DISCOVER YOUR NEXT ADVENTURE
Love exploring new paths or need a change of scene? Want help to get fit or lose some weight? Can't decide where to go?
Hike Maker is here to help! Just choose your distance and pace, and it generates routes for you to follow. Whether it's a circular route back to where you started or an A-to-B path, Hike Maker has you covered. Save routes, and when you're ready, select one to track your progress in real time.

Review your progress with stats and stay motivated with badges for milestones and streak tracking.

Key features:

- Auto-generate circular or A-to-B routes
- Create your own custom routes
- Route recording, distance tracking, steps (or pushes), heart rate and calorie logging
- Distance in kilometres or miles
- GPX file import/export and share GPX files with other apps on your device

- Weather forecast for the area of your route, from Apple Weather
- Colorful dashboards and statistics so you can see your progress

Note that Hike Maker will attempt to generate random routes for you. In some circumstances this may not be possible at the distance you choose, due to your current location and the layout of paths or roads around you. Keep trying until you get a route you're happy with, or design your own.

Hike Maker includes both a free version and a subscription version with premium features that can be subscribed to and paid for monthly or annually. The subscription version is offered with a one week free trial. After the free trial ends your subscription will start unless you choose to cancel it.

You can subscribe and pay on the App Store, using your Apple ID.  Payment will be charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription will automatically renew unless cancelled before the end of the current period. Your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-01-09, version 1.0.11*

There’s a lot of these apps around now but most of them are all of a similar ilk. However this app stands out for me as a genuine attempt to provide an app for the user.

It’s not quite sliced bread, but it is definitely a baguette

### 5/5 — Great

Good app. It’s highlighted some interesting looking walks around the neighbourhood. Just need to walk them now!

### 5/5 — One of my favorites!

*2025-01-06*

Hike Maker is my favorite way to get lost!  Whether it’s in the park a few miles from home, or while visiting a new city, Hike Maker helps discover new routes!

### 5/5 — City Hiker

*2024-12-21*

I don’t consider myself a hiker, but I travel to various cities for work. This app is great to help me find little routes to take to get me out of the hotel.

### 5/5 — Finding new places

*2024-11-22, version 1.0*

Right from install, this has been easy to use. Being able to get a walk suggested from wherever you are at the time with a couple of taps is great. Discovering some new places along the way.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2024-11-22, version 1.0*

This is great and is helping me find routes I wouldn’t have considered otherwise. Nice job!
