   Claridad. Debería ser más claro más legible

2. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

   Skip it. Shouldn’t need an account to see trails

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   As bad as the Alltrails. Every time I’ve tried to use the filters it asks me to sign in AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN. It shows 524 trails for a small town. There are probably 20 but if you can’t pair it below 500 and you don’t have a month to plan a hike it’s useless.

4. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

   Meh. Initial reaction is unimpressive. "Can't find trails" if I try to add on a map and doesn't seem to allow gpx uploads on the app. Won't let me login to web version on phone. Unlikely to extend after free trial

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Trails draw in a straight line since last app update. Since the last update, the app no longer accurately traces a trail. Trails show up as straight lines. I’ve tried all the suggested solutions but none work. I submitted the app code as requested. Hopefully this will be fixed because it is a great app but totally useless if the GPS link no longer functions.

6. ★★★★★privacy and excessive permissions

   Security flaw, potentially due to user error.. So I noticed a security flaw with this app. There are trails that lead to people’s homes. This could easily be used to track people and target them for robbery and/or property theft. I understand it’s due to the user tracking their ride from their home, but this is not a good thing for privacy concerns.

7. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

   Buggy. Please fix !!!

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Good app except.... I got this because it pairs easily with my Suunto watch. I like all the features and everything works great. What I don’t like about it is that it automatically uploads EVERY ONE of my fitness activities from my Suunto to the Wikiloc app. Plus, all those activities are immediately public unless I move them to a private list. There’s no way to turn the automatic upload feature off once it is paired with my Suunto. If someone doesn’t realize that all their Suunto fitness activities are public, then if they begin an activity from their house, the public trail shows the entire planet where they live. They need to incorporate a button that either turns off the automatic upload from their device or turn off automatic public without having to create a non-public list. Either way, I’m considering deleting the app because I sometimes do 2 fitness activities per day and I don’t need all that on my Wikiloc app. Edit: With iOS, there is no way to block or delete someone who is “following.” There is also no way to keep people from “following” you and your activities.

   Worthless in Spain. Routes and maps either outdated or wrong.

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not worth the money. The app does not use your GPS to help navigate the hike. Hiking in the Drakensberg, we expected this app to help us navigate but it did not.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Cannot Connect. Cannot seem to connect Garmin GPSMAP 67i to this phone (iPhone 15 Pro).

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Problem app.. Terrible app. I can’t use it because it assigned two different accounts to me. Impossible to import gpx tracks from an iOS device.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor design to create account. Username cannot contain dots but it is what is offered by default. Feedback is just: Bad request. Not obvious way to change password

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Does not save to favorites. I thought this was going to be fantastic. I download route numbers and save them into my favorites, and they completely disappeared the next day.!

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    They did it again. I told them How I hated their autorenewal and they did not listen.. I want to cancel this app and this unethical company. But I don’t seem to be able to.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Recently mileage has been way off using iWatch !. I don’t know what this app relies on to compute mileage. But I’ve been noticing that mileage is way off - much less than travelled. Initially, I loved this app. Now it’s time to dust off my Garmin egress. Sad.

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Free????. Signed into app thinking it was free. Only to find out it’s a free trial. Attempting to delete free trial with no success

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Great mountaineering resource. And it’s free.

19. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Download to Garmin. Can’t get downloads to garmin 830 to work.

20. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Hey look at this!!!!. Here’s the deal. Your app automatically signed me up for your premium service. Upon review it has nothing to offer. Impressed, I was initially not. Thoroughly, I am not even more so, now. I would like to cease my “subscription”, however it would seem the in-built functions of your app precludes one of such nature from performing what should be a relatively routine operation. Maybe we should have a chat… and change the course of this review.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    This app is a sick joke. Try to create an account. I dare you. You will be asked to identify bridges, traffic lights, and tractors multiple times. Gimme a break…and a different app. Garbage

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sign-in Nighmare. I'd give it a single star, but that would be giving your developer too much credit. If you want to give your customers multiple sign-in options on the customer facing side, at least have the foresight to link those for the same customer on your side.

23. ★★★★★a needed feature is missing

    You need a computer to set a password for link your garmin watch with the app. Don’t set the app with a socia account is a big pain in a but when you want to load the trail at the watch

24. ★★★★★login, signup and account access

    Unable to sign in, unresponsive customer support. I am just unable to sign in. I tried installing, deinstalling, reinstalling again, all to no avail. Customer support is unresponsive and takes forever to reply.

25. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Uploading my walks. I don’t want to upload my walks and in the past I didn’t used to, but now they seem to upload without my doing anything. I don’t know what changed and how to change it back. It is enough of a dealbreaker that if I don’t fix it, I’ll cancel and find a diff app. Please tell me how to fix it.

26. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Not what I was promised. Paid for a lifetime membership back on 2012 when nobody was barely using this app, and I did it to support the developer since I saw it was a new project from a Catalan developer which I wanted him to succeed. The issue is that ever since i paid for the lifetime subscription / membership, I’ve seen how many features have been added to Wikiloc and I’m being left out since they have created new tiers that won’t be included in the lifetime membership. Not sure that’s a great business model to send the message to the folks who supported this app since day 1 when nobody else would care for it. No app would make it this far without early supporters like myself. I hope th developer decides to give access early paid supporters of this app into the premium features keeping in mind we were the ones who gave this app support when it most needed it.

27. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Not great, at all.. Good for trail research beforehand. It’s a clunky app that doesn’t interact intuitively with my Garmin Fenix 5X.

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    No trails that are not popular. As of now I will not recommend this app as an avid hiker. Wish I could get my money back!!!

29. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Too much risk, trails can invade private property.. There are trails on the app that invade private property. Many bad experiences and groups of hikers are in danger. There should be a warning to users stating they are going to break the law if they follow certain trails. Very dangerous in every way.

30. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Poor interface, manipulative.. Difficult and frustrating to use
