Hiking trail view is limited

Trails are only visible when zoomed in so far one cannot get the big picture.
Also it would be nice to be able to highlight individual trails since otherwise it is hard to see which trail is which when there are many intersections

simple & efficient

I used this app to plan a group trip with friends to Zion National Park it created a custom itinerary for us, cool and solid app.

App crash on iPhone 14promax

Application is been crashed after installation and unable to open it.

$$

Paying for apps is not good. Everything else is going to cost money.

Impressive

They’ve thought of everything.

Yellowstone

Can’t wait to see the views

I’m a huge fan of this app!

Kerry, thanks, it worked just as you said, I have been a lifetime member since you started. Your company has saved me tons of planning time as I've visited 42 parks.

Awesome sauce

Helps plan out a adventure

Great App & Excellent Service

I’ve been using the Chimani app for years to keep track of our outdoor family adventures. It has great hiking maps within the national parks and the gps tagging allows you to easily keep track of your destinations and accomplishments.

After recently upgrading my phone I was not able to log in because I forgot my password and didn’t have access to my old email address. I thought I had lost all of my data but Kerry with their service team came to the rescue, and did so much more quickly than I anticipated!

If you spend a lot of time in the parks, this app is a must-have!

Thank you for the wonderful feedback! I’m so glad we could help get you back into your account—wouldn’t want to lose track of all those amazing family adventures. Wishing you many more great days out in the parks!

Impossible to log in

I have no idea whether the app actually works. It requires a log in but won’t let me create a password. The forgot my password link indicates a reset link has been emailed to my email but after trying that about a dozen times today I can say that it doesn’t work. No email and nothing in the junk/SPAM folder either.

Free Trial??

I would love to write a legitimate review however when I signed up for the trial, I didn’t get to use it. I had access to it for 24 hours before Chimani would no longer allow me to enter the site without choosing a payed plan. Disappointing bc I find this app expensive and I wanted to be able to trial it prior to purchase.

Wonderful

Great app!

I’ve been using this app for many years and find it incredibly useful! There are a few little things that have been identified in other reviews, so I’m not going to repeat them. This app is well worth having and using if you frequent the National Parks - especially if you hike into the parks, beyond the parking lots and congestion. I spend a lot of time on remote trails, and some not so remote. There have been several times this app helped me find my way back after a long day on a confusing trail system. I always carry a paper map (as a backup), but there’s nothing like being able to view your location on a downloaded map of the trail system! Btw, I even carry a small solar panel to charge my phone.
As with most apps, you MUST use it and familiarize yourself with it to fully benefit from its many features.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and for being a longtime Chimani user—we really appreciate it! We’re thrilled the app has helped you navigate those remote trails (especially after a long day out there!). Sounds like you’ve got a dialed-in setup with offline maps, paper backup, and even a solar charger—love it. Totally agree: taking time to get familiar with the features makes a big difference. Thanks again, and happy hiking!

Best App To Have!

This is the very best app to have for exploring our Country’s numerous National parks and more! Detailed travel guides are included and it’s always fun to rack up another 50 points while visiting the outstanding features this great Country has to offer. Highly recommended!!!

Great support

Been using the app for tracking my visits to both national and state parks for a long time. Love seeing where I have been and planning stops on my travels.
Their support is great. When I got a new phone I was unable to login to my account for my history. Kerry quickly found the problem with my account and corrected the issue. I am back to planning.

Thank you so much for your long time support!

Travelogue stats

My travelogue stats were zeroed out and was a big concern because I had over 25 years of National Park visits. Got to chat with someone to help restore the data. Thank you so much!

Record your Travels and Adventures

I absolutely love the Chimani app. Awesome and fun way to keep track of your National Park travels and check in and save that you were there! No worries if you have any issues with recording your adventures just reach out to Kerry! She is outstanding with helping. It’s a great way to keep track of all the places you went and it’s simple and easy to do. The app also gives lots of great information about the parks! Everything you need is all in one place. I love it! Sign up today and you won’t be disappointed. Dana-Maree from Jersey.
Enjoy your journey!

Fantastic guide app

The app was a tremendous assistance while we toured Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. Real time downloaded info and location identification made our park visits more enjoyable and less work than would have been possible with hard copy maps. Great purchase. Bought the lifetime membership to help with future park visits.

AI? Really?

I get an email from you that’s made with AI? You really couldn’t hire an artist to place text over a photo of Yellowstone? There are hundreds of other trail apps and I’m going to pick literally any of them.
