As long as you always remember, that using All Trails is only useful whilst your phone is functioning, then your good to go.My advice would be to always take a battery reserve. I learnt that the first time I used it. I also learnt that the “Navigate” feature, which drains your battery, is mostly not necessary. You can always see your location, compared to the highlighted route that you’ve downloaded in advance, and use offline. You won’t get alerts if your off course, but If in doubt, check the route before straying too far off course. Just use common sense. If I was to do a multi day remote walk, with no signage, I’d want a map and compass as well.Despite these pre conditions, I love using this App. I think it’s value for money, and a great tool. If nothing else, it’s good to have reassurance that your still on route…. and if not, ( and that happens occasionaly to me, cause I chose not to use “Navigate”) it’s easy to use the map to re find the correct course.

I organise walks for large groups of women, sometimes with young children and with my family and am able to find suitable walks, or even custom make walks (my new favourite thing) and guide them with confidence. The maps are downloadable so you can use them in aeroplane mode and save battery. Cross sections provide a good overview for walkers. Reviews help when tracks have been closed or in need of repair or that are hard to find. It is even able to alert you should you miss a turn. I’ve also been fortunate enough to have travelled the world and am able to use this in every country I’ve been. I can’t rate this enough. I love trawling over map locations, reading reviews, looking at photos and searching for the next perfect walk. If you need a good map companion download to your phone- this is the app for you.
