New Update Pay Wall
The new update makes the app useless to people who don’t pay. I can’t look at trails or location without needing to pay. Used to love this app especially when trying to discover new trails but I can even look a trails rating without having “TrailForks Pro” shoved down my throat.
Great app, not compatible with Apple Watch
Love using it, would be nice if you could interface with an Apple Watch.
Hot Garbage
Ever since outside came on board I’ve been having nothing but problems. Wish there was some competition
What happened!!???
Discover feature doesn’t work anymore. Also when I try to show an area on the map it keeps zooming back to my current location. Fix it !!!!
No watch version
Love the maps and function, but lack of Apple Watch development is forcing me to go elsewhere.
Getting worse
The data has always been spotty but with more info being gated less people contribute. No longer worth the rough UI if it can be avoided
Woke Hypocrisy at it’s Finest
My favorite thing ever about Outside Mag and everything they own is showcased with this app. Let’s preach up and down our platforms about how outdoor sports need to be made more accessible to everyone and more affordable to the less fortunate and let’s make everyone who enjoys outdoor sports feel guilty for not being a minority BUT!!!!!…..oh you need to pay us a subscription to read about it and also pay us a subscription to find where you are on a map in the woods. Absolute clowns, these people.
Skeezy subscriptions
Happy to take your money but can’t even provide a support contact email. Account issues? Too bad!
Barely functional
Good luck doing anything besides recording a ride. The app is way overloaded with functions that do not work. You will spend hours on the simplest tasks to no avail, like cropping your avatar as it only displays the top left 16th of whatever photo you choose regardless of size, while the crop box stays frozen in time. Uploading trail photos is a nightmare as the app randomizes the photo information despite your input, and correcting it is nearly impossible. Forgetting to stop a ‘public’ recording will leave a track directly to your house, and when you crop that part out for privacy, it will reappear the next time you open the app, so you must delete the entire recording. Regardless of your chosen region, when you click discover, the app will display trails that are thousands of miles away, and you cannot even narrow it down to your state. I could go on and on as I have spent countless hours over the past few years trying to get the hang this super janky software. My IQ is not low. Sorry trailforks, I don’t think people are looking for a brain aneurism in exchange for a mountain biking app. I have contributed a lot to trailforks btw, and it’s been a painstakingly slow or unsuccessful process. Our time is too valuable to be wasted on this dysfunctional software. Trim the fat, and simplify the process trailforks, it’s that bad. I am guessing the people claiming trailforks as a must have are not contributors or trail builders.
Region
I see potential in this app, but when ever I try to select the area that I live it, it sets me in British Columbia, which is not my area. And when I do go to my area the Go Pro button pops up. What am I doing wrong?
