Review summary

Users praise Hiking Project for being free, map-based with crowd-sourced data, and reliable for planning, especially with elevation profiles. The main complaints focus on incomplete trail coverage, paywalls restricting features, lack of GPX export and offline navigation support, tracking and login issues, and some UX labeling problems.

Pros

Free app with strong value compared to AllTrails.
Map-centric experience with user-contributed data and ongoing improvements.
Reliable, planning-friendly with elevation profiles and difficulty ratings.
Elevation profiles and detailed trail information (topography, ascent, etc.).

Cons

Trail coverage is incomplete: many trails are missing or not listed.
Some features and data are behind a paywall (filters and access to data).
GPS tracking is buggy or inaccurate and GPX export is not supported.
Login/account issues and cross-account sign-in frustrations.
UI/UX labeling and map readability can be confusing (text too small, unclear labels).

2026-07-10	*****	When it works, it's good. However, logging in on the app is impossible. It always redirects me to the on X page to login, but I don't have an account for that. It was fixed when I contacted customer service, and now it's doing it again. What's the point of this if I can only use it on the browser anyway????!

2026-06-19	Ji*****	Offline maps work, records where you've been, keeps a log of recorded hikes. Web app is easier to use, on phone or PC. Favorites list helps remember hikes to do again. No route planning using multiple trails. Needs some bug fixes, new features, but apparently no longer being actively maintained. update: some bugs fixed in newer updates

2026-02-18	Ku*****	It's a start. It's missing a lot of features. I couldn't figure out how to get additional details on a trail. maybe it just didn't have them.

2025-12-07	Ch*****	Didn't even show Blackpool on the map. Considering that's where I'm from and the starting point of my joutney... Dogshit! Would give it zero stars if I could.

2025-09-07	Br*****	It works offline and is free. I think it's better than the paid version of AllTrails.
