Easytrails Gps App Reviews

I use this to record hikes, bike rides, and jogs. I love the interface. Solid app.

So far this is the best and most reliable outdoor GPS app I have found of iOS. It is perfect for hiking, biking, geocaching, etc. The app is fully featured and tracks all of your movement data, allows waypoint input and tracking, track saving and uploading, as well as stat breakdowns of your tracks. GPS is very accurate, maintains a signal very well in a pants pocket, and doesn't kill battery life. HIGHLY recommend this for anyone looking for a great outdoor GPS app.

I like this app! I helps me record walks and bike rides.

I ride horses and use it to track my rides. I have truly tested having no cell service and depending on satellite and it continued to track me real time. I even got lost in a national forest and used the map to track back to my original starting point (I use this frequently in forested areas). I am also able to push my racking horse and see out speeds improve with the "maximum speed" tracking. It will also show you local roads that you maybe near should you find yourself in an accident. It does far more than I need it to and everything that I want it to. Well worth the money! I have tried a few others and was disappointed in their performance and that they "lost" me in poor reception areas. With a little bit of photo editing skills and a good program you can even use these tracks to make trail maps for public areas. My only suggestion: if you are horse back riding, strap the phone to YOU not the horse! Every time I show people a track of my rides they want to know "What's that app!?" EasyTrails! Love it!

This is GREAT for horseback riding. Nice to look back and see distance, time, top speed, etc. when trail riding. Map is cool too. ❤️❤️❤️ It!!!

I love this app and would rate it perfect except for lacking a default when trying to save a track. It's inadvertently failed to save a track. I use a Garmin GPS as a back-up just for the few times tracks either got stopped or failed to save.

If you're hoping to download maps or trails that others have already posted, you're better off with Everytrail. Easytrail does not have it's own collection and finding gpx maps on the web isn't as easy as you would think. Even if you find a map of a trail you want to explore, it won't load if there are too many waypoints.

I have used this app for several years to create trails on my formerly undeveloped 230 acre hunting parcel. I upload the trails and hunting blind waypoints to Google Earth and have a great tool to use for guests and for planning how best to use my land in the future.

Love this. Especially the maps and charts

Don't know how they say it does not kill the battery, b/c it does. Severely. Otherwise good.

I have several trail apps for tracking Trails from horseback. I always turn to Easy Trails as it is straightforward but has all the features I need.

It exports kml over wi-fi. Great maps/waypoints/ and stats.

I love this app. Convenient to use the powerful GPS on the phone. Easy to use and save & share.

I have used it mostly to mark trails I have been creating on my property and it works great! Have also used it when flying and works great then too! Would definitely recommend paying for the full version if you need it

My wife and I go trail riding on our horses on the weekends, this is the greatest app for that! Not only can you track the trail you can also take pictures on the way and you can share it with your friends through many different apps!

I'm pretty good at learning by using and this app makes using without training easy. While they could have additional information available, this app is great for recording trail rides.

Cannot get the Wi-Fi sharing to work (however I can get other iphone apps that support sharing to work). Cannot get any technical support to respond to questions about this. I followed the tutorials on the website, but to no avail and there is no troubleshooting support. It's a bit of a shame, as I really like the app. So I give it three stars for the other good stuff that does work and seems to work well. Equipment: iPhone 3GS and Windows Vista using either IE or Firefox. UPDATE: The probelm with the Wi-Fi, I discovered by working at it by trial and error (without any tech support), was not having the Wi-Fi configured properly on my iPhone. Not the fault of the developer or the app. So given this fix/discovery, I would say that this is a 5-star app even without hsving any tech support. I felt it important to provide this update for those of you looking for an app like this that works they way it is supposed to work. If your Wi-Fi sharing is not working, a likely problem will be your Wi-Fi configuration settings on your iPhone. Symptoms of not working are no IP addresses provided by the app or ones without a port number. The full IP address discovered by the app and displayed on the share screen should/could have a port number. If no port number provided and still not connecting, append ":8080", the usual default, to the IP address given (e.g., for your router) in your web browser. Hope that this helps. This is what worked for me.

This app is perfect for GIS grade trail mapping and property reconnaissance. I use the custom coordinate system option to collect data in my local state plane zone. The email export function sends GPX and Google tracks that work seamlessly with my Carlson Survey and ArcMap software. Pretty cool stuff.

We've all seen it: the 'Contact Us' or 'Feedback' or 'We Love Suggestions' button. If we're really passionate, we tap it and spend 10 minutes crafting the letter we're *sure* will get noticed. We tap 'Send'. A few seconds pass and a clearly automated message thanks us for our feedback, and we never hear from them again. Then we stop using the app. Not this time. I requested a feature, and not only did they reply with a thorough explanation, but they've continued to send me updates as they address new features and behaviors that came up in the resultant conversation.

Love this app easy to use. I love that I can export my tracks easily. I can easily add them to my log on OpenTrail.us or email them to my computer to add to my GPS file in gpx form. Many other options too. Works great and is easy to follow old tracks too.

Price is right, tracks all of my rides and makes them easy to share. Very satisfied!

Used the app for two months worked well. Then suddenly quit finding GPS signal. Could find no help. Deleted App, reinstalled, still no signal and lost all my tracks.

I’ve been using this app for years. The accuracy, near unlimited file size and multi-format exports is unrivaled. I used to live on the lake and I “Waypointed” all the bouys and obstructions marked. The. When navigating at night I would be warned ahead of time. A lifesaver. Also when traveling, Waypoint notifications will alert you to previous favorite spots for a revisit or a memory jogger of previous trips and fun times. I like to store places I’d like to visit in various cities and get a notification when close by.

I use this app for all my hiking and biking and it has always worked great. It also quickly connects with satillites when first turned on.

Great app. Easy to use and it continues to be enhanced. Support has answered every question I've asked. 5 stars.

Excellent app. Very accurate tracking. Easy to use. Please join me in spreading the word about the biggest cheating app in the app store. A pool game called Micropool by Botond. Horrible game. Please read the reviews if you don't believe me. Please help by telling everyone you know about this atrocity. Thank you.

It's annoying to get a prompt to turn on Bluetooth every time I open the app.

… now and find a useful app. This apps works perfectly, if you are willing to buy another app to translate the results into something usable. All I wanted was an odometer to measure the length of my bike rides. I might as well hold up a cup and measure how much air is in it or an app that measures the fraction of a lightyear my trips are. They would be just as useful. The free app is worthless… not even a try out. This expensive app is just as useful as the free one. I can understand why they do no warn you in the description. That is how they make their money since there is no way to get a refund.

App nagged me to write a review so here it is. Offline maps are great (but additional cost) but this app has a number of bugs. For example it keeps on announcing it is following a route and does this long after I finish a route and I've killed the app. I don't know how to remove from memory. I'll try a hard reset. Anyway the app is mostly good but has some annoying bugs.

Best app out there. Flawless.

ottima applicazione semplice ed intuitiva per le mie escursioni a cavallo

The big library of overlay maps (Caltopo, nautical, Google, OSM, etc) set this app apart from the rest. Use it all the time!

Of late my tracks are pausing spontaneously. Please fix—this was one of my favorite apps.

I love this app. I use it to track my route when I snow plow and it tracks location and times and makes it simple and easy to read. The maps are accurate and easy to read as well. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to add notes at specific points in my route.

Great last update. I am loyal user and have been using this for years for hunting and cycling. I would love some sort of HealthKit integration so I can import cycling data or something.

This app shows promise but it's a huge battery hog. Even a modest 2-3 hr hike will kill the iphone battery. Big problem when you're in the field with no access to power. Also would be useful if it could pull up existing trail maps from the vicinity and overlay them with the live route map.

Just downloaded this on a whim.... My Garmin bike computer needs a new battery to the tune of $50+ for the service, so thought I'd give this a go. Went on a 22 mile mountain bike ride, and had easy tracker track our ride. It worked great, the only thing I noticed amiss was the assent and decent numbers didn't match, which if you start and end in the same place, of course should match. But overall, the 3 types of maps are quite cool, and shows the locations that we stopped with yellow push pins the overall time as well as the actual time we were moving. The ride was easily exported to email and mailed to a friend....Just not sure how to open a GPX file.....Guess I'll have to figure that out, maybe the developer has some info on that.....HIghly recommend.

Great app. Have used it for years and now it's better than ever.

How can this app not be measured in miles/yards? But only km... totally absurd! What are the developers thinking? They must not know who their market is...

Works exactly as advertised. Maps are accurate and charts are accurate. The settings can easily be changed from metric to imperial (through IPhone settings - the comments on some reviews that it cannot be done is simply wrong). One suggestion: It seems the altitudes are derived from the GPS. I have seen other apps that show altitude based on Map location. It would be useful if one could change the settings to measure altitude based on the Map position.

I just installed IOS 4 and guess what Easy Trails does not record while on stand by anymore. I use this app for Mountain Biking but now I have to wait for and upgrade or for them to fix this bug. Dont buy this app if you have an Iphone 3G! Tried contacting custumer service but never recieve an answer. Upgraded to version 4.1 still does not work!!

I've used this app for a year now and it has been very useful. I have come across a few puzzling glitches though. One, when I use it alongside other apps that use gps, the app occasionally stops recording the track and the whole gps system freezes. It has only happened on a couple of occasions and may by the fault of the other programs but it was inconvenient nonetheless. Two, for some reason I can no longer export my tracks using the web browser, instead I have to email them to myself. The tracks are very accurate when I have it out in the open and visible to the satellites and I think the interface is pretty self explanatory. Those who complain about the accuracy either are using it without letting it get a good signal or are using it for things beyond the capability of the iPhone. Sometimes you just have to be patient and wait for a good signal. If the good signal doesn't come then I have turned the airplane mode in and off or turned the app on and off which solves the problem pretty quickly. One thing that would be nice is a feature which would allow me to upload kml/kmz files of polygons or other information so that I don't have to switch to google earth to monitor where I am in relation to polygons I can only view there. It would also be nice to be able to cache more maps so that when I'm out in the sticks I don't have to stare at a blank screen. Idaho and Nevada don't have the best cell coverage.

You really need to add a tutorial.

Very good app and very good company - with a few changes it will be the goto app for fishing and for going from waypoint to waypoint . Very responsive customer service Capt. Sam

Wonderful app for creating trail maps with points of interest along the trail. You can use the IPhone camera to capture the POI. Very easy to use -- Just start EasyTrails and push the record button. It automatically collects the GPS points and displays the trail as you walk. It works great with the IPAD and the IPhone. In my experience,the GPS sensitivity on the IPAD is much better than my Garmin Etrex that I have used to document trails. I found that you can start EasyTrails recording your trail on the IPAD and then put it in your backpack. It recorded a new 5 mile trail perfectly. It doesn't get any easier! I found the altitude and distance seemed to work fine! You can export the trail via email and share with friends. It also creates a GPX file that can be used with other programs and Google Earth!

Come al solito una ottima apps! sempre utile anche in città!

Makes bikeriding just that much more fun, keeps track of where you go with phenomenal precision, I put it on a holder on my handlebars and it works as an interactive GPS, not to mention after the ride I get a details analysis of my ride including all sorts of charts and data, well worth the money if you are an avid biker!

This app is worth the $$. I don't leave home without it. I use it for hiking, biking, canoeing etc and LOVE it. I love the fact that you can start where you left off. I also love the feature that allows me to take a pic of where I want to go next and then give me directions. I've seen places in route that look cool then take a photo and have directions the next time I want to visit. Awesome. Keep up the good work!
