what problem does this app solve? it seems to be designed with the following use case in mind: you're traveling with somebody you don't like, staying in a hotel, and you want to get away from him or her for a few days. you search for 'hikes near me' and look for something appealing. for that it would work well, as long as you use a real trail app to do the hiking. wikiloc sucks so bad for actually using on your phone while you are hiking. drains your battery. almost unusable.

Once great, now ... meh. A couple of years ago, it was easy to find trails and just get started hiking. I contributed quite a few myself. I took a break from using the app and now I discovered that I have to pay to get gps tracking on trails. I guess Wikiloc had to choose some kind of revenue model. I just wish it wasn't one that drew me the app in the first place.

Hi, thanks for your comment! You can download all trails from the web for free. You can also download offline maps, follow your own trails and ORG profiles' trails for free from the App. The small contribution is for the technologic infrastructure and is optional.

Amazing app! It helps a ton to check cool trails and also, record for others to follow yours! However, lately it's been calculating vertical gain and loss very inaccurately. Perhaps support could chime in here. My latest trail says I had 3.3 km in vertical gain. This is impossible obviously. So I'm sure it's got some bug in there that needs to be fixed. Also, seems there is an issue with reporting your trail buddies and like others, it eats my battery like crazy in spite of having closed apps. Edited

Took me a long time to figure out how to upgrade to Premium, but it turned out to be a problem with Google Play, not with the app itself. There are many trails here and I was able to piece together the Camino Augusta, which runs from Gibraltar to Seville. Would be nice if it was easier to connect short hikes into longer ones, but this works. The user interface isn't great. I'll probably have to export the GPX files to something else in order to actually navigate a trail Edited

I have used many mapping programs for many years. The value of this app is the sharing of trips. But I find the app's user interface, both on a phone and the web version on a PC, to be cumbersome at best. I use this app to find a hike, then I export the GPX file that describes that hike to another app that is much better for navigation. Also, when in navigation mode, this app rapidly drains the phone's battery.
