Reviews for Trailforks

Either pay for it (subscription) or it’s terrible. I rarely use the app, maybe a half dozen times a year so I’m not going to upgrade to the pro version. If the had a ‘lite’ version that was just maps with half of the features I would think about it. The updated version allows you […]

I had to uninstall and reinstall the app 3 times to get it set up correctly, and even now it has a very limited free version. I’m very hesitant paying for a subscription when I don’t know the quality of features I would get. There was previously an issue where I couldn’t zoom in or […]

None of the trials around me show including the Great Allegheny Passage. There’s 1 halfway across my state. The only way to ever see them is to zoom all the way into where it’s at. That’s not helpful if you’re trying to discover or new to things. Constantly displaying a nagging screen to “upgrade to […]

Helpful, but glitchy for me. Won’t go without it but it always has a hard time showing pictures and routes of the trail I’m currently looking at, always reverts back to something I was looking at 15 minutes ago for some reason. I also wish that the “open app” button when trying to view trail […]

Not user friendly at all. Very difficult to use. All I am trying to do is search trail with name but it won’t. Maybe I am doing something wrong but if that’s the case, it says it all. Shouldn’t be this difficult to find the trail I am look for using search. Seems like I […]

This is my go-to app when looking for new trails. I’m only using the free version, so I can’t really compare it to the subscription. I just can’t afford the paid version at the moment. Update 10/1/2025: I have had to delete this app because I have been locked out of the free version. I […]

I signed up for pro hoping it would be better than the free version but found it very hard to use. Routes are miscategorized, search doesn’t work well, etc. Maybe they will improve the app but for now I would try one of the alternatives. Definitely still feels like a (somewhat broken) free app with […]

I really like this app, honestly it has a huge amount of potential still, but it’s already an amazing app, I think the price is way to high for subscription, when you talk about the competition, most of them, like the really good ones are actually mainly free so hopefully you do take that deeply […]

the absolute worst support I’ve ever encountered for a paid app. It took up to 10 days to get a response at times and there was zero follow up. I’ve been trying for months to solve a problem with no luck. My Pro subscription is up next month and I won’t be renewing. Mark Holloway […]

I don’t know why this is so highly rated! They want you to pay for everything, throwing ads at me right off the bat and I can only download one region at a time!? NO, YOU MUST PAY! It looks to me like you don’t get anything useful through payment anyway but I’m uninstalling due […]

Good app, but it’s almost useless unless you pay (it wasn’t always like this). I get it, it costs money to host the data, support live maps, etc. But you literally can’t even click on a trail to view it unless you pay them? Yet they still want me to feed them FREE, CROWD-SOURCED data […]

I pay the Pro version, but it’s really unreliable app, I download desired regions at home before ride, to be ready while needed, than you are on a ride, open the app and it wants to download the region again, so if you are in place with low or no reception, you are left with […]

This used to be the best mtb app, but I hate using it now. I don’t even mind paying (although the yearly pricing is getting ridiculous) but over the years the user experience has gotten way worse. There were a couple summers I couldn’t even log in because of the outdoor magazine account merging situation.. […]

This app used to be so great. But I’m having the same issue as Timothy C from 4/17/25 now: downloaded regions aren’t showing up offline, or are intermittently disappearing from my downloads folder. That, and selecting trails to review stats only works occasionally and I have yo restart the app to select more than one. […]

I’m stuck in a loop and the app is useless for the only thing I want to do with it. Logged in to my Trailforks account, pulled up a saved route. Tried to share it to Garmin Connect. It prompts me to log in to Trailforks. Which I’m already logged into, or I wouldn’t have […]

I am also an original subscriber. I used to love this app, but no more. Every time I open it, in town or on the trail, it starts downloading regions….that have already been downloaded…which makes the app useless. I’ve tried to turn off automatic sync…nope. Uninstall, reinstall….nope. Also, zero customer service. Don’t waste your time […]

This used to be the best app but is now essentially useless. Downloaded regions no longer show up when not connected to wifi or data. it is somehow a very data hungry app that can download a few g in a few days. and still not be able to show maps. Oftentimes you can see […]

App only gets worse and more locked down each update. Shame there is such a high subscription cost now, due to this no one provides any trail updates and the app is going through a slow painful death. If Outside wants to charge for trail data then they should probably go out and get that […]

I’m a founding member. This has been the best trail map database, but this year I have not been able to get downloaded regions to show up if I start the app offline. This is a crucial feature. Like, when I’m at a trailhead in the woods, wanting to navigate, no trails show up. No […]

I’m very disappointed in what this app has become. I’ve been using it since it was completely free. It has recently become useless. I can’t get trails to render on the map. It will not download data which is one of the reasons I pay the subscription. My confidence with this app in new unfamiliar […]
