Map My Hike By Under Armour App Reviews

Map My Hike is utterly useless. If you hike where there is no service (why would you hike anywhere else?) you will not get anything even close to accurate tracking. It will be unable to accurately show your location, it will be unable to accurately tell you how long you’ve been hiking and will be unable to accurately tell you how far you’ve hiked. If you want the whole community BS and feel the need to share on social media every time you step out your door then this is probably for you. If you want a quality GPS tracking app, then get Gaia. I would give this thing zero stars if possible.

Helps me understand my limits and potential with its accuracy.

Recently it’s been under-reporting distance hiked by about 40%.

A friend and I both use Map My Hike on the same trails. Her free Android version includes more features including weather data where in the Apple version you have to get the paid version for these features...

Your calorie counter is absurd. I just walked 4.5 miles and it says I burned 1137 calories. That is complete BS. Running a mile in about 7 mins burns about 100 calories. Walking burns less. If people believe your calculations that are totally misinformed and may create eating habits that result in an unhealthy diet. Please correct you program to be more accurate. Yes my height and weight are correctly reflected. You system is programmed incorrectly.

It’s definitely helping me get in shape and to build endurance.

Love the app. I carry a backpack. ide love the ability to set weight carried and adjust calories burned to show truer workout

Really love the app and it works decently well just with the info from my iPhone in my pocket on a hike. However, I’d love an integration with my Leaf fitness tracker from Bellabeat.

This app is easy to use. Love it!

When Map my hike works.... *****. But, periodically, the app won’t even load. Use GaiaGPS folks

Tried 4 times to create a profile using Facebook, I do not have any privacy settings, and will not work. The app crashes immediately. 12:49p CT 3/27/2019

I would really like to try this app but when I submit my account info, I get “A problem has occurred - Your account has not been created.” Have tried multiple times on multiple days each on my iPhone and iPad (both up to date on IOS). Tried to send a note to Support but need valid login to do that. Out of options. Zero stars at this point.

So my weekly totals are no longer updating... some hikes are not being added. I have shut down and restarted my phone to no avail. For the most part this app is good but every so often not so much. I cannot even make a comment and give feedback I must of scored you too low...

Accurate and very user friendly

I love the app. Use it to track all my hikes. Lately I’ve been comparing it to Fitbit and my steps are half what Fitbit registers. My last hike was 4.5 miles with 2500ft elevation and at the summit the app said we had only hiked 2.8 miles. Now I’m second guessing the accuracy!

Great for goal setting.

I should have known something free from UA would be a let down but I had high hopes. I just want an app that can tell me how many miles a hike is and shouldn’t have to leave my phone open to do it. I did 2 test runs of 1.25 miles and both went great. Finally decided to trust it on a “longer” hike of about 4 miles. Checked it at around mile 2.5 and it stopped tracking at 1.17 miles. Major let down. Oh well, deleting and onto the next one! If you download I hope it’s better to you than it was to me!

I like it works good found some lakes

I ran Map My Walk and Map My Hike side by side for several days. MMHike returns wild calorie counts - 2.7k for a 3.89 mile walk. Neither MMHike nor MMWalk return the same results to My Fitness Plan. Here’s some tips for the suits at Under Armour: 1. If you want subscriptions, make them a reasonable one time fee. I just don’t allow corporations to pick my pocket on a monthly basis. 2. Conform your algorithms across all platforms. 3. Make it easy to adjust weight and other variables on all platforms as in My Fitness Plan. 4. Allow note making at waypoints on all Map apps. 5. Share data with health insurance incentive plans like Humana’s Go/365. 6. Tell us how much battery life each app consumes. A single map app drains my battery in less than 4 hours.

Second time this app has saved my life:)

The app shows up under the list of Complications, but when I go to a watch face it doesn’t show up in the list if choices.

About 2x of what I really burn according to other calculations.

The newest update won’t open at all. Was fine the day before this update.

I wish I could see my hear rate, calorie burn live when I’m tracking my hike instead always switching applications.

Used to really love this app for hikes. I still its just ok. Marginal at best. Good for flat trail hikes and good cell service areas. That’s when it’s most accurate. It doesn’t really account for elevation and the stats always get thrown way off. Hiked a long hike yesterday and I kept getting pop up notifications that my workout has stopped and tap to resume. Annoying because I definitely was not stopped. Time for a new hiking app. Disappointed.

Got this app because it had horseback riding as one of the options for mapping my ride. I haven’t used it for a month, and now when I opened it back up that option is no longer there. What the hell?

At first I was excited about connecting to my Apple Watch. The problem lies in the app (in the watch). The Map My hike watch app constantly prompts you to save, finish, discard etc. Every time I tried to look at my watch, one of those prompts came up. I managed to delete a 7 mile hike with over 3000 feet of elevation gain because I accidentally bumped the watch.

Settings change mid hike, randomly screen pops various prompts

Other wise good app

I'm so disappointed! The first hike I took using the app once I installed it on my watch, the app reset mid hike, losing my map. This would have been disastrous if I was counting on it to get back to my starting point, as I so often do. I use the app on my phone all the time with good results. I think the sweat on my wrist may have affected it but whatever, I couldn't get it to "stick". I had to take off my watch and reset the app on my phone to get it to work. Please fix this problem!!

Inconsistent mileage, didn’t record part of the hike. Not the first time.

Only just started re- using, this time around it kept pausing- very annoying. B4, it was great.

Distance not measured correctly.

Love love love this app. Use it to track all my hikes and I love that they have added a water feature. I am having a problem where my app stops tracking my hike. Today on my hike I would start the hike and lock the screen. Then a few minutes later I would check back and it wasn’t tracking me at all. When I reopened the app it would reload, as if the app had been closed, but still open the hike I was tracking (just drawing a straight line to my new location from the last location). It happened three times. I’m not sure if the app is crashing, or I’m pausing by accident.

the app opens but the screen freezes.

I’m not a huge runner or hiker, but I wish this app allowed you to adjust the pace intervals to quarter miles or at least half miles. It would be nice if you could customize the information in the updates too.

Quit with updates. EVERY time I get one it changes something I was not expecting. This time the distance reporting. It changes when it wants. And what happened to steps. I do not like this app now takes to much time to overcome updates

It cut out half my run! 🤬🤬🤬

I tried this for a year and I’m not real satisfied. Perhaps I’m carrying it too close in f**** pack it keeps pausing. I also can’t figure out how to correctly position the GPS. It shows I’m walking on water.

In Alaska I’m often off network. Unfortunately this program on occasion will log me out and there is no way to track my ride at that point. Even though I never log out. Which makes it unreliable

Best dependable trusty free app which doesn't have hidden costs you didn't elect to to sign up for. Works well with lots of info saved and map tracking. It will try to get you into social media that could subject one to stalkers. Other than that- GREAT!!!!😎

I first started hiking, biking, and skiing this trail over 40 years ago. I can’t do the biking and skiing anymore but I can still sure enjoy hiking the trail. It’s great to have a trail 20 minutes from home that I can enjoy any time of the year. You can make it as easy or as long as you want especially when you’re biking. We built 2 half mile sections so that we could ride a double loop. The Shingle Mill trail The forest service bill unfortunately is badly washed out now. There is an acceptable connecting trail that you can ride. It surprises me to be up here on a Saturday morning and not see a biker.

The previous issue with the forced country identification which led to an inability to use the app (because the button to select country would not work on my device) has been fixed. I use the app to log my hikes and has been very useful. I will rate the app higher if the occasional frozen screen at launch clears up. Overall, a very useful app.

I am 63 yr old. Trying to keep up with technology in a slow methodical way. Ha! Decided to get this app after hearing about it from a friend. Very happy with ease of use !!

I have used this app for many years now. I have recommended this app to many people and they thank me for it. But as of lately, not a good app. I have been reinstalling it to get it to work. I have not been able to use it for all my hikes do to the app freezes or just will not work. It’s been this way for the summer. I was hoping they would fix the problems. But now after 4 months of this going on. I have decided to start looking for other apps. Which is really to bad. I like the fact I could look back 5 years Ago & see where I was hiking and how far it was. Maybe I will check this app out next year. But with fall coming I want a dependable app that works every time.

I try to send routes from my computer to the app but when I do, the app freezes. I’d like to have a route saved before I go on a hike

App keeps pausing when I am walking. Tracked my hike correctly but only tallied 0.92 miles on a 4 mile hike. MapMyRide works just fine. So I use MapMyRide and set moving option to “Hiking”

What be really nice is if the mile markers showed up on the map. As far as going premium, the only thing that jumps out @ me is the heart rate. I assume this would be used in calculating calories. How are calories burned calculated? In nonpremium & premium I’d be interested in knowing. Also, adding pictures along the route would be great. The other premium features don’t really do anything for me. I do Hiking for fun & the awesome views. Not time, split time, coaching, etc...

Breathing too hard, bad timing, works great

Been using this app for two years and I’ve loved it but the last three months it’s been cutting out half of my hikes. I’ll go about three miles but it’ll say like 0.4 miles and half the time. It’s so weird. It pauses every 7 seconds after I hit resume. I might have to get a new app for my hikes, I’ve given it three chances now...

Not accurate at all.

Not happy about giving out personal information just you use the app

I’ve used this frequently and love it. I was pleased when I could launch the app from my watch, however recently the app on the watch is stuck on the “loading” step and nothing I do seems to get it unfrozen. Suggestions?

Love it

Great app! It works in difficult places and records all my valuable hiking details.

The app is off by almost 3 miles. I have pretty good cellular service where I walk so it wouldn’t be that. It said I walked 4.35 miles the day I used it, Apple health app said I did 2.5. I did some digging with maps on my phone and google maps and they both said similar miles when I put in the destination I walked from to the place I turned around to walk back.

I love this app. Only one request I would ask of the developers. When I am running walking or biking. The PAUSE WORKOUT button move it from the bottom to the top or the corner. Why ?? Because on three occasions I’ve hit pause work out and did my run only to come and see that it was paused. Or maybe don’t move it make it to where I have to hold it for two or three seconds to pause and hold for more than five secs to end workout. Other than that thanks so much for the app. I use about three of your under Armour apps.

It hot, full on sun in the beginning. So amazing!!!

The tracking of my hikes overestimates the distances by more than 30%, yet the company will not respond to my complaints and research the issue.

Requires that you create an account before it will do anything. Having an online account is not necessary for what this app is supposed to do, so once again YOUR information is the product.

This app used to write data to Apple Health. Since they’ve made their paying customers switch over to this version of the app, it no longer connects. UA support says it’s a known issue and that they’ll contact me once resolved. It’s been a month and no fix or updates on a fix.

Overall I like the app. But when I add a pic at the end of the hike it won’t load after it saves sometimes.

The New app is too easy to accidentally pause my work out. I’ve ruined several workouts because it causes by itself or accidentally when trying to close my phone. I’m a little fed up and as of tomorrow I will be looking for a new app just to see what’s out there. Haven’t looked yet so I don’t know. If I see that this app is changed itself I’ll definitely come back.

Good program

The hike was great but this app is not very good at calculating distance when there’s elevation. We had gone 0.75 miles up a steep hill and app calculated as 0.1... big difference! Great for flat hikes.

Solid, reliable app. Helps document my training program. Would be lost without it!

I really like this app until it goes on pause by itself. I make sure I am not in the page where you click to pause and yet maybe 15% of the time I find the program in pause when I take the phone out of my pocket to check the walk.

Great app but wish it could offer a tracking device similar to beacon with Strava

Oh my just the positive people gives me motivation to keep moving and they are waaaay across the world!!!!❤️❤️❤️ So many beautiful places posted. People are working it out🏃🏽‍♀️🚣🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♂️🏊🏼‍♂️🚴🏽‍♂️🧗🏼‍♂️

Since the most recent upgrades (iOS and MapMyHike), I’m constantly getting a pop-up notification of “Application Termination” - your workout has been stopped. Tap this notification to resume your work out. Problem is, this occurs in the middle of the work out when I haven’t stopped. It is incredibly annoying and very frequent. Under Armor, get your act together. Something is very wrong.

Been using this app forever now after hiking 8 1/2 miles it shows only 1 1/2 miles and 30 mins instead of 4 hrs?!? But shows the whole trail I did, tracking works but everything else very bad 😳🤦‍♀️
