### 4/5 — 산행기록

*2026-04-16*

운동기록용으로 잘쓰고 있습니다.
갤럭시는 인증 알림이 잘오는데 아이폰 바꾸고 나서는 잘안되네요.

### 3/5 — My ID is not changing

*2025-06-25*

Can someone change my ID that I edited? My Nick name is snowsurfingcat

### 4/5 — Deserves 5 stars but for wanting to add my own map overlays

*2024-05-24*

This little app for free does a lot of stuff. Everybody else is charging four. One of the things that’s really nice is the ability to see each other on the app so if you have friends that are hiking nearby our meeting up with you, you can see where they’re at. I would pay for this app except that it doesn’t do one thing I would like for it to be able to do: import my own maps overlays such a local campground maps. Then it would be 5 stars!

### 4/5 — 안녕하세요

### 5/5 — 등산 필수앱

*2023-02-24*

등산할때 너무 잘사용합니다. 
그런데 등산길이 없는곳이 많아요.
실제로는 있는데 말이죠.  
그런곳까지 잘 표현되면 좋을것같아요.

### 4/5 — Km별 안내 소리가 안들려요(아이폰)

*2022-10-14*

올해 등산을 시작하면서 램블러 알게되었고
모든 산행을 함께하고있어요
가고싶은산도 탐색해서 고도. 시간등의 정보를 얻고 따라가기기능도 잘쓰고있지요
최근들어 1km마다 알림소리가 띵똥 알리만있고. 얼마왔다. 몇분왔다. 이소리를 안해줘요. 알림도 다 켜두고 아이폰설정도 다 켜뒀어요. 같이간 지인도 같은상황. 지리산이었구요.  돌아와서 평지걸을때 해봐도 또 안되요. 아이폰 11, pro. 버전 16.0.2

### 5/5 — Awesome app for thru hiking

*2022-06-23*

I’ve used the Ramblr App for over 25 weeks of thru hiking across multiple hikes and many thousands of kilometres.  I use it to track my hike so I get awesome daily map and stats, write a daily trail journal (tip: write in another app like Notes and cut & paste into Ramblr) and attach selected and edited photos.  The result is an awesome daily trail journal that I both share and have turned into a printed coffee table book of my hike. 

The few times I’ve had issues, Ramblr support has been awesome and quickly fixed a bug.   Highly recommended!

### 4/5 — Oops…

*2022-06-12*

This has been my go-to tracker for years, and has been very reliable, more so than others I also use. But yesterday it froze while I was deleting a large map, and I had to reinstall everything, including all my downloaded maps (about 6 GB worth). Ah well….

### 5/5 — 넘 잘쓰고 있어요

*2022-05-25*

다 좋은데 스트라바나  릴라이브처럼 두손가락으로 지도 회전좀 가능하게 해주세요.  왼쪽밑에 n누르는거 말고 터치로 진행방향과 일치시키고 싶어요

### 5/5 — 다 좋습니다만

*2022-02-18*

그래도 그나마 많은 사람들이 이용하고 인증도 올리고 사진도 보고 그날그날 코스 정보도 얻고 유용하게 쓰고 있습니다. 지도도 그렇구요. UI 가 조금만 더 업그레이드 되면 너무 훌륭한 앱이 될듯 하네요.

### 4/5 — UI는 구리지만 등산에 유용한 앱

*2022-01-03*

앱의 실용성에 비해 디자인이 너무 올드하고 구려서 젊은 사람들은 사용을 꺼릴듯합니다. 
요즘 젊은 사람들도 등산인구가 증가하는 추세에 디자인의 개선이 시급합니다.

### 5/5 — 사용후기

*2021-10-26*

괸찮고좋아요
가는방향으로설정해서가다가
화면터치하면 다시설정한대로 안된고 그렇네요
화면이바껴서다시설정해야해요 수정부탁드립니다
화면 설정이 고정이안되네요

### 5/5 — Love this app for horseback riding in places I haven’t been!

*2021-10-16*

This app is the coolest thing because you don’t have to try to use a map to figure out where you are! You can follow someone else’s mouth! And I love that it beeps at you if you get off track! I do wish that you could just add to someone else’s trip so that you could add details like where A turn is or something to watch out for. It would be super helpful to be able to come bind that information into one tracking trip by adding to someone else’s trip they’ve already done.

### 5/5 — All Purpose in All Ways

*2021-10-02*

I’ve been using Ramblr for 3 years…to track everything I do that involves moving: walking, running, motorcycling, YTV, Road trips, horseback, you name it, Ramblr is my go to app. 
And I’ve used all kinds of apps. I always come back to this one bc I can track all my activities, and now I have a record of miles and miles and years of memories. I’ve got another more expensive app that I do like, but ultimately, if I had to choose, I’d choose Ramblr every time. And It has been remarkable stable and even the few times it had crashed, it somehow finished the route. 
The only issue I have particularly is that the signal gets lost in deep mountainous areas… but it’s hard to fault a program that can’t penetrate 14,000ft of solid rock…..😉

### 3/5 — Distance

*2021-06-17*

How do you change it to kilometres?

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-04-27*

Great app and idiot proof for a daffy like me who frequently got lost.

### 4/5 — 꾸준히 사용하고 있습니다.

*2020-11-19*

산행 시 길잡이 역할을 해주어 꾸준히 사용하고 있습니다. 
헌데 현재 작성중인 트립에 사진을 추가하고자 하면 튕김 현상이 발생합니다. 수정 부탁드립니다.

### 4/5 — 애플워치랑 호환됐음 좋겠어요

*2020-11-02*

다 좋은데 애플워치랑 호환이 안돼서 아쉬워요
워치랑 실시간 연동이 안되더라도
워치기록을 불러오기하는 기능이라도 있었으면 좋겠어요~~
다음 업데이트에 부디 반영되길 바랍니다🙏

### 1/5 — GPS 안맞음

*2026-07-11*

GPS 오류 때문에 달리던 위치랑 완전히 어긋난 곳으로 찍혀서 평소랑 비슷한 페이스였는데도 완전히 엉뚱한 기록이 찍혔습니다.. 일주일 전까진 괜찮았는데 갑자기 어제, 오늘부터 계속 문제가 발생하고 있어서.. 빨리 수정해주셨으면 좋겠습니다;;

### 1/5 — Doesn't work on iPhone 7 / iOS 13

*2019-12-16*

Running iOS 13 on iPhone 7 this app does not work - cannot sign up for an account (always takes me back to the initial screen asking me to sign up or log in), and triggers the "allow app to use location" notification repeatedly.

### 1/5 — This App CANNOT upload trips

*2019-06-30*

The app works well but you cannot upload your trips. What’s the point of tracking your trips if you cannot upload your trips for future reference or sharing them with others?

### 1/5 — Can't even sign up!

*2017-06-11, version 2.20.2*

I was excited about trying this app out. I logged in with FB (an option it gives) and it took me back to the login screen. I hit login with FB again and it says I already granted permission, but yet doesn't log me in. I then tried to set up a user name and password and it told me I didn't have a valid email address (asked to create a user name, not email) so I then typed in a email address, same message and blah blah blah it just went on and on. I am perfectly capable of setting up an account, but this app was useless. Disappointed and deleted.

### 1/5 — Cost

*2017-03-22, version 2.16.0*

So I download this app because it said that it was free, yet when I go to download and install this app, it charged me $8? I'm not cool with that!

### 2/5 — I loved this until my iPhone 12

*2020-12-05*

Just got a new iPhone and now Ramblr gives incorrect distances. Side by side with my  husband’s older phone, the 12 is way off. Support says they can’t fix it so I’m looking for a new tracking app. Too bad, been using this for years.

### 2/5 — Great app but doesn’t save photo metadata

*2020-04-05*

I really like the interface and features. The on problem I have is that when you take Photos within the app the metadata is not recorded so the gps data and all the other camera data is lost. Needs to be fixed before I’ll use

### 2/5 — Ok but kills battery

*2018-06-03*

Drains battery. Doesn’t even show satellite image for maps.

### 2/5 — Still limited

*2017-11-19, version 2.25.0*

The concept and features are definitely cool.  The UI needs a bit of work since it’s still optimized for an old screen like an iPhone 4 (you’ll see some pixelation).  We tried using it for road tripping doing a trip along the Route 66 and we weren’t even across a state and we got flagged with a limitation of 100 geolocations.  Why the limit?  We then need to create new trips.  I think the code needs a bit of work.

### 2/5 — So much potential but falls short

*2015-05-24, version 2.5.2*

Well, I do a lot of traveling and I'm in the hunt for an app that lets me download maps from anywhere in the world into my phone to use it offline. Getting lost in an unknown city, specially if you don't know the language it's not a fun thing to do. So an app that lets you download maps to the phone to use offline and mark places for easy navigation would be an amazing asset to any traveler.

So I've downloaded a very long list of apps looking for those features, but no luck. Actually I did find one called maps.me, but the maps are pretty useless. Most small streets don't have names on them and it has a lot of  other map errors.

When I first opened this app I got very excited thinking that I had found "the" app I've been looking for. Unfortunately I was let down when I realized that I could not mark a spot and save it for later reference or navigation to it. I do not care if the app gives me turn by turn directions, that is nice but it's not needed.

I need an app that let's me mark spots and shows me where I am and where the spot is on the map. That's all I need to find my way to where I'm going.

It's too bad that it only tracks you current walk or hike. If I could just drop pins a save them, this app would be perfect. Until I can find the app in looking for ill have to use my handheld hiking GPS unit.

### 5/5 — Was my favorite

*2026-07-13*

After testing this against several of my friends, I chose to use ramblr several years ago. It was great until it went from free to suddenly $59 a year!

### 5/5 — Great Tracking App

*2026-05-01*

I have been using Ramblr for a few years now and I love it. I track horseback trail riding and go back to previous rides frequently to take the same route again. It prevents me from getting lost because I can always see where I am. It has cut out on me a couple of times but overall very reliable.

### 5/5 — 결제 기간

*2026-05-01*

램블러 기능 없는게 없어요. 제일 좋은 건 찍은 사진을 pc에서 쉽게 다운받기 가능하다는것! 하나 바램이 있는데 년결제는 사실 부담이 많이 됩니다. 매월결제도 만들어주시면 부담없이 구독할 수 있을거 같아요! 부탁드려요!!!

### 5/5 — 당월 총 걸음수 표시 부탁드려요

*2025-05-31*

시에서 진행하는 걷기 대회 참여를 위해 매달 잘 사용하고 있습니다. 다만 당월 총 걸음수는 따로 확인이 어려워 불편합니다..ㅠ 추가 요청드립니다.

### 5/5 — 애플워치 동작

*2024-11-24*

안녕하세요 운동과 등산에 유용하게 잘 사용중입니다. 최근에 애플워치를 사용하게 되었는데 워치에서 실행은 되는데 멈춰 있네요. 뭐가 문제일까요? 기종은 애플워치 울트라입니다
좋은 앱 쓸 수 있어 기쁘고 감사합니다

### 5/5 — Reliably tracks my travels

*2024-09-01*

I use Ramblr to track hikes & walks with my dog, so haven’t gotten around to using many of its more advanced features (ex. finding trails). But for tracking it’s been a solid app that just does what I need it to do without glitches or draining the battery. Tracking seems very accurate. I like that I can add photo / video / notes along my route.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-06-25*

I’ve used ramblr for several years to track walks, hikes, and downhill skiing. I like being able to include photos with locations shown on the route.

### 5/5 — Horse trails

*2024-04-27*

So easy to use.  Using since the Fall of 2023.

### 5/5 — 아이폰15프로 팅김현상

*2024-03-10*

17.4올리고 아이폰15프론데….팅기네요…
검색해서 따라가기해더 팅기고ㅠㅠ
산에서 쫄았음 ..여즉 그런일이 없었는디…
앱끼리 충돌나는강????여튼 17.4올리곤 그전엔 안그랬던게 그러니 한번 살펴봐주이소!!

### 5/5 — 쓰기 편하고 좋아요

*2023-08-05*

램블러만 3년 이상 쓰고있고, 거의 200곳을 램블러와 등산했네요. 근데 제가 기능을 못찾는건지, 경로 이탈시 진동뿐 아니라 음성으로도 경로이탈 알림이 나왔으면 좋겠습니다. 산행중 진동이 와도 잘 확인 안하거든요. 반면 트랭글은 목소리로 경로이탈 알림이 와서 할수없이 두 어플을 함께 사용중입니다. 램블러를 주력으로 쓰고싶어도 소리로 안 알려주니 자꾸 길을 잃어서요. 꼭 필요한 기능이니 추가 요청드립니다.
