### 2/5 — Stops logging if at all!

*2026-07-20, version 4.7.1*

I’ve been using MTB Project for years. And only recently have I found that it has not been logging my rides.  Or, it logs only pieces of the ride.  I know there’s not charge, but if it’s not going to work. What’s the point?

### 2/5 — Unstable

*2026-07-05, version 4.7.1*

Crashes often, UI is hideous and text runs into graphic blocks. Borderline unusable.

### 2/5 — App crashing

*2026-05-22, version 4.7.1*

The app keeps crashing and closing out on its own whenever I try and zoom out on the main map, it’s very annoying.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-05-14, version 4.6.14*

App shuts down frequently when zooming out or moving the map

### 2/5 — Getting worse

*2026-05-03, version 4.6.14*

Was great before Onx bought it. Now it’s laggy and crashes often. Never crashed before Onx ruined it

### 3/5 — Works ok with a few major bugs

*2026-05-01, version 4.6.14*

I love this app for planning rides, but for usinig it to navigate it has several major issues. The first is it constantly pops up a spammy window for Onyx mapping, somtiimes this window will not close on my phone. It happens constnatly. 

The other issue is when I'm trying to use the app to navigate on a ride, if I use my phone for a brief time to take a photo, I come back to the app and it is back at the home screen of the app and I have to try to find my way back to the ride I was on. This can be a big issue if I do not have cell reception.

### 4/5 — Great app, needs some love

*2026-03-22, version 4.6.14*

This is definitely the best app for mountain biking, but I wish OnX would put a little effort into making sure it doesn’t crash, and add a feature to sort/filter by condition status.

### 3/5 — Keeps crashing

*2026-02-01, version 4.6.12*

maps keep crashing on iphone when you try to zoom in or out.

### 1/5 — Crash and burn

*2025-12-01, version 4.6.12*

Can’t stay open for more than 10 seconds without crashing. Unusable.

### 3/5 — Needs One Feature For Me

*2025-11-21, version 4.6.12*

MTB Project is a good app for mountain bikers but it misses out on one key feature I need. There is no field for eMTB. A huge number of single track and some double track in my state (Oregon) is off limits to eMTB. Bummer, because we respect the trails and other users. MTB Project offers nothing helpful to eMTB riders.

### 4/5 — Great App

*2025-11-09, version 4.6.12*

This is a great app and I love it.  I do wish that it had a navigation type mode to help me turn the right way.  It’s still great though!

### 2/5 — What happened to This App

*2025-10-11, version 4.6.10*

This app used to be amazing. I have years of saved trails and now the app is nearly unusable without . 

I’ve had to keep redownloading it because it’s so buggy. So disappointing.

### 2/5 — Repeated error message for location

*2025-10-10, version 4.6.10*

Used to work just fine. Now, no matter what I’ve adjusted in settings and re-uploaded restarted, etc., I keep getting error messages and can’t record rides. Also it still has not updated maps for a very well-known trail system in Southeast Wyoming.

### 1/5 — Just tried this today

*2025-10-04, version 4.6.10*

Garbage app. You failed the project

### 3/5 — Love it, but…

*2025-10-02, version 4.6.10*

MTB Project is a fantastic app for finding trails, but when in an area with on and off cell signal the app was crashing constantly. Fortunately, I had other map apps to help me navigate. I was following a pinned route and it was very frustrating to have the app continuously crash trying to find my way. To the developers, please make the app function better without cell service and with on and off service. Many of the locations I like to MTB have limited service.

### 1/5 — Crashes ALL THE TIME

*2025-09-24, version 4.6.10*

There are no words for how much rage this app gives me now. It crashes constantly. I’ve been using it for 4 years and have never had this problem. Whoever made these unstable changes should be fired immediately. I look forward to someone duplicating this exact app but without the crashing. I will switch in a heartbeat

### 1/5 — Map is Wrong

*2026-08-31, version 4.7.1*

The base map for this app is wrong. It sucks. It’s got the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario misnamed do not use.

### 1/5 — Stops logging if at all!

*2026-08-14, version 4.7.1*

I’ve been using MTB Project for years. And only recently have I found that it has not been logging my rides.  Or, it logs only pieces of the ride.  I know there’s not charge, but if it’s not going to work. What’s the point?

08/11/2026:  Started the app, made sure it started and at the end of the ride I checked the status and it dropped somehow.   UGGH

### 1/5 — No dark mode in 2026

*2026-07-26, version 4.7.1*

App works okay-ish. Can’t maneuver the map while reordering as it constantly wants to recenter. Date picker when checking in doesn’t work and keyboard won’t show up.

### 1/5 — OnX ruined this app

*2026-07-21, version 4.7.1*

This used to be my go to app for finding trails.  After OnX purchased this app it became virtually unusable.  It crashes all the time!!  

It’s especially frustrating because mtb project and mountain project were community built projects with users uploading data of their rides that helped make these maps possible.  OnX ruined a wonderful collaboration between users and developers!  OnX is absolutely terrible for our community.

### 1/5 — Removal of GPX files and other issues

*2026-06-17, version 4.7.1*

The app doesn’t make it easy to reset your password. Also there are no longer GPX options to download to a Garmin.

### 1/5 — Glitchy and Paywalled

*2026-06-14, version 4.7.1*

Ever since combing with onx the app just crashes out when loading longer routes. They need to put more development resources into it if I am paying for it with an Onx account.

### 1/5 — Nothing but crashes

*2026-06-06, version 4.7.1*

Used the app for years with no issue, but using it with low service now and it continuously crashes. Very disappointing and makes the app completely unusable. Also please update your UI for Liquid Glass, the app looks terrible

### 1/5 — Always crashes

*2026-05-10, version 4.6.14*

I really want to like this app, but no matter what I do, whether it’s zooming out to look at maps, or search trails, the app always crashes. Worth noting I’m on a new iPhone 17 Pro

### 1/5 — It used to be amazing!

*2026-05-03, version 4.6.14*

It crashes all the time now. They are only keeping it around to drive people to OnX.

### 1/5 — Crashes more than I do

*2026-02-22, version 4.6.12*

This app crashes more that wile-e-Coyote. It’s gone downhill

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-06-18, version 4.7.1*

Made by the same creators of Hiking Project, this is an amazing app. No big companies asking for their $30 premium for the most basic of features. No ads, only just pure trails and community help. Please let me marry these developers.

### 5/5 — Complete package.

*2026-03-13, version 4.6.14*

Love the app.  As good or better than other trail apps.

### 5/5 — Love it but

*2025-10-15, version 4.6.10*

Please keep it more current. It’s my go to and I depend on it but lately it’s been crashing and starting to feel dated. Please keep it alive.

### 5/5 — Uninstalled and reinstalled now it works

*2025-10-04, version 4.6.10*

I have used this app for years and have loved it the whole time. I noticed after the new iOS update that it would crash when opening. I thought it might be due to some old maps so I uninstalled and reinstalled it now it works fine.

### 5/5 — Better and Better

*2025-08-27, version 4.6.10*

This app has it all for MTB enthusiasts. Accurate and easy to read. 
A must get app!!

### 5/5 — Favorite app

*2025-08-08, version 4.6.10*

I like this better than Trailforks or AllTrails.  Works well out of service.

### 5/5 — Best MTB app around.

*2025-07-10, version 4.6.8*

My favorite MtB app. I wish more folks used it and kept trail pictures and conditions current. I’ll do my part!

### 5/5 — The only option

*2025-07-05, version 4.6.8*

Let me just say that it is not as complete as other apps, but I don’t have to pay a monthly subscription to search for trails. They are not about making money, they are about mountain bikers having fun.

### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app!

*2025-05-17, version 4.6.8*

Always able to find a new place to shred! Thanks MTB Project! Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Thank You!

*2025-05-03, version 4.6.8*

I’ve been using MTB Project for years. It’s my favorite trail app and I appreciate REI gifting to all of us
