I’ve got plenty of gps apps for tracking my course. That was a waste of money. ### 1/5 — Not what was described. *2021-05-22, version 1.4* I thought it was an app to find trails and track your rides. It’s not. It’s to create your own trails. ### 2/5 — Loved when it first came out *2021-03-10, version 1.4* Loved it when it first came out. Is accurate BUT I lacks some easy user friendly features Ie: sort in history and it’s oldest to newest No way when you save to enter thinks like location and horse, just one line the. You have scroll down and edit No update they are not keeping up ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2021-02-10, version 1.4* Doesn’t work, did not save my photos, app gets hung up and frozen. Not worth it, had to return. ### 2/5 — EQUiTrail: is this app supported by iOS 13.3 *2020-01-27, version 1.4* I’m unable to update this app and I can no longer read text from location pins on my maps ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-12-21, version 1.4* I’ve been using this app for several months and so far it’s been great. It sometimes shows a weird amount on the miles while your tracking but once saved it’s pretty accurate compared to my smart watch. My husband pays $35 a year for Alltrails and after comparing both apps with the speedometer on our vehicle his alltrails is off over 1 mile each time and this app is spot on with it. Very happy with this. ### 4/5 — Florida Rider *2019-11-08, version 1.4* I love this App. Not only does it show where you have been after the ride is over, but anytime I feel worried about getting back to camp I can see on the map how to get back the way I came or at least know that I am heading the right direction on the trail I an on. Also, by pushing SAVE, when riding in the same place I can compare maps of the different trails I took. More importantly, the one time I did not turn it on because I was FOLLOWING other riders, THAT 5 hr ride was only ended when we were located by a Sheriff’s helicopter! Hard lesson but I never ride out now without turning on EQUiTrail. ### 3/5 — Avid trail rider *2019-04-21, version 1.4* I really love this app. It gives the info I really want. Unfortunately it’s quit running in me too many times. Doesn’t even save the portion it did run. ### 1/5 — SCAM!!! DO NOT BUY!!!! *2018-12-26, version 1.4* I bought this app and when I opened it, it said to allow location services but when I went in to settings there was no way to turn it on. ### 1/5 — EQUiTrail ap-too many bugs *2018-09-24, version 1.4* Unfortunately this ap doesn’t save the trails. The ap will start when you want it to, it will track everything during the ride. Then at the end of your ride when you get in to it to save the information the ap shuts down and deletes everything. It’s beyond irritating and there is no way to get the information after the fact. Another issue is you can’t access the ap outside of the phone, so there isn’t much you can do to edit fields within it. It’s definitely not worth $5. ## Frequently asked questions about EQUiTrail ### What does EQUiTrail do?
