This app is awesome. along with the trail map and elevation my main two concerns are where can I camp at and where can I get water at. A bonus is having comments on those to know if the stream is still running and if the campsites are big enough for multiple tents. this app has those however it just shows you where a campsite is without giving you details of the number of tents you can put in it. Sometimes you can see that in the comments, but it would be nice to have a number next to the campsite.
My main downside to this app is it is very limited to specific trails. Mainly to long distance through hikes or very popular long-distance trails. There are many trails near where I live that are 10 to 30 miles long but are not on this app. so I find myself constantly using other apps because of this.
