✓ AT Section Hike EssentialUsing this app exclusively, I’ve now section hiked three states on the Appalachian trail. During planning, it’s helped me visualize every single day - down to the minute, mileage, elevation and water stop. When I’ve gone off-trail, it’s pointed me in the right direction, and when I’m tired it’s been my motivation, knowing exactly how many miles there are to the next waypoint. It’s also kept me safe because I know exactly where water, shelter, and towns are, and it’s reliable as ever. I even had momentary issues with the app, and the creator himself was writing me, making updates, and genuinely wanted to help. I carry a back-up map of course, but this app is truly all you need to get out and hike..Version: 7.0.4
✓ Excellent App. Brilliant supportSupport sorted my login to the web app. Quickly and effectively..Version: 11.0.2
✓ Great Asset on the TrailI'm a former troglodyte and a late adopter of technology. I've loved maps since I was a child, and I know how to read a map and use a compass. (I spent a dozen years in the Coast Guard and half of my career was at sea. I was a Quartermaster - I really know how to navigate with a map.) But I rode to the trailhead in a horseless carriage, and I'm carrying a pack made from nylon, not cotton. Rejecting technology on principle is silly. I'm using the app to hike sections of the PCT in Washington as time allows. This app is awesome! I love the ability to look at the elevation profile between two points along the trail. That makes planning my day's route much simpler. I also love the comments. It's nice to know that someone passing a seasonal spring two days ago was able to get water if that's a spring I'm hoping to get water from myself, and it's nice reading about where there are good hammock sites. I have another app on my phone that allows me to download the USGS 7.5 maps. The two together are an excellent combination. Why four stars instead of five? If the app showed the topo lines in the background and let me "flip flop" it so it's set up for southbound travel, I'd give it five stars..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Good productI bought John Muir Trail guide but fires caused permit cancellation and then I bought Wonderland Trail guide but haven’t started that trip yet. But in trying to figure out how to use the app (which for the most part is very straightforward) I couldn’t figure out how to switch the map type for a trail. Spent a long time looking at tutorials and FAQ but the answer I found didn’t match my app. Finally sent an email to support and was very, very pleased with the super prompt response. Really good product, if you have enough battery power I’m sure it would be a fantastic resource on the trail..Version: 10.2.3
✓ AT Thru-Hike (2015)I thru-hiked the AT in 2015 which turned out to be the most amazing experience of my life and I did it with the Guthook App. I cannot recommend it enough for anyone planning to thru, section, or simply car camp the Appalachian trail. In my opinion, this goes on the list of "Don't leave home without it." The AT, at least when I hiked it, was 2,189.2 miles from Springer to Katahdin. Frankly, if you get lost on the AT, you probably don't belong there. So the value of the Guthook App isn't navigation. The reasons I found it to be most useful was to alert me to the elevation that was ahead, distance to shelters and water sources, and road crossings that would take me into trail towns to resupply. I used the Guthook App daily, but I also took along the AWOL AT Guide. I used this to a lesser extent, but I found it equally important. The AWOL guide is an invaluable resource for services along the trail (e.g., shuttles) and in trail towns (e.g., Post Office hours, lodging, etc.) I hope this helps and best wishes on your hike. "Today I begin a new trail in my life. A fresh start. A new beginning. Today I step off the rock at Springer to be transformed because I trust that it is only impossible dreams of this magnitude that will give birth to the type of change I covet." (April 1, 2015) Tabasco.Version: 6.3.3
✓ Must have! + great customer serviceThere’s just a lot to say about this brilliant app. I don’t even know where to begin. It’s proven itself so useful that it’s become indispensable. When you’re out there, you need this app, it is a must have. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 There also isn’t much I can say that hasn’t already been said. My favorite thing about it is that you can literally gauge and predict (per your own judgement and risk) water flow, by reading comments left by people who are ahead of you. My least favorite thing is reading comments left by people who had bad experiences and it scares me 😩😆 User interface could use some improvement. Though it’s already improved quite a bit since I used it in 2019. Not bad where it’s at now. Shout out to team to keep up the good work 💪🏼 I needed some help today and their customer service is just 👌🏼🥰.Version: 10.2.1
✓ Only works if you use it.On 9-2-21 I stated a 7 day hike of the Big Seki in the Sequoia National Park. The first day and a half the hike is on a smaller trail where I was using a different app. Mid way through the second day the trail I was on merged with the JMT and PCT. I met a thru hiker (NeonTide) who said I should be using Guthook. It was at that moment I remembered I not only had Guthook on my phone but the JMT / PCT were downloaded. Once I started using Guthook it made a huge difference in my hiking game. Not having to guess where reliable sources were or tent sites was a game changer..Version: 10.2.3
✓ Must have thru-hikers’ toolFantastic app that really helps plan your hike, on and off trail! Where’s my next water source? How far until the next campsites, town, etc? Waypoint comments left by hikers ahead of you on trail are key. And you can create your own waypoints and private notes. Fantastic customer service! I encountered a small bug and notified support. They followed up with me quickly. Unfortunately, the issue couldn’t be corrected right away, but it was addressed in the following software update a few weeks later and they reached out to me to make sure I was aware that they had corrected my issue. I was shocked! Highly recommend!.Version: 11.0.6
✓ Great app but still room for improvementLet me start by saying this app will get you through the entire AT without trouble. The only thing I would change would be to add the ability to create custom waypoints to save on your adventure. This is mostly because there were lots of camping and water supplies we came across that were not listed that will could be hard to find again when trying to go back and visit favorite spots on the trail. Another instance I could see it helping would be when you come across areas that are reroutes around bridge washouts or Bees nests. Even without this ability, this is still very much worth the cost of the maps..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Guthook Pinhoti Trail appRyan and all at Atlas Guides, Folks had been daily asking me for a map of our trail complex here on Flagg Mountain. Flagg is the southern terminus of the Pinhoti Trail, the beginning of the Appalachian Mountain Range, a very popular place for day hikers and backpackers here in Alabama. As a member of the Alabama Hiking Trail Society, I serve as the official caretaker here for the Alabama Forestry Commission. Until your app became available, I had no way of helping folks hike the mountain. But that's all changed now, thanks to the Guthook Atlas Guides Pinhoti Trail app! Folks can quickly review our loop trails, choose how they'd like to spend a few hours--or a weekend. You've literally put us on the map, Ryan; thanks!.Version: 8.0.5
✓ Maps in Asia!I used the app for the Camino del norte in Spain and was overall great. I am currently in India and realized there were no maps in Asia. It would be such a great update!.Version: 12.0.7
✓ Old man, short legs and adrenalineBest app ever for hiking newbie to professional everyone has it on the trails. Download before leaving.Version: 8.0.5
✓ All You Need To Hike The ATI retired on 31DEC20 and I started hiking the AT on 14FEB21. In preparation for the hike I loaded my phone with Guthook, All Trails and Garmin Earthmate (synch’d to phone). I am two months and 600 miles into the trail. Of the thee apps I have on my phone Guthook far and away is the most helpful. The app is so well designed that it is easy to use with very little familiarization. The distances are trail distances and not crow flies distances, the elevation profile view lets you know what will be hard and what will be easy. The app shows you all options for shelters, towns, hostels, water sources and much, much more. The customer service is fast and responsive if you have a question. You will never regret buying the Guthook app if you plan to hike the AT. Snorezilla, 2021 NOBO Thru Hiker.Version: 10.1
✓ The best navigation app I have usedI walked Wainwright’s famous Coast to Coast walk in May 2019. I had all the traditional navigation aids such as a compass and multiple maps. I also had an expensive hand held GPS fully loaded with waypoints. To be honest I still got lost quite a few times in the first week of my walk. I also found the guides and maps a little unclear at times. Then I started to use the Guthook app that I had purchased prior to my walk and forgot I had it on my phone. Well, I found it to a game changer for me. With my phone in flight mode to save battery, I found the Guthook app foolproof and totally reliable. When I was uncertain of my trail I would open the app and see exactly where I was in relation to the trail. In the middle of bogs and un-signposted fields the locator on the app never failed me once and always enabled me to re-find the trail, within a metre. I highly recommend this app and look forward to my next adventure with Guthook!.Version: 8.1.10
✓ The Best!Anything I can do to get this app a 5-star review is worth my time. Everything from the ground up, from the original idea to how well it works on trail is life-changing on the trail and even in the planning stages. I come from 25 years of thru-hiking experience. My hiking days began with National Geographic articles, carrying guide books on trail, and then Halfmile’s maps were a constant companion on the PCT, until the Colorado Trail in 2015. That was my first Guthook experience and it was incredible. In an instant, I was able to see exactly where I was on trail, where the water was or wasn’t, and even the best places in towns in more or less real time. I like the social aspect somewhat, more for the information I really need. I hope Atlas expands to include more trails- while realizing that lesser known trails are less traveled and the return on investment might not be warranted. But there’s a space on my phone for a Guthook on a thru-hike no matter how how short or long, a thru is a thru- my money and yours is well spent within this app..Version: 10.1.5
✓ My Guide to the AT!Hockey boy here , to tell you about the Appalachian Trail FAR OUT App. It’s been excellent so far on my section hikes from the Amicalola approach trail all the way to Franklin NC at Winding Stair Gap. I love the heads ups from folks using the App about bear activity, the good and the bad about shelters and most importantly water source updates on water availability on the trail. Not to mention all the information on Hostels shuttles and places to resupply and eat at. The only thing I had any issues was Abandoned trails that seldom get traveled don’t appear sometimes on here, that’s why it’s important to have pocket maps so you can identify them and not accidentally go down them , because of a blue blaze thinking it’s a water source. Other than that I am loving this App,!.Version: 12.1
✓ New update is buggyBeen using Guthook the last two years. Amazing app and have faith they will fix the issues. I’m currently finishing my CDT thru and have noticed since the update that it is buggy. Often times my clicks don’t open up waypoints or close the word bubble. I can’t pinpoint the mileage on the red line anymore. You can only know the mileage from waypoints so if someone leaves a comment e.g. “ water cache at 160.4” it can be hard to locate unless there is a nearby waypoint or my gps arrow is close. When in airplane mode you can locate current location in list mode anymore. It just shows a loading circle. I hope these bugs and laggy ness gets fixed before my next long walk. There is nothing like this app and I love it. Maybe my problems are just me being oldschool and resisting change..Version: 8.0
✓ Customer service is top notchWith all the changes this app has gone through, I’ve lost some of my previous purchases. Whenever I need them restored, I contact customer service and they walk me through what I need to do and then they restore them for me. They are quick to respond and problem solve. I’ve gone on several thru hikes with this app and although I know I could do them without it, I’m really glad I don’t have to. Thanks!.Version: 11.0.2
✓ Outstanding AppOutstanding is the word for Guthook! The support team is also beyond question, they were exceptional! I started my (eventually failed) thru hike without Guthook. Everyone that I met on the AT—-both thru and section hikers—had the app! During my first “zero” in a hotel with good WiFi, I purchased and downloaded it. Back on trail, it was a night and day difference. It eliminated so much of the mystery that challenges thru hikers initially! Best resupply, water sources, etc. I still carried my AWOL...and used it at night to conserve battery power...but once on Trail, I referred exclusively to “the Hook”! And the value of the interactive comments from other hikers cannot be discounted! This year, I hope to get back on the AT.... I also find the Guthook a great planning tool..Version: 8.1.10
✓ Mr moany pants.Only criticism at this point would be that many of the town names are often obscured by icons and are a pain to read or decipher..Version: 9.2.13
✓ Lifesaver!What a difference this app makes on a thru hike! Although it does take away a bit of the spontaneous adventure out of a hike, it’s more than necessary for the modern interpretation of a thru hike. Being able to plan out your day with accurate up to date information makes it possible to push all the way until dark and not worry about water or a flat spot to camp. The aspect of a community is also great with the ability to easily add your own input and look back on what previous generations of hikers had to say. You’ll see some sweet hidden gems along the trail because of this! I love the concept for the big trails, and I won’t ever attempt a thru hike without something like it. However, I give 4 stars because there is still a lot of room for improvement. Even in the couple years I’ve had the app they’ve made some good changes, but it still feels a bit awkward navigating through the app on occasion and some features feel a bit lazy. I’m sure as more and more folks start to flood the trails who are used to the constant influence of technology the app will feel pressure to change. Overall it serves the purpose great, and the GPS feature could literally be a life saver. Just don’t get too caught up in the constant updates on mileage..Version: 8.1.8
✓ Hiking the AZTBefore Guthook had developed the AZT trail guide, my husband and I were section hiking it. There were many times we would come to unmarked areas where the trail might head off in various directions or be overgrown and vague. We would inevitably head the wrong direction, note within a mile or so no signage, get out a map and try to figure out where we went wrong. Obviously this led to much backtracking and grumbling. Now I simply pull out my phone at a questionable spot, open the Guthook map, walk ten or so feet one direction or other and visually see my Guthook marker moving on or away from the trail. It is a lifesaver in many ways! Thanks Guthook crew for making life on the trail a great adventure without the grumbling!.Version: 8.1.10
✓ Appalachian TrailUsed the Guthook app while hiking the AT in 2017 and was extremely satisfied with it. Everything in one easy to use accessible package, worked well on my iPhone. The people at Guthook continued to update and improve on the app as I used it. Bugs were addressed and fixed quickly, waypoints, resupply, water sources were at the location the app said they would be. Would recommend, and have recommended this app to anyone thinking about hiking or section hiking the AT. My satisfaction and trust in the people at Guthook has me returning for an app to take on the Arizona Trail and I hope an app for the PNT is released very soon. NNoHurry.Version: 7.0.3
✓ Awesome Waypoint Feature UpdateGuthook has been my go-to app for AT hiking since day one!!! I even carry the printed guide as backup for the phone. I opened the app for the first time in a while for my next hike and was very pleased to see such a useful feature update in an already amazing app. The only thing I would ask for is it would be nice to be able to display distances between waypoints with the starting waypoint set to zero. See, I use routes to plan the section and waypoints to break the section up into daily goals. It would be very useful to surface data on my progress through the day. I know I could create a whole new route for each day of the hike but this makes it more difficult to see the big picture of overall progress. It would be great to see the overall section broken down into easy to view daily goals in a similar way as the full route. Kinda like, mini or, sub-routes..Version: 8.1.10
✓ InvaluableNot that I’ve tried others (other than free trials); but this app is perfect. Easy, not overloaded with useless stuff; can be fully used in airplane mode (huge). It tells me everything I NEED to know, and nothing I don’t. I started section hiking the AT in 2018 from Springer (I pick up each year where I off). Started with paper mile markers; earthy but “how far is dependable water” is not answered there. Bought this app the next year and never looked back..Version: 11.1.5
✓ Excellent functionality and easy to useVery nicely built app. Recommended.Version: 8.1.7
✓ Great technical supportI created a problem for myself with multiple accounts. Some helpful bloke called Kevin guided me with emailed instructions on how to fix this so I had access to prior purchases..Version: 11.1.0
✓ Modern hiker mustGuthook is the most popular trail navigate app on the Appalachian Trail, as far as I can see. It works well for knowing shelter, campsite, water supply, wayside, view, and road locations. The public comment section of these locations keeps hikers updated on conditions, including water availability, bear sightings, trail conditions, etc. If one deviates from the trail, Guthook quickly shows where the mistake was made and how to get back on the trail. Since Guthook can be run in Airplane Mode, battery usage is optimized. My brother and I alternated days running it on our phones, which further helped with battery use efficiency. Overall I recommend using Guthook..Version: 8.1.8
✓ Great hiking AppGuthook/FarOut is amazing App and a must have for any of the trail it covers. Makes it so much easier to plan for camping spots and water refills. You can find the elevation gain for each trip/day. You always know exactly where you are and how far to camp or water. And if by just you accidentally get off the trail you can find the direction back to the trail. It great, but I feel the latest update made it more difficult to filter the waypoints when just looking for water or campsite..Version: 11
✓ Australian HikerI used this app on the Bibbulmun Track in Western Australian in 2018. Well worth the money and can’t recommend it enough..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Valuable instrumentGuthook proved to be a very valuable application on the long trail in Vermont. It is particularly useful in identifying water spots, distances to shelters, and trail highlights such as overlooks. It was also useful four identify your position on the trail, although here is its weakest point. Your location on the trail is only approximate, so that if the trail is not blazed well Guthook can at best only approximate where are you are in relation to the trail. If you are confused, then, it is up to you to put down your pack and walk back-and-forth until once again you can find the trail. This happened to me twice on my last 2-day hike, and it was very frustrating. I understand it is a function of the relative lack of precision of the GPS signal. I also understand that I would’ve been a lot worse off had I not had Guthook!.Version: 10.1.5
✓ Greatest hiking app everCan’t say enough good about this app, it lets you know where you are, pending elevation and how far you are from that shelter or campsite you’ve been hiking to all day. Has every thing a hiker needs to know at fingertip, shelters, hostels, water, road crossings ( where you can schedule a shuttle to come get you and take you to the hostel or town). I love this app, it’s such a psychological boost to know how close or even far you are from your destination . It works on airplane mode so your phone isn’t drained and new trails are added all the time. Highly recommend this app for any hiker!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Good app with bad nameI’ve used this app for my hikes for 2 1/2 years. I love it. It’s a great guide, works without cell service and fellow hikers are constantly updating! But o hate the name & logo change. The original GutHook logo was a better symbol of what the app is. Go back to it! The new logo looks like it ought to be a childrens music app! I never understand the name GutHook but at least it was catchy. Far out is just dumb! If you can come up with an IMPROVEMENT don’t change what you have. Far Out I’d definitely NOT an improvement. Go back to GutHook.Version: 11.1.0
✓ BibullmunSaved our legs a lot of walking as we missed a couple of markers..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Fantastic navigation toolAfter watching my friends us FarOut on the JMT I bought and used it on the 500 mile Camino Frances. What a fantastic tool to not only keep us on the right trail but to give us information on resources ahead of us and the mileage to everything we needed. The elevation map was super helpful and the ability to switch back and forth between map views was really helpful. No doubt I’ll use this app for all future backpacking and long distance walking!.Version: 11.1.4
✓ Water SeekerI hiked 1,000 miles of the AT earlier this year and got Guthook about halfway through. The comments are what really make the app so useful. Commenters will tell you where common water stashes are, the recent state of springs, and small shops near road crossings that aren't listed anywhere else. There were a few times when water was hard to come by and having a heads up that the next 3 listed water sources were dry really helped me to know when I needed to carry extra water or when I could expect to fill up at camp. Great tool..Version: 7.0.2
✓ Great Maps, Great Customer SupportThe maps are very helpful. Waypoints are great. Hadn’t used a map I’d bought since they consolidated all the separate apps, support (Tyler specifically) helped make a quick transition to restore a 4 year old purchase. Wasn’t expecting a response, but they had it up and running in less than a day on a long weekend..Version: 10.2.3
✓ What path !Excellent app in the snow- JMT this July 2019 - trails vanished ....loads of snow- was without app for first 6 days NOBO and depended on fellow hikers who had it to stay on track. Downloaded at resupply in onion valley and used for the test. 5 stars- would be very lost without it xxxx now happily finished in Yosemite -.Version: 8.1.8
✓ Tyler Lau is the bomb!I have happily used Guthook guides for about 6 years but had never logged into account on my phone as I always got an error message. With a 500 mile sobo coming up next week I wanted to be able to post comments but needed to log in to do so (was using the old app?) Anyway I got Tyler as my support last night and then following through this morning. He was so patient, thorough and gave systematic and explicit directions, trying all possibilities to solve the issues with not one but two devices. I as a not so savvy tech person needed and SO appreciated his help and perseverance. He should get a raise and be celebrated..Version: 10.2.1
✓ Five stars when....When Guthook follows the footsteps of GAIA and WorkOutDoors and interfaces with Apple Watch I will give you five stars. I currently pull my iPhone out of a waterproof bag and check my location and directions when at a questionable fork in the road or on a primitive trail. But it would be fantastic to roll my wrist and see a customizable display that I could see current location on a map, time, speed, altitude and distance to destination on a dashboard. Then be able to slide to the left or down to see more customizable displays. Also what do I have to do to add photo to the trail. It would be sweet if we could add a picture of the bridge being out, or dogs attacking to warn our fellow hikers. There may be a way but it hasn’t worked for me..Version: 10.0.2
✓ JMTExcellent, would be even greater if the campsites that have names (many) were named. Very useful app and popular on the trail! Thanks! Wendy from ictoris, BC Canada.Version: 7.0.5
✓ Excellent app with bugsThis is a brilliant app, but there are a few annoying bugs. Saved routes that are deleted randomly come back and never stay deleted. As a planner and a section hiker after I complete a saved route not being able to delete is a bit of a pain. Otherwise really great app and being able to see other hikers comments about a location or spring is exceedingly helpful. Definitely worth the purchase, but wish the deleting routes issue would be resolved. Only reason for not 5 stars honestly..Version: 7.0.5
✓ Buggy & zero responsibility takenIPhone users (at least on the Pacific Crest Trail right now) have been having a terrible time FOR OVER A MONTH trying to use their maps. FarOut continues to blame an Apple update, but no other map application is having this problem except them. It seems to only happen if I attempt to look for cell phone service, get none, and the app is running in the background. Feels like they aren’t fetching data in a standard way if an update only broke their map (nor other map apps)..Version: 12.0.7
✓ Must have for hikersSingle best resource for multi-day and thru hikes. Worth the price.Version: 11.5.4
✓ Excellent App, Customer Service, Tech Support!I thru hiked the PCT in 2017 and at the time, used Halfmile and Guthook. I used Guthook again last year in 2021 and was planning to use it again this year in 2022, when one day, it no longer showed my purchase PCT map set. Tyler Lau at Far Out Guides was so quick to respond and after sending in my purchase receipt, he reinstalled the maps to my account on the same day. He also sent easy to follow instructions on how to refresh the app so that I could see the reinstalled maps. Thanks so much, Tyler and Far Out Guides!.Version: 11.0.5
✓ Used for BibbulmunI am loving this App. Only used for the Bibbulmun so far. It’s been very helpful. Only down side is distances seem to be a bit off. When you’re hiking with a 15+ kg back back the diifference between 20 and 24km can feel like A LOT.Version: 12.0.7
✓ Well cared forI was in the middle of absolutely no phone cover and I started to have some glitches on my app. When I came into range I shot off a quick message but didn’t expect much in return. Instead what I got was an immediate list of fixes - my issue user error as I’d turned off auto updates so the updated version hadn’t downloaded. All was good again by the next hill I climbed. Incredible customer service by a team who cared that I was out there and even followed up to check on me..Version: 10.2.3
✓ Great Price for Peace of MindGuthook is the navigation aid for hikers. I was glad to have it doing my recent hike on the Appalachian Trail. The trail is well marked, but there are time when I needed reassurance that I hadn’t stepped off, or that I was going in the right direction. The elevation profiles were great tools to help me plan for the big pushes up and down the mountains. In the Wind River Range, it was a lifesaver as large sections of the trails are unmarked. Guthook saved me several times after I had veered away from the path. Thanks for this app!.Version: 10.1.5
✓ Tried and TrustedI hiked the PCT in 2018 and the TRT in 2019 using Far Out Guides (Guthook back then) and it is by-far the most updated and reliable way to navigate on long trails. Anything from water reports to what towns to resupply in, all the info you need is here. Part of this app staying updated to due to the user comments, which have proved to be an excellent source of updates and valuable info for your long hike. The information provided by users not only keeps you informed, but also helps users in the future and gives a snapshot of what changes from year-to-year on a trail. I also want to highlight the customer support teams quick reply’s and clear instructions. I had a problem downloading a previous purchase from a few years ago and was able to get quick support to get access to that trail again..Version: 11.0.2
✓ Developers lack of responseThe developer seems too only respond to the positive reviews.... waiting for their response from Tim on Dec 22nd. If you read a few reviews you’ll notice quickly that the developer for the most part simply ignores the critical reviews that point out quite explicit where this app needs updating, fixing and more developer attention. It seems obvious that their placing all their attention on simply selling maps instead of offering a quality product. Save your money for now until the developer gets their act together. There’s many other more worth while places to purchase than here. Ralph, New Jersey.Version: 8.1.10
✓ Helpful InformationWe loved the Guthook app when we through hiked the PCT in 2018. The GPS (offline) capability got us back on trail a couple of times and comments on water sources and camp sites were very useful. I look at it from time to time when I dream about hiking the PCT again. We will definitely use it for our planned hikes in NZ and Aus..Version: 9.2.13
✓ Needs improvement for the Camino.This was the app I used the most while doing the Camino Frances. Overall I like how you can find your location and distance to the next town. It is missing the most direct route between Tricastela and Sarria. It shows a couple of hostels on the route but not the trail. Other apps provide more info on albergues/hostels. I encountered a couple of glitches in the app and the support team was excellent. With some updates on the Camino Frances this will be a five star app..Version: 8.1.10
✓ An absolute MUST fir the hikerFirst time I have ever paid for an app and I have not been disappointed. So easy to use and so reliable- this app has saved me countless kilometres in going “off track” to join up with the track in the distance- adds some fun to the hiking experience. I would encourage all hikers of any level of experience to invest in Guthook.Version: 10.2.3
✓ Southdowns walkFound this app very helpful, love the GPS location finder really helped us find places off the way and get back on track easy to use good points of interest as well.Version: 8.1.6
✓ Guthooks saved me from the Bears!!I’ve loved the app for years. Download the app, buy your favorite trails maps and keep them forever! Their customer service is truly excellent! Guthooks is easy to use and has incredible amounts of truly valuable information for the hiker and backpacker. Mileage, elevation, distance between waypoints like water sources and campsites all help in planning my trip. One source of information that surprised me with its tremendous value was the user comments. While planning a recent trip, I had a choice of campsites, and while reading the user comments on each, I found multiple comments from the week before regarding the high level of aggressive Bear activity around one. So I chose the other and slept well!.Version: 10.0.6
✓ Works greatGuthook was recommended by so many legitimate hikers that I wasn’t too worried about the functional side of it. I was concerned that it might be more than I need or want which it definitely is. (But not in a bad way) I don’t need to post or check in. I have low vision and can no longer count on my vision to navigate correctly. Since a compass and map don’t work well for me anymore I bought and downloaded the Maine trails and it works like a champ. Having an accurate GPS location and with the mileage is awesome. I imagine sighted people could use this app too. Lol.Version: 10.2.5
✓ Best App for Southern Sierra and JMTI really was glad I had this App for my 15 day PCT/JMT hike. Our itinerary had our campsites located by mile number on the PCT. This was very easy to find on the App. I initially had some difficulty downloading the App. Tyler Lau, Atlas Guides customer service, helped me. Then while I was on the trip I had trouble with some of the functions. On my one zero day with Internet access, Tyler Lau helped me again, responding quickly to my request knowing that I was going back on the trail. Evidently there was an IOS glitch that has now been fixed. I used the App everyday to find our campsite, water sources & just to make sure I was on the correct route. I also used it exiting over Kearsarge Pass. I highly recommend this App. And, most importantly, it has the BEST customer service & help. Thank you!.Version: 10.2.2
