It’s nice that so much is listed but the information isn’t current or correct. Imagine riding 40 miles thinking a restaurant you were going to eat a steak at has been closed. Double check everything if you’re relying on this

It seems to work well. It’s .99 cents. Go for it

Issues mentioned in earlier reviews seem to be fixed, you can easily plan from home by scanning the trail for points of interest and amenities. The photos are helpful (I was between two restroom options and from the pics I chose the bath house over the portables!) but where this app really shines is the background information and historical detail about all the sites along the way. I could’ve hiked right past the Clara Barton house thinking yeah that’s cool without knowing the story about the roller coaster built around her house in a failed attempt to force her out. I’ll probably still use All Trails, google maps, and other tools in addition to this for more involved planning, but the info in this app is a treasure! Well worth the .99 for history and detail you won’t find elsewhere.
