Garbage in- garbage out

Trailbot is a great idea and a very easy to use app. I like being able to look in a variety of trails, even in different states.
It relies, of course, on how often the trail stewards update the conditions. If that’s not happening then the whole system doesn’t work.
I have tried to use the function in the app to push for an update but with limited (or not visible) success. Thats my only ding on this app.

Hi there, thanks for the review. I have built reminders and other gentle nudges into the system so that trail managers update more often. The "Thanks" and Checkin functions also go a long way to show trail managers that you're seeing and appreciating their updates. Beyond that, most trail managers are volunteers with limited time. Trailbot has dramatically increased the regularity of updates for the majority of the trail systems using the app, but it will never be perfect. I'd recommend getting to know your local trail stewards better by volunteering at work days or other events which may encourage more regular updates, give you the access to make updates yourself, or help you understand why updates might not be happening as often as you'd like.

Great app

Our go-to to check on trail conditions and status.

Awesome app!

Love this app and the improvements that have been added. It’s my go to before heading out on a ride. Trail conditions are always updated with the latest info.

Five Stars

I love this app the fact that it’s always there and is super accurate is so nice. I also love that it’s locally owned by a bike shop and there’s no fee. I’ll be using this the rest of my mountain biking experience!

So thankful!

I am a trail manager in MN and I’m so thankful that Trailbot exists! Trailbot makes it really easy for us trail managers to communicate with the mountain biking community as far as closures and other information that we need to put out. I honestly don’t know how we would do such a good job of communicating information without it! As a mountain biker I am also really grateful that I can get up to date info on the trails I’m going to ride. Trailbot is awesome! Thanks Trailbot!!

Great but needs community feedback on status

The app is simple and does what it says: tells you the latest status of a trail (so long as someone is updating the status regularly). It would be 5 stars if it allowed users to post comments on trail conditions to share locations of downed trees, standing water, or whatever. Is this coming in the future? App feels unfinished without this.

Hi there, thanks for the feedback. You can report issues for a trail system, tap the Flag icon and the report will go directly to trail managers. In the future trail managers will have the option to make issue reports public with comments. Please feel free to email me your feedback directly any time at hi@trailbot.com. This is a 1-person side-project, so I try to add features whenever I can based on the feedback I receive. -John

It happened!

I’m pretty familiar with Trailbot since I am a volunteer and have updated our trail status. It’s such a great tool for us volunteers to update and receive trail reports from riders.

Today I was riding elsewhere in the state at a trail I don’t follow (shout out Pincushion up on the MN north shore) and came across a downed tree. Pulled out my phone, found the trail, and filed a report with the location and photo of the tree all in about a minute.

One thing that may be nice is to make location sharing the default on reports? I assume it wouldn’t work if you didn’t have service at the time, but I had to remember to click the button. It’s helpful for trail managers to have that info.

Use it all the time

This is a great resource to check on trail status and to be sure we are not tearing up the trails.

Helpful app, but I have to restart every time

Love it, but I have to restart it every time I want to use it. On the initial open, it just hangs on the green Trailbot loading screen, and never advances. After a force close and reopen, it loads up immediately.
