanted me to delete the app (actually I was the one who asked them if I should) and they were like: oh yeah! You have not done that yet??? So I did, and dowloaded it again, it temporarily fixed the issue! But deleted some of my saved hikes and folders, and duplicated some others at least 20-30 times, but all empty! Then I thought that was my phone being old and glitchy (iPhone 8 plus, with no technical or any other issues) so I switched to iPhone 13 pro Max! Guess what, that issue still accruing ! Oh and I am a PRO subscriber as well… so now I dont know where to get help from. Apparently AllTrails has only one person who is responding to these kind of issues, and I think we are done!

Easy and EASY. Love this app. So grateful they have so many trails listed and that people contribute comments pretty regularly. Some trails listed on the app are well-marked/defined (in person); others are not. I’ve had to use the app several times to locate the actual trailhead and to stay on trails that had forks in the path. So for trails not super well-defined, if you think you might go out of a cell service area on your phone while hiking, download the hike beforehand, so you have it for the whole hike. (It can be daunting to be mid-hike and have no idea which way to go, if the app stops working.) Also pay attention to the elevation gains shown for each hike on the app and read the comments. They give you a pretty thorough idea of what you’re in for. Keep in mind ‘Easy’ doesn’t necessarily mean the HIKE is easy. (That part depends on your fitness level.) It means the TERRAIN is easy. (Hence the need to pay attention to the elevation on a hike.) Anything with more than 100 feet of elevation gain PER MILE is going to be a LITTLE bit of a workout (from the perspective of a 125 lb., 50+ year-old female in decent shape). But have fun and KEEP ON HIKING!!

Seriously a good and helpful app. For a free app it’s wonderful and if you wanted to purchase it, it’s even more wonderful. I’ve been using the unpaid version for years and it’s been so useful. I’ve had very little problems using this app. Only problem I have, an it’s not necessarily the app’s fault at all, is that sometimes the trails get overgrown with plants and you lose the trail but as long as you follow the line you won’t get lost. The paid version will allow you to download the maps for when you’re in very dead areas without service and it will also bing when your phone when you start to get off trail. I’ve always used the free version and my boyfriend paid for the full version but I’ve never needed the paid one unless I’m going in very large dead areas where I don’t have service from the start of the trail. 🌲🌲🌲 For everyone new to hiking make sure you read about the trail before you go and are well qualified to do that trail. Please stay on trail and please clean up after yourself so others can enjoy it after you. Give the right away to the folks heading up! Thanks 😊

Love the Information, but….. I have used AllTrails a lot over the years. MN North Shore Hiking, South Cali hiking, Hawaii hiking, etc. However, just a couple of days ago, I started looking at my profile and noticed that EVERYTHING was public. All of my lists, my activities, which maps I downloaded, just to name a few. So I figured I would go into settings and change all of that, but that only changes the setting on FUTURE additions. So I had to go back and individually change everything to only show to my connections. Oh, and I also had to then make sure that I approved all my connections. The first test of someone requesting a follow was not good either. No notifications when you are in the app or a simple place to go. I had to dig deep. This would almost be a deal breaker for me (Pro user for years), but I decided to just put as little information in it as possible. Including reviewing and tracking trails. What a bummer. Response to developer: Just checked and the option is not there on my phone.

Never Ending Trails. I love it! I’ve moved to a new town about a year ago and I’ve only ever known my town hiking spots. So to move somewhere new and not know anywhere to go was frustrating! I love bringing my dogs hiking and even better to find spots they can swim or frolick in the water. BUT once I go somewhere I feel accomplished and ready for the next. So to find so many varieties and close by places to hike is amazing! Whatever town I’m in I just look up what’s around. Whenever I’d Google placed to go there was NOTHING. Or very short and disappointing places. This app is great because it will give you direction right in the app instead of trying to Google Maps it yourself. You can map your rout and GPS where you are to ensure you stay on track and don’t get lost. I’m so much more comfortable going alone when I can see where each path leads and about how long it should take me. People also are great at providing pictures and comments of the trails so it is so easy to find. My biggest annoyance is not being able to find the place to begin with! GPS is all good and dandy but sometimes it will just bring you to the location but the location isn’t clarified. So by people uploading their photos let’s you get a visual of what you’re looking for. Overall, the best app!

Get the Details, Hike with Confidence!. This beats a trail book for excellent topo maps. The recent user trail comments are incredibly helpful for understanding current trail conditions. Love the posted photos so you can get an idea of views you will encounter. I love the fact that Printed maps show an elevation guide. Very cool that you can view a trail, and then see “nearby trails” allowing you to quickly assess what’s available in a given area. The reason for 4 stars is that the program needs several improvements 1) the trail creation features are not simple to access and use and can snap onto the wrong segment and can be problematic to close on loop trails for accurate distance measurement. 2) maps only print at specific ratios (not perfectly zoom customizable) so often trail is printed too small or large. I often have to split trail into 2-3 pages to get good detail. 3) the chosen route prints as a continuous red line and covers up the forest service trail numbers... forcing you to hand label printed maps with the #s if you are linking trails etc. Those deficiencies aside, AllTrails is an amazing tool to plan. It’s given me the confidence to discover and hike trails I would have never attempted otherwise. App is nice for downloaded trail map. GPS point can help confirm current location which is reassuring!

So close to perfect!. Considering I only have one negative thing to say about the app as a whole I will put that up front. I wish I could reverse a loop trail!!! Other than that I have been using this app happily for about a year. It has absolutely saved me from unplanned miles on poorly marked trail junctions. It has helped me introduce people to hiking and backpacking. I use it any time I am in a new place and can always find a trail, or a drive worth taking. I use this app on every bike I take, weather that is an hour or a multi-day backpacking trip. It has REPLACED my need for a dedicated GPS device. I don’t recommend it but honestly I don’t carry maps or books either, this has simply replaced them and that means saving weight (I mean always carry your map...lol) I am a pro (paid) member and so long as the app continues to update and add new content I will continue to pay to use it. I don’t really understand people complaining about it not working without cellular coverage! If you are going somewhere without cellular coverage you should be a pro member if for nothing else your own safety!!!! You should have a downloaded map! On top of that your phone can last for days on airplane mode with active GPS. Compare the fee to any GPS device, map books, etc. and you will see you can pay to use this for years before approaching those prices. Thanks AllTrails! For the saved miles and countless hours planning my next trip!

I love this app, but….. I am a very avid hiker. I use this app every single weekend to make 1-3 maps for my weekend trips without fail and this app is crucial and I really do love it so much. Here is my only complaint.. in order to keep my true walking pace (excluding breaks) I will pause my activity . If I forget to “resume activity” then the distance I hike until I realize that I did not press “resume” is essentially lost. I did not teleport 3 miles down the trail.. there HAS to be a way to resolve this . This is a simple human error and I cannot be the only one who is frustrated by this. When that happens, the entire distance tracking is thrown off and there is a large gap on the map as well as miles completed. There needs to be an auto fill that bases your pace on the current time and since the time activity was paused when it notices a gap on the trail. It just needs to be filled in because the gps locates and pinpoints you on the section of the trail that you are on but assumes you did not walk there.. please find a way to solve this.

Free version is good wasn’t impressed with PRO at all. I would give the free version 5 stars but the paid version 2-3. The free version allows me to see the maps I need and the standard trail when I’m within service areas or no signal just fine. I’ve used the free version for over 10-15 long hikes outside of cellphone service areas. I purchased the pro access today before an attempted long hike and it made absolutely no difference when I was in the middle of trying to hike a trail at 11,000 ft altitude snowshoeing through snowed over trails with way over 5 feet of snow. My main objective was accessing the topography maps and weather overlays. I downloaded the maps before hitting the trail, but once I was I was on the trail I didn’t have access to them since there was no signal. I got the same features as I did with the free version so I was somewhat disappointed. The app also constantly resets so you have to bring up the map several times which isn’t ideal if you out hiking trying to make sure you stay on track, while also looking out for wildlife.

Above and beyond. I’ve been using the app for a short amount of time and I love it! Trying to google hiking trails only brings up 2 or 3 around my city that are usually overcrowded and not that great, but this app has over 100 listed in my little town. It has everything that I could ask for and more—filters to search certain trails (bike route, allows dogs, waterfall/rivers, etc), difficulty ratings, weather forecast, reviews, photos, trail length, personal stats, and more. Some of these trails are in the middle of nowhere and you can pull up directions to drive to the start. It tracks your time, elevation gain, miles, and your route. You can save your favorite trails, and the ones that you have completed will show up on your profile. I haven’t been hiking a whole lot in the past, but now I have been going several times a week and I still have a lot of trails saved that I want to try! It’s like a social media app for hikers. If you like to hike (or if you think you want to start), I would recommend downloading this app. It exceeds my expectations and I have never been so motivated to go out and explore!

Crashing on Course. Hello! Pro member here and have some concerns. The app keeps crashing while I’m in the middle of 20-30 mile hikes. This is dangerous when you rely on AllTrails to alert you when you’re off course and have a lifeline feature engaged so your husband can track your progress from work! I am also frustrated because when it crashes, it also leaves me with gaps in my recordings till I figure out that it’s not working. I prefer to be enjoying the surroundings and not constantly checking if the app is recording and connected. I have been a Pro member over a year and have had no major issues till recently. Just sent an email to AllTrails about this concern. Thought maybe leaving a review would get a quicker response. A few notes to eliminate user error when the crashes occur - My phone battery has plenty of charge. No other apps are open on my phone. It literally has an error message that something went wrong. AllTrails please help! Please fix! Also, I’m discovering that some of the maps underestimate mileage up to a few miles. Have been planning on those underestimates because they’re unreliable when planning how much daylight a hike may require and the quantity of supplies to bring.

Great app with one major flaw. I’ve been using AllTrails for a couple months now and I love it. It is a 5 star app by far, yet that is not my rating for it. There are a few quirks I have with the UI, but they are not worth mentioning as they are minor and do not effect the app use whatsoever. My only real issue, which caused my 4 star rating (which killed me to do so), is the fact that you CANNOT LAUNCH THE APP WITHOUT A CELLULAR OR WIFI CONNECTION!! It is ridiculous, plain and simple. I am a Pro subscriber to AllTrails. I did this solely so I could download trail maps prior to going in case I lost service on the trail. That feature works beautifully. But let’s say you download your map, head out to your trail, arrive and go to open app to use the map that is already saved on your phone. Guess what?? Unless you have service, you can’t open the app! So it’s essentially useless. The last thing I want to do is have to add “open AllTrails prior to leaving home” to my to do list to get ready. AllTrails, lets be real for a minute. Hiking, biking, exploring, etc. are all off the grid things! Chances are you won’t have service if you are in a remote location. Fix this issue!! Make an offline version of your app so that paid users who have already downloaded maps can actually use them! With that said, this is an amazing app that is worthy of 5 stars. It is just failing miserably in one particular area that is critical to its use.

Frustrating. When you finish a hike there is no "finish" or "end" button available, so the app keeps recording forever wherever you go. The "finish" button is hidden, and it takes a number of trials and errors to find it. Once you've succeeded in finally "ending" your hike, the app tries to make you rate your hike and there is no way out of the process of rating a hike, which includes going through several screens etc etc etc. Suppose you don't want to rate your hike? Maybe you did the same hike yesterday and you already rated it? Or maybe you don't want to share your ratings, and you can well remember the hike without rating it? Well, the app doesn't give you that option. Even if you leave the app, when you go back, all you can get is the "rate" screen. The only way out of rating a hike is by quitting the app somehow and then restarting. I think developers deliberately make their app interface non-intuitive so users are forced to spend all their time figuring out how to use the app. I guess programmers think that this frustrating process will "hook" me on their app. Guess what? I want the app to serve me. I'm not here to serve the app. If the app won't let me control it with a normal interface, then I'll delete the app and find another, or do without.

A Love-Hate Relationship with All Trails. In the realm of outdoor exploration, All Trails stands out as a beacon of convenience and functionality. It is an app that has become an indispensable part of my adventures, helping me navigate the hidden troves of nature's beauty with its comprehensive collection of trails and routes. However, there's an issue that taints my otherwise pleasant experience - an issue not unique to All Trails, but pervasive across various apps - the unnecessarily convoluted cancellation process for their subscription service. It's an aspect that feels akin to a roach motel strategy, easy to enter but hard to exit. This practice is not just frustrating, but also undercuts the trust between the app and its users. In conclusion, while my love for All Trails and its services remain undiminished, I strongly feel that the ease of subscription cancellation should match the ease of subscription itself. Improvements in this area would not just benefit the user experience but also enhance the app's credibility and reputation. After all, a truly user-centric service considers all aspects of the user's journey, from start to end.

Incredibly useful feature removed :/. There are a lot of great things I love about AllTrails, but over a year ago, they they removed the incredibly useful and logical (and in my case, most used) feature that allows customers to rearrange the order of trails within our saved lists. But the way it is now, if you have a list of 5-10 trails and you want to build or adjust a trip/trail itinerary based on current conditions, you cannot move a trail from the middle of the list to the top of the list. It truly makes no sense as to why this incredibly useful functionality was ever removed from the app. Please bring this back as soon as possible! It’s not even a feature request as it already existed perfectly within the app for several years before confusingly being removed. Imagine if you made a playlist of your favorite songs and you could literally never change the order of them ever again after they’re put on the list. Very frustrating. Updated response to developer: while I agree those search and filter functions can certainly be useful, it is still equally as useful to have the ability to have manual, individual control over specific list order (again, especially when designing a trip/trail itinerary based around current fluctuating weather conditions). Seems like having all of the options available would be the most beneficial to all customers, not just one function or the other.

Paid version worth it🖤. I absolutely love this app. It really does show you trails that you cannot find online. Sometimes the map is a little bit off where you need to park but other than that it’s absolutely amazing. If you get the paid version it’s even better. It will track you where you are and it’ll send an alert to whoever is on your list of contacts that you approved to show where you are and if you take too long it will give that person alert and where you are. I really like this feature because sometimes you never know what will happen and it could save your life. On the paid version it even let you download the map so even if your phone goes out of service you can still follow yourself and make sure you’re on the path. If you are reading this and you are the creator of this app I have a suggestion maybe put in an area where people can put if there’s a bathroom or not at the beginning and if it’s a porta potty or regular bathroom. Some people are nervous right before they go hiking and it’s always nice to know. But other than that your app is absolutely amazing and I do suggest it to everyone that hikes near me

If I could give negative stars I would.. Edit: so it eventually worked its bugs out about 2/3 of the way into my hike. I changed my rating to 4 stars because the maps and the lifeline are valuable but only if they work consistently! OP: So I am trying to use the app that I paid (I think) $40 for (for a one year subscription) that I’ve had about a month. After the “update” it won’t load up. Tried to contact CS but you have to apparently open the app for that. How stupid is that? Aren’t software engineers supposed to be building these things? Intelligent men and women whose job is to think these things through? Thank GOD they’re not building bridges or we’d all die. Next I uninstalled and reinstalled it and NOW it will load the app but will not allow me to sign in. Great update, Alltrails. Superb job. 🙄 So now I’ve wasted an hour plus trying to fix this, with absolutely no luck, and will go hike—with no way for my movements to be tracked by my loved ones as I hike alone—in the now sweltering Southern Summer heat and humidity. Thanks so much. Worst $40 I ever spent and I promise you this—the last $40 of my money you’ll ever see.

Get app with eye to future. I have used this app for a couple of years now with the pro version. In the beginning it might have had issues but I think they are tied to performance issues of the phone and the network and satellite hardware. I have been to many trails and it has worked great. This new lifeline feature is going to be great especially for my wife since I usually hike alone. It has helped me get back on the trail in areas where the trail is poorly marked or no real markings at all like out in West Texas. I took a turn off a trail ( not on purpose) thinking that was the trail. It was the most dangerous turn possible. I finally sat down and pulled out my phone and looked at my all trails plot. I was way off but too dangerous to back track. So I plotted a way across the steep mountain side to reconnect to the actual trail. On thing that would be nice is if would tell me when I have diverged from the trail with a voice warning kinda like google maps or tell me I’m at an intersection and take the left turn again via a voice notification.

My go to app for outdoor adventures. I’ve had all trails pro for over a year and planned several hikes on it and tracked them. I have not found any other app with as many trails or as complete. I absolutely love the ability to download various maps prior to my trips because they are usually in areas without cell service. No where else has all the types in one place or as easy to find. The tracking on the downloaded maps has saved me and my son’s Boy Scout troop miles in areas where it gets more difficult to stay on trail. In addition to hiking (day and multi day) I like to take my truck out on trails and the reviews here have been great on helping to decide where to go .....and not. All that great stuff said there are a couple things I’d like to see. First would be the ability to plan hikes on my IPad or phone. On the same vein the ability to see and update my account on iPad and phone. The biggest things I would like to see is the location of springs/ water sources with icons maybe 2 icons 1 for drinkable and one for filtering and maybe something to indicate if it’s conditions depending or always there. Also an icon for camp site locations. These would make planning longer multi day hikes easier.

This app saved us!. One beautiful January day, my sister, our friend, and I decided to go hike the redwoods in Santa Cruz (Henry Cowell redwoods). We were out for a while, maybe 8 miles at this point and decided to turn around to head back to the car before it got dark. My dear sister thought it would be a good idea to use a paper map, which ended up getting us turned around multiple times. We literally were walking back and forth for an hour or so. All of our phones were about to die and the sun had set. Finally I decided to pull this app out because I knew I could see the trails and track us back to the car but also knew I had only 10% left and it wouldn’t last us the whole time. What I didn’t know was that I could use the GPS feature with my phone on airplane mode. With 5% battery and 10 miles of hiking behind us we finally returned to the car. It was so dark when we took a picture you could barley see our faces! Thank you All Trails, you are my favorite hiking app ever!!!

Maps on watch need improvements. The AllTrails iPhone all is pretty much a 5-star app. My biggest gripe is probably the long load times to lunch the app. I have the latest version which was supposed to improve app launch times but instead I’m seeing some of the slowest launches to date. Today I paused a recording to take some photos and when I came back to the app it took nearly 30 seconds on an iPhone 11 Pro Max. Considering the app was open and running 10 seconds earlier, with a recording paused, I would have expected the app to launch instantaneously. Please fix this, especially when re-launching a paused recording. But my ultimate 3 star review is for the watch app. I love that I can finally see the map on my wrist without having to pull out my phone, but then to shrink the map so small with superfluous information below it, makes the map nearly useless. The watch screen is so small as it is, so having the map shrink to a small square means I can barely see any detail in what’s coming up in the trail. I like that I can select what information is displayed below the map, but I want a “none” option so I can see the map as large as possible! Otherwise I love the app - mostly because it has a bazillion high quality maps and I can easily search and find a trail to hike!

MUST HAVE APP!. I absolutely LOVE this app!! I hike alone 90% of the time and I love this for finding new trails, staying in trail and keeping someone in the know of my whereabouts. I love the pictures, reviews and recordings submitted by real people so I can understand whether it’s something I think I could handle or not. The only downsides I’ve come across so far are 1) when you’re flipping through submitted photos, you can tap in the white area near the persons name who submitted it in order to see how long ago it was (ie a month, week, year etc) BUT! Be careful!! I’ve accidentally hit “suggest hide” on a couple photos and you can’t undo that!!!! Super frustrating!!! I’m not trying to flag or hide anyone’s photos! I just wanna know when it was taken. I’m sorry people! 2) when you’re looking for trails in your area using the map, you have to zoom in/out to the perfect spot for the trail markers to pop up. They disappear really easily if you zoom in or out too much in the slightest or if you move the map position even a tiny bit. I feel like those are both easy fixes. I recommend any outdoorsy people download the app. It’s fun to pick hikes for each other when you live states away and then chat about them after you’ve completed them! I love this app!

Love the features. Old UI was iffy. New UI is bad.. I am a generally happy all rails pro subscriber - it’s made my COVID-inspired outdoorsiness possible! But the new UI is ...oh, not good. I loved the simple Record button. Now when I manage to find the button through Navigate (which is not the right word! I’m not navigating, just starting to walk from wherever I am and want the app to capture it), and press Pause, doesn’t leave it paused. .The old version often stopped my recording when I only wanted to pause - and I couldn’t get back in and tell it Nope, so I would end up with two hikes split up because I couldn’t opt to continue where I left off. But,the new design is worse, because not only is it completely unintuitive to even find the button to start a recording, now if you don’t press and *hold* to stop/save, and simply hit pause (perhaps because you don’t care if you save the recording), it just seems to keep recording. So I wound up with a ~80mi hike the other day because it captured my entire drive for the day after I had thought I stopped the recording, and the walk itself was maybe half a mile. So now I had to delete the entire hike, which is not a huge deal but now my iPhone health app thinks I was some kind of superwoman for a single day and will forever compare me to it, unfavorably. I love this app. But please get some more experienced ux folks to review these designs.

Useful but not great. Overall Review: I have been using this app for 7 years so can speak on a lot of the features that have come and gone. AllTrails is great for finding and researching trails. But keep in mind that its data is crowdsourced. Alltrails just uses tracks from other app users which is not reliable for navigation. I recommend using Gaia or any GPS app in tandem. Also, if you are going to navigate with Alltrails, DOWNLOAD MAPS for offline use. It is possible in the free version. You should not expect to have reliable internet in the outdoors. Most recent gripe: 1. Tracking (now “navigating”) has gone very downhill. Twice this year I had the app only track 3 miles out of a 10 mile hike. Because of this I no longer rely on Alltrails for tracking either, I also use Gaia and my Apple Watch. 2. What happened to the activity search? I really like to look back at my previous tracks (of which goes back years) but I find this feature suddenly missing. Why? Some Requests for developers: 1. Please bring back manual order in lists. It’s kind of a key feature. 2. Please add dates to the older reviews. Some people might want to read trail conditions from previous seasons to research and plan for the best time to visit that trail in the future (snow melt, seasonal road closures, etc). It would make that easier if the reviews had dates instead of saying “blank months ago”.

Love the app minus the crashing. Update: since uninstalling and reinstalling the app things are working beautifully again. And I have to mention Carolyn (who works in support for AllTrails) was fantastic at helping me!! She restored my faith in AllTrails 🙌🏽. So note for those having crashing issues, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Just remember your password and the email you used when creating😅. I love this app, don’t get me wrong but lately it’s been crashing, sometimes 2-3 times a hike. I track my distance and calories etc so when you miss two miles because it decided to pause... gets really frustrating. Today it wouldn’t stay recording so I ended up restarting my phone and keeping the app opened (plugged into my battery back up) for about two and a half miles just to make sure it wasn’t conking out. Then I kept checking every 10 minutes like a lunatic to make sure it hadn’t stopped recording. Stayed on the entire time then but geesh. Hoping this can be fixed.

Fatal Errors. No matter what you think of it, don’t use it without a backup! I’ve been a paying user since 2019. The app was always very slow and buggy, but in the absence of an alternative I continued using it. There were all sorts of UX issues in an impressive variety, new ones rolled out with every new version. As of late it developed a couple of fatal issues. First, some of the recordings are vanishing showing an “activity” just of seconds instead of hours. Secondly, when you navigate to a trailhead using the “navigate” button, the coordinates are copied onto Google Maps with errors and Google Maps then sends you an hour away from an actual trailhead. This issue is particularly acute in the mountains. So yesterday, for example, I lost approximately 40 minutes on rerouting and then my hiking activity wasn’t recorded at all. Needless to say, you can’t add an activity later, at least in the phone app. P.S. Since I first wrote this review the app has crashed more than once without showing a downloaded route. Luckily I was standing on the trail, otherwise it would be dangerous.

Navigation (recording) Crashes. Been a loyal user for many years and recently upgraded to pro. There’s a lot to like about this app, albeit a little confusing at times. However, one thing that absolutely must be fixed, is the recently introduced app crash while navigating (or recording your route). Just spent three days/2 nights out on trail and the navigation crashed every bit of 4 times each day. We missed miles upon miles of recording because it would crash while in my pocket. Read a few other reviews where customer support told them to fix by making sure All Trails was the only thing running on their phone. I’m here to say I tried this and it continued to crash (also, that it’s a bit ridiculous that this be the explanation, considering Google maps and Waze can handle constant navigation for prolonged periods with multiple other apps open). It’s a huge miss if your trail navigation app can’t reliably navigate you on the trail. Also, the watch app is utterly useless and has never been reliable. Although, this is merely a nice-to-have, not a need.

OK But Sketchy. I took AllTrails up on their offer for a free week-long trial with the option to “cancel at anytime.” After perusing the app I was disappointed to find that - unless I am missing something - it does not display shelters or springs along the Appalachian Trail, nor does it provide info about cell service. These are the two most important things to a through/section hiker in my opinion. Now, if the motive was to keep the day-hiker from “clogging up” the shelters and robbing over-nighters of shelter space then I can kinda understand. However day hikers are gonna see the signs for the shelter one way or another. Now for the thing that really turned me off: “Cancel at Anytime” translates to “Bend Over Backwards to Cancel and Good Luck.” I am fairly computer-savvy, but it took me nearly 30 minutes and multiple help searches to figure this out. The instructions they provide are incorrect, had to do a google search to figure out that I have to go into my phone settings to turn off “don’t renew,” otherwise they would proceed to bill me for the year. This was super sketchy to me and one of my pet-peeves - an App will immediately lose my trust if they are crooked in this way. I feel like they could have EASILY put a “cancel subscription” button on the home page of the app instead of using cryptic language and leading you down a rabbit hole. Do better guys.

has so much potential within easy reach. I used to love this app and have given subscriptions as gifts but these days I am constantly frustrated with certain aspects of the interface, foremost that all trails has taken away the ability to order trails in lists manually (there is no longer a way to order trails by difficulty, priority/desire to do, length, or anything else practical - only alphabetical order or date added - both of which I find useless). I also don’t understand why they don’t add some space for users to make notes on hikes (like “do counterclockwise for easier descent” etc), why user reviews from various hikes take up most of the screen space when saved lists are viewed from the desktop site (how is that in any way helpful??), etc. etc. I don’t even know what the developers’ goals are anymore but certainly usability / user satisfaction does not rank very high. Rather than improving this app sadly actually becomes less and less useful with each update/iteration, and it almost seems intentional - like they invested in the app at one time but now are trying to pull back and provide less for the same amount of $. I wish there was an alternative app that provided similar info.

Will be looking for another app.... Overall the app is great! Easy to use, helpful to find new trails, pretty great tracking and mapping. The only complaint I have, and it is a deal breaker for me, the save and clear buttons are right next to the record button. When you pause, and then go to start again there is a chance you’ll end your current ride, walk, etc. Terrible placement for those. It is common we will ride, and at some point pause for water, session, snack, and then the save button is accidentally hit or even sweat falling on the phone has cleared a current ride. It’s insanely frustrating when you want the recorded 10-15 mile path for reference or whatever and it is cleared from accidentally hitting save. I feel like that is a really terrible issue to even have to worry about. Even having a “You sure?” after selecting save would be great; then you could back out of it. Started looking into other apps to use and found I really enjoy Strava. Great community with that app. I recommend checking it out and using it. The clear button does have a “You sure?”, but save doesn’t. I like that someone reached out to me about the issue, and again, the app is great overall. Although I responded, there was never a response from them.

The new version is terrible!. What is going on with the new version of the app? I’ve been using the Pro version of this app for over 6 years and it seems to me that you keep switching features around catering more to a social media look, which is fine. But I am not sure where you get the user experience input because I can tell you that it’s not us, the long time users. I rely heavily on my history to find previously used tracks I built and hiked. Last year you put the historical activity on a different tab, harder to locate. Fine, I guess, more cumbersome but I have adjusted. With the version released a couple of weeks ago, you made it even more cumbersome to get to, not intuitive at all, it’s now under profile! To make matters even worse, you didn’t add a search feature on the activity history on the app!!! I had to read the FAQ’s and community comments (read complaints) to find out it’s only available on the computer. This is unacceptable. Especially after you increased the price of the subscription this year. Please fix the app and add the history back. To make it better, put the history back on a more intuitive and less cumbersome to find location. I’m really considering switching to another app if this is not something you will fix soon.

Amazing trail results and information.. First off, if developers are reading this… I see great potential in All Trails taking advantage of live activities! Just saying. Now back to the review. First off I should mention that I’ve tried a lot of hiking apps and this one is by far my favorite. It renders trails in the maps that never show up on other apps so that was a big plus. The information it gives on these trails is jam packed, and with an amazing community, you can see what real people have to say about the trail you’re thinking about hiking. After I hike a trail, I make sure I write a review and give as much personal information about it that I’d want the next hikers to know. I’m not the only one either, I don’t hike a trail without looking it up on this app and seeing what others think about it. Aside from others input on trails, this app has everything else you need to know about a hike… waypoints (very important so you don’t get lost), expected weather, elevation gain, and something I thought was very helpful… a ‘Getting There’ tab. Sometimes finding a trail is difficult but this tab makes it simple and stress free.

Poor customer service. First, I give all trails 2 stars instead of 1 star because the app itself is a very good app for locating trails and specific activities you can do on the trail like camping, biking, trail running, and whether or not you can take dogs along with you. It is useful information for planning purposes and understanding what is accessible around you that you just may not know. The pro status is greatly enticing as you are able to download maps and other features to utilize offline however I have no idea because I was unable to use it. This is where my negative review is derived from. I purchased the 3 year pro status however it did not upgrade my account. Not a big deal because customer service should be able to upgrade it on their end right? Wrong. They charged my account and proceeded to give me the run around never solving the issue. I did my due diligence and provided proof of receipt which displays the email in question but no dice. I had to result to disputing the charge and writing this review instead. The free app is great but just know that if you upgrade to pro status you might be rolling the dice and not receiving what you paid for.

Long time user. I love this app and have been using it for years now. It is by far the best GPS tracking app I can find. The maps are detailed and accurate and the descriptions and directions are excellent. Over the years some great upgrades have been made, some of my favorites include being able to download tracks for offline use, marking distance and elevation along a specific track, and being able to create a map by selecting certain trails. There are still some frustrating faults with this app, however. For example, in order to record and keep a GPS recording a track a hike has to be part of an existing trail which can get annoying when I do infrequent or bushwhacking hikes. Having an option to keep tracks privately would be very helpful. One upgrade I would love to see is the ability to edit or add to a track after I finish. Many times in the past I have forgotten to end a track and drove away, the result was an inaccurate GPS track. Also as the app currently is I can’t track multi-day trips, I can pause a track when I stop for lunch, but if I stop for the night my progress disappears. I would like to be able to add to a completed or paused track to be able to record multiple day trips.

Great app let down by Apple Watch interface. This app ticks almost all the boxes for me. I've tried a number of other similar apps and this has the best feature set v price except for one major flaw - a poor Apple Watch interface. Specifically you CANNOT start a recording from the watch unless you have first gone to your phone, opened the app there and have the app in the foreground on your phone. Only then does tapping "start recording" on the watch work. At that point you could have just done the same on the phone! This is a major drawback. Other apps don't require this (eg Gaia, View Ranger, Footpath, Trails) and it's a deal breaker for me 😟

A Hikers dream. All trails is such a great app for all levels of hiking. I love that you can see the grades of the hikes as well as comments made by other hikers. Being able to get real time information from those who have walked the track before you is so useful. I don’t use any other app.

Love it this far. I’m hoping it tracks you well when you don’t have net but I’m not sure it has that feature yet. However, this is almost to good for finding hikes I worry a little that most hikes will have to many people going there now but I guess this is the future of hiking these days anyways. People gonna be out there with the knowledge of the net and not just go and find it by driving and reading paper maps and talking with locals lol

Love it but one request please. This is a great app, I’ve been a paid user for years. It’s reliable and very user friendly. But it lacks one thing and that’s an elevation correction to the planar surface so that the calculated distance is more accurate to documented trail lengths. This is especially important for very mountainous trails with large elevation ups and downs. And an easier addition - optionally don’t prompt to save a photo. Combine adding a caption to the cancel screen so only one tap is ever required please. When taking lots of photos this is quite annoying. Thanks for a great app!

I’ve only just downloaded. I downloaded the app before I read the old reviews saying there is no information for Australia. I was thinking of deleting it but decided to do a few searches first. There are quite a few walks documented for Australia, some of which I have done already and which I agree with the info provided which is quite good. However, some of the smaller walks I have done in the past are missing. Next time I do them I’ll add the details. I look forward to trying out all the features and will update my review in the future.

Love all the extra trails I’ve found. I love that this app helps to take the guesswork out of expanding the well worn, better known tracks, onto bigger and at times better adventures. It’s ease of use is great and if I had any issue it’s the amount of battery that it churns through. So to get the most out of an extended hike have a backup for your battery, it’s well worth the effort.

Very slow to act on Aussie trail suggestions. There’s lots of love about All Trails. We’ve been using the Pro version for a couple of years and have found the topographic maps accurate and the trail markings similar. The off line map function is excellent. However, they seem reluctant to the point of moribund when it comes to adding trail suggestions for Australian users. I’ve only ever had ones put up after multiple emails and currently have suggested trails in urban areas that would be easily validated using publicly available information still unpublished after 9 months. A bit surprising for an app relying on crowdsourcing to let their users know about walks.

Lifesaver!. I am in an area of outstanding beauty in the UK with trials to enjoy everywhere you look, but also the possibility to get very lost. I have used Alltrials 3 times up till now (and still learning how to fully use it!) and found that it not only outlines the routes I can take, (not sure if all of them, but so far the 3 that have appeared have been very good), but also makes sure that I stay on the trial chosen while I’m walking which is mega helpful. Thank you Alltrials!

Awesome but. The app is awesome. I love the function of importing photos to the trail file after a long walk. So u don’t have to use the app to record photos. But, the ability of tracking gps trail is not as good as Cyclemeter . While Cyclemeter is following smoothly of the curve, when gps signal was not good, the app may lost it way, showing a straight line till next good gps signal point. The app works great with Apple Watch ultra, even both iPhone and watch are in battery saving mode. But, the connection between the watch and the phone might be lost. The app on the phone will not show and follow ur current location. To get this bug fixed, restart your phone and run the app again. I love this app, it helps me recorded 15 mountain trails in HongKong so far. Another 75 to go.

Off track!. I’ve only used this app twice now but being told it was one of the better apps for hiking I thought it would be great. Two hikes where the map takes you off track and by this I mean there is no physical trail to follow on the ground. With both hikes I’ve had to back track quite a way as going forward and following the All Trails map was thwart with danger, especially in the Australian bush. The rest of the app is great no complaints. Not sure how these trails are created or checked to see if they are true and correct because when checking against National Parks maps they are not accurate at all.

Great app, we use it all the time. We’ve used this app in Australia and Canada and love it. It’s easy to get inspired to go on walks by searching through, you can tag favourites if you want to come back to them later, and the downloadable maps are great with lots of layer options. The tracking function works whether you’re in mobile reception or a black spot - I usually run two trackers in parallel so others have validated the accuracy of this one. People have contributed really helpful comments and photos on many of the walks which is great. The difficulty ratings, lengths and accessibility info seem pretty accurate to me, and my personal favourite is that it’s easy to pick whether it’s an out-and-back, point-to-point or loop track.

Please change the stats back to how they used to look. I love this app and have found it extremely useful for finding new trails and for the downloadable maps. I also love it for keeping track of the stats, but please change the format of the stats back to how they used to look. With the new update, it looks extremely convoluting and a bit of a mess

Dissapointment with maps!. After watching all the reviews on this app and using the free version for several years, I decided to upgrade to the pro version! My main reason was to download the maps to print as it was stated by AllTrails “why pay for expensive paper maps when you can print exactly what you want”! Sure, but don’t count on the quality of these maps, the resolution is terrible and sometimes illegible!

AllTrails. Basically great program, suggesting excellent walks, from my prospective a must have app particularly in Australia. I do find that it is missing some trails, particularly in Tasmania, so the maps could do with some improvement. Also the menu to download the trail into a Garman device could be made more intuitive, eg I am more successful using Komoot to download trails into the device than AllTrails.

Just hopeless. Downloaded it. Tried to open a map. Got the following message: “Unavailable offline. Please check your internet connection”. Checked it. Got same message again and then again. Of course I have an internet connection. Four bars. I downloaded the app after all. My internet connection is as good as it is ever going to get. Tried to open a map again. Got the following message; “Oops. Something went wrong. Tap to try again.” Glad I found out how useless the app is before using it out in the bush. Maybe it works in other countries, but if you’re trying to use it in Australia don’t waste your time.

Pencil Pine Track. Along with other reviewers, recommended is to walk clockwise & fair weather is also advised. As we discovered, some parts of the track, particularly the middle section, become small rivulets after snow & rain. The traverse along the river is pretty exposed in places so be aware. What would Cradle be without a wombat sighting! There’s sweeping views of the Speeler Plain to the Vale of Belvoir from the high ground. A good workout.

Great for trail finding, needs work. Have been using it and a paid subscriber for a while now. Worth being able to find, save and contribute. Annoying feature is the saving to list. If you have it saved and I wanted to view which list from the trail itself it shows your list and forces you to either select another list of toggle it off. This view should be dismissible with a cancel button. Annoying big time as you manage your lists.

Great app but frustrating at times.. I’ve used this app for the last 2 years, on short hikes and multi day hikes all over the east coast of Australia and a bit of Patagonia. I couldn’t fault the maps they seem to always be up to date and have not failed me yet. It’s the best app for hiking that I know of so I’d recommend it for sure. While the offline tracking mode is accurate and consistent it consumes far too much battery for a multi day hike. Which isn’t a big problem you just don’t track the hike and use the map freely. Only it doesn’t really work that well with out the tracking function. Every time I boot the app to check my location, it shoots me way out of my direct spot to the overview of the entire walk or in some cases the entire country. And I have to then manually zoom in to relocate my position. It’s a relatively small issue but it’s pretty annoying after a couple of years of consistence use. Honestly I’d rather not use the tracking function but like a digital map but it seems to prioritise an athlete tracking performance rather than someone hiking for leisure. Also you’re forced to rate hikes after completion. I don’t wanna rate hikes, rating hikes is almost as lame as ratings apps. So I have to force quit the app to circumvent it. Apart from that it’s great app and I’ll update my review to 5 stars if they ever fix it.

Excellent. This app is so good it competes with handheld GPS in locations with GPS service. I do volunteer field surveying and a feature that’d really make this app complete is the ability to drop waypoints and save libraries of specific GPS locations. This is handy for people planning new routes, marking the nearest safe places on a solo hikes, storing location data on where specific flora or fauna were located in national parks etc.

Latest updates create app instability and failures. App keeps crashing and has failed me with offline navigation/ maps as they keep dropping out and I then can’t reload them without internet access in remote areas … I have subscribed to Pro. This app is sadly unreliable for any navigation in recent months as I’ve been a long term subscriber and the functionality has been fabulous.

Makes you want to get out on trail. Great app for researching trails to hike or bike. Maps, photos, notes, reviews and ratings all help to ensure you find exactly what you’re looking for before you leave home. Particularly useful if you’re wanting to discover trails in an unfamiliar location by providing info on terrain, elevation and indicative time. The tracking function even alerts you when you wander off the designated trail.

Great app, but. I love this app - we used it a lot while camping in NSW. A big negative I find is that you can only buy a subscription for a year. I’d love to pay for just a month whilst we are on holidays, as we don’t really use it for the rest of the year. Now I have set up a new account to get another week for free, whilst I would have happily paid $5 or $10 for just a month’s use, but $30 for a year is a bit too much considering the use we get out of it. Would be great if you could change this!

A recent convert. I have just discovered the full benefits of AllTrails. I am currently hiking in the European Alps. Yesterday my local companions were using a Swiss hiking app and promoting its benefits. However I was able to show them the trail alternatives (and there were many) with much greater accuracy using AllTrails. They were impressed!! and we saved a lot of unnecessary steps in reaching our destination.

Amazing. This app is legit awesome, it’s actually an app that is worth the money for the pro version. I’m not big on spending money on apps let alone $30 but this is one thing i would recommend to others. It tells you the closest ones trails, different types of trails such as dog friendly, waterfall, top rated tracks. It even has everyone’s reviews of the trails and also let’s people upload photos from their walk. Also different difficulty levels, easy, moderate and hard. It tells you an estimated amount of time it will take you and how far it is. You can even connect the app to your Apple Watch so you can record your walk and once you’re finished it automatically sets it as a “completed” trail. Incredible app and really well done.

Good app with major let downs. The basics are excellent but some fundamentals make me regret upgrading to pro. 1. Apple Watch app is a useless marketing gimmick. It only works while you have the phone app open 🤷‍♂️ 2. You can’t select trails from the map view. You can see them right there but you can’t select them. How are you meant to find them from the list? They are not labelled 3. You cannot change trails once you have started recording a walk. Things change; the weather, the trail, my mind, but this app is too rigid for real life. I think they need a planned feature list to help out based on what I have read in the reviews so far, this is the only outlet users have. Update: support reached out and said to log it with them, still works the same, you have to click on pins to see which tracks on the maps are part of an official trail. This makes looking for trails via the map clunky and difficult. Support were no help and no new features seem to be on the way. I have dropped my rating to 1 star because they wasted my time

Discovers trails very well but has issues. The Apple Watch app is good for nothing. Each time I glanced at the watch, the app had lost focus. It still records, but having to reselect the app each time I want to glance the map, defeats the purpose of having it. There’s also a problem capturing activity. If I allow the fitness app to record activity as a workout, the AllTrails app shuts down, so the map is lost. If I don’t allow the fitness app to record activity, no record of the activity is kept. The AllTrails app needs to link with the health app.

Love this app. My family and I love hiking and we love exploring new places and this app makes it so easy to do that. So many trails I didn’t know existed. The ranking system and information for each trail is fantastic and the ability to see others opinions and ratings on each trail is absolutely amazing. The fact you can download maps too makes it great for those trails that may have minimal signage. I have used this app so many times and just love it.

Was amazing, now I almost got lost. I've used Alltrails many times in the past, and it's one of my favorite apps on my phone. I use it for trail running in Australia, and alltrails has lots of facilities for that. Today I took it with me as I always do, but the route was a bit unclear, and I needed alltrails a bit more to find my way. When I was at the furthest point, well out of range of any gsm location, alltrails decided to give up. In the past, it was possible to see at least the route you're doing, which I was depending on in some situations. Now there's been an update, and instead of showing me the map, there's now a text saying : there's no internet, for pro members, check your downloads. That's absolutely terrible to change the app like this. An app which I used to depend on now spit me in the face when I needed it the most. I've been recommending this app to most of my hiking friends in the past, but I can no longer do that now. I'm very disappointed in this new "feature", and I hate that after 2 years of happily using this app, it's no longer reliable. Tldr; alltrails gave up on me when I needed it the most, and this can happen to you too. Be warned.

Great product, but disappointing app on iPad.. AllTrails is a great product and I love using AllTrails+ to create custom routes and plan walks, but the app is a major disappointment on an iPad. It is an upscaled iPhone app, and does not have a capability to create or edit a map in the app. The workaround used to be to use the website via Safari, but recent changes to the map engine mean this is no longer compatible with this browser it seems. This leaves no way of editing a map on iPad. To the developers, please consider creating a full featured iPad version of the app, that allows map editing.

Confused. I used the app for the first time hiking in Alsace. When I found a trail to follow it worked fine except for one occasion when we got a bit lost and it showed our location probably 1 or 2 km from where we actually where. After about 10 -15 mins it corrected itself and showed the correct location. I also was not able to work out whether you can nominate a starting and finishing location and for the app to show you available tracks, which for me was an important feature that made me not to subscribe.

Extremely slow. Caveat: my review relates to the free version only I have downloaded this app a couple of times over the course of a year, only to delete it off my phone again in frustration almost immediately. Maps are extremely slow to load, even slower to re-load once you try to zoom in. This may be better in the pro- version, and I am perfectly willing to pay a subscription fee for the full version of an app that I like. However, the free version being so rubbish does not exactly inspire me to pay just to find out if the pro version is any better. Also, the database of Australian trails may be growing, but is still extremely limited, and in some cases just plain wrong. The map shows trails that, judging by the amount and size of vegetation on growing on them, have not been trails for >10 years.

A great aid for bush walking. As long as you always remember, that using All Trails is only useful whilst your phone is functioning, then your good to go. My advice would be to always take a battery reserve. I learnt that the first time I used it. I also learnt that the “Navigate” feature, which drains your battery, is mostly not necessary. You can always see your location, compared to the highlighted route that you’ve downloaded in advance, and use offline. You won’t get alerts if your off course, but If in doubt, check the route before straying too far off course. Just use common sense. If I was to do a multi day remote walk, with no signage, I’d want a map and compass as well. Despite these pre conditions, I love using this App. I think it’s value for money, and a great tool. If nothing else, it’s good to have reassurance that your still on route…. and if not, ( and that happens occasionaly to me, cause I chose not to use “Navigate”) it’s easy to use the map to re find the correct course.

Review of App. Uncertain how to place photos up or add extra tracks at locations some have shown .i know locally some locations I have seen review haven't been fully covered with all tracks and some photos shown by others could have been better examples of these beautiful locations with my local knowledge of them .

Great app. This is a really great app if you like bush walking, hiking, mountain biking etc. the filters are good and allow you to customise your search to location, difficulty and distance. It also shows total elevation and map elevation so you are very clear about each trail. The only things I don’t like is it does not integrate with google maps so finding the start of some trails can be difficult

Wouldn’t hike without All Trails. This app has become my map, my safety plan and my memory tool for all things hiking. I love the offline map feature and the ability to plan ahead when travelling by finding some trails near where I’m going and downloading them in readiness. The navigation feature capturing my actual path is a gem. Thanks for this one!!!!!

Broken since update. Best way to find new trails. This app literally changed my life. I don’t use it for tracking but the pro version is still worth every cent for exploring and having a quick map and height profile available on the trail to complement the paper maps.

Inadequate interface options. I tried downloading AllTrails to see if it would be a useful GPS solution for me. I used Memory Maps for years before they pulled the plug on map support and I have been left wandering in the dark since. I want something that I can plan a hike on a large format screen such as computer or iPad and then do the walking with an iPhone screen. As far as I can see, the only scaling available is an iPhone size screen. That makes it useless for a computer or iPad. I’m trying to find where I can cancel my Pro account but despite reference to the App Store, I cannot find anything there to facilitate this. Any help would be appreciated.

Glitchy as hell. Husband gifted this to me for Christmas with a three year subscription and was super excited. Upon using this app within 5 min, I found so many glitches it’s insane. First, when I download multiple maps, it just saves it under one trail. All the trails have been diverted to the same map. With the same name. The app keeps jumping from metric to imperial even tho my settings are for metric. When I click on one trail to read about it, and go back to previous page, it loses all the settings I was searching and I have to start over. If this isn’t fixed, I will be getting my money back.

Good for short hikes, rubbish if you’re doing something longer or remote.. Loved this app when I was using it to look for and do 1, 2 or 3 day hikes in eastern Oz but the paid version was absolute garbage on Larapinta. The apps only functionality seems to be tracking your hike (I need to know where I’m going not how far I’ve come) but had nothing useful like distances to next camp sites, waypoints etc. especially when there is no reception and you can’t charge your phone every night. Also couldn’t figure out the point of downloading a map if you can’t use it offline? Stick to the free version to find local hikes and look for one of the many other truely good apps for longer hikes.

The good the bad and the frustrating. The Good… The app works well when the internet is strong and there are stacks of obscure and local hikes for Australians. It is great for finding hikes and seeing the photos. The Bad… The app was constantly stopping and crashing when I did the Bibbulmun. So much so that I couldn’t use it and had to record each days hiking on ‘WorkOutDoors’ app. And the track was more up to date on Guthook. The Frustrating… For the Bibbulmun ‘Guthook’ app is more reliable. The offline maps of AllTrails app would not stay on the phone and the app devs advice was to restart the phone and download it again. With smaller maps it might work better but for the Bibbulmun I found it just so annoying. The watch app would not connect and often stopped and the phone app crashed. A lot could be done to improve the offline functionality of the app.

A few glitches. Really great idea for an app and the subscription price isn’t too unreasonable. I would hold off subscribing though because there are some glitches which are making it annoying to use! For example when scrolling through trails on the explore page, it keeps refreshing itself for no reason, without swiping down from the top. This has been annoying when I’m looking at a trail only to lose it because the page suddenly refreshes. Other glitches I’ve had are the app thinking I’ve been on a hike while I’ve had the app closed and running in the background but I haven’t pressed start to begin a hike!

Great app BUT has recently become very sluggish. I’ve used the Pro version for over a year now and have had a lot of great experiences with it, good maps, excellent functions and trail suggestions are not too bad as well. BUT what have they done in the last month or so with the updates? It has become very sluggish, when you click on a trail it can take 5-10 seconds to actually react, same as its loading full maps and many other functions! Sometime it’s so frustrating that you click again and again since your not sure if it did register, and then you get two or more following actions happening over the next 10-20 seconds! Didn’t do that before and I’ve not changed anything on the phone or so. PLEASE fix this issue again and I’d be happy to raise my score.

Simply exceptional. This is an incredible app- any time anywhere around home or on a trip I can find the sort of walk or hike I really would like to do given time available and level of difficulty. No more getting lost either! I don’t need ph reception to maintain location. It is now one of my key apps. Wonderful!

Absolute Rubbish with Apple Watch. Paid $30 for the pro version because I wanted to use it with my Apple Watch 5. Disappointed that you need to run with the phone for it to work but so be it I lugged the phone with me. BUT then if you don’t continuously pull your phone out to keep the pairing active the syncing goes to sleep, all GPS functions fail, the watch app closes while using it on a run. What a useless junk app. Developers don’t advertise it as Watch compatible unless it is actually functional. My 10km run recorded as 5km in straight lines and stopped working half way through. Rubbish Rubbish Rubbish

GPS. I would recommend this app as a substitute for GPS devices, it works as a charm even when we go offline. I am subscribing to pro. I would also like to request developers to bring subscription fee little bit down, so that everyone can subscribe without thinking twice.

Great, but could go bad. Have been using this for the last few months as I travel Aus, it works well when in reception. But offline or in poor reception it’s started to become annoyingly sluggish or straight up not working. I hope they fix this. I have subscribed to pro. With using offline, I have had to start manually noting down where the hike is when I have mobile reception and using other maps to plan the trip. Kinda sad as it was working. This is with Telstra and an iPhone X and Galaxy Note.

Misleading. I’ve downloaded this app after seeing an ad on Instagram stating that it will tell you if the trail is dog friendly as I would not go on a hike without my dog. I’ve clicked on 10 trails near where I live and absolutely no indication if the trails allow dogs or not. So disappointing. I will remove this app from my phone as it’s not doing the job for me and just use Google. Other than that the app is beautifully made and allows you to see straight away the level of difficulty. There is also a weather forecast to plan your hike which is a great idea.

Just downloaded and it’s already useful. I think I’m going to get a lot of use from this app. Lots of local trails to explore. But… In Australia, we use the metric system, and that means energy usage is measured in kiloJoules, not calories. Can you please fix this, or at least have kiloJoules/calories as an extra choice. The energy tracking is meaningless for me otherwise.

Problems. There are massive problems with the starting pin data as not registering where you are. I recently completed a track, used the app but it would let me tag the right trail because the start pin wasn’t anywhere I actually was (about 50km wrong) and I hadn’t even been to that place. I had full reception too. When tagging a map you need to ba able to search for the right trail. I tried to update it in the full desktop platform and it still didn’t work. I lost all my data and it won’t register my walk. There is definitely something buggy going on with lots of complaints about this in the help section but no answers or solutions. I’m a full subscriber too.

Email needs to F off. I have unsubscribed at least 3 times in the past month, if not more, and I STILL get blasted with emails. Unsubscribe means I don’t need you in my inbox, please and thank you.

Very slow app (pro). I don’t know what’s going on. The app is very slow. I don’t like it anymore.

Pro version doesn’t work. I subscribed to Pro Version and I get a message that All Trails cannot make this happens. I send email to the team support of AllTrails and didn’t get any news.

The app kept crashing when using offline. I'm on a pro version and had a map downloaded. Today I was on a trail with no cell service, relying on the offline map. On the halfway there, the app just crashed and quit, my offline map was gone with it. Opening the app again resulted in another crash, I tried reopening and restarting quite a few times, no luck. After I exhausted my attempts to get the app functioning - with no map at hand, I turned around and started the decline. Luckily, it was during the day in the woods and I was able to trace back and find my way out. However the app showed that it's not reliable when used offline with a downloaded map which eroded my trust.

Maps do not download on pro. I feel like I’m the only one having this issue by reading some of the reviews - however buyer please be aware. I have paid for the pro version of the app and each map I try to download errors out or stops at a certain point but does not fully download. My phone is up to date with its iOS operating system and I have also tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling the app with no avail. I am disappointed as this app is so highly rated

Apple Watch App is Useless. The whole reason I bought this was to use the Apple Watch to track, start and stop my hike. The Apple Watch app feels like it’s older than the Apple Watch itself, it is completely useless. Not sure what it would take to get it up to the 21st century but it sure would be nice.

Used to be useful. Used to be useful but now needs paid subscription to be usable at all. This app along with many others like it gets users to pay for freely acquired information. App updates are huge and have little to no increased functionality within app. Not worth the cost or effort. Avoid.

So many broken features. I was a pro member. I am also very IT savvy and I am not afraid of a steep learning curve when comes the time to learn and make the most out of a new app. I assure you: this app is broken. If you just want to record your hike it might be ok, but otherwise if you want to discover, plan a hike, make a new map… forget it it’s a waste of your time.

The Wikipedia of hiking apps - plenty of info. but not always accurate. In my area near the Canadian Rocky Mountains, I know most novice-intermediate hikers rely on this app as their primary (and often their only) source of trail information. While this app is a good place to start for some general information, and user reviews are sometimes very helpful to have, people should absolutely not be relying solely on the information on this app. The trail information is mostly user generated, which leaves a lot of room for errors that are potentially dangerous. According to some trail reviews I’ve seen on the app, and plenty of posts and discussions in my local Facebook hiking group (which currently has over 67k members, for reference), the information on this app often leads novice and intermediate hikers to take on trails that are way beyond their current capabilities, or to attempt the hike completely unprepared and without proper safety gear. Most of the trail descriptions lack even the most basic safety information, which is particularly important for novice hikers who are just starting out and have not yet learned much about hiking safety, proper gear, and interactions with wildlife. Over the last few years, I have been trying to do my small part to edit trail descriptions for hikes in my area to include essential information along the lines of: - This trail includes a level 4 scramble. It is strongly recommended that users wear a helmet to protect from falling rocks. - Bears are known to frequent this area. It is extremely important that each hiker in your group is carrying bear spray. - The trail is marked by ____. It is crucial for your safety that you stay on the marked trail to avoid ending up on dangerous ledges. - Hiking poles are helpful to navigate the narrow ridge, which is often extremely windy. - In winter, this trail passes through avalanche terrain. Do not attempt this hike in winter without AST training and microspikes. I have found my edits are either soon replaced by, or not published at all in favour of keeping trail descriptions including such valuable information as: - This hike is so literally so nice and fun. There’s even a waterfall! - It’s hard but the views from the top are worth it. - On your way, don’t forget to stop at [the very obvious pretty place which is half the reason people choose this hike in the first place] for photos! - The hike is kind of steep in some places but most people can probably do it. Maybe do the loop counter-clockwise instead. - It’s a pretty long hike, so users should probably bring some water. I am constantly baffled that such terrible information is published as a trail description, which all users considering that hike will read, especially when most of it is barely even useful as a trail review. But that’s what you get from user generated content. This is exactly why the most experienced hikers and rescue workers in my area actively encourage people NOT to use this app. Do yourself a MAJOR favour and buy some well-researched hiking guidebooks with accurate trail and safety information to reference as well. Many are also available at local libraries. Think of AllTrails as the Wikipedia of hiking - a decent place to start, and sometimes a helpful reference to use in conjunction with more reliable and robust sources. By no means should this app be your only source of information before you head out on a hike - especially if you are generally inexperienced and new to hiking.

Great app for hiking. Great app for checking out and planning hikes throughout the season. Reviews on trails provides what to expect on the trails.

Unauthorised charge. This company charges you authomatically for the pro version without letting you that they are going and you have a chance to change subscription. Don’t download the app I cannot believe I didn’t read reviews of other people about the app. Being charged

Dead now. Can’t open

Too many emails. Beware of the endless amount of e-mail sent from them. I decided to try the app out and setup through an existing fb account. I started to get emails and after receiving what I felt was too many I decided to unsubscribe from all. They give a warning that it may take up to 7 days to be completely done, but after too weeks I am still getting emails from them. Updated for 3 weeks later… still getting endless emails even after “unsubscribing” on each one.

User. Difficult to get account settings paid for full membership but does not show up

Maps don’t work. I have two iPhones. Connected to the internet. And the maps do not load. Waste of money on my paid subscription and put me in serious trouble when hiking in the Rockies. Seriously, fix this problem.

Make a harder-to-use app and you’ll net a Nobel prize. This app has never been great, but recent updates made it unusable. Scrubbing on the elevation chart gives me 3 frames per second. Panning or zooming on the map is the same. It’s incredibly hard to use, goes against every other Apple human interface guideline principle, and now it’s a hand warmer by burning thru the better at speed previously unthinkable. Good job team. Way to go helping me discover Gaia.

Great Tool. For those of you who are not sure what is out there and what to try next AllTrails is an awesome tool

A very useful app with some small problems.. I bought the pro version of this app about three months ago and have used it over thirty times since, some local and some way off the grid. It does the job for me very well and I’d give it five stars except for the little things that can annoy at times. Perhaps I just need a little help... While recording: The drop down elevation graph takes up way too much of the screen on my IPhone. Some of my trips are paddling adventures on the ocean. Not much use for an elevation graph there... can I get that out of the way without having to swipe it up every time I consult the map for my position? Cold wet hands don’t swipe very well and all I want is to push one button and take a quick look. The same goes for the large buttons for downloading underlays and layers for the maps that I can’t see because the buttons are in the way. After all, I’m already using the map and with no cell service, can’t download anything. So couldn’t these buttons be called up by a drop down menu instead of using up all the valuable real estate of my screen? When in an area without cell service I use airplane mode to save battery. I keep the screen off for the same reason. When I activate the screen I often find the map data has been discarded and I have to wait way too long (two minutes, maybe)for it to come back on the screen. I see a blue dot flashing my location on a screen consisting of a grid....not too useful. Why? The little scale bar on the map in the bottom, left of my recording screen is white on a light coloured background...and I can’t see it. If it was black I could. I have to slide something dark on the map under the scale bar to read it. I try to use it quite often but sometimes I just have to give up. Why does the screen reset itself every time I activate the display? I set the position dot the way I want it and the next time I activate the screen I have the default position back there. Wow, I’ve done quite a bit of complaining but I do like this app and I have used it extensively in lots of different conditions on my many adventures this summer and fall. It sometimes irritates me but it has never let me down and I am very happy with it. I use it on my old iPhone 6S and I would recommend it to anyone who uses it like I do.

Something is wrong. When I search for trails nothing comes up… very disappointing as I’m paying for this

Attention!. J’ai été facturé pour un abonnement d’un an alors que je voulais seulement utiliser la version gratuite! 😡

Sinister app. Sucks you into subscription and now I’ve got multiple subscriptions and I can’t seem to cancel. Beware!

Used to be good before they got greedy. Useless now that you can't research trails in a specific national park. You need to pay 40$ to change the distance from the place you are researching. 👎

Great. Wish that it’s free

Abuses notification privileges. I have them enabled for safety features (ie off trail notifications) and they use them to send me ads for their product, which I’m already subscribed too! I’ve turned off auto-renew as a result. Maybe I’ll need it next summer, maybe I won’t.

Not well rounded.. I download the free app to give it an opportunity, and then paid for a one year subscription to give it a fair opportunity. I will not be renewing all trails, it feels it is just a popular name that is marketed well. It does not deliver a quality service for the equestrian lifestyle I live. If you know the name of a certain trail in a popular area…sure it may work for example rundle mountain or junction fall. The software and interfacing with the client is well below par in my opinion

Just give us the map! 🗺🙄. Does anyone stop mid-hike and think to themselves “I really need to look at Explore on AllTrails?” — What a waste of UI real estate! Being a navigation app, the map should be the highest priority. It should be the first view when opening the app. ⠀At least put the map icon and search bar near the bottom if we’re forced to see the wasteful Explore tab. ⠀ A lot of potential with the detailed trail data, but frustrating design choices all around. The app design is bloated and the functionality seems out of touch with the end users.

Rdnkvnce. Sert absolument a rien comme appli

Probably should cancel. Says I payed you guys took the money for pro but can’t access pro hmmm 🤔😣

Basically unusable. So many ads that I was literally being redirected to a different app every time I clicked on something.

Spam Notifications. Even if you pay for their expensive pro version, they’ll still send you random spam messages begging you to come back and use the app. 😡

Promotion? Be aware!. Saw a PRO version “promotion” deal, half price for a year, subscribed, but then I was charged a full price.

Really disappointed about latest change. I started subscribing to this App around 2017. Back then, I appreciated the features and stability it offered. However in the last couple of years the recent changes kept me questioning the testing they put in this. With the last change, when I tried to review a recording I just made it would not access it because of no network access. This is ridiculous and was not a problem before. Also, they now have put the picture option under a sub menu. Also, one of the cool feature was the possibility to share an image that was a picture of the trail recorded. It had detailed elevation was awesome to add to your photo collection. Now it's just a silly image image that is worthless.

Avoid. Worked great for the first few years I had the app (pro version) now when I try and click on any trails the app completely freezes. So when you have your hikes saved and downloaded for offline use and you go to use it as a ‘helpful’ reference you’re left with a frozen app and needing to use other methods for navigation. If you’re someone who solely uses this app for navigation you could get yourself in a lot of trouble.

*****Attention*****. Once you subscribe to Alltrails Pro there is NO way to cancel the auto-renew. Only way to cancel auto-renew is in there website by using a desktop pc according to there instructions. But suprise, suprise there is no option to do so on the website to modify your billing info or cancel auto-renew under the settings tab when you hover over your profile pic. Just got charged agian with NO WAY to cancel. Only way to contact them is via email and they don’t respond.

Bait and switch app! Do not install!. Within oh, maybe 3seconds of install /opening it charged my CC. This said it has a 30 day trial, not 30 seconds - as per the install!

Keeps crashing. Can’t open for more than 5 seconds on iPhone 12Pro. Disappointed as a pro user.

Garbage. Pops up a login screen any time you try to do anything, and then just says “Error”. No idea how this is so highly rated.

Misleading IAP Pricing. The in app pro pricing is $29.99 for 1 year, or save 33% and pay $84.99 for 3 years - 33% savings would make it $60.

Slowest App Ever. This app literally is the slowest app I ever installed on my iPhone. Why those genesis developers put so much data fetching request? Are you guys crazy or stupid? Please fix the issue before you charge people for ridiculous bill.

….. Only rating this 1-star because of all the popups asking to rate it, I already paid for pro ….

Wont cancel my account. All trails refuses to cancel my account without a pc . Cant cancel by email / phone call / iphone ect … they charge my credit card credit card np but cancel my account …not ok

Users beware, app/site sells your info. Unsure why but my original review was deleted. This site/app popped up on my facebook because they submitted a list with my information (as per fb, go to settings - ad preferences - advertisers & businesses). I didn’t give either site/app permission to add me to the other, link the alltrails account to fb or like the alltrails page on fb. The only thing both companies have in common about me is my name. I specifically created & only use that email address for fb to avoid hassles like this. I haven’t been on the alltrails site since I signed up over a year ago. Edit: As I stated above, it’s been over a year since I was on the site to sign up. Never been back till I requested the account be deleted The site/app showed up on fb’s spam list two weeks ago. Screenshots of proof were already sent to alltrails, because I was asked for them when I had my account deleted.

Don’t Subscribe. Don’t subscribe because it’s impossible to unsubscribe so you’ll be paying for it forever. Their instructions send you in circles and they don’t have ANYONE that you can talk to. Their customer service is an email account that I’m STILL waiting to hear from.

Clunky garbage. Navigating on this app is mentally equivalent to smashing your own head in with a cast iron frying pan.

App hangs and ver slow response. The trails maps especially paid offline trails maps have to be handy when needed. The app takes atleast 10 seconds to load a trail and forget of downloading/offline maps. While charging 30+ bucks a year, try to maintain some good backend servers, application to support users. Frustrated with app response time and not of much use in middle of trails waiting minutes to check the routes.

application design is frustrating and stupid. very bad application design and it keeps popping up subscription randomly begging to gain money! stop harassing people by your greed!

UI so bad, you should just delete the app. Other than the explore feature, the app’s UI is so broken, you’re better off just walk without the app. Privacy is also very poor; eg: profile is shared by default and you need to opt-out sharing. In planning (not navigating), it constantly nags you for precise location.

Painfully Slow. This was once a good app, but as time goes on it gets slower and slower. I have had the paid version for many years on a newish iPhone and even when I am trying to view my downloaded maps it’s slower than a turtle. I wish this app was still what it was years ago but now it’s horrible. In app navigation is so bad. Such a disappointment.

Lifetime Subscription!. Their version of lifetime subscription means 3 years! In 2019 on this day, I paid full price and today they sent me an email to upgrade to Pro with some special discount within their web site! Surely, this app will be deleted in 3…2…1.

Pay version worth it if you love planning your own routes and spend time alone on the trails. I LOVED the free version of AllTrails so much that I payed to upgrade. I loved the payed version so much that I continue to pay the annual fee. The pay version allows me to plan my own routes on and off trails and gives me mileage and elevation gain, download the maps and have access to them when I don’t have cell service, and tracks my gps location on a map. This definitely gives me peace of mind in the back country, even though I am a capable route finder and carry map and compass. The only annoyance I’ve noticed is that if I don’t update the app every couple of weeks, it takes a REALLY long time to open it. Also, I love that I can share maps with friends and download their maps to use. I highly recommend this app the free version and paid version.

App crashes after roughly 5 seconds. App repeatedly crashes a few seconds after launch today. It paused my hike twice but didn’t crash (app closes completely) when used two days ago. Powered down and restarted iPhone but that didn’t help. Searched App Support, which says I should send a crash report… but app crashes before I can do so. Signed in to AllTrails website as last ditch effort to find a trail and am surprised to see Someone Else’s Profile, including location of their deer blind set-up. Additionally, website doesn’t recognize that I have a paid subscription so I’m continually getting windows asking me to sign up as I try to sort/filter local trails. Literally can’t find anything “AllTrals”working today. I’m really running out of reasons to continue with AllTrails. UPDATE: Deleted and reinstalled app on iPhone and it is working now. (Hopefully this info helps someone else.) I still see someone else’s profile on AllTrails website so it seems the two issues are exclusive from one another.

Not so great anymore. Its funny how all the five star reviews were from a year or longer? This use to be the best app! Loved it. I have the pro version. And have recommended this to everyone. But since update after update. The app no longer works like it used to. If you have a IOS don’t bother recording your routes it will not verify you. It has stopped on its own while recording. I have emailed AllTrails but sadly nothing has happened except a email back that they are working on it. They have added more social features But I think its more important to have the routes working correctly so you don’t get lost and have your trails verified as you worked so hard to complete them then to connect with a friend. I know I know just email AllTrails they will respond…

Latest updates ruin app. I have been a Pro user of the apps for a few years now and always loved the app. The latest update however has made the user experiencing so frustrating I may have to look elsewhere. A couple key highlights; 1. When zooming in on a map it’s over responsive to the zoom and extremely hard to keep your north/south orientation (a locking option would be nice) 2. When you zoom in or scroll near a trail the app automatically selects a trail for you, over and over, it’s almost impossible to just browse the map without the trail pop up taking over your screen. 3. Selecting trails is now extremely slow, when trying to browse trails by selecting more than 2 map pins sequentially the app lags or freezes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled as suggested in other reviews by the app developer, and unfortunately there was no improvement in performance. Even if this was improved, they still missed the mark on what features made this app great.

Excellent, but I want a few improvements. Love this app, and it helps me find trails I didn’t know about here and when I’m on the road. 1) I’d like an option (I can’t seem to find this feature on the phone app) to *exclude* that allow a particular activity. I’d rather not take my kids on trails that allow motorbikes, or my dog on trails that allow horses. I can’t find that feature. 2) I’d also like to see the revised estimates of trail length feed back to the site. I frequently find my and my wife’s Apple Watches estimates the trail at 20% longer than the stated length, and that others have had the same experience as a “recorded” hike on their (other brand) devices. And yet the trail still shows up as it’s original length. I get that this is challenging to achieve, but it would be good to at least work on revisions for popular trails so that people don’t end up endeavoring in a hike that is two miles longer than they believed it to be. 3) Lastly I’d like to be able to return to the app easily and see the trail I’m on and have downloaded. On my iPhone, it defaults back to the home screen, and when I enter the app, it defaults back to the main page, rather than onto the “plan” tab or trail I’m clearly on. It’s frustrating to spend that extra 30 seconds each time to find out whether I’ve walked off-trail. Thanks for reading! Pro subscriber, iPhone 8, MacBook, based in CO, USA.

Update is terrible!. I have the pro version and before this recent update I was always able to look up trails- even when I didn’t have reception! Now I have to look them up before I go and download them beforehand. A little annoying because sometimes we will change our mind and choose a different trail in the area. Also the red map lines are now written over the names of the trails! Really frustrating! Sometimes the names of hikes don’t match up to the route drawn, so I always like to zoom in and double check. Especially when hiking in the smokies. I also can’t read the distance points on the maps anymore. The red lines are written over those too. Please fix this!!!!! I have been a pro member for 3 years and which to continue being one.

Worst update of all time. Please UNDO all of it!. Ever since you updated the app, it’s a nightmare. Tells me I have done double the elevation gain I’ve done. Stops tracking me when I exit the app to check a text or my timer. Totally ruined my Grand Canyon hike by separating into 10 separate completed small hikes, instead of tracking my complete hike including offshoots off the main trail (which it used to do well). It’s terrible. I hate it. I’ve recommended it to hundreds of people and cannot anymore. PLEASE UNDO YOUR HORRIBLE UPDATES! And seriously how dare you try and force me to rate, name, add photos to and comment on every single walk I ever take. That’s insane. I hike some trails 4 times a week. Why would I do that? Then it freezes up when I try and exit the forced commenting and I have no choice. HORRIBLE. HORRIBLE. Upgrade. Writing this at a summit where I’ve once again lost my whole hike because the app stopped tracking when I got a text message. WTaF?

If you backpack..... This is the best app. Besides the old map and compass, you have the ability to track your gps location on the marked trail you can download from each hike. Keep in mind GPS is run by satellites in space so cell reception is unnecessary to use which saves your phone battery and can track every step to make sure you’re on the path. I recently did a technical alpine lake wilderness hike and ran into 6 groups of lost hikers from excess snow and brush blocking the trail which allowed me and my dog to have an entire crystal blue lake all to ourselves for 2 days. If it wasn’t for the app, I wouldn’t have been able to navigate the trail as effectively and knowing within 10 feet if I had stepped off of it. Pay the 30 dollars for the pro membership and save yourself from getting lost and also epic states of solitude are in your favor like mine thanks to this also application. 🤙🏾

Literally useless as Pro version. I bought Pro two years ago to navigate in the backcountry. For the last several months the app has been so slow to pull up even the downloaded trails that it renders them useless. They literally just don’t pull up. I imagine it’s from downloading so many but now that we’re at this point, it takes a solid 10-30 mins to delete even one downloaded map that it’s not feasible to even get back to the point of a functioning app. I spent an hour tonight trying to delete maps and maybe got one deleted. It never let me back in the saved section to see if that one even went away. It either “thinks” about doing something or it just crashes and closes. We’re currently at the crash and close phase. Can’t even get the app to stay up long enough to get support or send an email with a message. Don’t waste your money on Pro or at least make sure you constantly delete the downloads once you’re finished and never plan on going back.

The best hiking app out there. I’ve been using the app for the last 4 years and it has been the best hiking and navigating app for any hiker because of its simplicity to use of it, however coming back to it again after a year with the new updates, i realize how complicated to use it has became all for unnecessarily reasons. The app needs to stay simple to Start and End the hike with as most of the time we launch the app when we are already started hiking in the sun and trying to end it while we are still in the motion before the trailhead ends, now with the fancy features added to it you have yo choose bunch of stuff while in motion and at the end you have to stop and rate the trail and go over 3-4 steps and details to just end the hike, it becomes annoying thing to do after 8hrs of hiking in the sun, MAKE IT SIMPLE again please!!! and give the option of adding ratings or pictures later and you will have my 5 start rating.

Great app for hikers. I’ve always wanted to get in to hiking and want to eventually hike the AT so when the Covid lockdown started I decided to finally begin hiking. I downloaded the app and found all the trails near me and have been loving it ever since. The maps are very accurate with clicking on the directions tab taking you to your map and right to where you need to start. I love the recording feature that shows what elevation changes you’ll be encountering and all of the data it tracks like distance, pace and even calories burned. Going to my in-laws next week and have already scouted out some trails to go on! Only negative is I wish it wouldn’t chew thru so much battery when recording and tracking your location. Love it and maybe we’ll see each other on the trails one day!

Just minor features I wish were better. I love AllTrails, i love seeing all the reviews from people who have hiked the trail I’m looking at, saves me a lot of time looking for other people’s experiences and blogs explaining the hike, etc. I also love that you can customize maps, I just wish you could also do it on your phone when needed and sometimes drawing on the map gets wonky. And I wish there was more info on where people can camp, some have the icons and some don’t. I also thought you could view maps at least and maybe other things without Pro, I think it’s getting more restricted with the ability to benefit from the app without paying. But for the most part, AllTrails is great, I have Pro, but the restriction effects my ability to coordinate with friends which also effects my ability to get some friends into hiking when I can’t send them maps to view.

Why is a trail review is asked for in the middle of the hike?. I am new to AllTrails. While on the first hike just when I needed to check my location in order to navigate around an obstacle a pop up screen is suddenly asking me to rate the hike and add a photo. I was not allowed to continue navigating until I complied. I would be happy to rate the hike maybe after it was completed but please don’t require a rating while I’m on the trail. Later… AllTrails has promptly replied to my comment which I really appreciate. They assured me that a rating request should not happen during the hike. Like I said , I’m a newbie to AllTrails so I’ll wait and see what happens. Subsequent hikes with AllTrails have been great with a rating request at the end of the hike but I’m still being locked out until I comply with their request. Don’t get me wrong, I still like AllTrails.

Great app... until now. The most recent version of the app (as of April 2, 2021) has introduced some really frustrating bugs. Please fix! 1) the app doesn’t open sometimes. The homepage appears with only half the layout and the loading icons spins endlessly. I have to close the app, swipe it away, then reopen to get the app to open fully. 2) when actively recording a hike, I cannot resume the recording after I’ve paused it. An error message appears saying “oops, something went wrong, tap to try again” but the only buttons that work upon trying again are “Clear” or “Save”. I either lose my recording, or save it and have to start a new one. The only way to capture a full hike is to keep recording even when I’m stopped on a break. I’ve been using and enjoying this app for four years but I’m really frustrated with it right now, especially since I’m paying for the pro membership.

Needs a lot of work.. I used to love this app, but as time has gone on, I've had more and more weekends ruined by it due to the lack of what should be necessary details. Some of the navigational and routing issues I understand because a lot of the destinations are places roads can't take you to. That stuff I can figure out. But there are a lot of things I would consider need-to-know information that aren't listed, such as whether the trails are in a facility that has certain hours (I got to a trail at around 4 specifically to take sunset photos from an overlook only to find that the gates for that trail locked at 4:30 in the afternoon), whether the trail requires a pass/permit/fee that may require one to bring cash or a check, whether there is as kiosk at the trailhead with a map or if you're solely reliant on your phone, etc. This information seems pretty simple for users to provide but currently, the only way to get this information is to scroll through the reviews of a trail until you find the one that has that info, if it's there. $30 for a subscription would be a small pittance for an app that did what this promises, but with all these important details that can make or break an afternoon or even a weekend left in the fog, it's a bit of a ripoff.

Love the AllTrails app. The app is great for locating trails while vacationing or unfamiliar with a new location. I have been using the AllTrails app for several years now and it’s always my go to for finding new trails. I share and recommend it to all my friends. I don’t tend to use it all that often while actually hiking do to battery and data consumption, but I use it for pre planning. One improvement I would like to see, would be the ability to upload short video clips (ie. POV videos, time lapse, overhead views, etc) I often take my drone with me on my hikes to capture some of the overall landscape/terrain of the trails and feel this could contribute to someone’s decision on weather or not they are capable of completing the trail. Other than that it’s a great app. I have used it to get back on trails once I’ve wandered off of them. Extremely helpful.

Invaluable hiking app. I don’t know how people found the trailhead or the way back to their cars after hiking without the AllTrails app. AllTrails has literally saved my life. I tend to get excited when I’m hiking and go for the most beautiful or strenuous looking climb, and that’s how I get turned around and lost- every time. AllTrails has mapped out every trail and I do believe I could use it to call for help. Also, being a new hiker and trying trailrunning I’d love to know my specs. AllTrails logs every mile, the time and elevation I climbed. I love seeing my progress. AllTrails also has located 500 trails near me. I live in a city and I had no idea there were this many opportunities to get out into nature and explore. This app changed my life, I hike every weekend and I just started trail running. Being out in nature, using the app, has taken priority over everything else I used to do on weekends. I love it. Thank you AllTrails.

Terrible. I paid for the membership mainly for the Apple Watch features, but it is completely useless. First of all, you have to have your phone with you and have the app open on your phone which is a complete non-starter. The Apple Watch app should be completely independent for this to be useful/valuable. Second, it is almost impossible to get the app to even open on the watch (I had to force close the app on the watch and the phone, then open them at the same time… basically you have to get lucky for it to even work). If you are lucky enough to get the Watch app to open, the top 1/4th of the map screen is blurred for no apparent reason AND the bright green trail line isn’t even visible. It also drains the battery on your phone like crazy (not exactly what you want when you’re doing a multi day hike and need your phone to last as long as possible). For me, this app is absolutely useless and I don’t understand how it got awarded best app of the year by Apple. It certainly is not.

Good stuff, needs iPad app!. I love AllTrails, great application and website. Use it all the time to do research on new hikes and enjoy adding conditions/photos from my experiences to pay it forward. I don’t do much to track hikes through AllTrails, which seems to be where most users are complaining. I can’t give it 5 stars, though, because it’s missing a dedicated iPad app! This is a wildly popular app, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who travels with an iPad instead of a laptop. The browser experience is less ideal on tablets, and the iPad app just displaying the phone app is a pretty clumsy execution. I know adding iPadOS to your dev plate might be a hassle, but this is where I do my trail research while traveling. Not having any of the advantages a tablet brings over a phone is just a disappointment these days, but everything else is top notch

Use caution. The app is decent, with one MAJOR flaw...I hike, but most of my use for this app was to find mountain bike trails...and there in lies the problem. There have been a few instances where I loaded up my family, loaded bikes on bike racks(taking two vehicles because we haul 5 bikes), and took trips to ride, only to find that some trails this app claims are mountain bike friendly, are NOT! We went up to Hinkley this past trip, to find that the only ‘trial’ you can ride there on bikes, literally...is the paved path around a small part of the park, like a 4 mile loop. You can NOT ride ANY of the dirt trails, out into the actual park. Same thing happened on two other trails this app lists as mountain bike friendly...are for hiking only...so be diligent and do extra research before you do any amount of traveling to do a fun mountain bike ride....to only get there and be disappointed. I hope this will save others from wasting lots of gas and time planning trips for nothing.

Overall a great app (Revised Review). AllTrails is my go to app for finding new trails when we travel. It is nice to read reviews before heading out. The detail on the trails is also nice if you get in a situation where you want to cut through somewhere to shave some distance on a long hike. I recently became a Pro member which came in handy on a couple of no cell service hikes. I like being able to download trails in advance of the hike. The only downfall is I feel like the app can drain your battery fast on your cell. It would be nice if I would be able to link my purchase to my wife’s phone so we had a back up if one of our phones died. I am always happy to see the developer adding new features and fixing bugs on a regular basis. I hope that the new Pro flat fee option is bringing in enough revenue to keep the app progressing.

So slow!. This app is very slow. It will not toggle between trails and takes way too long to search or open a map. Not all maps are correct. It is a good app for a basic hiker. But if you have any navigation skills or knowledge of hiking then this app is too elementary (and slow). It also does not keep track of your progress even with the pro feature. After a hike it immediately wants you to review the hike and will not show your stats or let you go to another map without first doing so, or closing the app and re-opening. I mapped a great trail today, but can not share because of the invalidity of the app. Will share on mapmyhike! Super bummed that the information is not saved. Also, it only shows one way hike data. So, if you are starting at a different end or going a different way on a loop it will not show correct data. There is no way to connect trails either. No real trail information, very basic. Doesn’t show mileage points or points of interest. And, just very very slow when searching for a map… slowest app I’ve ever used.

Love this App. This App is awesome, I use it every time I hike, which is at least once a week. Well worth the price of the Pro version IMO. Still needs some work though. What I’d love to see, is some sort of intelligence built in, so it knows when you’re driving in a car versus walking. Sometimes after a long hike I’m exhausted, and forget to turn off the recorder. The app then records my ride home, and adds it to my hike. This has also screwed up my stats, and it makes a mess of the trail I’ve just recorded. I’d also love to see more levels of maps able to be saved offline. I’m out of cell service often when hiking in the mountains. Yes the map is saved to my phone, but at only one zoom level. If I try to zoom in to see more details about where I am, and I have no service, the map doesn’t redrawn. My cell phone has 200GB of available storage, id love to be able to fill it up with maps!

Just Keeps Getting More Polished. First, the “Pro” version of this is priced just right. Second, I primarily use it for mountain biking—it is a MUCH cleaner view than Trail Forks or MTB Project, so using it while riding an unfamiliar trail is like having Google Maps (you can download the data for your maps/trail before you head out, so you don’t need cell coverage). Strava also has a clean look, but (A) not as detailed as far as trail names go and (B) your must have cellular coverage to access the map (beyond a decent radius from where you last had coverage). With Pro, you can create your own very detailed maps (with great tools), and print/share them—great for letting someone else know EXACTLY where you will be riding in case you don’t come back! You can also navigate off those maps, and the app will audibly alert you if you become “Off Trail.” The only “downside” to AllTrails is that those other apps have a TREMENDOUS amount of biking-specific info, so they are much better for planning your trip. But, AllTrails is the one I actually use on the trail (although I have Strava running in the background to capture my track and stats as a backup, and also to share (bigger biking community). The latest version really polished the already good graphics, especially the elevation tracking.

A couple of things. Recently, the app keeps reverting my title to “morning” hike, “afternoon” hike, etc. I am Using All Trails to track my hikes for the 52 Hike Challenge. This is a new issue, and I am not sure why the change. Also I can’t find a way to edit the title back to what I want it to be. The title reverts just after I “save” the hike and the screen changes. If those 2 things could change, I’d give it 5 stars. I really like All Trails and all the other features. Overall, an excellent app! Got an email from AllTrails. Swiftly too. I appreciated that. I need to clarify, I guess. I know about three dots. But once the hike is “saved” and I close it, I can’t go back and edit the title. Or at least when I hit those three dots, the edit feature is no longer there once I leave the hike or the app. Also the reversion to the default title is new. Maybe the last week or so…before that, it wasn’t an issue. But hey, I’ll take all the help I can get cause this is a pain.

The latest version update made Alltrails useless. This app is my most used hiking tools, I go to every trail with AllTrails on. However the lasted update must have a huge glitch. When you search nothing shows up no matter how you set the search. It keeps saying no trails are found. It is very disappointing the last update made recording so much more difficult to use (you have to first find a trail to link, then use the trail to navigate, then activity category / hiking, hold on to start then continue, in comparison to previous one click of round radio button to start. Now this most recent update made AllTrails useless as you can’t find any single trail. Very disappointed to see how a popular app goes on downward. Don’t make updates for the sake of it, keep user experience in mind please. I am lowering my previous rating for I can’t use the app anymore

Informative. I like AllTrails due to it’s accuracy and the directions for driving when navigating via GPS. The layout of the app gets old fast but that does not really matter since it’s only used for finding trails. The PRO version I feel is not worth it unless you are an avid hiker and that’s all you do. I’m a personal trainer and having detailed info really helps out such as mileage, estimated time of completion, and a visual of the entire map so you know if it’s a loop-style trail or something different. *The best part about the app HAS to be the fact it has navigation directions + a huge list of options to choose from ranging anywhere from 15minutes away to 5 days of driving away. Plenty of options. Just like doing a google search and finding outdoor stuff to do except this is narrowed down to biking, camping, and hiking.

One little gripe, otherwise the best rail app. This is a great app and I recommend any hiker use it. I’ve used it on four continents in at least 10 countries and it’s been great. My only complaint is the relationship between looking at a trail and looking at the map of trails around that trail. Sometimes I search for a specific location and I can only see one trail in that location. There should be a way to search for hikes around a trail. In other words, if I’m in a specific trail looking at it, there should be an easy button that says show me the map around this trail or something to that effect. That way I can see what other trails are immediately in the vicinity. Today, the functionality makes me go to the main map and scroll around until I find the location and that is cumbersome and irritating.

Great app+Frustrating experience+good service=happy user!. Updated: I was contacted by the developer and was told to delete and download the app and it worked! Anyone experiencing the below issue, try this fix! I love all trails and I’m so happy I can continue to use it glitch free! I used to LOVE AllTrails! It was the most effective way for me to map, track and find trails in my area and get good info on the trails. It’s even helped me (when I had service) in spots when I would get off trail. But recently (starting in September maybe?) the app freezes and crashes within 45 seconds to a minute of use. I can barely use it so unfortunately I’ve stopped using it, which is frustrating because like I said I love this app! I have updated the app as much as I can, and my phone (iPhone8) and nothing has seemed to fix this problem. Super disappointed that I have to find another app or another way to navigate trails!

Great app!. I love this app and I use it every weekend to find a trail based on the filters it provides (length, elevation gain, activity, etc.). I recommend it to everyone! The only things I’d change are that when I save a trail to my favorites, I could unsave it and save it again and it would be at the top of my list if I have it sorted as “most rencently saved.” Currently, it keeps your save list in the same order if you’ve previously saved a trail. This change makes it nice if you’re going on a trail that doesn’t have great reception and you want to open the trail map to check where you are without having to search for the trail name. I would also change the fact that if you’re in your favorites list and open a trail, when you go back you’re at the beginning of your list again. Other than those small changes, the app is amazing!

Great app for big trips and everyday use! A usability request.. I am a fan of Alltrails app for several years ago. It works wonderfully during my hikes/walks around town and was super helpful guiding me and my friends on the trails during a Tour de Mont Blanc trip three years ago. I found one usability issue in the latest version (13.0.2). I use it mostly on daily walks, and it used to feature the tracking function with a big “record” button at the bottom of the display. One click and it started recording my route. This is the feature I use most frequently. In this new version, at first I could not find the record button. Then I figured out that I now have to press 4 clicks to start recording. For a function that (I suspect) many users use frequently this is a terrible UI design. I hope the developers will update the interface to bring back the big start/record button. Thanks!

Great iPhone app, bad Apple Watch app. The iPhone app and functionality this application gives is fantastic. I have gotten into hiking a lot in the past year and AllTrails has been my resource for discovering trails and also navigating them with the offline maps if I think I am getting lost. I have no real complains for the iPhone app but the same cannot be said for the watch app. It’s kind of garbage because of how unreliable it is. When it works it’s super buggy and reloads the entire UI very often, feeling super janky. The real problem is some days it doesn’t work period, getting stuck in the “connecting to the phone app” screen. At this point it’s a coin toss for me, half the time I can use my watch to see the trail map and my location and leave my phone in my backpack, awesome, and the other half the time the watch app won’t work and I have to pull out my phone anytime I wanna make sure I am not going off the trail path, kind of tedious.

Concerns About GPS and Route Recording. I saw another comment on here complaining about All Trails and his GPS signal being lost, as well as his routes not being recorded. This has nothing to do with the All Trails app, and there’s nothing AllTrails can do to fix this issue. It has to do with the strength of the GPS receiver in your phone. If the GPS signal is lost because of cloud cover or whatever, AllTrails will stop recording your route because it cannot locate you while your GPS receiver is unable to connect with the GPS in orbit around Earth. Sometimes it doesn’t matter how good your GPS receiver is, and the signal connection will still be lost. If your phone is constantly losing GPS connection, either your phone’s receiver is low quality, the weather is impeding the connection, or you’re simply in a location where a GPS receiver is going to constantly drop connection no matter how good your receiver is. I hope this helps.

I don’t go outside without it. Every morning I find a new place to go with this thing. Yeah, there are all the popular hikes you would expect, but it is awesome finding the trails that people don’t know about. For example, today I finished a 4 mile downhill route that was 20 minutes from my house and is only accessible from a random old farm street. Last weekend we found a 20ft waterfall from a trailhead that only had 4 parking spots and no signage. I love how the iOS watch app also gives you a map view so you don’t have to pull out your phone. Nice touch. I would love there to be some more competition or challenges, especially for my kids though. And since we’ve done the trails by our house a lot, it would be nice to see us on some leaderboard or teach us something new about the trail or area.

Loved this place I had to come back!. The last time I was here was about 6 years ago. Let’s set the record straight I am terrified of heights. A friend from church invited me to join her on a hike to Old Rag Mountain. Old Rag Mountain was the first Mountain I have ever hiked. I love to fight my phobia and show I am able to over come all things. After that experience I sure enjoyed my Mountain View’s. Last time I was here I was 50lbs lighter lol. I had great wonderful memories. I had enjoyed the scenery, the rocky scrimmage and the refreshing air. I never seemed to convince anyone else to join me. Thankfully this year my best friend/my other half, my children and my cousin joined me! With all the extra weight I’m carrying, this time around I really had to Pushed myself through it, but I killed it. I enjoyed refreshing my memories and making new ones! I will always enjoy this hike!

Buyer Beware. I bought this app a couple of days ago and tried to use it for a backpacking trip in a nearby national forest. Firstly, the app’s maps didn’t match the park’s trail maps AT ALL, so I decided to take both with me of course. As I went on, it seemed like the AllTrails version was just random gps points that had been made up. We were somewhat in the general area but absolutely could not have used it to find our way anywhere out there. I tried it again on another trail when we got back just to see and it wasn’t accurate either! Most of them have been, but if even some of them aren’t, then I cannot trust it. I planned to use this product for multi-day trips but it seems super unsafe now. The worst part is, when I went to request a refund for the above reasons, I got immediate denied (without anyone even looking into my claim) and it’s near impossible to get ahold of anyone at AllTrails. So, that’s $60 that I’ll never see again for a product that I’ll certainly never use. I do not recommend this product! The free version for simple day hikes was great. But if you want it for anything more in depth, this is not the right app for you!

AllTrails Pro: Worth it!. I completed the Adirondack 46 high peak trails in 2018. I have summited half or more of those mountains using my AllTrails app. I obsess over our hiking routes and spend at least a few hours for each hike reviewing our plan using the AllTrails app and the AllTrails map layer. Great print out to hand off to family so they know where we are going and can identify landmarks quickly if needed in an emergency. On the trail, at least 2 or 3 times, we have made quick course corrections leading us back to the trail using the GPS follow the trail feature! Not a substitute for a compass (app loaded on my phone, battery could go dead) but I always have it ready if needed. AllTrails is great for local adventures. I never realized how many trails were right in my backyard! I spent a frustrating amount of time with other apps before landing on AllTrails. You cannot beat this app!

Great Trail Suggestion, some tweaking needed. Hello! I have been using the all trails up for a few years. I have just upgraded to pro recently. I can tell you all the things I love about this app. I mainly use it for hiking but I do also use it to find cool places on road trips or for biking. I love all the great filters to narrow it down based on my interests and capabilities. I love reading the comments and seeing reviews before attempting these trails. They have been so helpful. I love how I can plan my trips and save my favorite hikes and keep track of my completed trails. I do not yet find pro worth it though. It’s not much different than the free version in my eyes. And I had a poor experience using the offline, downloadable maps. It was very inaccurate. Kept leading me off trail and lead me to a dangerous situation and ruined my hiking plans. I love AllTrails but as a promember, I have not found “pro” all that worth of yet.

Very useful!. Love this app for 3 main reasons- one it forces me to find new trails instead of just sticking to the same ones I know. Two, it makes finding new trails easy, especially with the filters. And third, it makes me feel safe because I can download the map before I go and when I’m on the trail with no reception, I can track exactly where I am and where I’m headed - it’s saved us quite a few times from getting lost on some of the trails! Couple of suggestions: 1) have a “daily report” that people can update in regards to conditions of that hike on that particular day/week (don’t always want to scour reviews for that) - we went on a hike that was incredibly overgrown over the summer and encountered a bees nest in the midst of it and really did not enjoy it. 2) be able to tick off trails we have done and have a “past trails” list or “history” list that isn’t tied to recordings or anything. Otherwise, great job! Thanks!

Awesome but Expensive. I love many things about All Trails, including the detailed descriptions, maps, and user reviews on the different hikes. However, I think it’s a bit sad, and a little messed up, that you have to pay so much money to be able to download a trail. I feel this way because on many trails, you lose service, and without service, you can’t open this app to see if you are on the right path. Moreover, getting lost without service is one of the most dangerous times to get lost! So, I wish they would let you download at least a few maps with the free version. Otherwise, this app is pointless once you are actually on the trail, unless you pay the fee, which isn’t even a one-time fee. We use a different app when actually are hiking so that we can see where we are going, but All Trails is great to plan hikes and get an idea of what sort of views and challenges you will come across!

Amazing app and customer support. I am not surprised to see this app is a highly rated one with no negatives to boot. Over the years I inadvertently had created a few accounts with different sign-ins as I had forgotten the previous one’s credentials. I had pretty much given up on trying to remember them all and decided to contact the “dreaded support link” feature. I didn’t think I’d get resolution because of other app customer service. Well I was very wrong. I was contacted within a few hours and with some quick back and forth emails I was back connected! It didn’t stop there and this very nice CSR saw my other errant accounts and to my continued surprise, merged them for me. I can’t say enough how greatful to have this kingd of support. Now I can see my data in one spot AllTrails is the best! Well worth the subscription fee.

Invaluable Tool. Just “broke in” the AllTrails app on our first hike of 2020...and can immediately see, this is going to be an invaluable tool. I’m genuinely regretting my delay in getting this, subscribing to the PRO, and allowing this app to fully enhance our hiking experiences. No more! On our first use...even beyond the amazing stats...we experienced the significance of the “off trail” warning provided by the app. Based off of the use of the GPS system (cell signal NOT required)...we inadvertently missed a turn. Not realizing it...”the beep” that I thought was a text message coming through from someone...? It was the app signaling to me that we were off the trail. Saved us who knows how much time and effort. So many reason to upgrade to PRO...but considering the significant hikes associated with our ADK 46’er journey we’ll be undertaking...I can’t imaging hiking without it. Thank you All Trails!!!

New feature suggestion. Love the app - using it for years. Would love to see the addition of being able to give another party the ability to track my hiking in real time. I’m 75 and hike several times a week year round - my wife worries about being able to locate me if I don’t return or have trouble. Would love it if she could just see where I’m progressing. Sometimes my daughter wants to join me midhike and would be nice for her to see my path. Another suggestion. On a number of the Dartmouth Natural Resources Trust (DNRT) trails I hike there are marked trails and heavily used but not named trails on DNRT maps that do not appear on the Alltrails maps of the same area. -anyway to offer organizations the ability to submit maps? Can you just identify additional trails by analyzing user data?

This APP is a MUST. If you are someone who likes to get out into the wild this app is a must!! I used the free version of this app for years, and while it was amazing to help me find trails, I really started to see how amazing this app was once I paid for the upgrade!! The free version: -Super great and helps you track your trail so if you go off trail you can use it to find your way back (even without service) - Also gives you access to a bunch of trails that google doesn’t pick up! - Shows you the stats of each hike you take (distance, elevation, etc) The upgraded version: (so so worth it in my opinion) - You can download your trail map so you can see it without service!! With the free version it’d record your trail but you couldn’t see the actual map so that’s been a huge game changer!! - Let’s you connect your all trails map to your Apple/google maps to direct you to the trail. THIS alone is so worth the $$. With the free version it was so hard to find the trail if it wasn’t a super big popular one with signs. Like looking for a little trail in the middle of a Forrest was near impossible because you’d loose your map once you lost service. There’s so much more but those are the two features that really made it worth it for me!! Happy trailing!!!!

Premium is worth it. I am making an effort to be more active, and this app is phenomenal at facilitating this. Trails are reviewed by people who actually took them. You have the option to record your hike to document the distance and time, so they’re confirmed by the app. Yesterday I went on a hike that was not clearly marked, and the app saved me from going down the wrong path. It gave me a push notification when I went off trail. You can also download the offline map so you have the trail map and your location even if you don’t have service. There’s also a built-in feature to contact emergency services for rescue. There are maps with the trail, topography, and satellite maps. If you want to branch out and explore new trails, this app is essential. I am going to recommend it to everybody.

It’s a pretty good app. The maps are good, you can find lots of hikes already on the map or just create your own and suggest the trail be added. One of my BIGGEST complaints is that you can not ask questions or comment on peoples reviews. You can’t direct message people... why??? What if you’d like to know some information someone just hiked a trail could answer for you? Or try to meet up with other members for hikes? Or just comment and praise other people for their reviews and photos? Really a huge downfall so I had to remove a star for that. Additionally, it’s crazy how you can NOT drop pins, or markers to mark different locations, potential campsites, shelters, water sources, bridges, downed trees or passages blocked. And you can NOT click on any of the map details for information. Very basic short comings... :/ It would be great if these could be future updates, people could search for pins others have dropped, water sources and shelters. Users could verify one another by confirming those things are accurate and there, earning points and giving other people searching for pins the options to pick from the most reliable pins (most verified) or most reliable people (person that always leave correct information) this would also boost followers for people that are active and add this useful information.

Good to find hikes, not great to navigate. This app has been fantastic in helping me find new hikes and developing my new found love of hiking over the past year. The user reviews and photos are helpful, directions are generally good using google maps and very helpful to download the trail maps with gps of your location. The record function needs to be improved. I generally use this to navigate new hikes, especially those with lots of offshoots. Unfortunately when I lock my phone the app doesn’t notify when I’ve gone off the trail until I open it again. I’ve tried using on my Apple Watch, but have had problems with the record function stopping my existing recording (and then am forced to rate the hike before I can restart) and expanding the map to something I can actually see on the watch. This seems to have gotten worse with the recent update and generally means keeping your phone unlocked for the duration of the hike.

Love it. I love using AllTrails however, sometimes the mileage is inaccurate. I also wish that they had an iPhone widget to start tracking a hike without having to go through the app. I tend to forget to start tracking a hike until after I’ve started. Having a widget on the Home Screen would make it so much easier to remember. I think my favorite feature is that you can build your own map (I think this is a paid for feature however). As a naturalist who has to plan hikes for groups, this feature helps me to plan routes that many people wouldn’t think to take because it’s not an already established route. It also gives an estimated mileage which is helpful, but you do have to be mindful that in order to have the most accurate mileage, one needs to add a lot of points along the route to account for any smaller curves that you can’t see unless you’re zoomed in.

Bait and Switch on Lifetime Pro. If you purchased a few years ago like me, you may now be experiencing the push to upgrade to Pro. Reached out to customer support and they were argumentative and combative after I submitted the documentation they request. I provided my receipt from original purchase as well as a screen shot of my expired apps to show that no where on the receipt did it say it was a 3 year subscription and it also never auto renewed or expired like my other subscriptions. After submitting the documentation, the rep was rude and stated that the receipt didn’t say it was for a lifetime membership. It did not. It all did it say it was for a 3 year membership and the app wasn’t treated like a subscription app like all of my forgers (ie My Fitness Pal). It’s not my fault they started off with a bad business model, but it is their fault that they did and now aren’t honoring. I recommend you use Gaia GPS or one of the other apps. The offline maps for Gaia are better and no bait and switch with the subscription.

Missing essential features for backcountry. This app is focused around specific route following, trail rating and calorie counting. It is not good for general purpose exploration, hunting, fishing, and bushwhacking. Most notably, It is not possible to place persistent point-of-interest pins on the map from the app. This means that you cannot mark your parking, campsite, cache etc before you begin your hike. The activity mode, where you can place temporary POI pins, is leaving breadcrumbs by continually querying GPS so presumably eats up battery. Even then The poi markers do not persist on the map after you complete the activity. So, again, no way to place useful pins for an extended trip. When you complete an activity the app has you rate it and add comments, presumably to crowd source their database. This is tedious You cannot download a region of trails, for instance if you are going to a park with limited phone service, you’d have to manually click on all the trails you might want to check out before you get there. On iPad, the app is stuck in portrait mode. Annoying. The quality and veracity of the maps is high and the trail maps and info are useful for hikes on established routes. Make sure to thoroughly try out the free version before subscribing. It’s aimed at day hikes and calorie counters. There are better options out there for general purpose navigation.
