GPS Hiker App Reviews

This app has been great for navigating in the forest. Maps are downloaded easily for off line use. Developer is great at responding To questions. Id be willing to pay for this app if there were a few more features such as a better review option for the saved trip and ability to specify zoom levels. But for 0$, cant go wrong. Great app, thanks.

Ive used this app for the past few years and its nice that you can put your phone in airplane mode but about half of the time it will lose signal and not track you accurately. Great for a free app but the location services could use some tweaking.

After spending hours cobbling together a poor solution using for-fee apps I found GPS hiker and it *rules*. The gpx download worked just as advertised via Itunes. In addition, it automatically caches map tiles near the gpx route so map data is available offline when in the backcountry away from internet. They dont even brag about doing this, it just works! Keep up the great work and many, many thanks. Also, the other 2 reviews available for GPS hiker when I downloaded it are ridiculous. One complains about GPS reliability, a function of your phone, not this app. The other didnt understand that it allows you to turn off GPS whenever you want.

Recently, AllTrails purchased EveryTrail, which this app was integrated with. When I opened this app today to prepare for an upcoming hike, it could no longer find the previous "Trips" saved by past users. The park we are going to is one of the most popular state parks in our state, so shouldve had some existing trails already saved. I then searched the Great Smoky Mountains, which weve used this app to hike in before, and it still wouldnt bring up past user Trips. I assume this is a result of AllTrails purchasing EveryTrail and AllTrails requires a yearly subscription to save offline maps. Being able to pull up saved trails created by past users allowed us to monitor our progress along those trails. Its nearly impossible to be able to do that for free. Without that capability, this app has become useless to us. I suppose it will still record your own progress when hiking, but there are a ton of apps out there that will do that.

The login to my EveryTrail.com account doesnt work

Pretty good hike or walk tracking app. Can download (for free) Open Street Maps or Open Cycle Maps for offline use. Open Cycle Maps contain contour lines, useful for hikes in the hills. Shows all trip data. User interface could be a bit better; some options screens are a bit counterintuitive.

I installed this app and went for a hike without changing anything in presets. App was working fast and very accurately with all output data needed during and after the hike. Would be useful to have it in pro version with offline map downloaded on the phone.

Great, i like it!!:) Quite reach functionality with intuitive interface! Speed sensor is not so accurate, but its the problem of almost all GPS navigators.

It works well! Good compatibilty with my everytrail account!

Semplice intuitiva e gratis

even selecting other types of maps in the config page , it displays always the same google type map....

Unfortunally I dont know or speak asian language, please fix it

Good the only thing missing is offline maps !

I just used this app to map a new Potential field trip for a geology course at my university. The app worked perfectly as described. I wish it could store pictures alongside mark points on the map so when you go back you can see the description and a picture. Keep up the good work and Im looking forward to the next version!

Amazing. Great features. Quick app response.

Although my "Location Services" is turned ON, starting this App gives me an error message to turn them ON - iPhone 4.

I thought it would be garbage since it was free. I would gladly pay $15 or more now that I have used it. You can import routes, drop waypoints, and it tracks everything from altitude, pace, etc. if you want to capture you trail runs or learn new routes, this app is for you.

So, Ive been playing with the app... The features alone make this app one of the best apps Ive ever used, but being able to download map tiles for offline use? This is amazing and I dont know why this app is free. I paid $10 for my geocaching app a long time ago. Id gladly pay even $15 for this. The gps features have proven accurate and, like I said, the features are great! Thanks for this app!

Worked great on iPhone 3 until I upgraded phone to ios6. Now this app closes it self after unlocking screen. Was a five star product til now.

there are alot of crash and errors with new ios 6 thats too much sad the previous version ios was too much better for the app
