Trail Run Project

I love how the gps signals your on the map regardless of having phone signal or not, as it’s a GREAT SAFETY FEATURE!! There’s so many maps and profiles of trails to help you understand where you’re headed to and to prepare, along with imbedded driving routes via google maps which is super convenient! I recommend it always to friends, my ShineOnHealth Coaching clients and strangers I meet out on the trails!

We primarily use this app when running or hiking in unfamiliar terrain. It’s a great way to check location via GPS if you think you may have gotten turned around when deciding to try a new trail with poor signage or missing blazes. Also a pretty good option for looking up running options when traveling. My one beef is that some of the trails available on the website (including popular race routes) don’t show up in the app. In some cases you can even download a GPX file of the route from the desktop website, but you can’t load it into the app, and the trail/route doesn’t show up in app. Seems weird for Trail Run Project to have complete, downloadable GPX data for routes but for them not to be included for use with app.

I LOVED using this app in the prior version. It was the best. The new version has been disappointing to say the least. After trying to use the map to find trails in certain areas of my home state I’ve just given up - the map is touchy and the screen/trails seems to refresh every time I move the map just a little bit, and not in a good way. The old version used to very concisely list the trails in whatever part of the map you were in...now there’s a scrolling set of trails you have to try to make your way through on an already touchy screen. Like other commenters, I’m all for improvements, but there was a ton of great functionality on the previous version that’s gone, making this app barely usable.

I’m an avid trail runner and in Colorado there are literally hundred of trails within an hour of me. This has been amazing at helping me find all the hidden gems! If you are just trying to discover new trails or have been trail running for a while GET THIS a APP. Best features: The feature that takes you directly to google maps to find trail heads. It makes planning routes and deciding which trails are worth my time so much easier. Updated trail conditions, which is super helpful in the spring and winter months Ability to add trails to a “to do list” The descriptions are so detailed from elevation maps, personal reviews and tips, pictures.

Love the idea behind this app, and I use it frequently, but it’s so sloppy for the resources REI has. You can’t add photos via the app, which is annoying. Lots of trails are missing/doubled or start/end in the middle of another trial (which might not be the apps fault, but maybe they can link them all together?). Driving directions is super nice, but sometimes they don’t lead to the right spot (again, probably based on poor information given to the app).
