Would be great but...
My ride never saves in record mode. It always loses connection no matter what trail I’m on. As far as I know, my cell connection isn’t dropping because I can see where I’m at at any given moment. On that note, the trails are really well marked on the app and almost always accurate! That’s a great feature when you’re out on a new trail and you’re not sure which way to go.
A helpful update would be to allow users to add photos and exact location when submitting trail conditions. Having a photo and pinned location would make feedback and response way more efficient.
Other than that, I haven’t found a more expansive app for mtb trails!

Hidden Secrets
I’m really grateful for this app. I’ve discovered so many new trails. I’m always looking to peer deeper into nature and explore the unexplored. This app provides a foundation for this exploration. Just today I was high up in glimmering Aspens on a trail that I didn’t even know existed. Most of the locations are reviewed and location finding hasn’t been too far fetched yet. I look forward to more single track and creative inspiration ✨

MTB for Maps, Strava for Progress
MTB Project app constantly logs out the user. Make sure you have your log in info readily available when you get in the middle of nowhere about to head out on your ride. If you don’t have internet access to retrieve your info, you will not be able to record your ride.
The maps are great and the details for the trails is very good. Use this for finding your next location to ride then use another app to track your progress.
I’m sticking with Strava for the time being.

Love the app, but GPS is only working when I have cell service, though
Been using this app for many years! Love it! Though, this weekend I was trying to locate where I was on the trail, and the GPS current location marker would not update to my current location of cell service was weak. Usually, it works pretty much all the time, even without cell coverage, since the GPS signal always works. It used to work in the area I was in. iPhone XR 13.4.1

Condition History!!!
I love this app but there is one great feature on the website they seem to always leave out. On a computer you can check the history of user updated conditions and in my state of Colorado, I feel it’s very useful. I can check back to see how soon the trails thawed out enough to ride in past years! Obviously it’s not always the same but some years have similar amounts of snow to others and it helps me gauge when I may be able to hit the high alpine trails!

Trending in the wrong direction
Been using the app for years and it’s gone from a great tool to a not-so-useful and unreliable frustrating tool. The old UI was much more intuitive, simple, clean, and more than anything reliable. At this point with every update it’s a new set of issues. Either direction links don’t work, map manipulation doesn’t work, buttons to toggle screens don’t work, trail selection doesn’t work, search doesn’t work, etc. I understand the desire to feature bloat the app with all sorts of nifty things and having to rebuild the app in a way to allow that to happen is no easy feat...but it’s really feeling like there was a lack of QA testing or something. I mean some of the most common basic workflows such as “open app, search for trail, click on trail” do not work reliably. As the months have passed with this new version it’s becoming more and more of a thing where I end up force quitting and restarting over and over and trying to figure out how to get into the screen I want to see by some back door way and it’s super frustrating. Appreciate the work put in and for years of a super useful app/tool but it seems most of my fellow riders, even ones who never used the old version, feel this app is struggling. In an effort to add features 1% of users will even use at all the majority of the user base is frustrated and scratching their heads. The feedback is pretty clear. Hopefully the bugs can get hammered out so this thing can be enjoyed like it was previously.

Apple Watch compatibility
Any time I’m going out on a new trail I’ll use this app just to make sure I’m taking the right turns and keeping on track. I absolutely love the layout and the ease of use, I would just ask there to be maybe a simplified version for watchOS as checking my watch is less of a hassle then to have to stop and check my phone any time I need directions. It would be a great addition.

So far it’s been good
I’ve just started using the App so as time goes on I’ll have a better idea so far it’s been good.
Just stopped working
So today my California maps stopped loading, and now no maps at all will download.. is there a technical issue?
Response from developer
Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app?
Like being an instant local
The MTB app make every rider an instant local, by giving him or her access to rides in many locations. I’m relocating to a new area and have already found dozens of rides that I can’t wait to try. If it weren’t for this app, I’d have to spend months or years discovering these rides.
The phone app has also saved me from getting lost. It’s like having a local rider in your pocket.
