I loved Trailforks and used it anytime I went mtn biking. They’ve changed it so that all the info uploaded by users now costs money to access. Another good app gone bad.
I just got the new update and the app is free again on your local area. Can’t copare it with MTB project. Trailforks is the way to go. I hope they can keep it free. Some of us can’t pay $3 a month.
Really lame that they downgraded the app so that you have to pay to get all of the features that you already had before. -1/10 stars.
Latest update created 100% paywall. There is no free or paid version based on this update, only paid. Not sure if this was intended. The previous version build allowed a subset of trails within a single region to be viewable, but not on this one. This is good app in general. However, I do not recommend to download until a subset of trails in a region are viewable again for free.
It used to be free. Worthless now.
I never write reviews, but they ruined this one and I must say something in the hopes that they will revert this application to it’s former self. I used to use this for biking and hiking all the time, then one day I go to use it in a ride and everything is now behind a pay wall. No warning or communication that this change was imminent that I ever saw. Totally screwed me for the ride.
This was my go to Mtb app and now it’s toast? I agree with the bulk of the disheartened—yes it cost money to make an app, but if you’re going to go “pro” alert your users and add features that make it worth the spend! Why would i pay a price for what I what i previously got for free—hello PB, are you listening to your users? Your ratings are tanking!! Off to dicker around on Mtb project!
They just made it a subscription service. Not worth downloading unless you wanna pay 3 bucks a month. Try MTB project.
It’s not worth paying for this app. It was great before the update that made you buy a subscription. Now the free version that I used to love only shows me trails in Canada and I live in the US.
Great app. But started to charge. I would have been in for some ads.
