## What is Maine Island Trail Association?

The Maine Island Trail is a water trail that connects over 200 islands and mainland sites along the Coast of Maine.  The first recreational water trail in North America, the Maine Island Trail allows small boaters to explore and camp among thousands of islands in the most spectacular paddling/cruising grounds in the continental US. 

Partnering with Maine-based, Chimani, the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) has developed an app for its members and the public to explore the Trail virtually.  This free app allows anyone to view some publicly-owned islands, learn about the Trail, see spectacular photos, pump-outs, tide charts, safety information, and launch sites, and to see MITA news and events, etc. Membership with MITA is required to view privately-owned sites.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

### 2/5 — Bare-bones and generic

*2021-08-09*

No thought given to experience, just a basic downloadable database. Missing commentary that comes with printed guide. Images load slow, screens are poorly rendered and navigation menu text is illegible when device is on dark mode. Developer Chimani has a bunch of cookie cutter apps that follow the same template. Feels low budget.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work/crashing only ??

*2021-05-10*

The app doesn’t work at all. I have a fully updated iPhone 11 Pro Max and app. I’ve never made it past the loading screen. Is there a fix on the way?

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-05-29*

This app used to be great but the new update makes the app crash every time it tries to open.

### 2/5 — Really frustrating update

*2019-06-22*

I used to love this app, but when I went to use it this year it simply crashed.  Upon reinstall, all my data is gone- the “my trail” feature of geographically “checking in” to sites for two years- gone.  The new version doesn’t support the old database, do backups are useless.  

Thanks for creating a feature that you’re going to reset.   I’ve wasted hours trying to restore my data.

### 4/5 — Very useful and well-done

*2017-07-20*

There's a lot of what you need in this app. The bat launch locations is less complete than I'd like but covers more than most others.

### 5/5 — Beautiful, Helpful, and Well Designed

*2017-04-04*

A great way to pass a winter evening planning for summer on the Maine coast.

### 5/5 — Great all around

*2017-02-24*

Great organization, great app. (Just so you know, full access to the app is only through membership to the organization itself)

### 5/5 — Sweet App

*2016-09-05, version 2.1.0*

Super-helpful app. So easy to find the next amazing camping island

### 5/5 — Great app, fantastic org!

*2016-08-01*

MITA is a wonderful org. If you enjoy Maine islands, I highly recommending joining. This app really is best with the additional info members get. And, you're supporting a great cause.

I love how easy it is to find spots to launch, visit, and camp and get all the details you need. In addition there is lots of other helpful info. I stopped using my tide app bc it's easier to use the tide data here.

For years, we've used the MITA book we got with the membership, but now, we don't bother. It's all here, and easier to use.

### 4/5 — Works for  planning

*2016-06-10*

I found the app very helpful for multi day trip planning.
