Pros and cons of Trails · Outdoor GPS Logbook app for iPhone and iPad

Trails · Outdoor GPS Logbook app good for

(English version below) Excellente appli, sur laquelle j’ai déjà publié un avis en avril 2015. Après un an d’utilisation, je constate qu’elle ne cesse de s’améliorer, et j’apprécie la réactivité du support technique. Ils ont rapidement corrigé quelques bugs que je leur ai signalés, et semblent désireux de prendre en compte les souhaits d’évolution des utilisateurs. This is an update of my feedback posted in April 2015. After using it for one year, I have noticed its constant improvement, and I do appreciate the tech support responsiveness. They quickly fixed several bugs I had reported, and seem to be willing to take users wishes for evolution into account.
Finally! Ive been hunting around for a long time now to find an app that allows waypoint tracking to offline maps. Trails has a number of maps to choose from and with the OSM maps, I was able to download the area I was planning the trip for, save some waypoints and away you go! Love it! Excellent customer support too.
Used this today for a bike ride. I had been using GPS Kit for this kind of thing, but those developers seem to have abandoned their app. Hasnt been updated in a very long time. I do like the very simple interface of Trails. I like that you can just hit a button or two and go right into tracking. I very much like the feature that will stop automatically tracking once you return to your original starting point. Simple feature, but brilliant. It would be good if there was an option in the "Units" setting to change how the time is displayed. The (degree symbol), , " is hard to read at a glance. The option to use h, m, s for the time display would be quite nice. Integration of additional maps (particularly USGS topo) would be fantastic.
I used the app on a couple of hikes and bike rides (the longest was over 10 hrs and I still had 25% battery left on an iPhone 6 plus). The recording was very reliable and accurate (in contrast to some other apps I tried). It has tons of useful features and shows relevant statistics. I especially like the fact that it doesnt require to sign up for some membership. Keep up the good work!
I use it mostly to get a time-stamped track to geotag photos. Does that just fine! (But youll need additional software to actually tag the photos, however. ) Also provides distance traveled, elevation, other stats. And if youre connected to the Web, a map of your track. Also intelligently chooses point intervals a track do you dont end up with 100 entries at the same point. And I like the auto naming of tracks: "Morning Stroll" & "Evening Run," for example. Has everything I want and more.
Great app. I use it mostly for hiking and its useful for navigating--finding small trails that arent blazed. This app has tons of features and is reasonably priced. The support documentation could be a little more detailed, explaining, for example, the on-map features like the three versions of the arrowhead. Id like to have the ability to add an alert when I reach a predetermined point on a map.

Some bad moments

No track made when left running on an iPod touch. It appears to require a phone with internet connectivity to do anything.
This app doesnt do much without paying MONTHLY for the pro version. If they were less greedy and made pro I one time purchase I would have done it...
The description claims to support offline topo maps, but neglects to say that you need to buy a time limited subscription to get this feature. Sleazy marketing! Stay far away from this app!
Wonderful app. Long time RunKeeper user, but switching for this app. The flashing bar at the top reminds me that the is app is running. I used to always forget I was recording a walk or hike. Now I never forget.
I love the offline trail data and have used it everyone I go backing or just for a weekend hike. This app is both usable and functional and I love it!
I have been using Trails since the very old days… the first iteration lacked a few things… but that was a LONG time ago. This app is great now. It does exactly what I want it to do, very reliably. Felix gave me great tech support in a timely manner and it is even better now! I highly recommend!
