Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Looking at 66 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people were dissatisfied with the subscription model, finding the pricing unfair and unclear, with unexpected auto-renewals at higher rates. Customers also reported that the app and website offered a poor user experience, citing issues with functionality, constant pop-ups, and difficulty in planning routes or navigating the interface. Some people were dissatisfied with the app's performance, noting that it drained phone battery quickly and that certain features, like route planning, were removed from lower-tier subscriptions to push users towards more expensive "Peak" memberships. Conversely, a few other people also felt that the app was useful for finding routes and appreciated features like filters and reviews.

But Then They Got Greedy

The concept is good but the application has fallen victim to greed. They no longer offer a subscription without autorenewal at the onset. You can go in after the beginning of your new term and turn off autorenew, but of course the hassle of going back and doing that, and the likelihood that you will forget to do so, is the reason they set up that requirement. The app is also poorly designed, with no "Account" button for example, making navigation difficult.

I have been using the AllTrails Pro app…

I have been using the AllTrails Pro app for over a year now, and I highly recommend it. It’s great for knowing your location on a trail and tells you with the arrow which fork in the trail you have taken. It even sends an alert if you incorrectly leave the trail. I have not used the offline map because I have always gotten a GPS signal. Will try it some day. Highly recommend the Pro version for only $30 per year.

Free trial not free.

tried to get a "free" trial but all trails demanded my personal finance information for a "free" trial. No thanks Alltrails. Its not free if you have to pay with personal information.

Extremely poor customer service

Extremely poor customer service. They are rude and insulting in their ‘support’ email replies. I wouldn’t use Alltrails if I was lost and this was the only way to get directions. They don’t update critical info on trails and can lead people to get lost or go the wrong way, even when they are told of errors.

AllTrails app sends hikers along the wrong track in Numinbah Valley. The Great Walks track opposite the Numinbah Valley School of Arts Hall is the correct track for hikers to follow from the Nerang-Murwillumbah Road but this app sends people past a sign erected by National Parks which is clearly placed to prevent walkers from accessing a fire break past community housing. There is also barrier tape across this track. HIKERS MUST FOLLOW THE GREAT WALKS TRACK ARROWS. My name is Peter Yaun and I am the district Fire Warden & was involved during the design & construction stage of this Great Walks track. Please AllTrails, fix this problem as local community are very much annoyed with hikers disturbing residents in the early morning hours & even at night.

This company took £29.99 from my account without me ever attempting to subscribe. I complained via their website e mail and told them I was disputing it with the bank....half a hour later the entry had disappeared. It is a worry how thy accessed my bank details as I had never even heard of them. Since that my cousin has found an app on her phone with advisement of taking £35.99. Very worrying. I have asked them twice to explain how they had my details...no response yet.

Ludicrous hike in subscription prices - AVOID

Used Alltrails for many years and found it great but the latest round of price increases is just absurd profiteering. Prices have risen over 30% for 2023 sub. Cancelled and will not be returning. I did email the company requesting why the ludicrous hike in prices but i was fobbed off. Terrible customer service. Do not recommend.

Not helpful at all

Not helpful at all. We attempted a pretty easy circular walk but the app map was so broad-brush that we couldn't follow it at all. We ended up guessing. So it's the end of the free trial for me.

Very Inaccurate

Downloaded the app but found it very inaccurate. The route seemed to work OK but all the times and distances were wrong. As I reached the end of a walk it was telling me I still had over and hour to go and 2 miles. Hard to plan around that.
Another issue was it was raining the last time I used it. Due to a lack of any spoken directions I had to get my phone wet to check the route.

Email stalkers

Once Alltrails got my email address I have been bombarded with unwanted emails. I have been unsuccessfully trying to unsubscribe for months.
Don’t have anything to do with these stalkers.

They just keep sending me e-mails

They just keep sending me e-mails. I was not impressed by the app, so I deleted it quite quickly. However now that they have my email, they just keep coming. Unsubscribing does not work, and what is this “it takes 7 days for updating email preferences”!? Never have I ever heard of such a thing

Useless app and will auto renew without informing

Pretty useless app with poor coverage and directions for trails. Plus after paying for the pro version they automatically renewed my subscription for another year without any prior notification and refused to refund me. Total rip off.

Disappointed with AllTrails…

I am very disappointed with AllTrails pro. Having used the app for several weeks, find it difficult to find my way round. It seems impossible to write /record new routes.
Many routes on the app are inaccurate, with e.g. a walk covering many kilometres, with a gain of several hundred metres are described as ‘easy’.
Many walking paths end after a few metres!
Railway lines, which can be useful guides, are so feint that are nearly illegible.
I never found a method of finding a location without first choosing a pre-set walk near the location you are trying to find!
What I thought would be a ‘life saver’ walking in Switzerland, was a bit disappointing. Maybe a useful guide would have helped me. Unfortunately, I never found it.

Used once, now charged £29.99 out of the blue

I used this app once a year ago. They have just charged me £29.99 without any notification. I usually keep a good record of subscription dates and when to cancel free offers. There is no option on the app to cancel the subscription (that I can find - if it is there it is WELL hidden) and no obvious way to reach out to Alltrails to notify them to cancel the charge.

Not an impressive way to make money!

about this nor knowledge on my side that I need to

No Opportunity No Diversity

Not good place to work. Contractors do same work as full time but much less pay and no benefits. Promotions given based on cliques. Lost half of team this year due to lack of opportunity or because they spoke out about something illegal. Brags a lot about being accessible but website not available to people with visual or hearing problems even though that's the law. Team not diverse at all either.
