    Can’t save a map or mark way points
  • Distance measurement

    Recently downloaded this app and just started exploring it. It has suggested several hikes in my area, so that makes me happy. However, it’s a little difficult to use when the distance measurement is only in kilometers. Maybe Miles could be added to it also.
  • Thumbs up!

    I haven’t actually used this app to hike - yet! I plan to use this app in conjunction with AllTrails for a Glacier National backpacking trip. I really like the free trail planning and that it shows the campground locations, that makes me feel a bit safer in the planning aspect. Here’s to hoping this is a great app and happy hiking!
  • Directions?

    The app doesn’t have a way to get directions to the trail. That makes it pretty much useless unless you’re just a teaser to make me use another app I’ve already paid a subscription for.

    After trying several other apps, Hiiker is clearly the winner. I use it for biking and hiking and it’s terrific. Easy to use, excellent detail, and it works!

  • Worst hiking app

    It does not account for elevation gain!!! Used this app to plan a 7-day trip in the Dolomites. The times for hikes were COMPLETELY WRONG. We booked hotels and Refugi based on these data and the times were not even close— not even by a day! I’m a very experienced hiker; very strong and fast-moving. I’ve used AllTrails for a few years and never had any problems, but they don’t have my Alta Via planned out. Tried Hiiker. Won’t ever use again. Example: Hiiker reported a 5-hour hike on day three. Reality was a 14-hour hike including many vie ferrate. We ended up having to book a different rifugio and were very lucky they had space. Otherwise, we would have been stranded. Got charged for hotels that we couldn’t make it to. Payed extra for different hotels and refugi.

    This App has great potential but currently I couldn’t recommend anything other than a basic subscription and it can’t be solely relied on for navigation. I would recommend using this App along with another book guide or other maps for whichever trail you are walking. There are some annoying bugs that really need to be fixed and many other improvements are needed to make this App better. Many points of interest are out of date or inaccurate.Points of interest have to be added every time you open the App. It would be good if you could save the points of interest selected for a map in your list or a saved planned hike. Currently when you exit a map or planned route you have to re-ad points of interest. I have the units set to miles and feet but it changes randomly back to meters and kilometres depending on what I am using in the App. Customised features should be permanent through the App unless changed. When using the planning a hike feature it draws a straight line or follows a trail I do not want to include on the planned hike and I get a message that I am not connected to the server when I definitely have a good Wi-Fi connection. The center lines for the Wales Coast Path are not accurate, not sure if this is the case for other long walks in the App. I get a lot of error messages when downloading map layers for use offline so I am not confident that these layers will work offline. Overall this App is a good start and I am ok paying the basic subscription fee but I don’t think any higher level subscription would be worth the cost unless many improvements are made especially for offline use.
  • Sparse and inaccurate

    Probably the worst trail app I’ve used. Navigating is clunky and non intuitive. Information on water sources are inaccurate more often then not, and even the trail map itself is often wrong. Even the accurate info is pretty sparse. Do yourself a favor and use a more tried and true app
  • Review Based on Oregon Coast Trail

    This app needs an updated version of the Oregon Coast trail because if it continues using its current version- one that tells hikers to go around cliffs being smashed with waves, go through private property, think they have water sources that actually are unreachable beneath hwy 101- it will literally be the cause of future hiker injuries or worse, their deaths. And I know it’s more than just the app’s outdated map. I know that walking hwy 101 for the OCT is a variable involving other drivers as well, but the Hiiker app’s OCT map needs to include more of the actual trails along the coast to keep hikers from only being on the hwy if necessary. More than once did we get on the hwy and pass an official OCT sign, leading to a trail that didn’t exist on the Hiiker map. It also led us through a tunnel with no shoulder so me and my fellow hikers literally almost got run down and splattered by the cars passing through. The lack of comments could be due to the OCTs obscurity as a trail. But the map should at the very least indicate there’s an upcoming tunnel so hikers can then decide their level of comfort going up it. And then at that exact spot where the tunnel was, the map wants us to go down a road to get to Heceta light house that doesn’t exist. There was another road nearby that we took, but here’s an example of how inaccurate that map was and how in many cases of being told to go on the road when there was a physical trail, being directed through private property even though we were looking at no trespassing, no beach access signs, and being told to go across a beach when there’s a giant river flowing outwards so there’s no way to cross— these are all examples of the many times the app led us astray by being inaccurate and that it caused a lot of dangerous and uncertain situations for us. Also many of the rivers we had to go around that the app was telling us just to go straight through, these were not simply hours of high tide. They were literal rivers flowing out into the ocean that we had to add 10+ miles to the journey just to get around. But the hiiker map had a straight line going right across like we’ve got mermaid tails. And like the map gave us an over optimistic amount of passageway through impassable areas, it also gave us water source after water source that in real life, actually didn’t exist or was beneath the highway like in just going to scale the cliff side to get some of this elusive water. This app needs to either update this map, or take it down. No one needs to pay any money at all just to have to cross reference with the free maps online at the Oregon state parks website, miss a bunch of actual trail and stay safely on the road because the Hiiker map said so, and/or be put in literal danger due to this inaccurate map.
