Audio instructions are garbage
I love this app and I so appreciate that it’s both free and ad-free. However, for the love of god do not rely on the audio instructions. They’re intermittent at best, usually slow, and often silent all together. Do not rely on them. You will get lost. You must keep an eye on the map.
Occasionally is great, but some of the suggestions are incorrect to the point of being dangerous
The first couple times using this app was a generally good experience (albeit a little glitchy), I appreciate being able to customize and explore different routes. The last time I used it, it kept trying to recommend a “trail” that is actually just a freeway, with no sidewalks… if I wasn’t familiar with my area that could have gotten dangerous quickly. It also seems to avoid one of the most popular running routes in my area like the plague, which is quite strange. Overall great concept but there are areas for improvement for sure.

Fantastic App
Found this app through an old Reddit thread and it really helped me get back into running. Discovered new trails near my house to run that I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise.
Great app BUT
It’s what I was looking for: a simple app for finding routes for outdoor activities in my surroundings without subscription, tracking and other BS. I ran my first suggested route and it was great. I saw tracks I didn’t know about.
BUT
The biggest flaw however is the missing audio output when the display is inactive. That’s basically 50% of what I would expect in such an app: navigation by audio without the need to hold your smartphone in your hand to look on the screen all the time. If this gets fixed and the text-to-speech becomes multilingual, this would be a five star app, even worth paying for (once, no subscription!!!).

Tolle App, aber…
Ich hatte massive Probleme beim Erstellen eigener Routen. Es wurden Loops erstellt, die keinen Sinn ergeben. Beim Setzen der Punkte wurden Loops erstellt oder plötzlich die Route um einige Straßen komplett verschoben. Es gab Schwierigkeiten, die Punkte zu löschen. Ich musste mehrmals auf Löschen klicken, bis sich endlich etwas getan hat. An einer Stelle hatte er Schwierigkeiten, so dass er mir die ganze Route zerschossen hat. Ich kann nicht zählen, wie oft ich die Route von vorne begonnen habe, bis ich die App frustriert gelöscht habe

Please make this app better
This app is awesome it just needs some updates on it as the navigation is poor all over the place have to keep stopping and zooming out to try and get back on track if this was to be updated I would happily pay for this app as I am keen runner and this sends me places I have never known about and love running new routes especially trail and hilly ones please work on this app it has so much potential

Mediocre
Without the ability to set waypoints, all it can do is suggesting some random routes between A and B. Or suggesting some random round trips around A. It has a nice interface and it seems to be free alright. But given the lack of functionality, it has little to no use for me.
Fantastic for finding new routes!
This app is such a wonderful little service that lets me map running routes! What a gem!
Hidden gem for working out
This app is just legendary. It‘s so nice to create routes with it and then use the resulting GPX for working out outdoors. I have seen corners around my place that I didn‘t even know exist!
Running will never be boring again because I can always run a new route.
Absolutely great.

Simple, effective, useful
Does one thing and does it pretty well. I’m a fan!
Easy and worked well
Really glad I discovered this app. Exactly what I needed. Actually showed some paths that were not on Google maps which was great. Nice to be able to easily choose distance preference and then have a range of choices. And particularly love the ‘greenary %’ feature.
Great concept, needs work
I love the idea of this however the route planning is bad. You can’t use decimals and the suggested lengths are not “normal” running lengths ie. 3.1, 6.2, 13.1 etc.
Many routes it comes up with are no where near the length you chose. I searched for a 9 mile route and I was getting 15-20 mile routes. Only 3 were near the 9 miles requested.
The routes have me crossing over major roads where there is no crosswalk. One road has traffic going 50+ mph 4 lanes wide and the app wants me to cross that.
I would love this app if the routing were better and if I could edit the suggested route to avoid roads I know are unsafe to cross.

Exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you for making this!
Super App
Creates routes that you didn’t know existed near where you are. Sometimes it can lead you to an area that is not possible to go down - possibly because it hasn’t been updated in two years. If the developer reads this, please, start to update the app. It’s excellent. Best
Love idea needs some tweaks
Hi,
Is there a way to mark streets as unsafe? Also, would it be possible to add a decimal for custom length options? I tried to enter 2.5 miles but don’t see a way to do so.
Thanks!

Needs work
Navigation is so laggy and misleads lots of the time voice narrator doesn’t work and the “running routes” have you going across busy highways and intersections. Yikes

Do people still say that? Haha. I’m about to recommend everyone on facebook running pages this app. I’ve been trying to get back into running but creating my own route with an estimate on distance and this is the one. No hidden fees or annoying ads. I’ve already created so many different routes that I can run on and i’m super excited. Highly recommend!!

Good. Need some improvements
Excellent app. The UI/UX is simple, easy to learn and adapt to. The web page is also easy to use for mapping your own routes. I’ve found when executing the route, it randomly “pause”, usually when I lock my phone screen. When re-open the app, it would ask to “resume” the route, but I’ve gone further already. The turn-by-turn nav would be a great feature, but also rarely work. I want to request new feature that let the user manually add a turn prompt on the planned route. Example: at way point 2, an option to add a prompt to turn left, right, or keep straight.

Superb
Provides really interesting routes for walking and running which can be exported. One small bug is if you choose to ‘share’ the route and then click share again on the same route you get an error. Otherwise fantastic app
Works brilliantly
Great app for creating walks and loading them into my watch (WorkOutDoors).
Needs a donation page so I can buy the author a coffee or something to thank him (or her?) for his great work.
