AllTrails saved me a rescue.
Jan 25, 2021 A couple years back I took on an ambitious 13 mile day hike by myself on beautiful sunny day in the Colorado Rockies. While I was familiar with the area, I had never done this specific route before. I had not brought a compass or my SpotX (dumb move) so I had AllTrails pulled up running in the background of my phone so I could refer to the GPS on the map. I had made it over the mountain pass and was making my way down the other side back down to treeline to discover the trail had been washed out. I didn’t think anything of it and started following the creek thinking it ‘ah it’s probably just down here.’ I walked about a half mile before I realized I wasn’t in the right place. I got completely turned around and had no idea which way led back up to where I came from and I had zero cell service. After a brief moment of panic, I remembered I had AllTrails was running so I pulled out my phone and slowly but surely followed the little blue dot as I moved through the woods. According to the map, it was close but I still couldn’t see it. After about 15 minutes, I heard voices and saw people walking above me. I had found the trail! I bushwacked up, took a deep breath and continued on my way. Thanks to AllTrails, I manage to right my path and get back to where I need to be. While it’s not accurate 100% of the time, it truly is a great resource.more -
Apr 15, 2021 So many good finds using this app! One of my most used apps on my phone. Once in awhile the directions to get somewhere can be a little off but that's probably less than 3% of the time and if you look at the reviews people will tell you what to actually do to get to where you're headed. This has been game changer however I love it!more -
Few issues lately. Oct 2018
Oct 11, 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.more -
Mar 28, 2021 I haven't used it on trail yet, but it looks promising, I will review soon. Update...I have been using AllTrails everywhere during my travels. It's the best thing since bread, cheese and wine (for a picnic on the trail that is). Update: I bought the pro version and it is a very disappointing experience. It is supposed to track you down with the GPS, but no such thing I couldn't find the trailsmore -
Great app with one major flaw
May 5, 2020 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.more

Mar 28, 2021 Dont get me wrong, the app is great if you have internet connection. Once you loose service the app doesn't display the map evem if you have already download it. So, it becomes kind of useless for offline use. It is a bit pricey for occasional hike. It used to be able to use other map apps like Here to get driving directions to the hike you were planning to do but, now it defaults to Google Maps. Not everyone is using Google Maps for navigation.more -
Mar 28, 2021 Very mediocre app. It does have real time following. That's the only good thing about it. Requiring a yearly fee for downloads was a rip-off. And downloading didn't give any significant additional functionality as far as navigation, and that's what I cared about. I might as well have used a downloaded map from the internet, which are available free for many trails. Mehmore -
Apr 4, 2021 You're better off sticking to the website. In the app if you want to click on a trailhead that has multiple hikes it makes you zoom in to the closest possible zoom just to 'explode' the pinhead so you can select a hike. Then to actually see the hike on the map you have to zoom out and most of the time when you zoom out it deselects the trail so you accomplish nothing. The website lets you explode pins and select hikes from the 30,000 foot level and therefore does not have this problem.more -
Apr 15, 2021 Created a map and prepared a month for my thru hike. Bought the pro version and starting now without any internet connection, and seems to crash in every way possible. Wants to download the map over and over again, won't load into recording and lifeline crashes as well. I've downloaded the map many times before with connection but it never seemed it was actually downloaded. Now I have nothing and frustrated on the trailmore -
Mar 27, 2021 The app used to work properly, but it sucks now. Just try to download a trail map. The download never stops, and there is no way to cancel it. It is still downloading after a week!!!!! That is very unlikely that they are unaware of such a big issue. Still have all the different troubles that one might experience when using an app. Even the sign in part of the app does not work. The app is completely dysfunctional.more

MUST HAVE APP!
Jul 24, 2020 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!more -
Never Ending Trails
Aug 7, 2018 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!more

Good app, but ...
Jul 24, 2020 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.more -
Apr 4, 2021 Great app, used it a ton during the pandemic, however me and my hiking partner both wish that an update would come, where you could check off the places you've been to.. we've hiked so many in our area, but can't remember all the names, so that is definitely something that would be a game changer!more -
Get the Details, Hike with Confidence!
Sep 6, 2020 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!more

Apr 11, 2021 I've loved using this app over the past year to help me find new trails and destinations for hiking, get tips from other hikers regarding parking and directions, and keep track of where I am. I went ahead and purchased Pro when the Christmas sale was going on so I could continue using AllTrails when I had no service, but since then I've had an issue of My Lists and the trails on them not loading, or taking several minutes to load - which is preventing me from using this app to the fullest.more -
Mar 31, 2021 I love this app and still use it a lot. previous issues have been fixed, thank you. my current issue, that I've noticed for awhile now, is that it takes several minutes (if at all) for photos of a trail to load. usually I just give up and log in on a computer if I'm near one.more -
Maps on watch need improvements
Feb 18, 2020 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!more -
Will be looking for another app...
Dec 17, 2020 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.more -
Apr 11, 2021 I would've given this app 5 stars until recently. But the last 3 hikes I've gone on in the last week the GPS has been inaccurate. Once got us completely lost, one had us off the trail, and another stopped working. We've downloaded the map before going and still having issues. Not sure I'll keep this app.more
-
Mar 28, 2021 Dont get me wrong, the app is great if you have internet connection. Once you loose service the app doesn't display the map evem if you have already download it. So, it becomes kind of useless for offline use. It is a bit pricey for occasional hike. It used to be able to use other map apps like Here to get driving directions to the hike you were planning to do but, now it defaults to Google Maps. Not everyone is using Google Maps for navigation.more -
Mar 28, 2021 Very mediocre app. It does have real time following. That's the only good thing about it. Requiring a yearly fee for downloads was a rip-off. And downloading didn't give any significant additional functionality as far as navigation, and that's what I cared about. I might as well have used a downloaded map from the internet, which are available free for many trails. Mehmore -
Apr 3, 2021 I'm seeing a lot of users experiencing the same issues I have with this app, especially pro features. My biggest complaint is not getting the map to show in real time while recording my hike. I also used the download function a couple of times (downloading at home on wifi) only to find it useless on the trail. The developers seem to offer a lot of apologies, but no real fixes.more -
Offline/map browsing of trails frustrating
Nov 21, 2020 I paid for pro but it is not living up to expectations. My main gripe is the main map browsing experience and offline mode. I use trailforks for mountain biking and really appreciate being able to download all maps for a state at once and then when using it, offline is not something I have to think about. Not so with this - I have multiple times forgotten to download maps and been out of luck. And recently I thought I could just get by with the base map but when I pulled it up and started to look at it the map was replaced with a blank screen with offline warning. I practically threw my phone because why on earth could the useful map not be left there for me to look at. This is for hiking and trails don’t have cell service often so I find it somewhat inexcusable that offline mode is so second rate.more -
Wish the map actually showed the trails
Sep 20, 2020 I have paid for other trail subscriptions through other companies and I feel like this one is really lacking in one area. At least for a paid subscription you should be able to see trail outlines when viewing a map of all the trails in an area, not just a circle defining a trail is arbitrarily in that area. All of the trails should be visible in the full scale map with more detail shown the further you are zoomed in. I should be able to see not just a dot of the trailhead on the main map but also the trail and with the ability to click the trail. This makes it much easier to understand where a trail will go without needing to click on every single trail to understand if it’s the trail that goes up over the ridge or up to the lake in the area. Until this feature is added, I won’t be satisfied with the app.more
-
Apr 4, 2021 You're better off sticking to the website. In the app if you want to click on a trailhead that has multiple hikes it makes you zoom in to the closest possible zoom just to 'explode' the pinhead so you can select a hike. Then to actually see the hike on the map you have to zoom out and most of the time when you zoom out it deselects the trail so you accomplish nothing. The website lets you explode pins and select hikes from the 30,000 foot level and therefore does not have this problem.more -
Apr 15, 2021 Created a map and prepared a month for my thru hike. Bought the pro version and starting now without any internet connection, and seems to crash in every way possible. Wants to download the map over and over again, won't load into recording and lifeline crashes as well. I've downloaded the map many times before with connection but it never seemed it was actually downloaded. Now I have nothing and frustrated on the trailmore -
Mar 27, 2021 The app used to work properly, but it sucks now. Just try to download a trail map. The download never stops, and there is no way to cancel it. It is still downloading after a week!!!!! That is very unlikely that they are unaware of such a big issue. Still have all the different troubles that one might experience when using an app. Even the sign in part of the app does not work. The app is completely dysfunctional.more -
Apr 1, 2021 Disappointed. This was the first time using this app. About a week I spent time doing the research, downloadED different versions of the map so I could use it off line. I get to my hike destination, no downloaded maps. The app wouldn't even load for me to try and get a fraction of an idea where to go. I had purchased the premium just so I could download the maps. I'm extremely pissed. I should be able to rely on a product. Thank God I had my Onx-Offroad app and was able to track going in and outmore -
Buyer Beware
Jul 24, 2019 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!more
What’s Groovy
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!

What’s Subpar
I pay to download maps, but they rarely work offline. The driving directions feature regularly takes you to somewhere other than the trailhead. You should be able to see how far you've gone on the trail without having to drag you're finger along the map. It seems like no effort is put into this app, but they have a bit of a monopoly. When the app requested feedback, my review repeatedly failed to send, so you can't provide negative feedback.

AllTrails saved me a rescue.
A couple years back I took on an ambitious 13 mile day hike by myself on beautiful sunny day in the Colorado Rockies. While I was familiar with the area, I had never done this specific route before. I had not brought a compass or my SpotX (dumb move) so I had AllTrails pulled up running in the background of my phone so I could refer to the GPS on the map. I had made it over the mountain pass and was making my way down the other side back down to treeline to discover the trail had been washed out. I didn’t think anything of it and started following the creek thinking it ‘ah it’s probably just down here.’ I walked about a half mile before I realized I wasn’t in the right place. I got completely turned around and had no idea which way led back up to where I came from and I had zero cell service. After a brief moment of panic, I remembered I had AllTrails was running so I pulled out my phone and slowly but surely followed the little blue dot as I moved through the woods. According to the map, it was close but I still couldn’t see it. After about 15 minutes, I heard voices and saw people walking above me. I had found the trail! I bushwacked up, took a deep breath and continued on my way. Thanks to AllTrails, I manage to right my path and get back to where I need to be. While it’s not accurate 100% of the time, it truly is a great resource. -
So many good finds using this app! One of my most used apps on my phone. Once in awhile the directions to get somewhere can be a little off but that's probably less than 3% of the time and if you look at the reviews people will tell you what to actually do to get to where you're headed. This has been game changer however I love it!

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. -
I haven't used it on trail yet, but it looks promising, I will review soon. Update...I have been using AllTrails everywhere during my travels. It's the best thing since bread, cheese and wine (for a picnic on the trail that is). Update: I bought the pro version and it is a very disappointing experience. It is supposed to track you down with the GPS, but no such thing I couldn't find the trails

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. -
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! -
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. -
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! -
Great app, used it a ton during the pandemic, however me and my hiking partner both wish that an update would come, where you could check off the places you've been to.. we've hiked so many in our area, but can't remember all the names, so that is definitely something that would be a game changer!

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.

This app helps me keep track of my progress. It is great for finding new trails
-
Pretty good app shows lots of trails if you want to get out and explore
-
I really enjoy this app. It helps me navigate on poorly marked trails with fresh snow fall. I've always found the trail on this app for information needed for my hike. Recommend this app.
-
Excellent navigation tool
-
It would be good to have a dog-free option on this app. Some people dislike dogs (and their faeces left behind on the ground, or their poop bags thrown into the bushes). I would give the app more stars if this was available.
-
Great app
-
Love this app, but I keep encountering a bug where I save a recording, fill out a name, upload some pics, etc, and the next time I open the app. It's asking me to save that recording from last time again, so I have to type out a name, description, pics, etc all over again. Everything else works great, just this issue can get pretty annoying.
-
I really love this app and as an avid hiker, I use it a LOT! I occasionally have had some crashing issue when loading additional layers. I do wish that it was smoother to add on additional trails as you hike instead of having to silence alerts or build the trails ahead of time online - we're always combining trails to get in additional mileage and elevation. It would also be nice to have estimated time of completion type information available, maybe with daylight alerts? :-) Love the app!

A global app
No matter where I am in the world I can rely on AllTrails. I hike with confidence that I won’t get lost. The new update with an arrow pointing toward the direction of travel is a nice upgrade especially when your at summit with 360 choices. -
Nice feature to track walks even if not on a known hiking path.

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. -
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. -
FINALLY! After trying at least three other mapping apps, AllTails works with my Samsung Galaxy J7 Star. I did three short hikes this week with the free version of AllTrails without glitches and even managed to navigate my way back to the trailhead. Other apps have logged out and back excursions, adding bogus miles to my hikes. Hopefully, AllTrails will keep up the good work.
-
Best hiking app! I use this religiously when hiking. Helps me find all the trails in my area and so helpful for planning trips. Took a trip to providence state park and the trails weren't really marked in any way and this wa as so helpful with finding the best paths and staying on course. I just wish the filters included x number of miles from y zipcode so I could find all the hikes close to me. The zoom feature is helpful but not quite there.

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. -
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. -
Great app, used it a ton during the pandemic, however me and my hiking partner both wish that an update would come, where you could check off the places you've been to.. we've hiked so many in our area, but can't remember all the names, so that is definitely something that would be a game changer!

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! -
Great, So Helpful!
Love this app, especially the pro version where I can download the maps so I don’t have to use data. I’ve found so many trails that I didn’t even know about. Gives you the ability to look at photos of the trails you want to hike and post your own once you completed it. Directions to the trails, sharing, and also printing out maps of the trails you want to hike. There are a few bugs in this latest update. One, the app will just close on you randomly. Second, it’ll get stuck on trail page, won’t let me close it when I click on the X in the corner, so then I have to close and reopen. Also, it will give me a completed trail even though it’s not the trail I just hiked, so it says I completed two trails even though I did just like the one. Part of the trail it says I completed is part of the one I actually did, but not all, so this needs to be fixed as well. Then my recording of the trail I actually hiked is linked to the other trail, so I edit it to link it to the trail I actually hiked but then my recording won’t show up in my review. So many great features in this app though, and I will definitely come back here and give it 5 stars once they fix the issues above. Still highly recommended though. -
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. -
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. -
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!! -
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.

I've loved using this app over the past year to help me find new trails and destinations for hiking, get tips from other hikers regarding parking and directions, and keep track of where I am. I went ahead and purchased Pro when the Christmas sale was going on so I could continue using AllTrails when I had no service, but since then I've had an issue of My Lists and the trails on them not loading, or taking several minutes to load - which is preventing me from using this app to the fullest.
-
I love this app and still use it a lot. previous issues have been fixed, thank you. my current issue, that I've noticed for awhile now, is that it takes several minutes (if at all) for photos of a trail to load. usually I just give up and log in on a computer if I'm near one.

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! -
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. -
I would've given this app 5 stars until recently. But the last 3 hikes I've gone on in the last week the GPS has been inaccurate. Once got us completely lost, one had us off the trail, and another stopped working. We've downloaded the map before going and still having issues. Not sure I'll keep this app.

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. -
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. -
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. -
Awesome, with on glaring shortcoming
For finding trails, hiking, and navigating, there is no better app. I’m still partial to CalTopo for bigger expeditions and ski touring but for day hikes and short backpacking trips, Alltrails is my go to. Unfortunately, I always seem to have trouble opening the map and getting to my downloaded map layer when I’m out hiking. Usually I don’t have service and so when I open the app it just sits there, loading nothing. Just blank. It’s so infuriating. I usually have to start toggling airplane mode on and off a few times and force closing the app before it finally works. For an App that is designed to be used in the backcountry, why not build in an offline mode that works well??? Or better yet, when I download a map layer for a trail, let me “pin it” so whenever I reopen the app, it’s the first thing that loads and all I have to do is wait for my GPS fix to lock in. None of this messing with airplane mode, restarting the app, clicking on the trail thumbnail, making the map fullscreen, etc. -
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.

Dont get me wrong, the app is great if you have internet connection. Once you loose service the app doesn't display the map evem if you have already download it. So, it becomes kind of useless for offline use. It is a bit pricey for occasional hike. It used to be able to use other map apps like Here to get driving directions to the hike you were planning to do but, now it defaults to Google Maps. Not everyone is using Google Maps for navigation.
-
Very mediocre app. It does have real time following. That's the only good thing about it. Requiring a yearly fee for downloads was a rip-off. And downloading didn't give any significant additional functionality as far as navigation, and that's what I cared about. I might as well have used a downloaded map from the internet, which are available free for many trails. Meh

You're better off sticking to the website. In the app if you want to click on a trailhead that has multiple hikes it makes you zoom in to the closest possible zoom just to 'explode' the pinhead so you can select a hike. Then to actually see the hike on the map you have to zoom out and most of the time when you zoom out it deselects the trail so you accomplish nothing. The website lets you explode pins and select hikes from the 30,000 foot level and therefore does not have this problem.

Created a map and prepared a month for my thru hike. Bought the pro version and starting now without any internet connection, and seems to crash in every way possible. Wants to download the map over and over again, won't load into recording and lifeline crashes as well. I've downloaded the map many times before with connection but it never seemed it was actually downloaded. Now I have nothing and frustrated on the trail
-
The app used to work properly, but it sucks now. Just try to download a trail map. The download never stops, and there is no way to cancel it. It is still downloading after a week!!!!! That is very unlikely that they are unaware of such a big issue. Still have all the different troubles that one might experience when using an app. Even the sign in part of the app does not work. The app is completely dysfunctional.
-
I'm seeing a lot of users experiencing the same issues I have with this app, especially pro features. My biggest complaint is not getting the map to show in real time while recording my hike. I also used the download function a couple of times (downloading at home on wifi) only to find it useless on the trail. The developers seem to offer a lot of apologies, but no real fixes.
-
Disappointed. This was the first time using this app. About a week I spent time doing the research, downloadED different versions of the map so I could use it off line. I get to my hike destination, no downloaded maps. The app wouldn't even load for me to try and get a fraction of an idea where to go. I had purchased the premium just so I could download the maps. I'm extremely pissed. I should be able to rely on a product. Thank God I had my Onx-Offroad app and was able to track going in and out

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! -
Issues with subscription
Although I have requested tech support, it has been about a week, and they have still been unable to fix my issues. I had app through Apple store, with the pro subscription due to expire on 7/3. I bought the 3 year special through email/apple ID last week to ensure no gap in coverage. 1st, the 3 year subscription was not reflected in my account. Then they found the account, and subscription was fixed, but all my history and maps were lost. Then they say they had to merge some anonymous account ID with the existing account, which then gave me my history/maps, but lost my 3 year subscription (that I paid for). Needless to say, the 3rd of July has now passed, and my subscription now shows expired. At this point, I am ready to give up on this App, and just want my money back. I was backcountry hiking this weekend, where signal is non existent, but thanks to all these issues, I was forced to use a competitors service that could provide support. -
Long Time User Pro Account
A few times the app doesn’t load. I’m currently trying to load it on my upgraded home WiFi and gray screen. It’s been happening more often lately. I check my WiFi speed and opened google, CNN, watched videos lightening fast so it is not my WiFi. It’s happening more and more recently and it’s frustrating. Especially for a paid app. Something changed. And I’m reading others posted similar. I was raving about your app and that will cease as this issue you’re having is continuing to worsen. And contact your support team... as recommended in prior review. Is unacceptable. It’s your issue your developer and taking subscriptions you figure it out and you waste your time not mine. I downloaded Mt Maggie / lakes maps in Springville Ca and plan to start in 6 hours. Now all is useless just a blank grayed out screen. Fix your issues please so I can once again enjoy it. Fellow hikers dumped your app because of issues I’m holding out hope. Thank You
-
You don't find out that you have to pay for it until you sign up. Uninstalled it about 1 minute after I installed it Got reply back from developers and tried again! Found a free version after skipping past the request to pay. Still useless to me. I have a map that shows a "QR Code" to get the route details. When I scan the QR code it takes me to this App, and no where does it show me, or give me, the information on this particular route. Nothing. Nowhere does it mention it. DELETED AGAIN
-
I do not understand why they are not allowing for GPX download from the app (I am a paid user). I have to use the freaking website, desktop version (not moibile) to download the file which is very annoying. EDIT after editor's reply: Yes I know that!

Not so friendly. Difficult to find a trail and it doesn't work offline. To cancel on Android phone, pls just hv a button to unsubscribe on the Alltrails page itself.

Annoying update
Super annoyed with being FORCED to rate, post pics, rename, comment, and THEN tap a high-five! Seriously, I don’t have time for that! Usually I have a baby on my hip and I want to end my recording! In addition, anytime I pause, for some reason I miss the continue button, or whatever it is and usually, too quickly, hit save. And o have to restart the clock. Otherwise, I absolutely LOVE this app and use it daily, sometimes more than twice a day! Awesome job on this app, it’s just that stuff I commented on above that I am fed up with! -
Buggy!!! Ruined a good app
Discrepancies all over the place. Impossible to just “record a hike”. As a paid member I have wasted money. Fitbit is actually more reliable. Roll it back 2 versions. -
Useless
You have to have your phone with you to use with Apple Watch, that makes this app useless to me! -
Used to be good
This used to be a good app but the new navigation mode is horrible. Previously I could record a walk with a click to start and a click to stop, plus additional steps that were optional.. Now I am forced to select an activity, start the walk, stop it with a long pause, finish, add a MANDATORY rating (even if I am not sharing), click through adding a photo, click through a route name, and click through comments. I am not making this up. -
Bugs in April 2021 update
**update 4/18/21** Since the latest update a few days ago, the app crashes during recordings, especially when you switch to your camera app to take pics. (Not everyone wants to take pictures directly through the app for a variety of reasons.) This is resulting in me losing some data and not being able to capture the full distance of my hikes since I have to periodically check to be sure it’s still recording. This is annoying and if I have to keep doing that eventually I’m going to give up and either use another app or just not bother with tracking my mileage. Additionally, why did the “pace” metric go away? This was actually a cool feature that had some safety benefits. More than once, I used this to make a decision to turn back or take a turnoff to a shorter loop when it was clear that my current pace would keep me out longer than anticipated. Usually this was just because I had somewhere else to be but it has a couple of times help me judge when I would be out still with daylight fading at my current pace. Also, when is the condescending and unnecessary “high-five, you did it!” going to finally go away when saving the recording? Do appreciate that the Orwellian sounding “reputation score” now appears to be defunct. **old review below** I’ve loved and used AllTrails for more than a year now. I don’t understand the point behind some of the latest enhancements. For example, I don’t understand why I have to name every recording now. I preferred having the default name be the date for recordings that weren’t associated witv a specific trail. But, nevertheless, this is a great app and will continue to be my mainstay for recording hikes and walks. -
Used to be good, but the latest update makes maps unreadable. The maps automatically zoom in to put trailheads at the edges of the map. Then fights you when you try to zoom out and automatically goes back to the super close zoom. You can't see the route at all.
-
Good app, destroyed interface
This app was pretty good until they changed everything in v13.0.0 It is difficult to chose own map, and even if your own map has chosen activity you’ll be asked which activity you’re recording. Previously it was easy to take photos along the way. Now it requires several actions to take, make long pause in your activity and bother with the app justo get a photo taken.

Offline/map browsing of trails frustrating
I paid for pro but it is not living up to expectations. My main gripe is the main map browsing experience and offline mode. I use trailforks for mountain biking and really appreciate being able to download all maps for a state at once and then when using it, offline is not something I have to think about. Not so with this - I have multiple times forgotten to download maps and been out of luck. And recently I thought I could just get by with the base map but when I pulled it up and started to look at it the map was replaced with a blank screen with offline warning. I practically threw my phone because why on earth could the useful map not be left there for me to look at. This is for hiking and trails don’t have cell service often so I find it somewhat inexcusable that offline mode is so second rate. -
Wish the map actually showed the trails
I have paid for other trail subscriptions through other companies and I feel like this one is really lacking in one area. At least for a paid subscription you should be able to see trail outlines when viewing a map of all the trails in an area, not just a circle defining a trail is arbitrarily in that area. All of the trails should be visible in the full scale map with more detail shown the further you are zoomed in. I should be able to see not just a dot of the trailhead on the main map but also the trail and with the ability to click the trail. This makes it much easier to understand where a trail will go without needing to click on every single trail to understand if it’s the trail that goes up over the ridge or up to the lake in the area. Until this feature is added, I won’t be satisfied with the app. -
Great app BUT....
One major issue I find with this app. There’s a truly amazing feature called “Lifeline” within the app that lets you assign contacts to track your progress with real-time warnings and location. A literal lifesaver for people hiking all over, especially more dangerous terrain. However, in order to get the Lifeline feature, you must upgrade to Pro. Now, I actually wanted to buy All Trails Pro until I noticed they advertise you don’t get lifeline as a free user..... that’s just plain ridiculous and quite unprofessional. That’s a potentially lifesaving feature and you can only get it after an upgrade. In fact, lifeline isn’t even the reason I wanted to get Pro. It’s the overlays, but I refuse to upgrade to Pro until everyone gets lifeline. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic free app! Tons of trails available to look up and also lets you record your trip as well.

You're better off sticking to the website. In the app if you want to click on a trailhead that has multiple hikes it makes you zoom in to the closest possible zoom just to 'explode' the pinhead so you can select a hike. Then to actually see the hike on the map you have to zoom out and most of the time when you zoom out it deselects the trail so you accomplish nothing. The website lets you explode pins and select hikes from the 30,000 foot level and therefore does not have this problem.

Created a map and prepared a month for my thru hike. Bought the pro version and starting now without any internet connection, and seems to crash in every way possible. Wants to download the map over and over again, won't load into recording and lifeline crashes as well. I've downloaded the map many times before with connection but it never seemed it was actually downloaded. Now I have nothing and frustrated on the trail

The app used to work properly, but it sucks now. Just try to download a trail map. The download never stops, and there is no way to cancel it. It is still downloading after a week!!!!! That is very unlikely that they are unaware of such a big issue. Still have all the different troubles that one might experience when using an app. Even the sign in part of the app does not work. The app is completely dysfunctional.

Disappointed. This was the first time using this app. About a week I spent time doing the research, downloadED different versions of the map so I could use it off line. I get to my hike destination, no downloaded maps. The app wouldn't even load for me to try and get a fraction of an idea where to go. I had purchased the premium just so I could download the maps. I'm extremely pissed. I should be able to rely on a product. Thank God I had my Onx-Offroad app and was able to track going in and out

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! -
Issues with subscription
Although I have requested tech support, it has been about a week, and they have still been unable to fix my issues. I had app through Apple store, with the pro subscription due to expire on 7/3. I bought the 3 year special through email/apple ID last week to ensure no gap in coverage. 1st, the 3 year subscription was not reflected in my account. Then they found the account, and subscription was fixed, but all my history and maps were lost. Then they say they had to merge some anonymous account ID with the existing account, which then gave me my history/maps, but lost my 3 year subscription (that I paid for). Needless to say, the 3rd of July has now passed, and my subscription now shows expired. At this point, I am ready to give up on this App, and just want my money back. I was backcountry hiking this weekend, where signal is non existent, but thanks to all these issues, I was forced to use a competitors service that could provide support. -
Long Time User Pro Account
A few times the app doesn’t load. I’m currently trying to load it on my upgraded home WiFi and gray screen. It’s been happening more often lately. I check my WiFi speed and opened google, CNN, watched videos lightening fast so it is not my WiFi. It’s happening more and more recently and it’s frustrating. Especially for a paid app. Something changed. And I’m reading others posted similar. I was raving about your app and that will cease as this issue you’re having is continuing to worsen. And contact your support team... as recommended in prior review. Is unacceptable. It’s your issue your developer and taking subscriptions you figure it out and you waste your time not mine. I downloaded Mt Maggie / lakes maps in Springville Ca and plan to start in 6 hours. Now all is useless just a blank grayed out screen. Fix your issues please so I can once again enjoy it. Fellow hikers dumped your app because of issues I’m holding out hope. Thank You -
Horribly slow and super annoying startup
I’ve been using this app for awhile now and like its feature set and they provide frequent and useful feature updates. My only complaint is that every single time you start the app it initializes your trail data, which can be very frustrating. Particularly if you had the app closed to save battery life and need to make some quick routing decisions. I’m baffled as to why the process is so inordinately slow because there are numerous technical strategies that can be employed to short circuit the process and quickly determine whether an initialization/sync is in order. How about letting the user decide if they want to initialize/sync at that time instead of making them wait, sometimes minutes? (Question: If the mobile app is used on one device with only an occasional visit to the web app - what exactly needs to be initialized/synced every single time?) -
Extremely disappointed
I upgraded to the pro version of AllTrails because the AllTrails app won’t allow you to download trail maps unless you do. So under the impression that downloading maps meant I would have them for offline use, I paid for pro. After all why would you have a trail app that you couldn’t access trail maps offline when a lot of trails have no service. Anyway, I downloaded about 20 maps for Yosemite National Park after upgrading to pro thinking I would have all the trail info I need for my trip, but no dice! No maps worked when I got there because apparently downloading the map doesn’t mean you can access it offline. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed and also feel that forcing people to upgrade to pro to “download trail maps” is false advertisement because downloading something means you should have it for offline use. I would like a refund.
