Why we like and use Alltrails App?
Alltrails App is an application that is widely used within the community of hikers, bikers and trail runners.
It is just a perfect application that has little to no faults. It is also a great combination of a GPS and a social media platform, we take photos of beautiful mountains, the sky and the stars whenever we go out for a hike, we get to communicate with many individuals that passed the way routes and individuals that will be traveling there soon, we use this application to exchange ideas and what we experienced as well as any and all difficulties that the routes present.
Typically we don’t use paid subscriptions on application like these, but Alltrails Pro definitely something that we considered and ended up getting, no regrets at all.
It is a wonder addition to the application and actually provides more useful functionality and features!
The normal free version is great too and many of us actually very much like the free version.
Most of us are very experienced in hiking, we like to explore new and exciting opportunities, with the addition of these alerts, ad-free, 3D maps and backups of your routes and paths as well as other features…
It really is worth it for us, older folks 😉
More importantly to that the pro version also gives you access to ‘Real-time Map overlays – Air Quality, Satellite Weather, Pollen and Light Pollution’, which may sound too good to be true, but in reality it does help greatly and allows us to prepare for the worst.
Also, the subscription goes towards helping the environment, so you get great features at a low cost and you help save the environment. Two birds, one stone.

AllTrails
When someone one mentions hiking application to an experienced individual, their answer may very well be “AllTrail”, whether you like it or not, the application is very useful and definitely deserves to be on the top of the list, mainly due to its vast about of features and function, as well as up-to-date and regular system updates.
From our personal experience we would compare it to a blend of Google Maps and Google Images, in terms of it displaying the images provided by other hikers as well as illustrating a path towards that destination in the picture.
