App broken v4.1.2 (Fixed!)
The latest version appears to be broken. Maps get an error while trying to download, previous maps don’t appear to be working, no trails show up for my area. Deleted the data but it gives and error now when trying to redownload. 😢
Update, I deleted the app from my phone and redownloaded it. Now it works like it used to!

This app seems broken for me. UPDATE
I used this app last year to find great trails, see reviews, and even recent conditions of trails. However, now when I use this app there are no trails to be found. I pick my state, zoom into areas of known trails, and nothing appears. I can’t even see a list of any trails in the state. I hope this gets fixed soon because this used to be my go to for finding new trails.
UPDATE: Thank you for reaching out to me. I deleted and reinstalled the app. Everything seems to be working great now. I’m happy I can use this great app again!

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the app? That will likely fix this issue.
New update makes me miss the older version
This app is a great tool. But the new(er) version from the end of last year is just not as useful. I can no longer “trace” a trail to show me distance/elevation from trailheads to certain points (useful when riding only parts of trail), I can no longer click on trails to highlight them most of the time, and the trail list at the bottom scrolls out of control every time I zoom in or out on the map... as you know, there are many great things about it, but it seems to have lost a few of those things in version 4.0.

Best app for mountain bikers!!
I drive cross country in a semi and try to find trails to bike along the way. Before finding this app I could never find trails to ride. Now it is like I know some that has the inside scoop on every trail in the US. They also ride every trail with me to keep me on the right trail. With the number of trails and how little some are marked without the gps and map I do not know if I would have gotten home a couple of times. Only thing that would be nice is bike routes in cities. I know that it is not a trail so am not going to knock them for that.

Used to be great
Before the recent updates with the trail cards, the app was excellent. The new cards change if you move the map slightly. I find that a different trail will be listed on the cards than the trail I selected from the map. The elevation profile button is too small to be practical. I can’t actually select it with a glove on anymore. I would love to see a map layer for wilderness areas as well. Hopefully they update the cards to be more useful but for now, I feel like they are counter productive and make navigating the app difficult. I’ll use Trailforks in the meantime.

Not happy with Latest upgrade
The app performance changed with the last update like a month ago. Today for some reason all my areas were empty and I had to download the areas again. I only discovered this while on the trail trying to open a map. Not nice at all.
Beside, with the last update it is slower and each time I go into the app (even if it was left open) the access is not like before, it is slower, it needs to load some data which makes the screen go black for a second... really a change and I don’t see why it does it now.

One of my “Go To” apps took a turn for the worse
I use these apps (Hiking and MTB) for both hiking and biking. They have helped me find great trails, kept me safe and on track. Sadly, we cannot turn off the scrolling trail boxes at the bottom of the page. When you are in a slow internet area, where most good trails exist, these tiles slow the app to a crawl. I desperately wish I could toggle the off!!
Also, you can “heart” (Favorite) trails AND “Gems” (sights) but only the trails show up in your favorites area!! Let me reiterate that, you can fav the gems but not find them later.
In closing, I’m a huge REI fan, and a co-op member, but this app needs some tweaking to be as useful as it was in an earlier version.

Downgrade with update
Please go back and fix all of the things that your new update has changed/deleted. As many other users have complained about, the pin option is now gone and it is impossible to track your ride while riding especially through the elevation section. The swiping at the bottom has become problematic and it is not easy to find your trail segments, and the overall aesthetic is too Busy with the windows of the trails at the bottom of the map. Please go back to the earlier version and rethink your design and usability strategies.
For years, since the beginning of the app, this has been my favorite, go to for trail riding., I am disappointed to say the least at the recent changes.

I see you're using version 4.0.2. In 4.0.2, we made the following updates: 1. Re-added the pin option; it's back. 2. Re-added your location on the elevation profile 3. Made swiping easier (it took longer swipes before, smaller swipes will now move the cards) I'm sorry that you don't like the aesthetics. We are listening and we'll take that advice to change it back into consideration. Thanks for taking the time to voice your concerns!
New update is awful
I used to love the app and now I find myself using this app to find a good loop, but Trailforks while I’m riding. Please bring back the feature of the app showing where you are in your ride based on the blue circle in the elevation graph. It’s nice to know how much climbing is left, or if a steep downhill is coming. Also, I’ve had to click on a ride then view in map so many times (it wouldn’t let me just stay in that view). The horizontal scrolling while with gloves on instead of the easy-to-read list is so frustrating. It’s a clunky update and I hope you guys work on it.

Not a fan of the “new look”
They changed the interface in the map and now it is much more difficult to pinpoint a single trail in a network and read about it. You have to horizontal scroll (yuck) through a bunch of trails to find the one you want in your viewport.
I am really not a fan of this design. I think they should revert it back. The app is much less useful now.
The information is great, and the old interface worked well. I don’t know why they felt the need to mess it up. I hope they bring back the old interface because it is now almost impossible to disaggregate a network or trails and read about a particular one.
