Reviews for komoot - hike, bike & run

I have been using Komoot for about 1.5 years. Great topo maps. Downloadable offline maps. Turn by turn navigation. Ability to plan and save future activities. What sets it apart is the earning in-app merits for sharing hikes with the community. The first area you select is free, but you must purchase region and world […]

This app is really good, offline maps for the whole region not just trails, and native connection to Garmin Connect. I would improve two things: 1. Ability to browse the map and see trails. This is possible in “collections”, but limited to the hikes included. 2. Larger database for US trails. I usually end up […]

I downloaded the app and paid for it while I was in the middle of nowhere in the Black Forrest in Germany (I still had a cell signal!). The app is a super resource and I decided to purchase the worldwide maps to save having to purchase anything in the future. The overall performance was […]

I like that it has preset routes you can try, but planning your own route is very frustrating. BUT I can’t work out Way points. It won’t even let me follow a well-known cycle path and keeps diverting around it. It needs a planning model like Mapometre, where you click on the map as you […]

Looking for routes to go places with my e-skateboard while avoiding busy roads, I needed something where I could set waypoints and make my own routes. This application, combined with my smart watch, was perfection. I made a route on the map, then had my watch backward on my wrist to see the navigation without […]

Needs improvement. The app interface is not well thought out. It works better on the computer. The guided navigation either prompts too much or not at all. It will frequently miss trail turns. It consumes massive amounts of battery compared to similar apps. Loses GPS signal sometimes. I regret paying 29.99 despite its recommendation by […]

pausing on my tour to write this out of frustration. pretty good. buggy as hell. voice nav needs work. often it will tell me to “turn left” when that really means “stay on the road you’re on and don’t turn right”. also doesn’t know how to count roundabout exits (does it count as an exit […]

Route planning based on fitness level seems great, but it’s useless. I tried planning my bike commute as a test. I’m not the most fit, but I’m definitely at least average. Even when I set the fitness level to “couch potato”, it showed me the most unnecessarily difficult route with a bunch of avoidable elevation […]

Loving this app so far. Took me a new way home. It’s not perfect, but it does turn-by-turn bike directions really well with options to get to point B fast, take the scenic route or get your nobbies dirty. I’m still a new user so I’ll write something more meaningful after I’ve used it a […]

It looks pretty enough, but the route finder completely ignores a bike route with a dedicated lane in favor of a busy thoroughfare with no bike lane nearby. For what, speed? It’s not even as direct a route. The route finding function is the only thing that might have made this app worth the whole […]

I’ve been using this as my main back country map app and it mostly works with a few major flaws. The worst is that when using the robot voice navigation, the robot constantly warns you if you’re not on your route – like every minute – and there’s no way to turn off the warnings […]

Dissatisfied with the poor customer/tech support. “send us more info” and nothing really changes. The map can’t be rotated. Missing a lot of bike paths built in the past 2 years. Can’t modify a trip once started. Can’t set a “home” or recurring starting point. Does not remember usual shortcuts/routes. I regret paying for the […]

Trail planning is very good and offline navigation has been great. Easy on the battery too, surprisingly. But I’ve noticed a few trails are missing around my area. The “discover” function is pretty useless too; I have yet to find any hikes through it. Another gripe is that regions are too small and expensive. I […]

I suspect it’s okay if you’ve used it for years. As a noob it’s dense, confusing and hard to plan a route. Finding a ride results in a tangled mass of lines, none of which match the ride that didn’t get saved to your profile. There’s no auto rerouting, so when you take an alternate […]

The app still works, but the product seems to be shifting to social, e.g. my “home” screen is full of social shared stuff I have never signed up for nor can i turn it off. every time I finish recording, it asks me a ton of social-sharing-questions that require extra clicks to skip. I get […]

I have used this app for the last month or so with my e-scooter. So far, I like how easy it is to customize any route and that the app is able to consider electric bikes when providing a route! I get to my destinations safely and in record time because I can count on […]

The app is always telling me to make u-turns instead of left or right turn. I want to like this app, but it seems to be lacking in important navigational areas. while I am on my particular path, it tells me to make a U-turn and then a left turn, when all it needs to […]

I like the Komoot maps and features, but can’t figure out the cost structure – they don’t publish it anywhere I can find. I paid $20 annual a few years ago, but recently started using it again and apparently signed up for the free trial. After two weeks it began billing at $4.99 plus tax […]

Really great app for self-planned routes. I love being able to set my own route and have the turn by turn navigation guide me through the ride, hands-free. Sharing the route with a riding partner is also great. I set routes for walking using the running function. I do wish there was a separate setting […]

Perfect app for cycling. I always wondered where the cyclists in my area got the scoop on prime routes. Now I know. I can’t believe it took me years to find this platform. I kept on reverting to AllTrails which proved to be dangerous and useless at the same time, especially for cycling. The navigation […]
