Decent people don’t take crowd sourced data and then start charging a ridiculous monthly fee. This isn’t Netflix, it’s just an app. Let me know when you come to your senses.
Free version only allows a section of trails to be viewable with latest update. App is now focused on inconveniencing people so that they purchase their monthly subscription. I will no longer recommend this app and will be switching to a competitor.
This was a great app, built on the back of user input. Pinkbike got greedy and now charge an exorbitant monthly fee, leveraging the work of all the users that made it great. It’s now useless.
This app is prone to accumulating bugs with updates. Delete and reinstall a clean copy to sort things out. Still to this day the best app for finding reliable bike trails. Trail Rating system needs work. The standards are up to the local trail manager. Too often I ride blues that are rugged and burly or blacks that are literally unrideable and I’m a good rider. Check trail comments before you ride! Frequently you will see notes on conditions by other riders.
Now I have to pay for a app that worked just fine before yeah I’ll be using an alternative
I used trailsfork when it was all free and it was great for mountain biking. When they added the paid version i understood that they need to make money but when I looked at the skiing or hiking trails there were barely any. This app is only worth it if they add more skiing and hiking trails
My ride plans won’t sync What a waste of time
New map overlays are awesome! I’m Very happy I got in on the reduced subscription offering. Looking forward to more improvements. Landscape on iPad needed. Thanks
Wow do I look like an idiot! I was just telling a friend how awesome this app was. I was letting him know about all the great features and how I prefer this app over all the others. I open the app and… nothing. Now I have to subscribe too see the trails. I often used it to check off trails to know I’ve completed them. I immediately closed the app and will never open it or suggest it to a friend again.
I am a Dirtbiker and this app lies about which trails have motorized access. I thought it was just a few mistakes but it is not. I have already found 15 trails mislabeled. If your a Dirtbiker then don’t download this application. If you are a mountain biker, don’t be upset ant motorcycles on trails mislabeled!
