Reliably tracks my travels

I use Ramblr to track hikes & walks with my dog, so haven’t gotten around to using many of its more advanced features (ex. finding trails). But for tracking it’s been a solid app that just does what I need it to do without glitches or draining the battery. Tracking seems very accurate. I like that I can add photo / video / notes along my route.

Great App

I’ve used ramblr for several years to track walks, hikes, and downhill skiing. I like being able to include photos with locations shown on the route.

Deserves 5 stars but for wanting to add my own map overlays

This little app for free does a lot of stuff. Everybody else is charging four. One of the things that’s really nice is the ability to see each other on the app so if you have friends that are hiking nearby our meeting up with you, you can see where they’re at. I would pay for this app except that it doesn’t do one thing I would like for it to be able to do: import my own maps overlays such a local campground maps. Then it would be 5 stars!

Horse trails

So easy to use. Using since the Fall of 2023.

Awesome app for thru hiking

I’ve used the Ramblr App for over 25 weeks of thru hiking across multiple hikes and many thousands of kilometres. I use it to track my hike so I get awesome daily map and stats, write a daily trail journal (tip: write in another app like Notes and cut & paste into Ramblr) and attach selected and edited photos. The result is an awesome daily trail journal that I both share and have turned into a printed coffee table book of my hike.

The few times I’ve had issues, Ramblr support has been awesome and quickly fixed a bug. Highly recommended!

Oops…

This has been my go-to tracker for years, and has been very reliable, more so than others I also use. But yesterday it froze while I was deleting a large map, and I had to reinstall everything, including all my downloaded maps (about 6 GB worth). Ah well….

Love this app for horseback riding in places I haven’t been!

This app is the coolest thing because you don’t have to try to use a map to figure out where you are! You can follow someone else’s mouth! And I love that it beeps at you if you get off track! I do wish that you could just add to someone else’s trip so that you could add details like where A turn is or something to watch out for. It would be super helpful to be able to come bind that information into one tracking trip by adding to someone else’s trip they’ve already done.

All Purpose in All Ways

I’ve been using Ramblr for 3 years…to track everything I do that involves moving: walking, running, motorcycling, YTV, Road trips, horseback, you name it, Ramblr is my go to app.
And I’ve used all kinds of apps. I always come back to this one bc I can track all my activities, and now I have a record of miles and miles and years of memories. I’ve got another more expensive app that I do like, but ultimately, if I had to choose, I’d choose Ramblr every time. And It has been remarkable stable and even the few times it had crashed, it somehow finished the route.
The only issue I have particularly is that the signal gets lost in deep mountainous areas… but it’s hard to fault a program that can’t penetrate 14,000ft of solid rock…..😉

Distance

How do you change it to kilometres?

Great app

Great app and idiot proof for a daffy like me who frequently got lost.
