### 1/5 — Weak, very weak

*2023-06-07, version 6.9*

Downloaded this app as the advertisement on facebook looked great. 

But after that. It was very weak. Even the popular trails like maple loop had zilch for feedback, snow on trail or tree fells reports. All trails is much better.

### 3/5 — Tiny text

*2023-06-03, version 6.9*

Just installed this app. It looks like it could be pretty cool, if I could read it. The text is very small with no option to make it larger. I will likely choose WTA or All Trails apps first.

### 1/5 — Requires Cell Phone

*2023-04-03, version 6.5*

I use apps on my iPad. The registration requires entry of a “phone number” it the sends a confirmation text to that number. If it is not a cell phone, you obviously do not get text and there is no way to use the App. Just a wast of time.

### 1/5 — Requires phone number to even open app

*2023-03-16, version 6.5*

Why does this app require you to give a phone number to even see it? This feels like a scam app.

### 1/5 — You don’t need my phone number

*2022-12-09, version 6.4*

There is no reason this app needs your number other than to sell it. Eff off.

### 1/5 — Does NOT delete your account DANGER

*2022-12-06, version 6.3*

I clicked "delete my account" after being unable to change my password. It logged me out without confirming that my account was deleted. Then it let me log right back in to my supposedly deleted account. I'm beyond livid right now at the slipshod handling of user data that runs counter to their privacy policy and Apple's App Store policy. RUN AWAY from this app.

### 4/5 — review

### 5/5 — So Useful!!!!

*2022-08-13, version 5.6*

I am a frequent hiker, and I constantly find myself using this app. I would highly recommend to others out there, and I love that it’s free!

Fantastic interface and features, unique from other mapping apps. Really connects the user to the local recreation community, really exciting possibilities for future use and integration as well.

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2026-02-23, version 7.4.4*

App freezes at the logo screen

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2025-05-06, version 7.4.4*

Open the app and it just shows the logo and nothing else.

### 1/5 — App does not work

*2025-04-26, version 7.4.4*

App opens and sits on main screen indefinitely.

### 1/5 — Won’t load

*2025-04-15, version 7.4.4*

App just hangs on the initial logo launch screen.  Doesn’t work otherwise.

### 1/5 — Can’t make it work at all…

*2024-07-19, version 7.4.4*

Is there a trick to getting this app to function on an iPhone 15 pro? I have installed and deleted and restarted my phone several times and still all I get is the opening TREAD black title page. Nothing else happens just the black screen with a title and a trail into mountains. 

Was hoping to use this app while traveling Hwy 20 through northern cascades.

### 1/5 — Won’t launch

*2024-06-07, version 7.4.4*

All I get it the logo when trying to open the app. It’s just bricked and does nothing. I just downloaded it and had to delete it.

### 1/5 — Never loads

*2024-04-04, version 7.4.4*

I just get the logo while I wait and wait and wait. Uninstalled and reinstalled. Still nothing.

### 1/5 — Um…what?

*2024-03-31, version 7.4.4*

I downloaded the app today at a trailhead. The opening screen is just the logo…and that’s as far as this app wants to go. I tried it again at home with internet…nope. The mystery as to what TREAD does continues.

### 1/5 — Not loading

*2024-02-22, version 7.4.4*

Stuck on splash screen.  Support page and developer website displays web page error 503.

### 1/5 — Lacking & Overheats Phone

*2023-08-10, version 7.4.2*

This app is not only incredibly frustrating to use, it also makes my phone heat up to the point that it’s very hot to the touch. As soon as I stop this app, my phone starts cooling down. This happens even if it’s the only app I have open. It also provides little useful detail and makes it hard to find trails/destinations. I’ve tried it several times, including after updating the app. This app will immediately be removed from my phone.
