OnX bought and ruined this app

OnX bought this app- along with the other “protect” apps- some time ago, squeezed all of the trail data they could out of it, and input that data into their subscription-based mapping software and essentially kicked this app to the curb. It crashes ~90% of the time I use it. I’d expect a higher standard from a company based in Colorado.

An engineer’s running app

It is simple and to the point. This app is a tool, and it works really well. It has the two features I need it to have: an efficient, responsive UI, and a rich database of routes. The only feature I would suggest is the ability to export routes as GPX files to use on my watch. But, when I need it I recreate the route in GAIA, so it’s not a big deal. Go Running Project!

Great data, poor UI

I love the idea of this app and use it a lot on both the web and mobile. But over the years the UI and ability to load the data has grown worse and worse. At this point the app on my device crashes about 50% of the time.

Inaccurate info for the Blue Mountains (Australia)

This rating is for the trails in the Blue Mountain area of Australia.
Some of the trails are closed (including the National Pass route which has been closed for several years due to a fatal rockfall). Many others have start points which require an hour or more hiking to get to the start point (eg the Mount Solitary one and the ones around the Coxs River).

There appears to be only one trail (the Prince Henry clifftop track) that is actually open and accessible.

Almost perfect….

Love the app!! Fantastic resource with very good detailed maps and routes. The only thing I wish that I could do with app would be to have the ability to download routes to my Garmin Fenix7 watch so I can follow some of the trickier routes without being my phone.

Great resource and tool

I live in a Rural area, but in a Valley near PLENTY of mountains. I’ve had difficulty finding established trails/routes for trail running in the area using many of the “go-to” popular routing apps, or even the community resources. I was started to think there just weren’t actual trails nearby, until I came across this website (and then app) that had 20-30 trails/routes within a 40 minute drive of me. Turns out, these were the trails everyone was using, but for some reason they also had the least information about them available online, except for this app. Looking in other areas, this app has so many trails that are missing from others for those areas as well. Definitely my new “go-to” app for trails and routes.

Waaaaay too complicated

I have mapped many trails that are from state parks and it is like there is a barrier between the app and the website. Taking a trail run that I just completed should be easy to submit into the trails index. Instead, it is so complicated that I have yet to submit one.

No way to download GPX data

The app is fine I guess but there’s no option to download GPX data.

Awesome

This app is fantastic. I have been using it for years. I wish there was an easy way to add trails

My go-to adventure map

I have saved myself and a few other lost hikers with this map. Even without a decent signal it can, most of the time, show the basic blue locator dot and trail lines. Super easy to plan stops, distances, connector trails using the satellite image. People cannot believe it’s free. I worked at Rei and no one knew about it. Elevation profile on the main page, being able to highlight each section is just beautiful. I cant say enough about it.

Looking for trails, not roads.

I live outside of the Fort Bragg, NC area; nearby St Pauls, NC.

The first day I used this app, I drove 45 minutes to discover the “trail” on this app was nothing more than a long stretch of highway. Also, the app doesn’t have the few existing trails I know of. I’d bet this app is fine for areas where trail running is already popular, but for folks that don’t live in the mountains, there still isn’t an app worth downloading. Hope that changes in the future.

A great app for planning fun routes

I use this app all the time to plan routes for outings. I like to use it on the go too, if I download areas before hand I usually can use the gpx tracks even in the wilderness. The elevation profiles are very helpful, especially the green/yellow/red zones which show you which sections are runnable.

Buggy, difficult to navigate, non reactive

That sums it.

Best Hiking/Trail App by Far!!

I use this app daily and tell everyone I meet on the trail about it. The data it provides - at zero cost - is truly remarkable and much appreciated. Fantastic app for hiking, trail running, and planning future hikes. I absolutely love it. Thank you for such a quality product!!!

Awesome app

So your experience may vary depending on what region you are in, but here in Colorado this app has been invaluable for finding new trails to go run. Love it.

Great app! No cell data connection needed

Great app with good guidance, good info from others, and I love that, once you download the maps, you don’t need a cell data signal to use the app. This is very helpful in remote areas with poor cell service. The app still gives you a live specific and generally accurate location on the screen. That makes it harder to get lost.

We need a watch app

App is great, but would be killer if we had a watch app to track runs, and even better if it could use the map to keep you on track

The Best

I love this app, sending a big thank you to all the folks that have made finding new trails easy peasy!

Best app for trail running, hiking as well

Finally a great outdoors app. AllTrails is barely functional, and this app is outstanding. Major props to the UX/UI team, and the developers in general; this is my goto app for any outdoor activity now.

Love This App!!

I am a new trail runner so I have found this app incredibly helpful! I had no idea that there are so many wonderful places to run and this make makes them accessible to everyone! I’m so happy to be able to log my runs, contribute reviews and photos to the community of runners, and get to know the natural beauty of my state. I think running outdoors is going to really help me this year - especially considering that many activities are closed due to the pandemic. Thank you so much to all of those who contributed to the creation of this wonderful app!
