### 5/5 — Australia trip MUST-HAVE

*2026-08-25*

This is an absolute must have for anyone travelling Australia. Google and ChatGPT will always point you to the overcrowded well known spots (even if they claim not to be) but there really are some properly curated hidden gems on this. Type of spots that are really memorable. I’ve been living in Australia for 2+ years and love exploring the off the beaten track beaches, waterfalls, etc. So so so worth it. 11/10.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-25*

Easy to use, with so many hidden gems :)

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-08-25*

Such a help app. So many hidden gems on there and perfect for both first time travellers and residents

### 5/5 — Absolute lifesaver when travelling

*2026-08-25*

So easy to use, and the map function is so useful for finding hidden gems

### 1/5 — paywall

*2026-08-24*

looks great on paper but make you sign up before revealing everything is behind a paywall.

**Developer response:** Full access is paid, yes - hundreds of hours go into researching and verifying locations, providing detailed information, adding new spots and maintaining the app. That simply couldn’t exist for free. We do include free locations so you can explore the app before deciding to join 🙂

### 5/5 — They even cover the UK!

*2026-08-23*

I follow them on personal blog accounts on Insta and I am always envious of the adventures they go on and when they launched the App I thought “I have to check this out!”. They cover UK and Australia. They have researched and travelled to offer the best advice and experiences. I can pick and choose what I want and save them for future adventures which I have started going on. I was never sure where to start but now I have something.

I would love them to add South East Asia and places like that but the amount they are travelling and the work they are putting in I am happy to wait - just a personal choice and who knows, by the time I get through all these ones it may happen 🤣 - PS love the videos and content

### 5/5 — Wish I was younger!

*2026-08-20*

Now in my 70’s and lived an outdoor life of adventure, exploring and travel since a kid. Thought I knew it all but since using Sole Drift, how wrong I was! Have already discovered views, treks and lots of other wonders that I didn’t know existed. This is a serious in depth app that gives you all the info you need in a clear, precise and easy to use way but still manages to make you feel like you’re finding something new on your own. Love it, just wish I have enough years ahead of me to use it fully.

**Developer response:** This one genuinely means a lot to us ❤️ Adventure definitely doesn’t have an age limit! The fact that after a lifetime of exploring, Sole Drift is still helping you discover places you never knew existed is about the best compliment we could receive. We hope there are many, many more tracks, views and hidden wonders still waiting for you. Keep exploring! 🥾

### 5/5 — Travel Must Have

*2026-08-20*

Having just moved to Australia this app has been amazing for exploring so many different and cool places that otherwise I would have never new about!

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-20*

love this so much!!

### 5/5 — Best app for travels!

*2026-08-20*

I have had so much fun using this app to explore new places! It takes so long trying to research places to go but sole drift takes all the faff out of it and makes it super easy to find hidden gems. If you are travelling, get it!!

**Developer response:** “Takes all the faff out of it” - exactly what we’re aiming for 😂👌🏼 Travel should be about getting out there and experiencing new places, not spending hours researching where to go. Thanks for the awesome review and for recommending Sole Drift to other travellers! 🌅
