Great to convert
Great to convert kms to gpx and vise versa
TrailRunner mini gpx editor
Using trailrunner to make a video of exciting trip to New Zeland..works well with Google Earth to fill in places where no pics were taken...
great app, awesome on iMac
I train using an old Garmin 305. Garmin Training Center software has not been updated in many years, and no longer works on modern macOS's. So I use an old macOS 10.12 Sierra virtual machine to download my training data from my 305 (using the last version Garmin Training Center), then I export the data as .TCX or .GPX files, which I then import to Trail Runner mini on my modern iMac (2020, running Big Sur 11.7.8), and, voila, all my routes immediately appear on beautifully detailed, interactive maps, along with elevation profile. If you're as old school as all this, I would highly recommend Berbie's app as a way to continue using your favorite old Garmin.

Tracks all my running routes
This is probably the best Mac-based running route app. I use the iOS iSmoothRun on iphone for actually running and export runs to Trailrunner mini via Dropbox. It's nice to see my routes on a bigscreen vs just on my iphone.
The app did hang a couple of times when I tried to import a large number (200-300) of my past exported runs. I did import them successfuly by reducing the number of imports at one time.
I wanted an app that allowed me to export all my run data and Trailrunner mini does this—a hard requirement for me. I refuse to use other apps that lock your data in and prevent you from exporting it. I've been bitten too many times when many apps eventually stop being supported and you lose your data.
The subscription cost is well worth having a good app. Developers need to support themselves too, I don't understand how others can complain that developers should give away their hardwork for free. :–((

Very useful app
I find the mapping great - it enables me to see my runs and cycle routes on a big screen.
How do you cancel the subscription?
Evidently, a subscription begins when you download the app. However, there is not a way to cancel the subscription.
Response from developer
Hi! You can check your subscription status in the menu item TrailRunner mini > Manage Subscriptions. Or directly in your AppleID account.

Useful tool...
I use TRm to plan and document hikes and it is capable in this regard. Developer regularly improves/maintains app, and has been resposive to my inquiries. Recommended.
Not free and doesn't work well
Although this is listed as Free, it's not. I was able to load one gpx file and try to use it. It was super awkward and kept changing my view.
Then I had to restart my computer. Now when I load it, I either have to pay for a subscription or quit it.

Great app for bike trips
I find this app is almost perfect for planning a long bike trip. I can import other people's routes, adjust them, while it tells me distances and elevations along the way. It's snaps to roads easily and intuatively.
But it's one flaw is that the route must go along a known road or major path. Which would be really annoying for runners and mountain bikers who make their own paths.

Response from developer
Hi. Thanks for your feedback. For routes that do not go along roads or major path you may use the off-road feature. You can read more about that here: trailrunnerx.com > FAQ > routing.
Subscription
Posts on App Store as free and then requires a subscription to use. RIP OFF
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your feedback. When you start the subscription, a trial period starts and you can use TrailRunner mini for 7 days. The trial can be cancelled any time and you won't be charged. So feel free to get a non-binding impression on if TrailRunner mini is what you are looking for. cheers! シ berbie
Not worth a subscription
I didnt’t like that this was a subscription, but thought I’d try it anyway. I just wasted an hour and still couldn’t find the trails I was looking for. It’s hard to read and hard to use. Not user friendly. AND, I can’t seem to find a way to cancel my subscription.
Response from developer
Thanks for giving TrailRunner mini a try. If you have any trouble please contact me directly via Feedback within the application!
Great Idea, but a Buggy App
I’m echoing the comments of other Trail Runner Mini users: the concept and design of the app are both great. Unfortunately, running and using the app is a chore because it is unstable and finicky. It can take so long to load maps and routes that I often resort to using plain old Google Maps in a web browser. I definitely do not recommend this app until the developers fix the basic user-interface issues and the app’s general stability.

Awsome app!
I've been using trailrunner mini for about 1 year now and it has grown to be an essential part of my fitness lifestyle. During my marathon training I used it on a daily basis for mapping daily courses, ensuring that I get my planned milage. Now I use it to plot morning running routes to get the most of my PT time before work, making sure I'm not going out too far and be late to the office. Great tool that I could not live without!

TrailRunner Mini 1.8v195
This version of Trailrunner Mini is unusable. It crashes constantly and is extremely slow. I don't know if the concept is good because I could never get it to do anything.
So far so great!
This is the app I have been looking for. Allows me plot a specific route and transfer to my iPhone. Only suggestion I would make is to add tags for turn by turn directions. That would make it 5 stars. Money well spent. Obviously earlier poor reviews were for early version. New version is great. Danke Heir Berberich.

Kind of disappointing
I loved the full version TrailRunner, but this version is not complete. First, it's painfully slow to download map tiles. Second, the most common action I can think of, tapping and dragging to move the map around, doesn't work in a natural and intuitive manner. You must click, hold, wait a second, and then you can drag the map. This becomes infuriating after a couple of times. I don't mind supporting Mr. Berberich but at this price I had expected a bit more.

GREAT APP!!!!!!
Great Program!!! Very useful!!
Great Concept, Poor Execution
I've been looking for an application like this, so I was excited to see it on the App Store. The problem is that the mapping is TERRIBLE. I tried mapping out a path I took this past week. I placed the first pin - worked fine. Place the second pin - it tried, VERY unsuccessfully, to figure out where I went on my workout. It's fine that it tried to figure out my path, but I couldn't fix it when it was completely off base. It wouldn't allow me to no matter what I tried. I tried deleting and placing te pin again, and it still tried to route me really incorrectly. If the mapping were to actually work, it would be a great app...but for now I would avoid spending $20 on this app. It's really not worth it.
