User reviews

Thankful For This App

This app truly made a difference for me and my hiker friends that were looking to train for the Camino. It has everything you need to make sure you’re prepared for a major trek. I’ll definitely be using HikeStrong the next time I’m training for another trek.

Perfect App for Hike/climb Specific Training

With this app you get a specialized training program that fits your exact needs and goals. It’s highly customizable, easy to use, and clearly organized. So glad I found it!

Great structure for my goals

I need this kind of structure so I know what to do and when.

Response from developer

We're thrilled HikeStrong is working well for you. If you have additional thoughts, questions, or suggestions, please email me at marcus@hikestrongapp.com. Keep up the good work!

Great prep for upcoming hike

This app is great for setting goals in preparation of a specific hiking trip. It has helped me track my progress and keep me on track for my upcoming Grand Canyon hike.

Response from developer

Thank you! The Grand Canyon is such an incredible adventure, and we're thrilled HikeStrong is helping you stay on track for it. As always, if you have additional thoughts, questions, or suggestions, you can email me at marcus@hikestrongapp.com. Happy training and have an amazing hike!

User interface

The app is extremely challenging to navigate and doesn’t even seem optimized for an iPhone yet. Minimal preset hikes available. Seems extremely expensive without even offering Garmin compatability. My advice? Give it time to improve before paying for it.

Response from developer

Thank you for the candid feedback. Every couple of weeks, we release updates based on our own use of the app and feedback from users. It’s getting better with every update. We’re improving navigation, adding more hikes, and working toward Garmin and other fitness integrations. If you’re willing to share more, I’d appreciate hearing from you directly at marcus@hikestrongapp.com.
