👋 One of the makers here! For months we’ve been working hard to overhaul the product, improve it and make it into something we can be proud of. Our team is really anxious yet excited to put the app out there. We only have coverage of the US and Canada, for now :( so apologies to PHers from outside of North America. Lots of work still to do, of course. We are all here to listen to your feedback and comments and we would love to know what you think.

@alxmlv Yes, I'm for anything that makes it easier to enjoy the outdoors more. Do you have global reach or is content focused on specific areas for now?
Alex
@abadesi Only the US and a bit of Canada right now. We are constantly working on improving the breadth and the depth of our trail database. Even in the US some states and national parks could use more curation, content and depth. We are planning to expand worldwide, at some point, of course. Thanks!

@alxmlv any smart wearable integration? My phone is always dying. iPhone battery...
Alex
@vladkorobov We have offline support for maps & trail guides, so they are accessible w/o connectivity, which certainly helps save battery life. First up will be Garmin Connect + import/export for GPX/FIT files.

Beautifully designed and fantastic way to discover new trails! The professional guides also enrich the hiking experience.

A must-have for hiking enthusiasts! So many trails to choose from & I love that I can share my pictures and record trail routes right from the app.

Pros:

As a premium member, I can save guides and maps and have access to them even when I have no service!

Cons:

None

Wow, great job, Alex! Keep it up. (Probably easier from such a beautiful office in such a beautiful city, that is Barcelona!)
Alex
@dennis_sprute Haha. You always welcome in BCN ;)

Looks great. When will you launch an Android app?
Alex
@moritzplassnig We are just about to kick off Android app development!

I see there is a social network aspect that AllTrails does not have. However I like the trail listings on AllTrails better because you see the name of hike, ratings and pretty picture all without doing anything. Works well though
Alex
@mesimoniv Yes, we have fairly basic activity feed up and running to aid discovery and conversations between the hikers. More in the works, of course. Photos and reviews of trails are a given :)

Downloaded the app. Way to many false positives (in San Francisco, didn’t check other cities) even with filters. Wanted to use it for finding hikes but it’s pretty impractical with all the irrelevant pins. Would be nice to filter by distance, difficultly, or other way to narrow down to specific hikes/activities.
Alex
@devonwbernard Yes, at the moment filter is by activity only and Mapbox pin logic needs work. Thanks! Besides the obvious (distance, difficulty ...) what other criteria do you find important?

There are many similar-looking apps in this space, what makes Trails.com different than AllTrails? or the Hiking Project?
