Can't zoom on downloaded maps
I used this for the SF Crosstown Trail. Had to use live maps because I couldn't scroll and zoom on downloaded maps. Also, the maps were poor quality, only highlighting the route and not always showing alternate paths at intersections. Next time I might print paper maps
Crashes every time I try to use it
I can open the app then click on something like a hiking trial and it that opens but the moment I touch anywhere on the screen it crashes. I can reproduce this every time so it should be an easy bug to fix. Do that and I’ll reassess and update the rating if warranted. For now it’s one star since the app is unusable.

Trash
None of the “log in” buttons work. I’m so confused how I can’t do the hike challenge without logging in yet the app will not allow me to log in and set up an account.
Can’t login
Login won’t work, email sent with code but when pasted in says it doesn’t match. I wanted to participate in my parks program but this is too frustrating!
How to book cottages at CC
Is this the way we will be able to rent the cottages 6mo. out?
So Helpful
The thing I love most about the app is that once you find yourself in the park, you can use the map to make sure you are on the correct trail going in the direction you desire.
I love it.
I love it.
Not user friendly
Cannot get outings to check-in.
Love this
I didn’t know this app exists !!!! I wanted to go hiking and thank gods I accidentally step on this app !!!!
Needs improvement
Font is tiny and no way to adjust. Locations without details lock up the app.
Neat Hiking App
Great App for seeing all the secondary trails & hidden gems not noted on the regular park maps.
Impossible to sign up/log in
I would love to use this app, but it only sends codes to email, and both my email platforms read those as spam and blocked them before even getting to the spam folder. I can’t whitelist it without seeing the initial email address. How about a text option? No help menu either.
Just get all trails
Low count, decent overlay.
App is useless
This was supposed to replace the trail app put out by the Ohio DNR but it is garbage. Google maps has more trail info that this app
This app is trash
It’s embarrassing that the worlds 5th largest economy has this app for its state parks reservation system.
Want a specific date for that campsite reservation? You’re going to have to page through a calendar, one week at a time, just to get to the date and see if it’s even available.
Is your date 3 months out? Get ready to tap that screen for a while. Oh and if you try to go back, or inadvertently move your finger in any direction it doesn’t like, it closes your search and you get to start over.
Want to know when that park opens up? There’s a filter, but it doesn’t really work.
It’s pathetic. And I’m sure the great state of CA paid millions for it.
Recreation.gov is infinitely better. To the maker of this app: Do better, or better yet just give up the contract to a capable developer.

Why is this app not named CA State Parks? Weird name to try to remember
This is a cool app, but trying to remember the name of app to open is ridiculously difficult. Why isn’t the obvious name used relating to State Parks???
The app itself is of value please seriously consider changing name. More people would download with a name they could find and quickly identify its purpose.

App unusable at this time
On latest version. Search doesn’t result into anything and can’t see any maps, nothing.
Always “updating”
I’m not able to use this app. Every time I try it says “checking for updates”. I even went to the App Store and updated the there. Then opened. Same result. I’d really like to try this app but it has never worked.
Maps are broken
The map is completely broken. It shows no trails and says “No Results” even when I have no filters selected. Search function also doesn’t give any results.
I tried zooming in in the area of a couple state parks and still the map shows no trails at all.

Billed?
Updated Review
I re-downloaded the app, there was no window saying I had been billed. I can read “contact data collected” as being my contact information. This is an assumption. It would have helped me if the developer clearly stated it was only my contact data that was collected.
I live in Alaska and checked out two trails close to me. Good information and I will probably use this app in the future.
Old Review
As soon as I clicked to download a window popped up that I had been billed. Why this app wants access to my contacts I don’t know. What does that have to do with direction. I didn’t download the app.

Response from developer
UPDATED RESPONSE: Thanks for the additional context, clickclickbam. To be clear, Apple only gives us the ability to check a limited set of preset categories to communicate privacy info about the app. We only, however, use your contact info (email address and name) for product-related functionality like sending you email notifications that you choose to receive, allowing you to participate in challenges hosted by our partner organizations, etc. All of these features are opt-in. The app is completely functional even if you don't log in, in which case you do not need to provide any contact info whatsoever. PREVIOUS RESPONSE: Hello clickclickbam, the OuterSpatial app is completely free. If you were billed for something, you were billed by another app. Additionally, OuterSpatial does not ask for access to your contacts. It sounds like you may have been experiencing issues with another app.
Where’s the filter for overnight stay?
Need to find California state parks on the map where I can spend the night, driving thru down to Arizona. Maybe I’m missing something but all I see is hiking & other activities but not camping or overnight stay, just want to pull over spend the night sleeping in my vehicle legally & safely, willing to spend a park fee over staying at a motel or hotel where my vehicle might be broke into while sleeping in my room…
