Hiking Project

My favorite hiking app. Live tracking and route elevation graph work well.

This app is good if your looking at a particular trail. But it says there’s 0 trails by me. I live within walking distance to 3 major trails not on this app. And if you use the filter to find trails you have to be specific. You can’t check all distances and see all distances. If you put the max distance, you’ll see those trails only. Max distance is 20miles. You can’t put 20 miles and get all trails from 1 mile to 20. So unless you know the distance of the trail you won’t get options.

Used the app this week to hike around central California. Great crowdsourced resource. Worked very well. Planning to use it on the climb to Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles next.

The app works even when you don’t have signal. It has helped me find my way on more then one occasion.

I’ve always loved this app. Recent updates have messed with the map performance though. There’s a lot of lag when scrolling and especially zooming in when a trail is visible.

The app has been crashing every time I open it in the past few days. A week ago the app worked great for a 5 mile hike through the woods with no cellular service. Today, it won’t even load fully before crashing.

I live in one of the best hiking areas of the country, yet the app shows zero results. Not working or can’t easily be fixed within a minute or two? No problem: DELETE. There are way too many apps in the world (and on my iPhone). The world (and my phone) are a little better every time an app is deleted.

App closes/freezes when attempting to record a hike. Had d/l’d the state map, no cell signal. Was able to see the trail on the app, but once I tried to start record, it just wouldn’t.

What a useful app. I love it and am thankful to be able to download maps so it can be used when there is no cell service.

The important parts are all there. The map tracking is excellent. There are some glitches on changing pages, and some touch features, it seems to me. Such a great resource. Thanks you!!!
