Amazing hiking app!!!

Perfect hiking app for finding and exploring trails wherever you are. I’ve discovered lots of new places and trails - me and my dog have really had a great time.

Thanks for the review! Glad to hear you and your dog are enjoying the trails, happy hiking

So Helpful!

I stumbled across this app when looking for a new hike as a relatively inexperienced hiker.
The directions were so descriptive and clear that it made finding parking, navigating the trail, and knowing what to expect so much easier!
There was even a little bonus info about a great view just off the trail that was well worth it.
Highly recommend!

Thanks for the review and kind words! Very glad that the app is helpful to you, happy hiking!

Good App!

I like this app, it does what I need it to and is very easy to use. It has a nice and simple design.
I like the ability to create routes and save them. I wish there were some editing tools, such as being able to combine multiple routes into one and to name individual routes.
Bottom line it makes my hikes easier, and I would definitely recommend it.

Good Alternative/Backup Hiking App

I have now used this app a few times. It seems very good and does all the basic things I would want from a hiking app! I think it tends to overstate mileage and altitude gain (and although one can edit a track, I don’t wish to feel the need to edit). So with that one caveat, this app will be my second hiking app (to be used simultaneously with a more high profile and long establish hiking app).

Howdy JPneus, thanks so much for the feedback and review! I'm really happy to hear that the app is working well enough for you, especially when compared to other well-established apps. Edit: I released v1.10.11 on July 24 2024 which addresses both elevation gain and total distance issues thanks to your bug report. Hope you find the update useful and happy hiking!

Tracking works great!

Used this app with no cell service in Rocky Mountain National Park while in the backcountry and tracked accurately for over 6 hours. I downloaded an offline map region before the hike and then got a bit lost along the way as the trails had minimal signage and multiple routes to take. The app displayed all possible routes and I chose the right one each time I got confused - without the app I would’ve been lost.

Unable to Explore Trails without being a Supporter

My user experience was the following. I normally hike without any app on paths I know through word of mouth or reading online. I was in a different city, on vacation and heard/read about a couple of trails. I then tried googling them and found myhikes.org the companion website for this app (which looks like a great resource). I noticed there was a “Send to App” button on the website, upon selecting this I was prompted with a Become a Supporter. I decided to download the app regardless as I thought the sending of trails from the website to the app was the feature that was locked behind being a Supporter. As in the App Store description it clearly states explore x number of trails etc. I figured I would just search the trail in the app and be on my way. Once opened I realized this is not the case and you must import them from another source like the website. Which is where my user journey ended.

Kind of disappointing because the features I cared about are locked behind being a supporter. Maybe allowing for “sending to app” of one trail is something to consider so someone in a similar situation as myself (which I believe to be common) can find out if becoming a supporter is worth it.

This is an updated review to state more clearly why I gave it the review I did. As the developer stated in there response I cannot attest to any of the other features in the application and I apologize for stating it as “useless” previously. It just didn’t meet my expectations for it based on my understandings.

Howdy Nicholas, you may not see this but as of v2.4.0 (launched in May 2025), MyHikes now has a free 7-day trial Supporter feature which allows users to explore all of the features, like downloading routes to the app. Previously launched, v2.0.0 MyHikes includes in-app search functionality, with filters, to allow users to browse trail guides in-app as well. Thanks so much for your feedback!
