Need a little better instruction for different aspects and inputting information.
What a rip off. I am many many of the routes available. I paid for each one individually. I’ve come back to this app after a while and find that I no longer own those routes and have to subscribe monthly or yearly from something I have already paid for. Shame on FarOut 🙁
The one thing I wish was available in app would be the ability to share your location with other app users. Sometimes it would be really beneficial to know if part of your tramily is just up ahead or how far behind they are if you want to pace yourself. Obviously, the ability to toggle this on or off for each individual user your following would be crucial for safety.
This app is awesome. along with the trail map and elevation my main two concerns are where can I camp at and where can I get water at. A bonus is having comments on those to know if the stream is still running and if the campsites are big enough for multiple tents. this app has those however it just shows you where a campsite is without giving you details of the number of tents you can put in it. Sometimes you can see that in the comments, but it would be nice to have a number next to the campsite. My main downside to this app is it is very limited to specific trails. Mainly to long distance through hikes or very popular long-distance trails. There are many trails near where I live that are 10 to 30 miles long but are not on this app. so I find myself constantly using other apps because of this.
I’ve found this app essential for hiking the AT. The GPS function is especially reassuring.
I have been using this app since 2017. Guthook’s guide was great and useful. Since Atlas Guides purchased the app, it is no longer reliable. Last week, I was out near the PCT in Washington. I had downloaded the appropriate section on my new phone and even managed to do a couple of check ins before the app froze every time I tried to use it. I tried force closing it and restarting with no luck. I even tried shutting down my phone and restarting it, but still the app froze as soon as I turned on GPS. I sent a troubleshooting request to the developer last Thursday from my iPad, because I couldn’t send one from the frozen app on my phone. Clearly Atlas Guides doesn’t care. If I was depending on this app to navigate, I would truly be lost. I will never be able to trust them again.
Day 2 of my 4 day backpacking trip, the app decided to stop working. Like I would try to locate myself via GPS and it would freeze then crash. Thank GOD I downloaded my map on Gaia, which was perfectly reliable. Love the tent site/water source feature and comments but it’s pretty much useless if I can’t see where I am while I’m out in the remote wilderness (or use any of the aforementioned functions after I try to locate myself since it froze). Don’t appreciate it! Big thumbs down
A must have for hitting the trail
As a section hiker, I don’t have the luxury of simply staying on the Appalachian Trail and getting off and on at towns. I need to be able to enter and exit the trail and find easy parking. So it’s often frustrating for me to use FarOut to find places to enter and exit the trail because it ONLY shows the AT. None of the trails that connect up with it. Also, there are several places that were dubbed “parking spots” and I was like “ummm with what? A plow truck!?!” So I have to give it 3 stars. Otherwise, I’m happy with the app.
