ランニングコースを作るのに重宝してます。

Really useful, practical walk route planning

Fantastic, useful app - I’ve been using it to plot various walks around London, and I love the way the line sticks magnetically to the roads, making it really easy to use. Using it with an Apple Pencil on iPad, finger on iPhone, pointer on Mac - all work perfectly. Then having it on my phone to refer to, all synced seamlessly is a treat. Excellent app.

A runner’s must

I love this app! It helps me route all my routes and mileage…very accurate. It allows you to see every mile, so if you’re running 10+ miles you can calculate your water stops etc etc.
It’s a very useful app for beginners to serious runners.

Great For Bike Ride Planning but Navigation Needs Work

I really like being able to plan and revise my cycling routes. The way points feature is great when plotting stops and special places. What needs improvement is the navigation and cues. Trail and street names on the route are often changed in the cues. It suggests too far in advance the next move without making it clear when I’ve reached that turn or directional change. I have repeatedly gotten lost on rides because of this so I do my best to memorize the route in advance of the ride. Despite this, I do recommend and will continue using the app for it’s planning, map downloading and sharing, plus it’s annual fee for the premium features is modest and worth it.

Never get lost again!

I organise the runs for my club and like to try out new routes. I used to have a reputation for getting lost on new routes but now I am able to plug new routes into the Footpath App, it is just a case of ensuring I keep the blue dot on the Footpath route. I am now trusted to get our club members back safely on new runs!

Easy to plan my walks

I really like the Footpath app! I love being able to plan and map out my walks ahead of time, so I know exactly where I’m going and how far I want to walk. I also really like that it keeps track of what I’ve already completed. It makes it easy to see my progress and keeps me motivated to keep walking. Definitely a great app for anyone who enjoys walking and wants to keep track of their routes and progress!

Me and my son

Me and my son walked 2 miles every evening and I use this app to mark our route every day. We love it. He's just nine months old. He don't know about it but it but it helps me

Excellent app

Excellent app that is suitable for use on local hills or in more challenging coastal and mountain hikes.

I still carry carry a Papper map with me, but Footpath has not led me wrong over the years I have been using it.
I particularly like the different map formats that are available and that you can use its off-line feature.
I highly recommend it.

Seems good

Seems fine as a walking or running route planner or record, free to use for basic 👍

Looks promising 😇

Updated 2026/08/16- still a good value!

Hiking - mostly great! But the available maps don’t give all the information one might want. I suspect it is the map repository and not necessarily the app.

Boating - it is fine, but clearly one wouldn’t use it by itself. A proper boating app like orca is needed.

Driving seems to work properly 🤷‍♂️

Biking- mostly works great. I had an incident where it took me up onto an active gravel pit. Check your route.

From original:
So I haven’t used it a ton yet, but it looks promising and here’s why:

1- use what ever mode you want - boat, walking bike and car- perhaps more🙃
2- it finds a route by drawing it or selecting a end point - and/or a start point!

What I haven’t quite used or figured out:
- navigation part - the “go” button
- how well the path for hiking works
- if it is the best route for driving/walking/biking. By best I mean the one that would make sense and be best for what ever mode you choose.

Anyway, it will be interesting to test it out.

Finally, I would add, If it does most of what it offers, then the price point makes it a good value!

Best routing app

This app rocks so hard. As a very insane person who trail runs 50-80 miles a week, I use this app on an almost daily basis. One thing I LOVE about it is how easy it is for o use, export and share routes. One thing I think it has over other apps is you can route a path over terrain that may or may not have trail which is really key if u know there is a trail right on the other side, also great use while traveling when I didn’t download maps when traveling in London. 10/10 HAVE recommended this app to all my runner friends

So simple to use

I use this app to plan new running routes from wherever I am as I travel quite a bit. It’s so easy to use.

Fantastic app

I use it to plot routes, it’s 95% accurate. Not steered me to far wrong yet.

Great except for drawing the route

The application works beautifully, as advertised. I especially like the turn-by-turn instructions (this can be silenced), and the live tracking on the map. The ability to save routes, and reverse them, is a big plus. This app is made bicycling a lot more interesting.

My only beef is the difficulty drawing a route: connecting a previous segment to the new one that you are drawing – it can take multiple tries to get it to “take.“

It would also be nice to have the route begin recording immediately – I always forgot to start it. Maybe it’s a preference you could set.

Great app.

Fantastic free app showing all footpaths. If you are a walk leader, it’s invaluable to work out a route and find out the distance involved.

Perfect

My go to app for planning running and cycling routes.

Phenomenal Route Planning App

Use this app very frequently to plan any walks or drives.

Indispensable pour découvrir le monde !

Running app that makes sense

I love this app and its features. It is easy to tell the routes and where they go and find it clean and easy to understand.
