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 🙂
They even cover the UK!
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
Wish I was younger!

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! 🥾

Best app for travels!
Response from developer
“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! 🌅

Great idea, then they ask for money…
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! We completely understand that everyone would prefer free access. The reality is that researching and verifying hundreds of locations, providing detailed information, continually adding new spots and maintaining the app takes hundreds of hours and significant ongoing investment. For Sole Drift to exist and keep improving, it has to be funded. We could fill the app with advertising instead, but we’d rather offer a clean, quick and easy experience built around planning adventures - not watching ads. We’re also proud that a portion of our profits goes towards environmental charities helping protect the places we all love to explore 🌎
Well done

Hahaha this might be our favourite review yet 😂 We’re not sure our map coverage extends all the way to Mordor just yet, but we’ll add it to the list.. Appreciate the support - although maybe sleep on the logo tattoo first 🤣

Disappointing app.👎
Response from developer
Sole Drift does offer free locations, but full access is a paid product - much like purchasing a travel guidebook in a shop. What makes Sole Drift different is the hundreds of hours of research behind it. Our members get access to hundreds of carefully researched locations, with exact coordinates and detailed information such as hike distance, duration, difficulty, facilities, phone reception, safety notes and more - all designed to take the research out of finding your next adventure. There’s a significant cost involved in researching, building and continually improving the platform, and we’re also proud to donate a portion of our profits to environmental charities helping protect the places we love to explore 🌿
Looks like it’s in beginning stage
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback! We’re a little surprised by the “very little content” comment, as Sole Drift currently includes around 1,000 curated locations across Australia alone.. and we don’t crowdsource our map or rely on users to build it for us. Every location is researched and selected by our team to maintain the quality of the spots featured. Locations can include exact coordinates, photos, descriptions, hike duration and distance, difficulty, safety information, facilities, phone reception, dog access and more - giving explorers the information they need to actually plan their visit, rather than simply providing pins on a map. As you mentioned you deleted the app within 5 minutes, it sounds like much of this may have been missed. We’d genuinely love for you to take another look and explore the map properly - there’s already a huge amount waiting to be discovered, with plenty more being added. 🗺️
Excellent App
Response from developer
Thanks so much! 🙌 Making it easy to discover unique places while giving you all the information you need to actually plan the adventure is exactly why we created Sole Drift. Really appreciate the support - and there are plenty more hidden gems and new features still to come! 🗺️🌿
An explorers must have app!
Response from developer
Love hearing this! 🙌 Taking away the hours of hunting across different websites and putting everything you need to discover and plan an adventure in one place is exactly why we built Sole Drift. Thanks so much for the support - hope you have an incredible time ticking them off! 🗺️🌿
Well done
You NEED this app !
Don’t think twice and use this app! Can’t believe no one has thought of this before !!
Response from developer
What a review - thank you! 😍 This is exactly the problem we wanted to solve with Sole Drift. Less time digging around trying to work out where to go and whether you can actually get there, and more time out exploring. So glad it’s been a game changer for your travels around Australia. Have an epic trip, and the UK gems will be waiting when you get home! 🇦🇺🇬🇧
The best app!!
Response from developer
Thank you so much! 🤩 We really wanted Sole Drift to be more than just a map, so it’s awesome to hear you’re enjoying the community side too. Finding incredible places is even better when you can swap recommendations and connect with people who are just as keen to explore. Thanks for being part of it! 🤝🏼⛰️
