Users find TrailWatch good for recording hikes and generally easy to use, but many face issues with map loading and inaccurate route tracking showing straight lines. Login problems persist with limited options, mainly Facebook-only login causing frustration. Sharing options are limited and some app functions like photo uploads and search are problematic. Overall, while the app has useful features for hikers, stability and usability issues hamper its experience.
