User Reviews

Users appreciate Cairn as a reliable hiking safety app offering peace of mind for solo adventurers, with an easy-to-use interface, offline maps, and helpful tracking features. However, multiple reviews report problems with incomplete map downloads, SMS notification failures when multiple contacts are set, difficulty with subscription cancellation, unclear offline functionality, and occasional inaccurate route tracking. Users value responsive customer support and hope for improved features such as better route planning and more comprehensive tutorials.

Pros

Provides peace of mind for solo hikers by notifying safety contacts if they don't check back on time
User-friendly and clear interface suitable for hikers who want simple tracking functionality
Includes useful features like offline maps and trail stats
Enables location sharing with friends and safety contacts during solo trips
Responsive developer support that engages with user feedback

Cons

Issues with map downloads freezing or not fully downloading
SMS notifications can fail if multiple safety contacts are set, depending on default SMS apps
Some users find offline tracking and destination selection options unclear or limited
Subscription management is problematic with no easy way to unsubscribe or stop charges
Route tracking can inaccurately display routes, showing straight lines instead of actual paths

Peace of mind for solo adventurers! I've been using this for a good while now. I made a cardboard reminder that I leave out, to make sure I "End trip" on my return. In the early days I forgot several times; "crying wolf" to your contacts isn't recommended... If you're not sure you'll have internet at your day's destination, there's a risk of a false alarm, so bear that in mind when setting your Due Back By time/date. Once you've set it you can go to Flight Mode to conserve battery, if desired.

Maps do not completely download, they freeze at around 80 percent. No way to unsubscribe, no way to contact support, I've tried emailing and messaging then on social media, and no way to stop your account being charged unless you buy a new debit card from your bank. It's just a scam, use farout or alltrails, they're the same price
