### 3/5 — Shows trails, meh on UI

*2026-08-18, version 2026.4.5*

It’s just ok.

### 3/5 — Trailforks w/Outside

*2026-08-07, version 2026.4.4*

App is WAY too complicated

### 2/5 — What have you done?

*2026-08-06, version 2026.4.4*

It keeps asking me to pay for a subscription every time I zoom in to see the MTB trails. Not the best I have to use ride pal now.

### 2/5 — Money grab

*2026-08-06, version 2026.4.4*

Okay I am about to straight up delete this app. I made an account, but app is unusable without paying a subscription. Part get shaved away more and mor over time. Now you can’t see elevation profile or even use the search bar.

### 2/5 — New map planner on desktop is terrible

*2026-07-30, version 2026.4.4*

Ride planner was fine and works great . The new design is terrible , with half the window with a useless dialog window and unable to draw and drop marker no matter how hard I tried

### 5/5 — More useful features than you can imagine

*2026-07-27, version 2026.4.4*

This is by far one of the most useful apps that I have ever used. I am a bit biased being a mountain biker for the past 35 years with industry work and racing in my past. The many ways this app has used rider curated data to elevate and facilitate the sport of mountain biking is mind boggling. Well done gang. I cannot do enough to support this app and it’s creators. Mountain biking has fueled my life and Trailforks has super boosted the ability of riders to explore the world of mountain biking. Hands down the best apps a rider can put on their phone!

### 5/5 — Great Biking App

*2026-07-25, version 2026.4.4*

Easy and intuitive.

### 5/5 — The must have app for every mountain biker!

*2026-07-25, version 2026.4.4*

I used Trailforks for a few years now, mountain biking all over the US and parts of Europe. I couldn’t think what it would be without… and don’t want to think about it.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-25, version 2026.4.4*

Great app, very useful

### 5/5 — Free offline map

*2026-07-23, version 2026.4.4*

Offline map is free

### 5/5 — Best new guy guide

*2026-07-22, version 2026.4.4*

Moved to Montana and it’s been my guide to finding all the flow trails and some of the downhill trails I should NOT have been on but it was awesome.

### 3/5 — Does the job

*2026-07-20, version 2026.4.4*

It works great for searching for trails in different areas. But hard to create routes to use later. And it doesn’t integrate properly with other devices and rides don’t get uploaded to trailfork.

### 1/5 — Shady business practice

*2026-08-19, version 2026.4.5*

Trailforks used to be a great app even if you used the free version. So much so that everyone started to use it and it was THE option for adding and finding trails. Then they completely gutted the free version of the app and made it unusable. They increased their prices a bunch as well. Seems real shady

### 1/5 — 0 customer support

*2026-08-11, version 2026.4.4*

This is indeed my favorite mtb app out there, I've been using it for years.  It's great, until you have a problem!  Recently my app stopped working and saying "user has been deactivated" when I try to login. I have tried everything to login or reset my account, even tried to set up a new account which gave me a different error. I have reached out multiple times on 3 separate occasions for assistance from customer support. I receive an email with a ticket number indicating that they have received my request and will be in contact soon. I never receive any follow ups. I have reached out multiple times and always receive the confirmation email but never ANY support or solutions. If quality customer service is important to you I would look elsewhere.

### 1/5 — Very disappointed. It’s only “pseudo-free”—it’s practically impossible to use unless you pay for it.

*2026-08-09, version 2026.4.4*

Very disappointed. It’s only “pseudo-free”—it’s practically impossible to use unless you pay for it. Almost every click redirects you to a purchase page.

Don’t mislead people. Be honest and clearly state that it’s a paid app, because the free version is essentially unusable.

### 1/5 — Navigation sucks

*2026-08-08, version 2026.4.4*

I wanted an Apple Watch app that had a map function to help navigate new trails.  This failed.  No turn by turn alerts or instructions during routes.  No audible or haptic notifications for upcoming turns or notifications for being off route.  Frustrating to say the least!

### 1/5 — leider nicht mit Garmin Edge verwendbar

*2026-08-08*

sehr geehrtes Support Team, leider ist die App nur auf Englisch und nicht in Deutsch benutzbar. Ich habe mich mit meinem Apple Account angemeldet. Leider funktioniert das auf dem Edge nicht. Ich kann leider auch nicht finden nicht mal mit der KI wie man sich anmelden kann, dass das funktioniert.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-04, version 2026.4.4*

This app in pro version is basically useless. If you use on your phone it will cut out when you dont have coverage which is almost every MTB trail. If you try to use it with a bike computer like a garmin edge it wont synch.  When you subscribe it constantly asks you to “renew” your subscription and even then it still does not give you the pro features.

### 1/5 — hot garbage

*2026-08-03, version 2026.4.4*

forced update, app crashes without letting me see any details, just a bunch of pressure to upgrade to pro. with how it’s functioning currently for me, i’m not going to pay money for something that doesn’t seem to work at all and/or isn’t giving me a real option either way.

### 1/5 — Canceled renewal took away 10mo access

*2026-07-26, version 2026.4.4*

I bought a year subscription, then canceled the renewal with 10moths remaining and they block access to all the pro features that I paid for, scummy setup.

### 1/5 — Barely usable without paying

*2026-07-11, version 2026.4.4*

Pretty much everything is locked behind a paywall now. Used to be a great app smh

### 1/5 — Trail forks is not good because

*2026-07-10, version 2026.4.4*

It always nags you to upgrade to pro I try to look up a trail and then it comes up to upgrade to pro so many times it sooo annoying

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Trailforks

*2026-08-20, version 2026.4.5*

Always provides great places to go wherever you are

### 5/5 — Good maps

*2026-08-16, version 2026.4.4*

Good maps stay up-to-date regularly doesn’t make you fill out a five paragraph essay to track a ride has a really good community behind it

### 5/5 — Best app for MTB

*2026-08-15, version 2026.4.4*

I used to pay for AllTrails but since I am using the app mostly for MTB, I prefer Trailforks

### 5/5 — Super useful

*2026-08-08, version 2026.4.4*

Love this app. Helps us so much on trails

### 5/5 — MNT BIKE

*2026-08-07, version 2026.4.4*

Still the best I believe!

### 5/5 — Best yet

*2026-08-06, version 2026.4.4*

Most accurate useful app I found for mountain biking once you pay the subscription. I do wish the free version didn’t try and sell you on the subscription almost every time you touch the screen but for less than five dollars a month it’s worth it! Opened up the world for me and is useful for finding trails specific to your chosen activities

### 5/5 — Trail map app

*2026-08-02, version 2026.4.4*

Simply put this is a wonderful app for navigating the mountain bike trails around where I live in Watham County Washington

### 5/5 — Best of the best!

*2026-08-01, version 2026.4.4*

My goto for mapping trails.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-08-01, version 2026.4.4*

So accurate. So clear!

### 5/5 — Great ap

*2026-07-30, version 2026.4.4*

Ap is awesome….still learning it
