User reviews

Brilliant combination of info and inspiration!

Such an excellent app - a huge number of great walks and you can download walks so they’re available offline (map and text), track your progress on the route so you know you’ve not strayed plus there’s info about loads of interesting features on the route. A real gem!

Response from developer

Honestly having done some hikes around the world, having such a detailed app like this is a complete Godsend.

Response from developer

Many thanks for your review - it's much appreciated. We've spent quite a while doing walks overseas and would have liked to have a Walkhighlands over there too :)

Favourite walking app

Use most weeks to plan walks! Great that I can download the maps for free and I like the difficulty, bog factor and descriptions so I know what to expect!
