MTB Project for Positive User Reviews
✓ Hidden SecretsI’m really grateful for this app. I’ve discovered so many new trails. I’m always looking to peer deeper into nature and explore the unexplored. This app provides a foundation for this exploration. Just today I was high up in glimmering Aspens on a trail that I didn’t even know existed. Most of the locations are reviewed and location finding hasn’t been too far fetched yet. I look forward to more single track and creative inspiration ✨.Version: 4.1.6
✓ Great for US trailsHas been really useful in finding trails along front range Colorado and South West. It relies on user data input and not many in the UK at the moment so will take time to build up..Version: 2.31
✓ Explore new areas with confidenceGreat source of inspiration for fantastic rides. Accurate information and easy to consult. Wow! If you love mountain bike. You need this app..Version: 3.1.1
✓ So good, I have to go to Colorado!!I've been looking for a good mobile phone app for ages. Now I've found MTB project I have been reviewing all the rides I did 20 years ago when I started mtb in Colorado. I have to go back and this app will convince my friends to go too!.Version: 3.1.7
✓ Like being an instant localThe MTB app make every rider an instant local, by giving him or her access to rides in many locations. I’m relocating to a new area and have already found dozens of rides that I can’t wait to try. If it weren’t for this app, I’d have to spend months or years discovering these rides. The phone app has also saved me from getting lost. It’s like having a local rider in your pocket..Version: 4.1.2
✓ 👍🏾 amazing for my area 🚴I find this app to be fantastic in almost every way. The bad ratings are mostly from lazy complainers as far as I can see. The only improvements I would .2 would be in the map key and map trail lines – they could be a little more visible, especially for use on a phone. Thanks for this useful app!.Version: 4.5.3
✓ Great maps and trails! GPS tracking needs workOverall this app is well done. I am able to find trails and routes that I've never been on before. A big portion of the features are user driven. Everything from pictures, trail conditions, ratings, and descriptions are user driven. This app helps me navigate well and discover new routes. The more people who use this app the better it will become. Suggestion for improvement would be better ride tracking capabilities, and the ability to meet up with local riders and network..Version: 3.1.7
✓ AmazingI unfortunately live in a place near no trails so I tried this app and found some amazing trails but I don’t live by them but it is amazing if your wondering if there are any trails near you 👍🤟.Version: 3.2.2
✓ The best app I have ever used!I travel for work and This app has made that so much better! Easy to find trails near where you are or where you are going. When on the road this is the first app I look too. It is easy to see what trails are nearby and gives great information about them, often with great info from locals. And you download trails so that whether you have cell service or not, you always know where you are on the trail. That is priceless when way out on the trails! It has not only saved me many times, but given me confidence to ride new trails and know I will get back..Version: 3.2.0
✓ App HamstrungMost of what makes apps like this useful is community knowledge and this app lack basic community feedback features, even though the website has the functionality. I think fixing this would increase user engagement and make the platform better for everyone. I find MTB project has the best interface for seeing trail rating, elevation profile with steepness, and route map - better than TrailForks, OnX, or AllTrails. I do find the website has more of the features I want - comments and check-ins are easy to view and there is a “suggest and edit” button on each field. I highly recommend developers make more check-ins and comments available on the app. There are very popular trails that haven’t been updated in years and I think part of the issue is lack of ease of use to put updates in via the app. This is a 3 star app to me - 4 if you use the website or the website functionality made it into the app, then 5 stars if more people put check ins/comments and/or the developer took a page from TrailForks and made more filters possible - like popularity, dog friendly, winter, etc. I still use other apps for planning or searching but 99% of the time this is my go-to app for use while hiking/riding because the elevation profile, current progress, and map are all so clear and can be pinned so you don’t lose it..Version: 4.5.4
✓ Better than TrailforksSaying this app is better than Trailforks isn’t quite accurate. It is more refined, offering better features wrapped in a slicker user interface. It is still missing information I can find on Trailforks. I like this app a lot and will use it often but I am not yet ready to discard Trailforks..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Amazing app!This app is so fantastic for anyone going out on the trails. I love to see where I am at , and use it to help ensure I am taking the right route.Version: 3.2.1
✓ Awesome - great tool for trail riding.Once you download your state maps, the app works with gps even if you loose your cell/data signal. Super useful if your exploring new unfamiliar trails and you loose your bearings or miss a turn. Quick check on the app and your right back on track. Accurate reports on gradient, elevation, and distances. Trail descriptions and reviews are very helpful too..Version: 3.2.3
✓ Use GPS MBP map as you ride to track locationI don’t bike unfamiliar areas without MTP. I mount my iPhone on the handlebars of my mountain bike when I’m on new trails. I go to the maps section of MBP and get a real time GPS tracking of where I am on the trail. This helps when when I come to forks. I zoom out and figure which way to go. Plus when your miles back in the mountains, you can figure out your way back. When I come upon unexpected side trails, I stop to figure out where they go and if it’s worth the adventure to explore. Love this feature..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Recording rides and adding trails needs work.It lets you record a ride but it’s buggy. Sometimes it will stop recording and you have the start it a second time then it seems to work so long as you don’t switch apps. The sample rate need to be improved. Winding trails can’t be captured well and will show a shorter distance than reality. You can’t change the view on the map while it’s recording. If you’re recoding while riding an existing trail it doesn’t help with forks or directions and again you can zoom to check on the map your self. The app needs a way to take pictures while recording a ride and the ability to add a note and a way to submit that photo and note as a trail issue or a correction to a trail or route. Even if you can get a clean trail recorded even then there is no way to export the ride in the app or make it in to a trail or anything. If you try and add a trail it just dumps to a website that can’t pull any info from the app. Even if you try and use the website it doesn’t use the same map layers / sat view as the app so it will not line up right or may show in one and not the other. Disappointing. At this time It’s better to not use the recording feature at all. This app should be fixed so trail makers can upload an in progress trail system and update as it expands. This is a primary suggested use of the app based in the name in the first place after all and should be a focus for further development..Version: 4.2.2
✓ This app seems broken for me. UPDATEI used this app last year to find great trails, see reviews, and even recent conditions of trails. However, now when I use this app there are no trails to be found. I pick my state, zoom into areas of known trails, and nothing appears. I can’t even see a list of any trails in the state. I hope this gets fixed soon because this used to be my go to for finding new trails. UPDATE: Thank you for reaching out to me. I deleted and reinstalled the app. Everything seems to be working great now. I’m happy I can use this great app again!.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Condition History!!!I love this app but there is one great feature on the website they seem to always leave out. On a computer you can check the history of user updated conditions and in my state of Colorado, I feel it’s very useful. I can check back to see how soon the trails thawed out enough to ride in past years! Obviously it’s not always the same but some years have similar amounts of snow to others and it helps me gauge when I may be able to hit the high alpine trails!.Version: 4.1.5
✓ So far it’s been goodI’ve just started using the App so as time goes on I’ll have a better idea so far it’s been good..Version: 4.1.4
✓ Charting the unknown and the FamiliarWe have used MTB while traveling to other states to check out their trails. It has been an invaluable aide trying to find them and follow the different routes. MTB shows you exactly where you are so you know which direction to turn. Many times it has saved us from getting lost!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Auto zoom WAS a deal breakerUpdate. Tech support was great. They told me about what to me looks lijecc BD a hidden feature. Turn off location lock by tapping on the location triangle. It stops the auto zoom that I hated. Spent hours looking for this button. Frustrating as it keeps zooming out while recording. It thinks it knows what I want to see. It does not. Give an option to turn auto zoom off..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Love the app, but GPS is only working when I have cell service, thoughBeen using this app for many years! Love it! Though, this weekend I was trying to locate where I was on the trail, and the GPS current location marker would not update to my current location of cell service was weak. Usually, it works pretty much all the time, even without cell coverage, since the GPS signal always works. It used to work in the area I was in. iPhone XR 13.4.1.Version: 4.1.5
✓ Apple Watch compatibilityAny time I’m going out on a new trail I’ll use this app just to make sure I’m taking the right turns and keeping on track. I absolutely love the layout and the ease of use, I would just ask there to be maybe a simplified version for watchOS as checking my watch is less of a hassle then to have to stop and check my phone any time I need directions. It would be a great addition..Version: 4.1.5
✓ Excellent app!This app is excellent. It is easy to use, includes a massive amount of trails, elevations, ratings, descriptions, photos...everything is easy to find and use! Nothing is overlooked. It opens up trails for all levels and makes riding and exploring so much more fun. No glitches or ads and no digging through distracting features. Just easy to select maps and easy to pin favorite trails..Version: 3.2.3
✓ App is almost perfectI came over here after trail forks added their stupid paid subscription model and this app is wonderful. I think the UI is a little unintuitive and clunky though accessing trail info, favoriting, and contributing photos. I would really love to see this app grow and become the Strava for MTB with a social feed and more robust tracking. The trail information is awesome and if it was easier to report trail conditions I would be doing it more often too. Keep up the great work dev team!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Works great on trail even w/o service.Used the app on a long ride that I was doing for the first time that was out of cell service range. The app keep the map even without service. I had flagged the ride as "to do"; so maybe that helped keep the map stored. Since the ride was multiple hours, I didn't keep my phone out. But just consulted it half a dozen times to check my progress and verify that I had taken the correct turns/branches on the trail. Reentering the app, the app didn't automatically update my location. I had to reselect the map each time from my "to do" list. But once doing so my position updated immediately. Really invaluable tool. I also had the trail map but you often you have no idea when on the map you are. Gave great peace of mind to reduce energy needed for orienteering..Version: 3.1.7
✓ LOVE finding new MTB trails while travelingThis has been one of the best apps I’ve found for MTB trail locations that other apps trying to map “everything” seem to miss. My one complaint, and NOT with the app, is there should absolutely be 2 different ratings for any trails (MTB, hiking, etc) cause as a 40something YOF trying to get back to riding and in shape, that 20something year old’s rating is WAY too much for me 😀😅. So MTB, here is your chance to reach those of us working at getting back to 20something (ok...maybe 30something!) shape and start the next big trend! (But you can’t make the trail rating markers chubby women in spandex...cause I know someone there was thinking it 🤣) Oh and thanks for the great app too!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Best app for mountain bikers!!I drive cross country in a semi and try to find trails to bike along the way. Before finding this app I could never find trails to ride. Now it is like I know some that has the inside scoop on every trail in the US. They also ride every trail with me to keep me on the right trail. With the number of trails and how little some are marked without the gps and map I do not know if I would have gotten home a couple of times. Only thing that would be nice is bike routes in cities. I know that it is not a trail so am not going to knock them for that..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Best MTB appI love this app! It’s easy to use. The stats are always accurate. Driving directions are accurate. And love how I can rate and leave comments. And I also read others comments too! My favorite feature is the top rides in your area. Gives great ideas for rides. I even found some rides in my area I didn’t know about. Love it! One thing I’d like to change is the check in feature. Most of the time right after a ride or the day of ride I don’t leave a rating and review. I like to come back and do that. Can the check in feature have a select a date feature and not just be for that day?.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Holy smokes this is amazing!Recently used MTBProject when heading up to ride some new trails in Indiana. Brown County has a ton of different trails to ride so it's pretty intimidating going there for the first time without anyone to guide you around. Using MTBProject I managed to navigate the trail system and do a super incredible loop put together using the maps and elevation plots on the app. Coolest feature I found was when riding up hill, you can pull up the elevation chart on the app and a little black dot pops up on the hill you're climbing and shows how much further up hill you have. The app also tracks exactly where you are on the trail so you know when to look out for connecting trails and such. Unbelievably helpful and was super impressed. Not sure how any mountain biker can get by without it..Version: 3.1.10
✓ MTB projectThis app is accurate and incredibly helpful. I have used it to find trails in 3 different states. The only issue I have is the individual reviews of the trails. I am a beginner mountain biker so it’s hard for me to gage difficulty and I have found that the individual reviews have down played the difficulty of the trails. I thought it was that I was just a beginner until I have had others on trails comment that there are some pretty difficult areas. I would encourage individuals to provide a little more detail when reviewing a trail..Version: 4.5.3
✓ Great for a newbieI have found this app invaluable in my foray into mountain biking. I’m not a newbie to biking but I’m just getting started at MTB so I really needed help picking trails and staying on them. After picking a suitable trail, the gps keeps me from getting off track (I pull it out constantly on more complicated trail systems) and also helps with the difficulty that is either behind or yet to come. I highly recommend both this app and the sister app for hiking..Version: 4.2.0
✓ Great appThis app is need just as much as your tire pump if u want to explore with your bike.Version: 3.1.7
✓ This app has the ability to grow!When looking at what this app offers, I believe it has the ability to grow and become very popular! Since it focuses on the community and not the money, I can tell you a lot of people should switch to this if you love to mountain bike. Apps that focus on helping the community are the ones that can lead to become very successful! The more people that join this app, the better it will be!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Very well documentedThis app has saved my bacon a number of times. I have come to rely on this thing for all of my out of town rides.. the description is very detailed and and right on the money! The GPS sync is a life saver! Used it on a ride in Durango 3.7 miles away from civilization. Brought me right back home. Just finished a ride in Sun Valley ID and once again it served me well. Recommended the app to my brother in law who has just started getting into Mountain Biking. He just took it on a trip to. We Mexico and Colorado and also raves about the details. Thanks for such a great app!.Version: 4.1.6
✓ Excellent InfoVery helpful maps and good track info.Version: 4.2.2
✓ Very helpful appVery helpful, but I wish it were easier to add comments, pictures, etc. to trails. The descriptions are nice, and helpful, but comments from riders can add a lot of perspective and be more up-to-date on latest developments. Once or twice I’ve seen maps that aren’t accurate (trails have been added, for example), and can’t find a way to give that feedback. As far as apps go though, very convenient and helpful in finding trails..Version: 4.2.2
✓ Valuable ResourceI have used this on several trips to new riding areas. Guided us around even when I lost cell service for most of the day. Including driving between trailheads. I also like how it shows your position on the trail map as well as the elevation graph. Helpful to know how you are doing on new climbs when you are trying to pace your self for a long day. Thanks REI for giving us a great tool to get out and ride..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Great for new rides!Whenever I explore new trails I hit the thumbtack at the bottom of the screen to pin the trail. There are so many great features with this app, but maybe my favorite is how user friendly it is. I also like how it doesn’t drain my battery. As I ride, when I get to a new intersection, I open this app on my phone and my location is always on the map regardless of cellular reception. It even shows which way I’m facing!!!! If I’m looking at a multi-intersection, I point the phone toward each path, until the triangle is pointing toward the marked path... it’s super easy to NOT get lost with this app! 5 Stars!!!.Version: 3.2.1
✓ My go-to mountain bike appMTB Project is an awesome resource for ride planning, whether in a new area or one I’m already familiar with. There are a couple quirks that I have learned to live with, but I would love to see improved. First, elevation change always seems to be at least 10% less than what my Garmin or Strava on my iPhone indicates. I’ve had rides with more than a 20% discrepancy between MTB Project, my Garmin, and Strava. Second, I wish I could leave a comment or add a trail photo without doing so through my computer. Often I would like to make a helpful comment after riding a trail, but it’s too much effort to go login through a computer later—so I just don’t bother. Ditto for uploading photos. I almost always take a few photos when I ride and upload to Strava, but it’s way too much effort to get those photos from my phone, to my computer, and into MTB Project. Sure, maybe I’m lazy. But that’s why I use MTB Project to make sure I hit the best downhills in the right direction!.Version: 4.2.2
✓ The mtb project is awesomeWorks amazingly for tracking or recording a track or ride and is simple to use.Version: 3.1.1
✓ Great MTB companionGreat app with great info on MTB trails. Also you can help out by recording your rides and sharing out the trails for everyone to see. Give back and record trails you ride so newbies (& experts) can see what to ride. Used this on vacation in the Adirondacks and it took me to some awesome trails. Thanks to the sharers! Love the MTB community Please add Apple Watch support so I can start and stop recording, add workouts and see the map on my watch so I can leave my phone @ home.Version: 3.2.0
✓ App broken v4.1.2 (Fixed!)The latest version appears to be broken. Maps get an error while trying to download, previous maps don’t appear to be working, no trails show up for my area. Deleted the data but it gives and error now when trying to redownload. 😢 Update, I deleted the app from my phone and redownloaded it. Now it works like it used to!.Version: 4.1.2
