MTB Project for Negative User Reviews
✓ CrapAbsolutely rubbish closest map to uk was Spain deleted app..Version: 2.22
✓ Trending in the wrong directionBeen using the app for years and it’s gone from a great tool to a not-so-useful and unreliable frustrating tool. The old UI was much more intuitive, simple, clean, and more than anything reliable. At this point with every update it’s a new set of issues. Either direction links don’t work, map manipulation doesn’t work, buttons to toggle screens don’t work, trail selection doesn’t work, search doesn’t work, etc. I understand the desire to feature bloat the app with all sorts of nifty things and having to rebuild the app in a way to allow that to happen is no easy feat...but it’s really feeling like there was a lack of QA testing or something. I mean some of the most common basic workflows such as “open app, search for trail, click on trail” do not work reliably. As the months have passed with this new version it’s becoming more and more of a thing where I end up force quitting and restarting over and over and trying to figure out how to get into the screen I want to see by some back door way and it’s super frustrating. Appreciate the work put in and for years of a super useful app/tool but it seems most of my fellow riders, even ones who never used the old version, feel this app is struggling. In an effort to add features 1% of users will even use at all the majority of the user base is frustrated and scratching their heads. The feedback is pretty clear. Hopefully the bugs can get hammered out so this thing can be enjoyed like it was previously..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Great tool, mediocre UX/UIGreat information, great concept. I just wish the app was more functional/intuitive...needs some UX/UI help. Finding trails is pretty easy, the detail and information on them is clear and well structured. But within the map interface, knowing when you’re looking at a trail vs a trail system is confusing. Same with which views allow you to see the “trail list” button, which is key for seeing all trails within a particular map view. Sometimes that appears and sometimes it doesn’t. (I wish I could tell you when it does and doesn’t). Overall I like the app. I just find myself wondering FAR too often, “how do I find X” or “what view am I in? How do I get back to what I was looking at before?” With some UI love it would be 5 stars for sure..Version: 3.2.1
✓ Rubbish for UK ridersNo trails for UK - pointless for 99% of UK users. Avoid.Version: 2.1
✓ MTB for Maps, Strava for ProgressMTB Project app constantly logs out the user. Make sure you have your log in info readily available when you get in the middle of nowhere about to head out on your ride. If you don’t have internet access to retrieve your info, you will not be able to record your ride. The maps are great and the details for the trails is very good. Use this for finding your next location to ride then use another app to track your progress. I’m sticking with Strava for the time being..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Used to be greatBefore the recent updates with the trail cards, the app was excellent. The new cards change if you move the map slightly. I find that a different trail will be listed on the cards than the trail I selected from the map. The elevation profile button is too small to be practical. I can’t actually select it with a glove on anymore. I would love to see a map layer for wilderness areas as well. Hopefully they update the cards to be more useful but for now, I feel like they are counter productive and make navigating the app difficult. I’ll use Trailforks in the meantime..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Downgrade with updatePlease go back and fix all of the things that your new update has changed/deleted. As many other users have complained about, the pin option is now gone and it is impossible to track your ride while riding especially through the elevation section. The swiping at the bottom has become problematic and it is not easy to find your trail segments, and the overall aesthetic is too Busy with the windows of the trails at the bottom of the map. Please go back to the earlier version and rethink your design and usability strategies. For years, since the beginning of the app, this has been my favorite, go to for trail riding., I am disappointed to say the least at the recent changes..Version: 4.0.2
✓ UselessI have 4 massive trail network for downhill and xc none of them show up on this app sadly means back to trailforks for me..Version: 4.5.4
✓ No where near as good as TrailforksThis app looks nice but doesn’t have all the trails. For my area it is missing a lot of trail data that Trailforks has. Also, it doesn’t provide any trail reports or videos so how can you tell if the trails are in good shape or suitable to your skill level. No where near as useful as Trailforks for me..Version: 3.2.1
✓ I will only be using this to find the trailsThis is only useful when researching areas to find trails. Unfortunately, the in-app functionality while riding is pretty useless. First, it’s impossible to zoom in on the map. This becomes a problem when coming to multiple intersections and you need to zoom in to see which turn to make. Nope. Won’t do it. Second, the elevation/distance reading is WAY off and changes after you save the activity. I’ll be using Strava to record all my activities again..Version: 4.2.0
✓ One of my “Go To” apps took a turn for the worseI use these apps (Hiking and MTB) for both hiking and biking. They have helped me find great trails, kept me safe and on track. Sadly, we cannot turn off the scrolling trail boxes at the bottom of the page. When you are in a slow internet area, where most good trails exist, these tiles slow the app to a crawl. I desperately wish I could toggle the off!! Also, you can “heart” (Favorite) trails AND “Gems” (sights) but only the trails show up in your favorites area!! Let me reiterate that, you can fav the gems but not find them later. In closing, I’m a huge REI fan, and a co-op member, but this app needs some tweaking to be as useful as it was in an earlier version..Version: 4.0.3
✓ Not what it says on the tinI couldn't find one trail.Version: 2.30
✓ Not happy with Latest upgradeThe app performance changed with the last update like a month ago. Today for some reason all my areas were empty and I had to download the areas again. I only discovered this while on the trail trying to open a map. Not nice at all. Beside, with the last update it is slower and each time I go into the app (even if it was left open) the access is not like before, it is slower, it needs to load some data which makes the screen go black for a second... really a change and I don’t see why it does it now..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Canada trailsThere's no Canada trails in Saskatchewan. Please add Saskatchewan trails..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Useless, rip off.No information. Waste of money. Absolutely useless. According to this app there are no mountain bike trails on earth..Version: 1.7
✓ No UK mapsNearest location was spain i'm in the UK.Version: 2.22
✓ Seems good but only a few mapsOnly a few maps in Europe... Nothing for France and UK for example. However, app looks promising !.Version: 2.1
✓ Pretty decent for a free appIt’s best feature is being free. It pretty good for searching the one’s local area for trails and as a reference tool. It’s probably pretty good for collecting metrics on the trails one normally rides. It fails on usability when using the recording function while riding. It is buggy and wont’t allow one to zoom in on the trail or stay zoomed. I’m sure it fine for trails one has ridden before but terrible if on a new trail trying to navigate braids or breaks on a trail. You get what you pay for…so overall it’s pretty good for a free app..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Want to use but can’tNot seeing Vancouver island! This coming soon?.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Outdated mapsI was hoping this app would replace Trailforks but the maps are very outdated and many trails in my area aren’t listed. Not that useful as a map if it’s years out of date..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Not so niceUnable to create an account and a lots of known trails are not showing..Version: 2.0
✓ Really poor interfaceReally bad interface.. was having issues route finding because the map wouldn’t let me move it around while it was recording. Not to mention, the recording feature is way off in stats. Doesn’t match up to the trail and for some reason won’t let me go back and review anything about it. I had high hopes because it seemed like an all trails for bikes, but turned out to be very disappointing of an app.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Utter muck one of the worst appsWho let's these apps on here I had to give it a star to write a review ,.Version: 1.7
✓ Beautiful looking app, but a pain for submitting new trailsI was super stoked when I first heard about this mapping app for mountain bike trails, so I made an account and began submitting all my favorite trails in my local riding area. For some reason, when you go to submit a trail, MTB Project wants you to add a bunch of information about the trail, including a super detailed description. This is kinda ridiculous if your are submitting a trail that you don’t the full details, like if dogs are allowed or not. Also, when I went to submit some of my trails, MTB Project rejected them because they “weren’t legal”, or “not visible on an official map”, or “is on private property”. This is SOOO maddening after filling in a bunch of info (as well as plotting GPS points on a map) and have someone dump your work in the trash! I believe there should be more freedom in choosing your trails to ride instead of heavily depending on “official maps”. If you want a trail map site that lets you plot trails anywhere, regardless of what type of land it’s on, I HIGHLY recommend switching Trailforks!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ New update is awfulI used to love the app and now I find myself using this app to find a good loop, but Trailforks while I’m riding. Please bring back the feature of the app showing where you are in your ride based on the blue circle in the elevation graph. It’s nice to know how much climbing is left, or if a steep downhill is coming. Also, I’ve had to click on a ride then view in map so many times (it wouldn’t let me just stay in that view). The horizontal scrolling while with gloves on instead of the easy-to-read list is so frustrating. It’s a clunky update and I hope you guys work on it..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Looks interesting enoughHowever it doesn't seem to be aware of any trails in my state, let alone anything local. If the possibility exists to add trails, it is unintuitive. Disappointed..Version: 2.31
✓ RubbishDon't work for me, uk area.. Needs to be called map.. Cos that's all I get...Version: 2.22
✓ Not a fan of the “new look”They changed the interface in the map and now it is much more difficult to pinpoint a single trail in a network and read about it. You have to horizontal scroll (yuck) through a bunch of trails to find the one you want in your viewport. I am really not a fan of this design. I think they should revert it back. The app is much less useful now. The information is great, and the old interface worked well. I don’t know why they felt the need to mess it up. I hope they bring back the old interface because it is now almost impossible to disaggregate a network or trails and read about a particular one..Version: 4.0.0
✓ No United KingdonTitle says it all 👎.Version: 2.22
✓ Great idea that lacks usabilityGreat idea for discovering, nice looking but the navigation makes it useless and probably more often abandoned!.Version: 3.0.1
✓ MTBPlease do something with this app The map is ok, but there's no trails on planet Earth..Version: 1.5
✓ Great app but needs some tweaking.I love this app in that it is mountain biking specific and trails are easy to locate. Recording and saving the recorded tracks is difficult. I have only used this twice and have haven’t been able to save either. Map My Ride is a much easier app to use when it comes to saving your recorded tracks. Additionally I would like to be able to share the rides I’ve don with specific people. This app holds a lot of promise and I look forward to its progression..Version: 3.1.10
✓ Would be great but...My ride never saves in record mode. It always loses connection no matter what trail I’m on. As far as I know, my cell connection isn’t dropping because I can see where I’m at at any given moment. On that note, the trails are really well marked on the app and almost always accurate! That’s a great feature when you’re out on a new trail and you’re not sure which way to go. A helpful update would be to allow users to add photos and exact location when submitting trail conditions. Having a photo and pinned location would make feedback and response way more efficient. Other than that, I haven’t found a more expansive app for mtb trails!.Version: 4.1.6
✓ New update makes me miss the older versionThis app is a great tool. But the new(er) version from the end of last year is just not as useful. I can no longer “trace” a trail to show me distance/elevation from trailheads to certain points (useful when riding only parts of trail), I can no longer click on trails to highlight them most of the time, and the trail list at the bottom scrolls out of control every time I zoom in or out on the map... as you know, there are many great things about it, but it seems to have lost a few of those things in version 4.0..Version: 4.0.8
✓ AustraliaDoesn’t have much in Australia for the Sunshine Coast or much other Australian tracks.Version: 4.5.3
✓ Just stopped workingSo today my California maps stopped loading, and now no maps at all will download.. is there a technical issue?.Version: 4.1.3
✓ Needs UpdatingIt’s a nice app, but in the area that I live, there are a ton of trails that aren’t even listed? And I don’t mean a little bit, but a lot! Just really out of date. The layout is nice, but if you want accurate trail data, you’re going to have to use the Trail Forks app. It’s definitely more current, complete, and it’s worth it to pay for the pro version. But I’m rooting for this app and hope they will just bring it up to date - and I will definitely update my review to reflect that..Version: 4.2.0
✓ OkNo UK of French trails but good 4 people elsewhere..Version: 2.1
✓ Mtb trail guideRubbish app, has so much potential but claims that there are no mountain bike trails in the entire world. Don't bother downloading, just buy a decent local trail guide book..Version: 1.7
