National Park Trail Guide App Comentários

Nice layout. Good info. But missing Canyon and NP in Utah but had a NM instead.

Love this app for finding the not as crowded gems in the parks. I love all the trail details and difficulty ratings so we know what we are getting into. Recommend 10/10!

I just ran across this app. Downloaded to iPhone and iPad (older). There is nothing here. No parks no search result. NOTHING. And yes I logged in to a new account.

I was enjoy using the app to research Glacier National Park. Today I open the app and get message that app needs to update the data & that it will take a second. Twenty minutes later, the app still is not providing any National Park information and keeps repeating the message. App should be updated such that data refresh takes place in background and the current data is still displayed. Current version is inconsistent and makes using it for planning unreliable.

It won’t let me create an account. Can’t get past “enter email” page. Can’t use the app without creating an account 🤷‍♀️

This is a fantastic app for learning about and enjoying the National Parks….for the ones they have decided to include. I wish it was all inclusive, as we are trying to visit ALL NP’s, but several are not included in this app.

There’s nothing in this app, what happened?!

I made an account. Tried to find trails. Nothing!!

Absolutely nothing in here

This all has no data or information in it

App doesn't let me create an account not. Without an account, cant use it!

I love this app. I hope they continue to add more

Perfect subsections and simple paragraphs. Easy to handle

I love this app for 3 reasons: it offers useful trail data, it works well offline out when out of service, and it is easy to select family friendly hikes, but after using it extensively for four years, it is missing a few key features. 1 ability to see roads and trails at the same time. At times you need to navigate to the trails, not having a visual of roads anywhere, it is sometimes unclear when you switch to map apps for driving to a trail which trailhead you need to access. Also in some parks you need to see which trails are hours away versus easily accessible. You just can't tell without roads. 2. accessibility, eg the text is tiny and cannot be zoomed or enlarged. Having a list of accessible hikes would also be helpful. 3. Beyond the highlighted trails, there's no a search feature for hikes, and it can be hard to find ones that are suitable. I would love to be able to search keywords like "quiet" "view" or "elevation" "dry" 4. No way in the Grand Canyon to see north and south rim separately... I continue to recommend the app, but these improvements would make it even better.

Changing my review, I thought it didn’t have canyonlands but you just need to search for some of them if they don’t appear on a presorted list.

Not very useful for on trail use as this lacks offline features.

This doesn’t even have Mount Charleston !

The NPS app recommends this app but it doesn’t work

Had this on my phone for a while, but been over a year since using. Noticed it updated recently but upon opening I get: “We need to update the data store. Hang on, this will only take a second” Well, their “second” doesn’t match the standard definition of second. After waiting several minutes; I deleted and re-installed the app with the same result. Yes, I can close out of the screen which I am left to search zero parks.

Stumbled on to this app I had downloaded a while ago. Prepping for Southern Utah trip and noted most of the key hikes already planned out for me with pictures as well. Highly recommend.

Thanks to this app I could get around like a long time local Even offline could navigate on all the trails

I was really hoping this would help me complete all of the trails in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National lakeshore but it doesn’t include those trails! It shows the lakeshore on the map, and the roads within, but none of the trails. Since that’s the closest park by far, it was a big disappointment. From looking at the other content I probably would’ve given it five stars if it had my favorite park!

Some great info but not accurate and not all functioning. I filtered to see the parks nearest to me and was surprised the app includes monuments such as Muir Woods but did not list Lassen which is an actual National Park (the title and point of the app). I was able to search to find it. Second issue being that the todo list feature doesn’t work. I tried adding trails to it and nothing. :/ Maybe in the future :)

This app is completely non- functional.

Useless

I don’t remember if I paid anything for it. But whatever I paid, it is well worth it. I have used this app for a few years and several national parks, like Glaciers, Death Valley, Acadia, Joshua Tree. It is extremely helpful when hiking on remote trails with no cell signal. It basically gives you a trail map, all the information such as distance, elevation, etc. love it very much and it’s the mail app that I use for planning and taking hikings in NP.

App was great on a weeklong hiking trip. It made it easy to plan routes for the next day and stay on the right path while hiking (including elevation tracking!). Works offline which makes sense as many hikes don’t have reception.

First off, I love this app and program. It has literally improved every single National Park trip of mine, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. Unfortunately there is some issue when it comes to organization. Some of the “parks” listed are instead units of the National Park system. If there could be a way to separate the actual 63 national parks from the several hundred other units and monuments, that would make the user experience much more enjoyable. Additionally multiple trails appear to be lacking, such as the trail to summit Rainer, cavern trails at Carlsbad and Mammoth Cave, and the trail to summit Denali. If these could be added that would be a tremendous improvement to keeping track of routes taken. Fix these and so long as there are no bugs it will immediately result in a 5 star review!

Thought this looked interesting. Read the description and nowhere did I see anything about a cost. As soon as I downloaded it I was told I’d been charged a buck. Not happy!! Can’t comment on the app since it hasn’t even finished downloading 🥴

Great app, but no way to stay logged in

Just used this app to hike 4 days in the smokies. Very useful. Works with real gps and not cell phone gps. So it never failed to locate me on the trail maps. It shows maps of the trails with points of interest. It indicates where you are on the trail. And it shows if you are not on the trail. It also gives you the trail ascent grade throughout the trail. Nice app

Great app. Useful throughout the park; GPS works even in “airplane mode”.

This is truly a great app. The maps are spot on and the GPS can work even if you’re in a dead zone (download for offline use!) This has a lot of hikes and allows you to see the information easily and freely in the app. I downgraded a star though because some of the information contained within the app is outdated, and needs to be updated. Many trails in different parks have been modified or now require tickets to hike them that can only be purchased through the National Park Service website. For the most updated information please go to the Hiking Project website where most of the information contained here resides.

I love this app!

Combine information on this app with the park website and handouts to make the most of your visit.

This is my go-to resource when I’m checking out national parks in and what to do in them. The app itself is gorgeous and very user friendly. It makes good use of the beautiful photography of the national parks it has resources on. I really like the sorting of the hikes into those that are the “Best Hikes” to hit the highlights and also “Family Friendly” hikes including giving tips on how to make more difficult hikes easier for kids like turning around after a certain mile marker, etc. I recommend this app to everyone I know, definitely check it out!

App locked up. Can’t access. Frozen.

Using it right now on our family trip to Mammoth Cave National Park. In general I’ve not gotten any decent cell service when hiking here or elsewhere in general. I guess they can’t put cell tower in the middle of the national park, lol. The app uses your phones gps on preloaded maps and was spot on accurate. It’s great to be able to see how far out you are or if you followed the right path etc.

I feel dumb, but when I selected a trail in Rocky Mountain NP and went to the map, I couldn't find any way to get back to the park page or the main page of the app. Any help?

This app is essential for people who are not familiar with mountain hiking. I know where I am at all times and iI can plan my trip for the most enjoyment.

I’m sure this has good info, but it is difficult to read! Not everyone has youthful eyes. Please add an option to adjust text size.

I love these apps but I would love to see another app for rappelling/canyoneering

What’s the point

Well put together app with tons of pics and info. I’ll definitely be using it while at the parks.

This app is amazingly useful. I have used it to plan every single one of my trips to a. Atinó al park, including picking camping sites and navigating the trails at the park with no phone signal. It is my go to tool for trip planning. I especially love the altitude info that you can follow along the routes and the photos and ratings of the trails. Functionality missing that would make this app perfect: ability to list or map all campsites or all parking lots without the need to zoom in on the routes.

Great app, with lots of info! But it literally has nothing for the state of GA. Wanted to use this app to plan out hiking but it’s a flop...

Great app be extra cool if it had gps maps. I may have overlooked it but having hiked some of these in Big Bend the app is accurate.

Beautiful park year round no matter the weather your into. Lots of lakes and things to do such as camping, hiking,biking,snow sledding, dog walking, history and a beautiful forest with a volcano. Easy to moderate hikes not to bad on all ages. Park staff are very helpful and polite. All kinds of roads into the park from either side you come from weather it’s hwy 36,44,89.

Tired of trying to view live camera shots in all the parks and finding at least half of them don’t work. Grand Canyon and Yellowstone not working. Denali only one working, North Cascades hasn’t been working for at least 2 years. And the one I check most often, because it’s closets to me quit working about 6 months ago. I wish there could be something done about it. Since it’s government, I doubt if anything will happen be. Considering deleting app. Ralph Dady
