  1. [R2] AllTrails 5/5 · US Love it: Use it for all my hiking needs
  2. [R3] AllTrails 3/5 · US Expensive and lakes iPad Support: Make a version of the app that works on an iPad. Would allow easier planning for hikes instead of the small scaled down version.
  3. [R4] AllTrails 1/5 · US Ok if it’s the only app you use: Doesn’t talk to Strava or let you export activity data anywhere. Basically not much use unless it’s the only app you use for logging your activities.
  4. [R5] AllTrails 5/5 · US Use it everywhere I go: This is my go to app anywhere I go that I want to travel by foot and see beautiful places! It’s a must have.
  5. [R6] AllTrails 3/5 · US No easy way to stop logging: Both on the Apple Watch and in the App I found no button to click to tell the app I finished the hike. After remaining motionless at my vehicle, a pop up appeared asking me if I was done with the hike and to tap for “yes”, which I did, but it still continued to track my motion all the way home. I paid for the App - I would expect it to give me a convenient way to end t
  6. [R8] AllTrails 5/5 · US User friendly: I think the title says it but if you aren’t inclined with an app this one is easy to use.
  7. [R15] AllTrails 3/5 · US Great idea, but glitchy in practice: I love so many things about this website (notice I didn’t say app). However, every time I search for hikes, it automatically refreshes and brings me to the top of the page. I usually can’t scroll down past 10 or so hikes. Really inconvenient for those not looking to do the most popular hikes around.
  8. [R16] AllTrails 1/5 · US Tons of issues with maps: I’ve used this app for years, no issues. Suddenly the maps aren’t working. I deleted the app and reinstalled, I signed out and signed in. No progress. Problem just got worse and I also lost all my saved hikes and data. Maps still not working.
  9. [R1] AllTrails 1/5 · US Thief’s App: I get a notification of auto renewal at 10:53pm and two hours later they hit my account leaving me not option but to pay for something I didn’t want. Theirs do their work an night, and so do these people. Decent app, worth $15 yearly: sure. However, it’s not worth $35 or the money they’ll have to pay me to remove the 12 reviews I’ve posted announcing their nefariousness.
  10. [R9] AllTrails 3/5 · US Great App but it’s a money grab: 80 dollars is ridiculous for the peak subscription. I feel like it’s a money grab, I also hate how they show features that you don’t have access to and you don’t realize you don’t have that feature until you click on it. The peak features should be part of the plus subscription.
  11. [R10] AllTrails 2/5 · US Hate this two-tier system: So annoyed by the greed of having this two-level system, and denying stuff for people who are already paying customers. It sucks.
  12. [R17] AllTrails 5/5 · US Thank you for the free version: I don’t hike very often. I us is for a guidance
  13. [R7] AllTrails 1/5 · US No Option for Feedback: There’s a new feature when you are trying to zoom in to look at a map in more detail and it pops up this menu that takes over the screen and makes it impossible to pan around if you have man hands.
  14. [R21] AllTrails 3/5 · GB Cancelled subscription but still charged: I cancelled my subscription the day before it ended but was still charged £35.99. After several messages with their support team support team I was refunded the full amount but without apology or explanation. I won’t be using this app again.
  15. [R22] AllTrails 2/5 · US Privacy Changed are Sleazy and Alarming: I’ve been a longtime user of AllTrails, for years and years. I always set my own routes to “private” because I want that data for myself but don’t feel safe publicly sharing my favorite hiking routes with the entire world. I learned today that without any warning, AllTrails decided to make public every single waypoint any user has ever saved, regardless of
  16. [R64] Relive 1/5 · US Activities Disappearing: Dozen of activities disappeared. The app is not trustworthy.
  17. [R43] AllTrails 5/5 · US Extremely good for beginners: I really like this app because it helped me get started hiking. I really appreciate how easy it is and as you go to more advanced trails, you learned to appreciate this app a lot more. You do not need to purchase the subscription, but it would be better. I would recommend this to anyone starting to hike.
  18. [R61] Relive 2/5 · US Can’t trim route: Relive discontinued the functionality to trim routes. If you forget to stop recording after an activity, it records everything until you remember to “finish” making the data and map useless. Please fix this because it is a deal breaker.
  19. [R70] Relive 2/5 · US Bring back route trimming!: One of the features I valued most, the ability to trim my route (e.g., when I forget to end a walk recording and it continues as I drive away), was recently deleted. I don’t care at all about the new music and opening features, but the loss of the ability to trim will probably result in my not renewing my subscription when it runs out.
  20. [R76] Relive 1/5 · US I miss this app!: This app used to be AMAZING but they keep sabotaging every possible feature so that they can lock it behind a paywall. It’s so slimy and underhanded. I understand limiting some functions like number of photos to encourage users to switch to the premium version but trimming your route and changing the title should still be baseline features. If the app worked better, I would happi
  21. [R79] Relive 1/5 · US Updates removed features: I have used the paid version for several years but will be unsubscribing. Features in previous versions that I found useful have disappeared in the latest version. It used to be easy to view and trim a downloaded video inside Relive, but that feature is gone. It used to be easy to trim an entire Relive. That feature was especially useful if I forgot to end the Relive rec
  22. [R78] Relive 3/5 · US Great to share: Lots of fun sharing
  23. [R86] Relive 4/5 · US Great App to watch your event on a Big screen after.: The App is fun to use and create videos of a hike or ride. It would be great if the map had an option to retain “Direction Up” while you are riding or hiking instead of seeing your route upside down while traveling South. Editing your video after you create it can be done for Plus Subscribers which is useful.
  24. [R96] Relive 3/5 · US Need Vertical View: I’d like to put these on TikTok or Instagram stories. Put this feature in your next sprint please!
  25. [R107] Relive 5/5 · US My first: France for fun. We have a morning and post lunch video. So much fun to share with family
