Pros and cons of Hike & Bike app for iPhone and iPad

Hike & Bike app good for

Used this app a lot on a recent trip to Banff. Good map detail for local hiking trails. However, I agree with previous commenter that this app is useless when out of cell range because cant save maps. The ski version allows you to save maps, why not this one?

After having tried many other live-tracking maps this is my favourite go-to app. Its ready to rock the moment you flash it up- hit start and begin your hike! Its got you covered.

Some bad moments

Useless without a data connection as it cannot save any maps.

No response to technical inquiry. No confidence in apps reliability. Looking elsewhere.

I bought this app immediately when it came out because I love going for hikes. This was very easy to use and understand. I loved being able to see not only speed but the altitude, especially when hiking up mountains in upstate NY! Being able to take geo-referenced pics is definately a major benefit too!!

Absolutely one fantastic app. Has so many features. Works perfectly. Only minor improvement could be to set the altitude at the beginning of the track as the actual elevation. Currently it starts at sea level.

Been waiting for an app like this. Hike remote areas. Flawless! Works perfectly with no Cell Signal.

This is the best GPS app I have found for hiking. It is so simple to use but does everything I need. The best thing is it works entirely without cell or internet reception!
