### 2/5 — Two stars right off

*2026-08-17, version 4.1.0*

Curious as to why ‘Ram’ is not listed in ‘What vehicle do you drive?’  The app wouldn’t let me continue until I picked ‘Jeep’, which is wrong. Will the app’s info now for my trips be misdirecting me into situations my Ram can’t safely do?  Will update the stars if/when Ram is added to the list.

### 5/5 — Best app available

*2026-06-29*

I’ve used every app available and this is my go too app for all my offroad adventures.  I’m not into super hard trails anymore. So it’s nice to filter out the stuff I don’t want to go on and choose from the amazing list that just gets bigger each day. Real trails ran by real people that have been verified.  That way there are no surprises if you come in contact with a ranger.  Unlike other apps that are public crowd sourced and those trails and tracks could be illegal trails and could cause ya to get a hefty fine

**Developer response:** Thank you! This means a lot, especially coming from someone who has tried the other apps. Our goal has always been to provide real, verified trail information so you can plan with confidence, avoid surprises, and choose the kind of adventure that fits you best. We really appreciate the support and are glad Trails Offroad has become your go-to app. Most importantly, we hope to see you out on the trail!

### 5/5 — Best Offroad app

*2026-06-21, version 4.0.8*

This is my favorite offroad app because it has so much detail and it’s trail overviews. It has wave points photos and videos. It really gives you a great idea what to expect when you’re on the trail opposed to just how to get to the trail.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2026-06-19, version 4.0.7*

I am really loving this app. I like how the waypoints show on the map in my truck. Super simple to use on Apple CarPlay. I really like how it shows the camping spots and points of interest in the app as well. I use the app to regularly plan trips. Highly recommended!!

### 5/5 — More Than a Trail App

*2026-06-18, version 4.0.7*

Trails Offroad has become part of how I adventure. I love discovering new places, and this app gives me the confidence to explore trails I might have otherwise passed by. The trail reports, photos, and detailed information help me spend less time wondering what’s ahead and more time enjoying the journey. It’s one of the few apps I genuinely use every time I hit the trail. Highly recommend. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### 5/5 — Essential off-road tool

*2026-05-23, version 4.0.3*

One two platforms for napping: CalTopo and Trails Offroad. Both are essential for me but TRO is the first I visit to understand an area and trails. It continues to improve every year as well.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-21, version 4.0.3*

I’ve used Trails Offroad for several year and it just keeps getting better. It was used almost exclusively for a two week trip to Moab and it just works. We were out of service for a good portion of our time and the offline feature was flawless. Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — The best app for finding and following Offroad Trails

*2026-05-07, version 4.0.1*

This has become the best app for offroad enthusiasts.  Trails are extensively documented so you can plan your adventure.  You have ability to download areas so you can follow along even when you lose cell reception.  Once on the trail, you can follow turn by turn directions, with guidance and helpful information along the way.  More and more trails are being added all the time.

### 5/5 — Cannot even create account

*2026-04-29, version 4.0.1*

Loaded app and tried to create an account. Couldn’t proceed because of the 3 different legal actions. Read each one but there is no way to accept them.

### 5/5 — Wish I had this 25 years ago

*2026-04-27, version 4.0.1*

Trails Offroad is the best offroad/overland/trails app out there. They have waypoints, follow me mode, land info, accurate trail info, user reviews by actual wheelers, camping waypoints and info, great info for planning trips, tracking, shared lists, and more. They don’t have good marketing, but they’re definitely the best app out there. Works great on my iphone including my old one which is just used on the trails (without cell connectivity).

### 4/5 — Phenomenal but some room for improvement

*2026-04-26, version 4.0.1*

After moving to CO in 2023, I wanted to check out the surrounding trails and came across some YouTube channels that mentioned this app. After downloading, the web interface is very easy to navigate and I liked the download by state option. I love the waypoints with pictures that most trails have and opted for paid membership. I also like how you can follow along with pictures on the app and the brief explanation for historical landmarks and sights that no other apps offer. It is very easy to map to beginning of trail in standard or reverse direction. 

Ford recently emailed me with a one year free trial subscription for the other major off-road app which has made me realize the CarPlay TOR app is lacking. It would be great if the CarPlay interface would also show waypoint to waypoint pictures that it offers online and in the app and 3d mapping with elevation. Really my only critique is the CarPlay interface overall being limited compared to the many features TOR app offers. 

It seems the TOR app has much more engagement with both general users and people associate with the app despite the other competitor probably spending exorbitantly more money on advertising (forreal, can’t watch a single YouTube video without it turning into an OnX infomercial). That just attests to how great the app is.

### 5/5 — My go to

*2026-04-24, version 4.0.1*

The best resource possible for trails in Colorado. It literally never lets me down. Two thumbs up.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-03-18, version 3.8.3*

This app is amazing and love the offline map and how well it works. Love the track mode and follow so it shows you spots along the trail.

### 5/5 — The best there is

*2026-03-18*

You won’t find an app that has more up to date and detailed info than TOR! This app has been my go to for years and while either checking trails prior to going or just daydreaming over maps it the first and only app I use and recommend! The mapping feature is great for planning future trips and the listing of completed trails helps show what you have done. This app had made the ability to go into new areas and locate trail networks a breeze! It cuts out the “fluff” and gives you pertinent information regarding trail difficulties and details that may cause you issues if you attempt it.

**Developer response:** Thanks, Claybuster84. We really appreciate you being with us all these years and helping make our community as awesome as it is. We are always working to improve and bring the best trail intelligence we can to the app and web. Hope to see you out on the trail!

### 5/5 — Best Offroad App

*2026-03-17, version 3.8.3*

Been using this app for several years and it keeps getting better and better with more releases. The detail of the trail guides are top notch and they are all created with boots on the ground. If you are heading offroad, this is the app to get.

### 3/5 — Needs UI refresh badly

*2026-03-12, version 3.8.3*

It’s a really strong app, with great info, but suffers for a strange UI. Example: you can’t click the reviews at the top of a trail to go to reviews, you have to scroll down manually. Many menus and trail menus also don’t really make sense.

### 5/5 — Trails you can trust!

*2026-03-10, version 3.8.3*

I love that every single trail on Trails Offroad has had tires on the dirt.
 I’ve used some of the “bigger” off road apps and was left disappointed or even angry by the lack of information about the trail and/or the trail not even existing! That really sucks after driving an hour to the trailhead only to find out it hasn’t had a vehicle on it since the ‘90s.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-07-05, version 4.0.11*

Touchy and slow to respond. Update it.

### 1/5 — Pretty much useless unless give them access to billing before they let you see the app

*2026-05-17, version 4.0.2*

Here’s an idea.  Let your potential customers see the app for a set amount of days and then disable it if not subscribed. The model of subscribing with a free trial and then canceling before the deadline is beyond frustrating. I will no longer support any company that uses this model. It’s been my experience that canceling before being charged is usually next to impossible.

### 1/5 — SO what’s up with not having Subaru ..?

*2026-03-13, version 3.8.3*

I have a 4x4 subaru, so i’m confused as to why it’s not an option..?

### 1/5 — Can’t Even Sign Up

*2026-02-05, version 3.8.2*

Every time I try to sign up to use this lockware it says I need an internet connection. Yeah no sht. I’m at home on 1G fiber with 4 bars of 5G cell. Derp. Useless from the get go.

### 1/5 — Mandatory arbitration is a sign

*2025-09-08, version 3.5.0*

Any company that leads with mandatory arbitration has zero respect for their customers. Stand behind your product or expect the few who actually read the terms to avoid you like the plague you are!

### 1/5 — Sometimes doesn’t work

*2025-07-19, version 3.3.2*

Seems lately lots of bugs in the app. Map screen went completely blank out on a trip with no service. What’s the point of offline data if you can’t use it!

### 1/5 — No way to upload GPX?

*2025-02-03, version 2.15.1*

Looking for an alternative to GAIA and OnX pricing. Trails Offroad doesn’t seem to allow uploading. Search for help reveals you can download tracks and upload to GAIA.  Why not just use GAIA to start with?  Trails can be shared in GAIA.

### 1/5 — Useless for Michigan

*2024-12-18, version 2.10.1*

This app is pretty much useless for Michigan trails. Shows hardly anything. Glad I spent some time checking it out before I had to pay the subscription.

### 1/5 — Horribly inconsistent rating system

*2024-12-13, version 2.10.1*

This app is for people who collect ducks. The ratings are all over the place for trails. Trails that deserve a 1 are rated 4, there’s trails rated 6 or 7 that are barely a 3. The photos showing the trails are even worse. I got this app by mistake because I forgot to cancel the subscription. Don’t make the mistake of buying this app. Massive waste of $40.

### 1/5 — Missing lots of trails

*2024-05-12, version 2.7.2*

The app showed zero trails within 200 miles of my. I’m 100% positive that there are dozens possibly hundreds of trails within a 200 mile radius. if you live in Eastern Washington or Idaho this app is useless.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Not getting spoofed on a trail!!!!

*2026-08-14, version 4.1.0*

How many times have I heard, “That app left me hanging” in reference to a off road app? Way too many!!!! I know the story until I started using  TRAILOFFROAD. You will find tires and feet on the ground first hand documentation for the trail, links to area weather, permits needed, and navigation on and to the trailhead. GET OUT THERE!!!!! use code JPNJOHN. See you on the trail..🙂

### 5/5 — The BEST off road app!

*2026-08-09, version 4.1.0*

Excellent product and support. Good off-line maps and follow mode, descriptive and apt trail guides, and an active group of trail crew and user-sourced reviews. Have tried several others but Trails Off-road is my favorite and the go-to app of my Jeep club as well.

### 5/5 — Great app for the trails

*2026-08-02*

So many features, like 
- down loadable maps, 
- follow feature to help stay on the trail, 
- extensive trail network data in the USA
- very accurate trail data which has been verified and quality control checked
- very accurate trail rating system to help you do trails within your capability 
- easy access to review trails for planning purposes like an overall map of trails in the USA, search and filtering functions
- app is great but they also have a website with the information. So for planning bigger adventures, you might use the website and then on the trail - the information is handy in this app 
- great organization with their priorities straight, promoting care for the trails, not going off trail or littering etc..
- trail guides show point by point features like obstacles, bypasses, scenic things etc. As you travel the trail, you can easily see where you are on the app and what features are coming up, this is outstanding.

**Developer response:** Thanks, Woman_Going_Nomad!  

We appreciate the review.  Our web platform is a great way to plan your trip, and the app for on the trail - the best part of the app is the simple 2-click download for offline!  Speaking of being on the trail, we hope to see you out there!

### 5/5 — Best App to Safely Navigate Trails!

*2026-07-22, version 4.0.11*

I’ve been using Trails Offroad since 2020 and it’s been a life saver! The app shows trail ratings, waypoints and descriptions of the waypoints, and has an easy way to find trails based on a map or trails by state! The list feature is great for adding trails to a future expedition! The trail guides are the best out there-tons of info, helpful tips, and pictures! This makes me feel confident that my vehicle will make it through the trails!

### 5/5 — Must have off-road Maps

*2026-07-21, version 4.0.11*

This is a must-have app if you enjoy going off-road. It offers comprehensive trail guides and up-to-date real information. The information comes from people who actually travel on the trails.

### 5/5 — Amazing for scouting trails and their difficulty!

*2026-07-13, version 4.0.11*

Trails Offroad is amazing for scouting trails as well having the ability to use their step by step trail guides to check the difficulty and obstacles before hitting the trail! Amazing app made by people who truly care for our trails!

### 5/5 — Details Matter

*2026-07-07, version 4.0.11*

If you’re looking for a trail app that’s going to provide you with true and accurate trail information, then Trails Offroad is for you. Don’t risk the safety of you and your vehicle by going down a trail you know nothing about. Trails Offroad provides both written details as well as pictures to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable experience in the great outdoors.

### 5/5 — 2+ years later

*2026-07-03, version 4.0.10*

Have been using Trails Offroad for more than 2 years now. Integrates seamlessly with my CarPlay and the ability to download offline maps has been a Gamechanger on the trails. Cant recommend it enough!

### 5/5 — Whoops

*2026-07-03, version 4.0.10*

Dang you guys bricked the App over 4th of July weekend lol. otherwise love it

### 5/5 — My Absolute Favorite Trail App.

*2026-06-29*

Trails Offroad has become one of my go-to tools when planning and running trails with the Dirty Adventure Crew. What I appreciate most is how easy it is to use across multiple devices while we are on the trail. I can keep the detailed waypoint information open on my phone while the full trail map is displayed through Apple CarPlay, which makes navigation much easier without losing access to important trail details.

I also appreciate the ability to export map files for use with other navigation devices and apps. Between the detailed trail information, waypoint descriptions, CarPlay integration, and file-export options, Trails Offroad gives me the flexibility I need to plan ahead and stay informed while exploring.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We love hearing that Trails Offroad has become part of your planning and trail-day workflow. Using waypoint details on your phone while running the map through CarPlay is exactly the kind of flexibility we hoped to provide. We really appreciate you taking the time to share such a thoughtful review, and we’re glad to be part of your adventures with the Dirty Adventure Crew.  Your crew sounds like a blast!
