A must have for hiking fans.

It kept logging me out and wouldn't save my hikes

Love this app! I do wish I could stay signed in though.

Directions button is a link to Google maps. Trouble is....most of these are in such remote areas Google hasn't been there yet so there are no trail maps to look at. The one trail map I did find had the start and end points cut off and was zoomed in so far you couldn't tell where it was. I'll add some stars once they add some functionality beside just a list of trails, somebody's photo album, and a link to the weather. Driving directions to trailheads should be part of the app. Linking all info to their web site makes the app little more than a browser bookmark. A trails app with no trail maps is ridiculous.

I use this app all the time to find hikes it's great BUT if I write a review on a hike it is God damn impossible to post pics with it? Why??? Fix that flaw and I'd give the app 5⭐

Amazing collection of trails. Every Washington hiker needs to have this app!

10/11: Repeating trip reports continue to plague this app.

Just the ticket; all you need & nothing extraneous. Very handy to find tricky trailheads.

U70%

I really like this app, it's great as far as getting and sharing reports. Finding hikes and other things to do in the area. However, they really need to include trail maps. What's the point of having offline into available if you can't see the trail or a map of the area. Please add this feature. Having offline maps would make this the best!

Decent app and extremely helpful but needs more work. There are bugs (missing OK button on changing date dialog for trip report submission) and lots of feature requests (see other reviews). If only the project were open source...

Fantastic app which makes it easy to find and save hikes. I hope they keep improving it as little features like marking trails as done and links to GPS trails would make it even better.

Ratings in map view are incorrect, white text on white background on registration screen.

Love browsing trip reports on the app, and using to help plan, especially weather and drive time. Love that my favorites end up in my saved hikes on the website.

N70%
by N####:

Incredibly useful app, very clean and easy to navigate. The big missing feature is the ability to mark and separate which hikes you've completed. The desktop WTA site permits you to check completed hikes and separate out your "wish list", but on the app all your hikes are jumbled together. I'd also second others' recommendation for the hikes to be searchable by what pass is required. Those improvements aside, the app as-is functions very well and is a necessity for WA hiking.

It's a nice app to find trails near you and nice to see fellow hikers feedback and photos. I also like the GPS location to the trail head, sometimes it's difficult to find trail heads, this makes it easier. The one thing this app lacks is actual maps of the trails with key land marks. I find trail markers to be lacking due to little maintenance of a lot of trails, and in some cases game trails take you off course especially if proper trail markers are few and far between.

I love this app but one thing I wish you could do is somehow mark that you have done the hike. There are so many hikes in Western Washington it would be nice to be able to mark the hikes as you do them so that you know what ones you've done and what ones you haven't. Other than that it's a great app!

Love this app. We would love to have the ability to filter by what type of pass (Northwest Forest pass etc) is required for the trail!

The app leads us on the other side of mountains most of the time. It made us go about an hour out of the way. Not alot of info about trails and the info there is mostly wrong.

Didn't have my trail, (Merritt Lake), so dismissed this app for now. May check back at a later point and time. Would be useful to be able to save trail info to the device.

Super helpful.

Z70%

I love the WTA website so I thought this app would make it more convenient. Instead it doesn't help at all because I can't log into my account to save hikes and write trip reports. If I'm able to use the app I can obviously use the internet to just go to the regular site. Add that feature and this could easily be a 5 star app but until then I have no use.

Love the app!

The only thing that would make this app better would be if I could log into my account to sync my trips. If I could do that, this would be five stars.
