Many thanks for leaving the review, we're really glad the app helped you to enjoy your trip to Mull. Hope it helps you with many future trips.

Fantastic but unreliable app

Fantastic resource but let down by an app that too often doesn’t work. Pages don’t load, maps don’t open, resources not available. The fix seems to be to regularly delete the app and reinstall a fresh download. Why is there no update facility or notification to reload? Several times I’ve arrived in the wild to do my walk and had no access to the app’s features. Strange that this limitation exists.
When it does work, it’s fantastic. Great tool.

Sorry to hear -it sounds like you are not downloading routes before heading out, you need to do this so they work offline. New version next week will include tutorials. Email me on app-support@walkhighlands.co.uk and I’ll help with your problems.

Don’t go without it

Would be nice to zoom in a little further. Otherwise such a fantastic app. Made my trip to Scotland!

Really glad you like the app- thanks for the review! Our maps are detailed topographic raster maps - not simple vectors like some apps that just make the features bigger as you zoom. So whilst we could make a higher zoom, with raster maps it would increase the amount of download you would need by a factor of 4. So there is a balance for us to weigh up for the future. The current maps are 1:17500 which is a larger scale than paper.

Beautiful app to discover the beauty of Scotland

Simple and straightforward app to discover Scotland hidden gems. A must have for many enjoyable weekend in the great Scottish outdoor

Thanks very much for your review - hope you have more happy days exploring Scotland's outdoors :)

Great app

Not only is this technically a very usable app, which works offline with downloaded content, but the curated quality of the walk descriptions is excellent and consistent. Also, the mapping shows your location on the route which is really helpful.
In-app navigation could be improved, but this app is now an essential part of every trip.

The Best Resource for Walking in Scotland

I don’t think I need to say much more! For everything from huge multi-day through hikes to short jaunts in nature, and everything in between, this site and app covers it. When you add solid route descriptions with photos, route maps and GPX downloads, it really is amazing, especially as you can save whole routes for offline use without signal. Please donate and keep this amazing resource alive!

Huge thanks for taking the time to post such a lovely review - we really appreciate it. Wishing you many more great days out.

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!

Brilliant app

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!

It’s wonderful to read your lovely review. Hope the app can continue to help you find and enjoy great walks.

Thanks very much for your review - hope you have more happy days climbing those hills!

Great Scottish walking app

Highly recommend- it’s a curated walking collection and has excellent real walkers reviews and updates. Completely free - doesn’t try to upsell anything. Covers all areas of Scotland. You can download walks, os maps, gps tracking. Much more reliable than commercial walking apps because of active walkers involvement. Very grateful to the developers (charitable organisation ). If only every country had a walking resource of this quality.

Navigating the Scottish Highlands

The best of the best. I live in the US and Walkhighlands has everything you need. No need to look elsewhere

Thanks so much for your review. Hope you enjoy more future trips to Scotland.

App

Love the app. But I would like distances between each step included. I think it would benefit those of us who find it difficult to follow instructions!
Maxy G65Maxy G65

Response from developer

Many thanks for your review and feedback - it's much appreciated! If it helps, when you look at the route map with your current position marked, the numbers on the map mark each kilometre from the start of the walk. We are slowly adding more distances in the text where helpful (e.g. turn left after 300m) but it will take quite a few years to get round all the walks with that info. If you check the map with your location, hopefully that will help in the meantime.

Excellent!

Walkhighlands has been my go to resource for walks for many years, and it’s hands down my favourite corner of the internet. I so appreciate the effort that goes into maintaining and developing it. This new iteration of the app looks to be an excellent improvement on the earlier version. Thank you!

Many thanks for taking the time leave your review - it’s much appreciated. I hope we can continue to help you find more good walks.

Amazing

This app is amazing. It helped us make a recent trip to Scotland something really special. Without this app, we would have certainly gotten lost on a few trails. It also helped us find some great walks nearby when we were looking to fill some time. Great map even for trails that aren’t “official” walks. Cannot say enough good about it.

Such a great app for finding walks, using the big map or guides for munros. The Munro pin map is awesome
