Great app, but some trails missing?
Really useful app and in many ways superior to AllTrails. One thing I find curious though is there are many trails that seem to be missing. For instance, the trail to the top of South Arapahoe Peak isn’t here. The keyhole route up Longs Peak is likewise MIA. Not sure why the omissions, but I love the app otherwise.

So Helpful on the Trail!
This app is your best friend in the backcountry.
Meh
I wonder why they thought people would need a special separate app for the same information that is in the major trail maps out there making this just a waste of data storage. Three stars for a nice try.
THE CO Trails App
As the official app for trails in CO, what more could you ask for. Real time updates to trail closures and regular updates coming straight from the source.
Password
Won’t reset password. I get the email but it does not lead you to password reset. App works good just don’t loose your password
Good, but disappointed with developer
This is a good app, and a great alternative for Colorado residents who don’t want to pay a subscription for a commercial app. I still prefer AllTrails for the kinds of hikes that I do, but still cross-reference with COTrEx from time to time. Both apps have both false negatives and false positives in terms of trails. It is a bit disappointing for a CPW-sanctioned app to be missing trails that clearly exist in the real world (and aren’t just social trails), and to generally be outdated.
My biggest disappointment is the slow turnaround time on bug-fixing, all too common in software development these days. I reported a bug more than a year ago about the keyboard covering the bottom of your Trip description, and even submitted a screen recording illustrating the issue. A PM immediately responded saying they would get it fixed. More than a year later, and I still have to use the website to type Trip descriptions, despite the app having received multiple updates in that time.

Compass heading is way to sensitive to pinch zoom
Title.
I often finding myself spinning my map in circles rather than zooming in out. Slightly annoying when I have the orientation how I want it and I pinch/pull my fingers in a slight enough way to rotate the map.

Needs one-handed zooming
Pinch-to-zoom is difficult without using two hands or setting the phone on a table or some other surface. Almost every other map app has a single-finger way to zoom in or out. For example, in Apple Maps, tapping twice, and without lifting your finger from the second tap, allows you to zoom in by dragging your finger up and zoom out by dragging your finger down.
Google Maps, GaiaGPS and AllTrails all have similar functionality. Would love to see it come to this app.

Good trustworthy app but
Satellite layer is at least 4 years old. Needs updated.
Best app for exploring Colorado, some UX issues
Please please please reimplement one handed zooming. Literally every other map app under the sun lets you zoom with one hand/one finger. This causes such headache for me. I am perpetually trying to tap and slide to zoom (due to muscle memory since Apple Maps, AllTrails, Google Maps, Trails Off-road all working this way), but en up selecting random things and messing up my navigation.

Trip Trim function error message
Love this app. If i try to trim my bike recording by first tapping Edit, then sliding the slider, then Save. Then I receive error message
“Error
TypeError: Undefined is not a function.
OK”
Thanks for your help

My favorite trail app
This is such a great app -- and we are so fortunate to have it here in Colorado!
The ability to build out custom routes using all of the existing segments, and having the route snap to the existing trails is stellar. And the option to loop or do a one-tap out and back option? What a quality of life boost.
Being able to follow an area to receive updates on closures or public notices is also great, and the offline functionality? Dope.
I forget to use the field notes portion when im on runs, but it seems like a great way for trail managers to get crowdsourced realtime data on trail issues or animal and plant patterns.
All in all, i hope the state continues to fund this because what an improvement on the various paywalled apps. Its our land, and i love being able to use it knowledgeably!

No Apple Watch Compatability
I really really love this app, I use it every time I dirt bike. However, the inability to use this app on my Apple Watch is highly inconvenient. I ride hard enduro, which means I’m unable to mount my phone to my dirt bike handle bars. Having to stop at each fork in the trail/road is such a hassle.
I’m probably alone on this, but, I’d much rather glance down at my watch rather than pull my phone out. If the devs made this compatible with the watch I’d pay money for it!
Cheers!

Best app for exploring Colorado
I love this app, I use it any time I want to go for a walk, hike, or off road adventure. I lament hiking in any other state because they don’t have an equivalent. It would be improved by having a CarPlay app as well, there are many roads on this app and it would be useful to see the map in my vehicle I swear this used to be a feature, but being able to double tap and slide to zoom the map is such a boon for one handed use. Would be great if this were (re)implemented!

Wildly Inaccurate
This app needs it mapping updated terribly. Hiking trails that have been opened or closed in the last five years have not been updated. Forest service roads from the last twenty years are not updated. Some areas have been sold to private citizens so using this app you will find yourself trespassing or having to turn around without completing a trail. Seasonal closures are also wildly inaccurate. If this is a state ran app then this is why the government needs less control. Some features are awesome like planning your route, elevation change and more accurate distances than AllTrails. Yet the apps shortcomings are aggravating and dangerous to say the least.

Best app by far
I’ve tried them all, this is the clear winner and it’s free. I wish other states would add in this this but thankfully 99 percent of my hiking is in Colorado.
Could the developers add game unit, private land, and previous wild fire layers? That is the only thing this app is missing but even without this, this is the best app I’ve ever used and I’ve paid for most the others. Good work devs!

Please make a Garmin friendly app!
I would really like to use the new Garmin watches for a GPS on OHV and single track trails for a quick glance rather than stopping to pull out a phone. Only way this app could get better in my opinion.
Quirky
I had high hopes for this app, but unfortunately it's useless. It can't receive a GPS signal (and yes, my phone has buit-in GPS). It just kept saying it's unable to lock on to GPS because it doesn't have access to location services, yet there is no option anywhere I can find in the app or on the iPhone's settings to grant said access. The app doesn't appear in the list of apps in the iPhone "Privacy" settings, so there's no way to grant access there, and there are no options within the settings of the app itself to grant access. Once I deleted and reinstalled the app, thugh, it properly registered itself with iOS and was able to access location services.

There is also no map legend to be found on the phone app, so looking at a downloaded map doesn't tell you anything of value.
