They could replace this with a custom google map with a 100% increase in functionality. My wife wants to visit here but I keep thinking that if the people who live here are as stupid as the people the approved the design of this app we are probably better off going somewhere like Alabama. The idea of this app seems useful, tell me the trails that I can come and enjoy. This app is a complete failure. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-03-03, version 1.7.10* Ditch this junker and put a PDF for download on the Vilas county site. What a waste of data this app is. ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-04-07, version 1.7.2* Does not function well .. ### 1/5 — Poor *2019-02-15, version 1.7.1* Not very intuitive. Very hard to figure out. App says you can plan a route but where that’s at, I can’t figure out. ### 1/5 — Does Not Work ... *2018-12-13, version 1.6* When you look at trail information, it claims you need an internet connection when you already have one ... Yet, one can view the interactive map ... Buggy, Do not recommend ... Even reinstalled and installed again ... 👎👎 ### 1/5 — Crashes right away *2016-01-24, version 1.1* Sounds like a good app but it crashes right after I open it. ### 1/5 — Sad *2015-03-20, version 1.1* Crashes as soon as I try to open it. Sounds like a great app if it would work. ### 2/5 — Internet required *2018-12-11, version 1.6* Can’t access the Trail Info portion using cell data- it requires Internet access. Not always available in the Northwoods. ### 3/5 — Okay, not great *2019-08-09, version 1.7.2* Was hoping to plan a UTV route but there is no capability for that although the description said so. ### 3/5 — I wish it worked *2018-10-18, version 1.6* Great idea, but it won’t let me view any trail info. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My go-to app when I’m up north! *2018-12-20, version 1.7* I use this app every time I’m in the Northwoods! It’s so fun to be able to explore different trails and communities with each trip. The app is super easy to use and makes me feel much more comfortable trekking into the woods where I’m usually in unfamiliar territory. I get very little reception in the Northwoods so the offline maps are awesome! ### 5/5 — Love This App!! *2018-12-13, version 1.6* I found this app a couple of years ago and used it to try new hiking trails I also use the Gaia app which provided me with miles walked, elevation and more importantly where I was on the trail. After updating the app, I found out that it now shows where you are on the trail. Great feature!!!! I’ve told many people visiting the area about this app. Because it makes them more comfortable on our area trails! ### 5/5 — Saved the hike *2017-05-23, version 1.4* I spent this past weekend up in Vilas County with some friends, running, biking and hiking the trails. Fortunately, I downloaded this app before the trip. We were checking out the Trampers Trail in Sayner-Star Lake and it was pretty rugged going. Awesome trail but due to some recent storms there were some trees down and in spots the trail was a little hard to follow. At one point we were unsure where to go, so I fired up the app. With the app's gps you can see exactly where you are in relation to the trail and cruise through places where the signs are less clear. The app helped us find the trail along the edge of Star Lake, which is the nicest stretch we hiked all weekend (I highly recommend it, it’s beautiful). If you’re planning to hike, run or bike in Vilas, download this app! ### 5/5 — Great app for exploring the area *2016-08-02, version 1.2* Love the app and the access to trails/waterways info. I think it would be better with a legend for symbols (drop down menu add in); also the symbols continue to decrease in size despite 'zooming in' the map. ### 3/5 — Where's the legend? *2018-02-18, version 1.6* Kinda cool app, but lacks a legend ... also took me quite some time to figure out how to get a high level map of entire area, with individual trail sites identified. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
