### 3/5 — Decent but doesn’t keep maps open

*2026-01-20, version 5.3.0*

Very good trail markings however the ap does not keep maps open and does not actively track to use for navigation. Is this for active navigation or just looking to see where you are?

### 4/5 — No trials shown

*2021-11-08, version 4.0*

Am I missing something? Omit says it’s compatible with my iPhone but doesn’t show any trails and the search function doesn’t do anything

### 4/5 — Am I doing something wrong?

*2020-12-18, version 4.0*

At first, wasn’t able to download anything. Now I am able to get all of the maps.  Seems like it is working well now.

### 4/5 — No details? A legend?

*2020-08-06, version 4.0*

Am I missing something?
How do we know what type of trails we are looking at? Other than MCCT in the name, there seems to be no reason to the names or colors of the icons (that I can quickly determine) Example; North Branch Route or North Branch Route Track. What are they, motorcycle only, orv, side by side? What is a track? That is not verbiage that the DNR uses. 
 I like to ride motorcycle only trails, how do  I determine this? Which trails require a motorcycle to have a license plate?
Example: Both Horseshoe Lake Trails have a red icon, doesn’t the north loop require a license plate?
Or how does a side by side driver determine which trails he can access?
I think I purchased this too quickly and, unless I’m just missing the details - which I could be, I don’t think this will be any use to me.

### 3/5 — Needs work

*2020-06-09, version 4.0*

Great idea. Flawed implementation. Straight lines showing trails that don’t exist are confusing. LP6 goes right through Houghton lake!  Needs some cleaning up. Many more errors, LP6 is just one example. ORV seems to be better than snowmobile trails though.

### 2/5 — Nothing lower than mid Michigan

*2020-04-25, version 4.0*

Unfortunately this app looks awesome other than there is nothing for the lower half of the state

### 3/5 — Cant tell what can ride what trail

*2020-04-17, version 4.0*

How do you tell what is allowed on what trail?

### 2/5 — Fix straight line map glitch

*2020-01-24, version 3.7*

Would be great if the map wouldn’t show straight lines all over. Makes the map difficult to read.

### 4/5 — Straight lines

*2020-01-05, version 3.6*

What are all the straight lines for after down load of trail

### 3/5 — Straight lines

*2019-12-20, version 3.6*

It’s a great app. I downloaded all of the maps, then it looks like it added extra straight lines that garble everything up. It would be great if those weren’t there.

### 2/5 — OK Maps - Needs Work

*2019-11-30, version 3.6*

App is ok. Download the maps before you go. If you want to explore, that’s a lot of maps. And bring a magnifying glass to read, wish it was more interactive. Much room for improvement.. keep going!

### 3/5 — Forest service roads

*2019-09-29, version 3.6*

Pretty nice app.  Developer:  why don’t you keep going with it and add the forest service roads and county road two tracks for us Jeepers.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t show your current location

*2019-07-21, version 3.5*

The current location button is greyed out. Is it supposed to show your current location? That’s the only reason I downloaded and paid.

### 3/5 — No names

*2019-02-25, version 3.4*

Why not use the trail names? Other then that it looks like a nice app with ability to download the trails

### 1/5 — Almost worthless

*2023-01-14, version 4.0*

Zero information of where you are on the map or trail. No towns listed. It does give you the ability to delete a route. Not sure why you want to do that. You have to down load each trail map that has a number but you have no clue what area you are down loading. There is no way this person has ever used this app it’s worthless. The moss on a tree gives you more info. No clue what all the different colors or little dots mean.

### 1/5 — I don’t see maps

*2021-11-07, version 4.0*

I don’t see any maps?  Says to filter by trail names but in order to know the names, I need to see them in the map.  It’s a catch 22. Perhaps I am missing something but if I am, it’s not very user friendly then

### 1/5 — Junk

*2020-09-25, version 4.0*

Completely useless.  Unable to download any of the trail maps, ORV nor snowmobile.  Don’t spend the money on this app

### 1/5 — Uh. Where are the rest of the trails?

*2020-09-20, version 4.0*

Downloaded the app for when we’re out riding and don’t have service on our phones. The app is missing so many trails, especially around Clare and Roscommon County. I’m sure the app would work great if you’re in northern Michigan or the Upped Peninsula but for we ride its worthless.

### 1/5 — Pretty useless unfortunately

*2020-07-22, version 4.0*

It loads way too slow to be of use for general exploring. Cool concept but there are a couple other apps better suited or arc gis which is free and way more detailed

### 1/5 — Rough

*2020-03-01, version 4.0*

App shows routes that don’t exist and shows routes as straight lines when there is important detail. Trail number is not shown when zooming in.

### 1/5 — Straight lines everywhere

*2019-08-11, version 3.5*

Straight lines where there are no trails.  I did see it mentioned in a previous review, assumed it was fixed.  I was wrong.  Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Fix bug!

*2018-06-03, version 3.2*

It will not allow me to download any trail maps. Please fix this issue, or refund people for paying for an app that still has the same issue from a year ago.latest update did not fix this issue.

### 1/5 — Trail Maps

*2018-05-22, version 3.2*

This app is terrible don’t waste your money none of the maps even download.

### 1/5 — Great idea, terrible execution

*2018-04-09, version 3.2*

Awesome idea except the crazy straight lines that are supposed to be trails. There is some issue how the map is reading the DNR data.

### 5/5 — Great Value!

*2025-01-10, version 4.0*

This app is fantastic!  I have been riding dirt bike trails for years with paper maps. For a trip to the UP I wanted a GPS map but didn’t want to invest in a dedicated GPS unit. This app is perfect on my iPhone. Easy to use, downloaded maps means no need for a cell signal and the maps are very accurate. My son had a minor crash and we used the app to find the fastest, most direct route back to our staging point. Will not ride without it now. Thank you for creating this helpful tool.

### 5/5 — Best MICHIGAN Mobil ORV trail app around!!

*2022-06-29, version 4.0*

This is the best Mobil Gps based app of Michigan Orv trails there is HANDS DOWN!!! You do not need service for this to work. It is based off your GPS. Only thing I wish they would add is the direction you’re currently traveling or maybe breadcrumbs other than that this app has helped me tremendously get around the trails in Michigan. Don’t hesitate and buy it.

### 5/5 — Worked well

*2020-07-14, version 4.0*

Spent a week riding trails. I thought it worked great!!!  Used it several time with no issues. Made the wrong turn and got off the trail this app made it easy to get back on the trail

### 5/5 — AWSOME app

*2020-06-28, version 4.0*

I love the app. Works perfectly on all the trails I’ve been on. Love the ability to transfer from standard to Satellite. A+++++

### 5/5 — Best snowmobile app ever!

*2020-01-26, version 3.7*

This is absolutely an amazing app.  The GPS is spot on.  I didn’t have to pull out a traditional map for our 1,000 mile UP snowmobile trip.  The only enhancements that would make this app even better would be daily location tracking and POI/gas stations.  Lastly, trail feedback.  I’d happily pay additional for these features.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2019-09-25, version 3.6*

The trails aren’t labeled very good when riding but using this app with gps is great because it shows your location on the map. It was well worth the $3 to get around here on the upper Peninsula! When you download it I recommend downloading ALL of the trails the four wheeler and the snowmobile trails you can get anywhere you want the area is covered in trails. We took an atv from paradise the whole way across!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-05-28, version 3.5*

This is a really handy app for anyone that rides ORV trails in Michigan! Especially when you ride a new trail. The map was accurate and easy to use. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — Nicely done trail map!

*2019-01-16, version 3.4*

I had been looking for a good snowmobile trail map app for when I’m snowmobiling in the UP. This app definitely seems to foot the bill. I’ll be using it for the first time next week in the UP. Only wishlist item I have is it’d be really cool if you could search for POI such as gas stations, restaurants, etc.

### 5/5 — More trails??

*2018-07-09, version 3.3.1*

This app is wonderful, I’ve been using it for about 2 years and my Dad has had it for longer. He has more trails than I do, but we have the same list of trails. In St. Helen, there is an off trail called St. Helen Trail - 1 or something to that sort. Long story short, did any maps get deleted or is there something that lets me download more? Other than that, amazing app!

### 5/5 — This app saved my life!

*2018-06-16, version 3.3*

I was tired of using the online DNR maps coupled with GPD to figure out where I was.  So I fortuitously downloaded this app before heading out. 

On June 16th, about 30 minutes into a remote trail my wife’s “50” trail width” UTV broke down.  There was no one in sight to ask for help and we had two small children with us.  The tie rod on her UTV was broken and it had rolled over. I looked on this app and noticed I was only 300 yards from a larger ORV trail that I could pull the UTV through the forest with my other ATV and get to civilization.

After a few hours and lots of work we all got back to the trailhead safely. Thank you to whoever wrote this program!  It may not be perfect but it is very helpful and is worth st least 99 cents. 

Please note on the maps where the parking and trail heads are located. This is the only missing feature. Again thanks so much.
