Used the app travelling across country. Good detail on maps and trails... Enjoyed using it to explore parks we would consider visiting in the future.

Really helpful to get you around the parks and the stuff that is the best things to see. Would be better if it included more parks.

Screenshotting this app is extremely helpful incase you don't have service while hiking. Also very useful for finding hidden gems. Highly recommend

I have been on hundreds of hikes in Washington state. This app would have been extremely useful for planning my route and where to camp.

This is good, but I wished that it had many more parks or the option to add more. I downloaded it to see what it had on the State Park that's in the same county as me, but it doesn't have anything on it. I would use it if it had all state parks.

Pretty cool. Looking forward to more features. Ex: It would be helpful to filter hikes, parks and gems according to which ones will allow me to bring my dog.

Wants FB log in. No way to set up a to-do list or check in. Map is pretty glitchy, and trails only show if you're zoomed in on the goldilocks zone.

I was looking for a detailed, interactive, physical map. This has that, but I wish there were better labels for the geography (e.g. Fruita Cliffs, Navajo Sandstone domes). It's just Google.

Detailed information about parks and monuments, trail descriptions, and pretty pictures, make this app very appreciated. Looking forward to seeing more parks added. Great way to daydream about the next big trip.

I love this app! Puts fairly detailed trail maps on my phone that don't require a cell connection. Have used it deep within the Grand Canyon along with GPS to make sure i stayed on a back country trail.

Amazing app. One issue that is keeping it from 5 stars. You cannot download the routes and and there is a bug where sometimes trails won't add to your to-do list. I am using the galaxy s21

I was excited about the apps this one and the hiking project. However it doesn't show all National Parks. It doesn't show any National Forests and the location information constantly puts me 4+ hours away from my location in a completely different state.

Downloaded this app a few years ago and really liked it. It says more parks coming soon on the bottom and nothing new has been added since I downloaded it. Would be nice if the developer actually continued updating it. Unfortunately it looks like it's been abandoned.

The idea is good. However, you can find info on the best known National Parks anywhere. As this is app has REI associated with it, I expected more"off the beaten path content". l want to be informed of places I wouldn't otherwise know about in an app like this. The content it does have is great quality. And it is free. But you need to try harder to improve and expand your content.

This is a great app. We have used to prepare and hike through several National parks. It is beautifully designed and great for getting prepped and ready for a hike. Please ignore the ridiculous 1 star reviews that it doesn't cover a state park or forest near them, no this is for the USA National Parks. Check out REI's hiking project app for lots of other great hiking info.

The app itself is nice, easy to navigate and easy on the eyes. The 1-star rating is due to the fact that there is no way of navigating (getting directions) to these trails. If you live near one, you can find it easily. If new to the locale/state, forget it.

Pretty nice app. Some road names don't show up even when you zoom in, which kind of sucks. Also, the most annoying feature I have found about this app is that when you back out of a particular trail description page the app always takes you back to the beginning of the trail list. I just don't understand.

Great app, the only reason I gave it 4 stars is because half of the time the "add to to-do list" button doesn't work.
