Great app!

I’ve been using this app for many years and find it incredibly useful! There are a few little things that have been identified in other reviews, so I’m not going to repeat them. This app is well worth having and using if you frequent the National Parks - especially if you hike into the parks, beyond the parking lots and congestion. I spend a lot of time on remote trails, and some not so remote. There have been several times this app helped me find my way back after a long day on a confusing trail system. I always carry a paper map (as a backup), but there’s nothing like being able to view your location on a downloaded map of the trail system! Btw, I even carry a small solar panel to charge my phone.As with most apps, you MUST use it and familiarize yourself with it to fully benefit from its many features.

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review and for being a longtime Chimani user—we really appreciate it!We’re thrilled the app has helped you navigate those remote trails (especially after a long day out there!). Sounds like you’ve got a dialed-in setup with offline maps, paper backup, and even a solar charger—love it.Totally agree: taking time to get familiar with the features makes a big difference. Thanks again, and happy hiking!

I’ve been using the Chimani app for years to keep track of our outdoor family adventures. It has great hiking maps within the national parks and the gps tagging allows you to easily keep track of your destinations and accomplishments. After recently upgrading my phone I was not able to log in because I forgot my password and didn’t have access to my old email address. I thought I had lost all of my data but Kerry with their service team came to the rescue, and did so much more quickly than I anticipated!If you spend a lot of time in the parks, this app is a must-have!

Accidentally renewed subscription, Creator kindly helped with canceling payment

I got this app for my first camping trip, and I signed up for the free trial and forgot to cancel it before it charged me. I had planned to switch to a cheaper option, but forgot! I email the company and Kerry replied. He was very kind, understood my situation, and helped guide me through cancelling my payment. I plan to keep a less costly subscription for this app, just because the Creator was so kind!As for the usability of the app, I found it very helpful with planning hikes and for navigation. I can tell the Creator put a lot of thought into creating this app. 5 stars!!!

We squashed a few trail-dwelling bugs. Nothing flashy just smoother scrolling happier taps and fewer “wait that’s weird” moments. Your parks are still wild and the app is now a little less so.
