Review summary

Reviews largely praise Wikiloc for trail discovery and community use, but repeatedly flag paywalls gating essential features (location, offline maps, GPX), offline map usability issues, account management friction, and missing UI options like dark mode and language support. Overall positive sentiment toward core functionality but significant friction for offline use and premium access.
Pros
  • Long-standing, trusted app for finding walks and planning group hikes.
  • Strong, positive community and overall satisfaction with the app.
  • Good trail options and reliable tracking features for hikes (steps and routes).
  • Easy to use and generally accurate, with positive user sentiment.
  • Widely regarded as good value for money and a useful overall solution.
Cons
  • Paywalls gate core features (e.g., viewing your location, offline maps, GPX export), causing frustration.
  • Offline maps are unreliable or require online verification; downloads can fail.
  • Account management friction, including forced Google sign-in and inability to delete accounts.
  • Missing UI/features like dark mode and language options.
  • Reliability gaps such as not listing certain regions and occasional perceived unreliability.

Totally useless without a paying subscription. Even the so called 14 free days require your credit card details.

FORCED me to update the app the second time in three days now(i have very bad cell reception offroading! no way to get around the update, disabling google play services not possible) updating also required me to login with 2FA and reset some settings. also you CAN NOT download the gpx file. you have to SEND it first to someone / some app. btw, locus obviously is not aviable to send it to in the selection. in app navication does not override screen sleep. subscription will be cancelled

Easy to use, and an excellent means of finding trails to hike worldwide. Being able to see what a route is like in advance and compare recordings of multiple users has opened up the world of hiking to everyone.

it's somewhat unusable without the Premium subscription but it's cheap enough to be a total no-brainer, around 2€ for three months is something I'm fully willing to pay for a service this good. Many trails, impeccable tracking. Very battery-heavy, though. I recommend disabling its ability to work in the background. There's a free trial as well to see whether your region has many recognized trails, so you know what you've paying for. Extremely useful app!

Worst UI ever. Even on Premium for the first few hours of using it, I uninstalled it. If you want to have any information on Hikes just don't waste your time with this app.
