Ability to Print

This is a great app!… not sure how to print out hard copies of my trip planning and site info etc.
Thanks

Season window extension

Hey, really appreciate the app and all the work you’ve put into it! Super helpful since I did the trail last time before this came out and have been using it in advance of this year’s trip. One thing I wanted to point out and give feedback on that would be an improvement is that you’ve limited the calendar window to Sept 30/Oct 1. Sept 30 is the last day to start the trail - it’s not the end of the window which people will be out hiking. With the ferries running until Oct 7, it would be helpful if the window went until Oct 7. For example, my group will be hitting Owen point in October and I can’t use the app to plan for that.

Absolutely essential for west coast trail

Did the trail in 2025 and doing it in opposite direction this year the app is very helpful for trail conditions in real time. Works best when hiking community post to it what they see. The tides are indispensable in planning. My only suggestion would be more accurate route planning for inland route of Thrasher junction to beach access B, as some may want to stay in land and not go down to Thrasher at all on day 1 of there trip. Do not think twice you NEED this app!

Saved our bacon

Great app. Really helped with planning our days as well as to and from. What really saved us though was the map. We were pushing hard in the big rain to make the final crossing at Gordon river and near the high point of the trail it was confusing and we took a wrong turn. We were able to use the app to see where we were and correct our course. Kept checking when we were unsure and made the ferry with lots of time!! Not sure what we would have done without it!!

Must have for the trail!

Having this app to use on the trail made my trip so simple. Having it show me in real time where I was on the trail was amazing. It was fun to read the shipwreck stories and to learn about what the next day has in store for us. I highly recommend this app for anyone planning to do the trail.

My opinion

Just love all the information I keep finding when I go playing with the app.

Be well prepared

The app allows hikers to be well prepared. Read beforehand and during the hike.

Incredible information

Information on the Apps really helpful to plan and prepare your trip. This makes everything easier and what to expect then you can enjoy the trail. Love it so much.

If you are doing the WCT you need this app and get yourself the pro version.

An excellent resource

This really accelerated our understanding of the complexities of our bucket-list trip. My fave feature was the calendar with the visuals on how favourable the tide times were - this was invaluable to selecting our dates!!!!!!!

Incredible resource

Highly recommend this app if you’re doing the trail! It’s a complete game changer and has so much useful and important information!

Love it!!!

This app has loads of useful information.

Incredible app

We just finished the trail a couple days ago. This app, specifically the pro version, was incredibly valuable. I would give 10 stars if I could. The offline mapping, the route information, the tide charts..it’s all there. Very well done and appreciated.

Amazing

The details and ease of use is incredible

Wow!!!!!!!!!

So amazing

Fantastic

A must have

Pro version is Essential piece of hiking greater

Upgrading to the Pro version of the West Coast Trail app was one of the best decisions we made for our trip. The extensive detail and the ability to use it offline were absolutely critical to our success on the trail. Having reliable, consolidated information at our fingertips—tides, weather, obstacles, and challenges—helped us plan confidently and stay safe. The added historical context was a wonderful bonus that made the journey even more meaningful. Highly recommend upgrading, and a huge thank you to the creator for building such a thoughtful and invaluable tool!

Easy planning

This app brings all the info you need together in one place in an easy to navigate format. The only thing it’s missing is elevation gain (ascent) for the beach and forest routes between campsites.

The best!

An incredible guide for the WCT! Should be an essential!!

Love it ‘
