## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Sign up problem

*2015-07-10, version 1.09*

Sign up with Facebook was rejected, also refused sign up with email...could have been useful but I deleted this app.  Sorry.

### 1/5 — Login required for use

*2015-04-27, version 1.09*

Huge thumbs down for the required login for app usage.

### 1/5 — Requires a login to use

*2014-10-11, version 1.09*

If the first thing an app does is require a login or account creation, I delete it. That means you've been deleted. You failed. Rewrite it to not require an account to use and I'll try it again.

### 1/5 — Won't login in iOS8

*2014-09-21, version 1.08*

Won't login in iOS8

### 1/5 — poorly organized

*2014-05-14, version 1.04*

Why are the maps so poorly organized?
Put in a  "MAPS"  button.

### 1/5 — Crash! Doesn't work on my IPhone 4

*2014-05-08, version 1.03*

Thanks for the software update. Still doesn't work on IPhone 4.

### 1/5 — Misleading!!

*2014-05-02, version 1.02*

It shows only central Iowa trails. And where are all the campground trails or hiking trails? Or every other trail in iowa? Weak app.

### 2/5 — Good potential/not yet though

*2014-07-20, version 1.07*

App crashes a lot. Linked to Facebook and shows what appears to be random jibberish as the user name.

### 2/5 — Great, if you live in Central Iowa

*2014-06-13, version 1.05*

If you don't live in central Iowa, the nearest trail is going to be a few hours away. Perhaps the developers targeted that area first with Des Moines. Disappointing for a "state-wide" trail app.

### 2/5 — No dirt trails listed - but there are dirt trails around

*2014-05-02, version 1.02*

No dirt trails are listed, but I know the ones common in my area, that most trail runners and mountain bikers know. When will they be added?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-01-10, version 1.11*

This app is great for navigating and tracking my progress on the trails across Iowa.

### 5/5 — 👍🏼👍🏼

*2015-05-06, version 1.09*

Love this app. Makes it easy to find new trails. Not really sure what the big deal is about having to have an account to use the app? This is an excellent app!

### 5/5 — love this app!

*2014-05-04, version 1.02*

I've gone a couple Treks in the Des Moines area, an it's been amazing. So excited for all of the trails in the state to come out this summer!

### 4/5 — Good Idea

*2014-07-30, version 1.07*

the start of something great. makes it easy to communicate with other iowa trail enthusiasts.

### 4/5 — Overall, Good, But uses iOS default Maps App

*2014-05-01, version 1.02*

Really wish it was compatible with other map applications. I don't use the standard "Maps" app on my iPhone. I've gotten pretty lost with and I don't trust it anymore.

Other than that, the layout is really nice and the features are good.

### 3/5 — Can't log in

*2014-05-18, version 1.04*

It was great to look at. But a few weeks later I went to use the app while
Biking and darn it, can't remember the log in info. Since there is no "I forgot my password" prompt I am
stuck. It knows my email address has been used, but it won't help me out!

### 2/5 — Only DSM???

*2014-05-01, version 1.02*

I think the name is a little misleading. Only trails on it are around the central part of Iowa.
