If you're someone who likes a break from the concrete jungle every now and then, who breathes a little easier amongst the trees and under the stars, whose idea of connection is a few good friends and zero 5G bars...pull up around the campfire, this one's for you. Today, it's tough to plan an outdoors adventure without using AllTrails or Instagram, and truthfully they do a great job of getting folks to popular spots. But that's just the problem. Just because somewhere isn't popular, doesn't mean it's not worth exploring. That's why Outlandish exists. To get off the beaten path, but still somewhere beautiful. Build your own off-roading routes, check trail conditions, and discover scenic views and backcountry campsites. Tap into endless miles of dirt trails and build a custom route to get you exactly where you want to go. Get directions to your trailhead and download your offline maps so nothing is left to chance. Once you’re there, follow the trail you built in the app and lay down a fresh set of tracks, knowing you’re always on the right path. Easily mark and share spots worth coming back to, trail conditions, scenic views, and dispersed campsites with a single tap, so you can keep your eyes on the trail ahead.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Outlandish at 75% against Acceleration's 0%. Outlandish also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 17 months). Acceleration's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Acceleration holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outlandish has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Acceleration's written reviews are positive against 75% of Outlandish's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Acceleration ships an update every 17 months, Outlandish every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
