This might sound odd , but an app that is willing to offer so much for free is worth my support. I ended up buying the 3 year plan. Nothing worse than getting an app only to find that the majority of the features are pro only. I applaud “all trails” for keeping all people and budgets in mind.
We completely agree!! This is definitely something that is created for the people and not to make money. That's one of the reasons we love it so much! We applaud them too! Thank you for watching! Don't forget to subscribe!
Besides all the great and thorough information, I really appreciate how chill, unpretentious, and not-obnoxious you are. You present in a friendly, engaging manner, and we look forward to your other videos.
Probably the best compliment I have received so far! Thank you for watching. We are happy to hear you enjoyed it! We have new videos coming every week so don't forget to subscribe.
Just started hiking in powel river BC (gateway to Alaska). throwing a compostible paper, drawing arrows in the dirt….one turn away from getting lost…..is how i operated. 5 hikes per week, in bear, cougar, wolf dense areas. Then in limbo btwn Gaia vs All Trails vs All Trails Pro with minimal patience for videos that DONTGETTOTHE Point. Yours was refreshing. targeted. comprehensive in domains selected with an excellent summary that made my choice crystal clear. to others reading this…..”No i dont know the video maker and im not paid”. this is a straight up 👍. Subscribed!!🙃🙃
Woah. How can it show you location in real time on map while offline? I figured internet was required for that. That is really cool and makes it more than worth it.
I believe the app works through a satelitte GPS as well rather than just internet/cell service and that's why it works! It really does make it more than worth it! Thanks for watching Dalton and commenting Dalton!
Great set of videos on Alltrails you guys! I totally love this app ... especially for research and planning purposes. One thing you did not mention ... that I find most useful ... is the ability to make my own maps and then download them to my handheld. This is especially valuable if you want to modify the route Alltrails presents you ... or better yet add on to it. You can even have a multiple of trails in a specific geographic area. Hopefully you use this ... if not it is always fun to teach the teacher. That said ... I think Alltrails is totally worth to $15 to $30 you spend on it a year. It is my most useful app!!! Happy trails to ya!!!
Thanks so much for watching! And thank you for the tip and thoughts! We will most likely make another video outlining the things that we have missed through these 2 videos because we know they aren't perfect. We definitely believe it is worth it too as long as you use it! Haha! Thanks again though!
Thank you very much. Like the idea of the life line. I just bought it this weekend for half off. So glad I did. Your video was great. Have a nice night.
You are welcome. Thank you for watching! We are glad it was helpful. The pro version is definitely worth it. We absolutely love it! We will be doing more videos going into more depth on some of the features and also looking at other apps so make sure you subscribe so you don't miss out on new videos!
@@JourneyMore thanks for replying. I’ll keep an eye out for that. My Husband and I hike every weekend. During the week I go alone and I’m awful trying read a map. I’m hoping this will help me.
Hello. I was on my last day of the trial period last night, found your video because I was trying to find the best app to buy for an extended period, like 50 years or so lol. You convinced me to get it and I'm happy I did. Used the lifeline to send messages to the lady at home so she won't worry anymore. I turned my phone to airplane mode after starting the trip and it was a absolute breeze at the trail. Was hiking at Palos Verdes so had plenty of signal but wanted to test it out in a safe place. Hiked for about 90 minutes, used only 10 percent of phone. Those two points are well worth the price. I want to get the 3 year version now so I can save a year. Thanks for your help!!!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching! We plan to do more videos diving into more of these features to really explain. If you have any suggestions just let us know!
For basically $40 a year, it paid for itself with one Jeep trip to Colorado for me and my son. Service is spotty at 13k. Edit: and I didn't even know what some of the features did till I watched this. Thanks!
We agree. Thank you for watching and subcribing, we really appreciate it and look forward to hearing more from you! Glad we could be helpful! There is definitely a lot to it!
One thing I having been able to figure out that I'd like to see - I have a gpx file from a trail race I am going to run that strings together several trails. I want to download into Alltrails but cant figure out how to do it, or if it is even possible at all. The FAQ on the Alltrails site was not helpful on this question.
Thanks for the video, do you also have 3 D feature preview? or I missed it, I like to see if in 3D I can see the elevation variation on route progress....?
You're welcome! We don't have a video going over the 3D. We will definitely keep it in mind though and maybe make one for the future! We aren't exactly sure if you can. We will keep you updated if we find out!
Thank you for watching! I have researched through the app I don't believe there is a way to download a full state map! It is only trail by trail. If I find anything different I will be sure to let you know!
At least from our experience and research we do not believe so. It does give you the lifeline option which will alert you when the friend reaches their destination or if they don't reach it by the time they specify. But we don't believe it will allow you to see where friends are on the trail map. We hope that was helpful!
It definitely is a great resource to help people not get lost and find their way if they do! Thanks for watching! We hope you will subscribe and check out some of our other content!😊
@@JourneyMore im planning a 3 day trip in the middle of Idaho, with a very rough trail so it'll make me feel much safer with the offline GPS. Does it work pretty well? I was testing it earlier in my house with airplane mode on, and it followed me as I turned. Pretty cool.
Nice that sounds like a lot of fun! It does work very well! We have used it numerous times on hikes ranging from 3-15 miles. I would recommend opening the app to the map before you start and leave it open. Do not close out the app! The reason is if you don't have service and try to open the app most of the time it won't load the trails and maps. So just open it while you have service and keep it open!
I am not 100% sure so if you find anything different let me know! With the pro version you can download maps. When doing that you need the app open. But if you are using the map within the app the issue would be your phones ability to pick up service/satellite. Sometimes in remote areas it can't pick it up well and will have trouble opening the app and pulling up the maps. So just in case, we recommend opening the app, pulling up the map and leaving it open while you have good service! I hope that helps!
I wasted 7:40 minutes waiting for him to skip past any route planning/exporting capabilities in the pro?? So far this app seems to be for soccer moms and unadventurous sheep who wont plot their own trail and not for "avid" outdoor anyone...?

@@JourneyMore LOL me too. Haha
Great presentation the best I have found. You explained slowly and in great detail which I could understand. Thank you so much
Thanks James! I really appreciate it. I’m glad it was helpful to you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!😁

Excellent video. I still would like to learn more about the recording function. Thank you for a great video!
Thank you for watching! Glad it was helpful! We will put it down to do some more in depth videos of specific features!
One thing I having been able to figure out that I'd like to see - I have a gpx file from a trail race I am going to run that strings together several trails. I want to download into Alltrails but cant figure out how to do it, or if it is even possible at all. The FAQ on the Alltrails site was not helpful on this question.
That's an interesting thought. We will look into it and make a video over it! Thank you for the suggestion! Thanks for watching!
I would like to download the gpx file from the app.
I don't have a record button. I have a navigate button instead and that doesn't offer any options for lifeline...
Thanks, helpful review!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video, do you also have 3 D feature preview? or I missed it, I like to see if in 3D I can see the elevation variation on route progress....?

Is there a way to download like a state map ? It's only showing me a small area I can save. I have the pro as well
Thank you for watching! I have researched through the app I don't believe there is a way to download a full state map! It is only trail by trail. If I find anything different I will be sure to let you know!
Does the Pro App allow hikers to tract location of their friends nearby
At least from our experience and research we do not believe so. It does give you the lifeline option which will alert you when the friend reaches their destination or if they don't reach it by the time they specify. But we don't believe it will allow you to see where friends are on the trail map. We hope that was helpful!
Can I use my earphone to hear where I am going instead of keep watching my phone all the time?
I don't believe it works like a gps where it audibly tells you where you are going. Have you tried it before?
If only Geraldine largay had this 🙏🏾
It definitely is a great resource to help people not get lost and find their way if they do!
Thanks for watching! We hope you will subscribe and check out some of our other content!😊
So what your saying is, their is no reason to have lost service when they can still track where you are.
Hmm, got it
Lol good point. I'm assuming that's coming strictly from GPS? But on normal Google maps you have to be online
if my map on all trails is in reverse, will the blue dot showing my location go to MY start point?
Yes it will. Thanks for watching!
*cheese and gravel*
Could just use a separate free app for light pollution.
Haha I guess you could! There may be some others too! We enjoy the all in one though!😁
I downloaded the apk for free. Lifetime member lmao.
Nice! It really is an awesome app whether you have the free or pro. Thank you for watching Darion!
