5 ★ It's like alltrails but wayyyyy more free and better.
1 ★ Maps get to 93% and say incomplete. Huge bug that needs fixing. People rely on these offline maps when tackling extreme terrain. Big faux pas on most of the CO gov apps I've used... Smh
4 ★ my friend and I used this yesterday on a short hike. we were on a time crunch, but the app kept track of where we were, so when the switchbacks never seemed to end, we were able to use the app to see how much farther we had to go. I like the badges feature, expecily the one for litter. it reminds me of pokemonGo. only issue is I can't find a Que or 'to do' list.
5 ★ Excellent app! Two suggestions: - It would be useful if the app would continue to run in the background. If you turn the screen off and on the logo comes back in again and the app relaunches, this is very annoying when hiking. - It would be great if you could be able to rotate the map (like google maps) so that it faces the direction you are walking.
5 ★ Overall, I love this app! I love being able to download map sections for offline use without having to pay. I use it for every hike I do in Colorado. If it doesn't already have the option, (because I haven't tried yet) It would be nice to have every state have some kind of app similar to this and be compatible so hiking stats from out of state hikes can be saved in the same app. Otherwise, I will have to continue using All Trails everywhere else.
5 ★ Excellent trail map for ATV riding. We used it this past weekend for the first time and barely scratched the surface of it's functions. It was awesome to have the offline capabilities and with it's constant update as to our position on the trails, it definitely kept us from getting lost in the high country. We'll be using this app now to find new places to ride and explore as much of Colorado as can. Thanks to the developers for a great app!
3 ★ searching still needs a little work. At first searching would only return 2-3 trails based on the difficulty level. Now when searching only for ATV trails it returns 5k trails but includes all trails, including hiking only trails. search filtering needs a bit of attention. This will be a great app once the bugs are worked out!
5 ★ Wow. This is a free app? Incredible. It's very good for a paid app. It has a limited map set, given. But MVUM, sufficient topo with USFS road numbers, and satellite is all that's needed for overlanding/4wd in particular. Offline downloading is EXCELLENT. Very fast with a great interface. Beats the living pants off Gaia GPS in this regard, which has a terrible download/offline setup that is insanely slow most of the time. To top it off, map scrolling and display speed are crazy fast. A+
4 ★ This application has some fantastic features and it's the source of information (for CO anyway) that all the other popular trails apps are using anyhow. The development team is quick to respond to bug reports and maintain a kind and personal demeanor. I'm impressed! ------ This post has been edited after my complaint was resolved. Original complaint was about application quitting if location services were not enabled. Thanks!!
4 ★ From what I can tell, this is an amazingly good app. Would *love* the ability to search for coordinates and be able to drop a pin on those coordinates. Useful for sharing meeting locations, destinations, etc with family and friends.
4 ★ It's a good app for finding your way out on the trails but the information is extremely incomplete and fragmented. Some road/trail segments are unlabeled so route finding can be inaccurate and it's easy to find yourself on private land. But overall, the info is decent and relatively easy to piece together.
5 ★ Wonderful app with amazing features!.. and it's free! Handy measuring tool snaps to available trails. Downloadable maps for exploring in the mountains when you have no internet connection. I find this app more useful than AllTrails for hiking in Colorado. I just wonder why so few people have reviewed this great product. Perhaps they're all out hiking.
5 ★ Great for Planning Your Hiking! I like the ability to save custom routes. I use it to pre-plan hikes by evaluating the distance and elevation gain. I also use it to adjust my route by checking distance and elevation gain of alternate routes. See you on the trail! #ColoMountaineer #HikingColorado
4 ★ Impressive App so far in the live tracking, offline maps & field notes features. I have recorded 5 trips now using my Samsung S8 phone. CONS. - Uses a lot of battery power (must have always on disply on or app turns off after 5 min) - Drop down menus in the field notes require numerous taps to select the desired selection. - Ascent & Descent not recorded on my trips. PROS - Detailed Offline Maps including Custom ones i made for my trip. - Field notes & pics saved until i was online again. - Free
5 ★ This app is AMAZING the little I've played with it. I'd like to be able to spin the map, and I'd like to see a "vertical feet" or elevation profile rather that a X' to X' elevation listing. however it being accurate and the distance tool is worthy of 5 stars. SO COOL!!
