This would be the perfect application for me, if it did what it claimed. I have been using the app for about a year, and in that time it has never been without issues, despite multiple revisions. As of October 2024 the offline maps seem to know work finally, however you still need a connection to load planned routes at the start of your hike. I want to love this app, but it has been nothing but frustration and unreliable. This is not worth £40.
Reviews for HiiKER: The Offline Hiking app
Hiker is an awesome app. Guided me through the entire TMB with my downloaded gpx. Highly recommend, it's awesome!
I've use several hiking apps but this is now my favourite & most used by far. The free version is brilliant but so glad I paid for the pro version as it's such a cheap price for so many features it's a no brainer to have this installed. Very helpful & fast replys from the developers if any problems or questions. A++++
10/10 App free version is crazy good! No obtrusive ads, excellent trails and maps. Great tracking (don't really use it) but nice to have. Works great offline! Can't say enough good things about it!
Having used the Ordnance Survey app for three years I came away from that when renewal became expensive. After looking for a while I decided Hiiker provided everything and more for less cost so signed up. I have not been disappointed. It works well, is easy to use and I expect to be a long term user.
it's my go to depending on my mood. Sometimes I want something gentle and stress free and other times a challenge. Very clear and reliable
This is a great app. I use it with EastWest Maps wherever possible. Also have first-hand experience of their user support which was very good.
So far so good.. Would be cool if we could setup/organize group hikes/events in-app. Add a social aspect to make friends and meet new people, etc.
App looks fairly good but no trial option to checkout Pro options... other apps such as Outdoor Active, AllTrails and OSMaps offer trial options, hence will trial one of those out. If you do decide to do a trial then will give it a go.
As for me the app is useless, even the PRO+. If you want to plan your own route there is no info about ascent or descent, no elevation profile. I contacted the services but got no response.
