## Review summary

MTB Project is praised for offline access, ease of use, a strong trail library with good descriptions, travel-friendly trail discovery, and generally free access. However, users repeatedly flag major downsides: no live location indicator, poor on-bike usability (no map while riding), lack of per-trail comments, a cluttered UI with multiple map layers, and intrusive upsell prompts. Some mention data currency versus competitors, but the top recurring issues center on orientation, on-ride functionality, interaction, and UI/promo annoyances.

### Pros

- Offline usage and reliable access to trail info without internet
- Easy to use and user-friendly experience
- Extensive trail database with helpful trail descriptions for travelers
- Helpful navigation and ability to locate nearby trails while traveling
- Mostly free access with valuable features

### Cons

- No live location dot or easy way to see your current position, making orientation difficult
- Not usable during riding or recording (can't view trail map while riding) and can misplace you when navigating
- No per-trail user comments, limiting feedback and community interaction
- UI is cluttered with overlapping map layers and hard-to-hide routes, reducing readability
- Frequent prompts to buy or install other apps (upsell banners) and difficulty disabling them
