AllTrails: Hike, Bike & Run

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!

Reading the reviews on here from a few months ago, I’m assuming they’ve fixed the issues and updated it since then because I’m on an iphone7 and it always loads within a minute on my phone, I think people are accustomed to super fast things but if you think of what the app is loading you’d expect to wait just a few seconds longer. I found this app recently by just looking around for a trail app as I moved to a new area and really just need to find new little spots. I’ve used this app four times in the first week and already upgraded to pro for the offline capabilities and to just use it to its full potential. I love that people can review as I go highly off the reviews for what I’m looking for. Every trail I’ve found I’ve loved for different reasons and I’m literally telling everyone I know that hikes to check into it and no one has recommended another one, so I’m not sure how many awesome trail apps are actually out there but I think for beginner to pro this app will cover it for you. I haven’t linked it to my Apple Watch yet. Probably won’t. I’m going to have my phone in my backpack anyways so if I need to follow a trail I’ll make sure I’m prepared to do so ahead of my walk, especially if I suspect no service. Just have to be prepared! This app has literally been a game changer for me and my outdoor cardio and for the soul, Can’t beat being in nature (with a little guidance)! Super excited to see where the developers keep going with it but hoping they don’t end up making it super annoying with fancy stuff we don’t necessarily need!

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.
