User reviews

Nice, but variety of units of measure would be nice

Imperial units in miles and feet would be nice. The simplifying is nice. But, more clear categories of hiking pace, trail on or off, pack weight, etc would be nice additions.

An Excellent Tool

A really nifty tool to work out how long your hike will take. This app is clean, easy to use, and incredibly easy to understand. Definitely helpful when planning walks/hikes in any terrain!

This is the Hike planning must have tool.

This app is brilliant! Finally a simple to use, accurate and incredibly useful hike time calculator. I’ve used Naismith’s Rule manually in a round about way for decades, but now with this app I just punch in the details and get a fast idea of how long the hike will take.
Anyone that hikes will get great use out of this app.
Kudos to the developer for making such a good app and making it free!
