Editors’ Choice celebrates the very best apps and games – hand-picked by App Store editors around the world.

Whether you’re planning a day hike with kids or a backpacking trip in the wilderness, this comprehensive, crowdsourced trail guide with over 400,000 entries helps you discover the best path.

We knew we loved it when: We saw how thoughtful and engaged the AllTrails community is. Continually updated crowdsourced notes, which are curated by the AllTrails team, provide the latest alerts on trail conditions. For example, they could alert you to trail flooding after recent rain and suggest waiting for an overcast day to embark on a hike with no tree cover. The community members can also steer you towards highlights along a route – such as a lovely stretch of wildflowers in full bloom.

Our favourite discovery: Seeing our elevation gain at a glance with Apple Watch. Knowing you’re only at mile three, even when it feels like mile 10, can remind you to slow your pace and drink more to stay hydrated.

Our favourite moment: Using the satellite map to find out-of-the-way highlights along a route. In the case of a gorgeous waterfall, for example, you can see a satellite image of the river that feeds the waterfall – and exactly where you are along its path – leading you right to the spot.
