Pushy, sales driven app. Buggy too. I seem to remember them beginning to try and get social as well. No thanks. That's what equity firm ownership gets you. I'll stick with comaps. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Ripley_Tripley@lemmus.org 4 points 2 months ago (2 children) I'm having second thoughts on Alltrails as well, I started getting very suspicious of them when they started getting rid of their general features but want their users to pay more money, for the same experience. I also noticed that too, with the bugginess. Now the miles most of time for me not being recorded properly. With setting up CoMaps, I really hope I can use it as an alternative. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 child) Trail sense is a good app to have with too.

I assume you could find a custom map and download that and run it off CoMaps. It kind of depends on which park you are at.

It can show public hike and bike paths, but UI takes time to get used to. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zen_Shinobi@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago CoMaps is based off OsmAnd.
