KNOW WHEN THE LEAVES WILL CHANGE Fallcast predicts fall foliage conditions across the country, helping you find where the colors are changing now, where they're headed next, and when to plan your next leaf-peeping trip. The forecast is rebuilt every day from satellite observations and state foliage reports, so when a season runs early or late, the forecast changes with it. PLAN AHEAD See how foliage conditions are expected to change over the coming weeks. Compare locations and find the places most likely to have good color when you're ready to go. TRIPS Planning a fall trip? Follow foliage conditions at your destination before and during your trip. See what's changing and where to look for the best color along the way. Add a hike or a saved route as a stop. TRAILS More than 44,000 hiking, biking, horse, ATV and 4WD trails, each mapped with this season’s foliage. See the color and elevation along any trail, explore it in 3D, and export it to your favorite trail app. Link trails together to build your own custom foliage route. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Find foliage conditions alongside golden hour to help plan your next autumn photo. IDENTIFY ANY LEAF Point your camera at a leaf and Fallcast names the species. Fallcast has 176 species identified right on your device. Save what you find and build a collection. LEARN THE LEAVES Which trees change first, how different species contribute to the fall landscape, and what each tree looks like as its color turns. Every species page covers its shape, its color, when to look for it, and why it changes colors the way it does. Regional tree and leaf guides help you understand what you're seeing. WIDGETS Keep foliage conditions for your favorite places on your Home Screen, so you can check the season at a glance. Fallcast is free to use: current and recent conditions, how this year compares with normal, every trail with free GPX export, the complete field guide, three photo identifications a season, and one saved place. Season Pass is an annual subscription that unlocks the full forecast, color intensity forecasts, trip planning, routes built from several trails, automatic Live Activities on travel days, unlimited identifications and saved places, and alerts when color at a saved place runs early or late. The leaves are changing. Know where to find them.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: WalknTours at 2.1K against Fallcast's 2. WalknTours also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#140 vs unranked). Fallcast's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. WalknTours sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and Fallcast sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WalknTours holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WalknTours has 2.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of WalknTours's written reviews are positive against 100% of Fallcast's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WalknTours ships an update monthly, Fallcast every 8 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
