Used this app with no cell service in Rocky Mountain National Park while in the backcountry and tracked accurately for over 6 hours. I downloaded an offline map region before the hike and then got a bit lost along the way as the trails had minimal signage and multiple routes to take. The app displayed all possible routes and I chose the right one each time I got confused - without the app I would’ve been lost.

Howdy Neeners1515, very happy to hear that the app is working well for you and as intended. Happy hiking!
Good Alternative/Backup Hiking App
JPneus
I have now used this app a few times. It seems very good and does all the basic things I would want from a hiking app! I think it tends to overstate mileage and altitude gain (and although one can edit a track, I don’t wish to feel the need to edit). So with that one caveat, this app will be my second hiking app (to be used simultaneously with a more high profile and long establish hiking app).
Developer Response
Howdy JPneus, thanks so much for the feedback and review! I'm really happy to hear that the app is working well enough for you, especially when compared to other well-established apps. Edit: I released v1.10.11 on July 24 2024 which addresses both elevation gain and total distance issues thanks to your bug report. Hope you find the update useful and happy hiking!
So Helpful!
LeelaRay
I stumbled across this app when looking for a new hike as a relatively inexperienced hiker. The directions were so descriptive and clear that it made finding parking, navigating the trail, and knowing what to expect so much easier!There was even a little bonus info about a great view just off the trail that was well worth it. Highly recommend!
Developer Response
Thanks for the review and kind words! Very glad that the app is helpful to you, happy hiking!
