Ramblr Reviews

by Palinusa

Ramblr works well but you cannot upload your trips. What’s the point of tracking your trips if you cannot upload your trips for future reference or sharing them with others?

I really like the interface and features. The on problem I have is that when you take Photos within Ramblr the metadata is not recorded so the gps data and all the other camera data is lost. Needs to be fixed before I’ll use

Just got a new iPhone and now this app gives incorrect distances. Side by side with my husband’s older phone, the 12 is way off. Support says they can’t fix it so I’m looking for a new tracking app. Too bad, been using this for years.

Now I don't hike without it. It's even better now that u can edit trips. Great way to keep records of your hike and to share with friends!

Now that I've been using this regularly for probably two years I wanted to update my rating. I took away a star for two reasons---1) Ramblr is desperate for more CT users. Developers should bring this to a bigger scale because it's such a great app. Maybe a partnership with outdoor gear stores? Get some marketing going! 2) I love being able to find other routes through other users BUT I'd like an advanced search where I can at least filter for a specific distance or "more than X miles". Also when I do re-search on different area on map and switch to "list", the "list" then doesn't reflect the new results. Even with these flaws I love Ramblr and will continue to use it as well as recommend it. I've tried other free ones and none compare.

Glad to see the addition of controls for voice notifications. I really didn’t like my phone randomly talking to me in the backcountry and that was a deal-breaker for me. For a free app this is simply outstanding. I’d like to see more map layers available but nothing else’s really has the story format that this app does, which is pretty cool in my book and keeps me coming back to it.

This has been my go-to tracker for years, and has been very reliable, more so than others I also use. But yesterday it froze while I was deleting a large map, and I had to reinstall everything, including all my downloaded maps (about 6 GB worth). Ah well….

I am still learning Ramblr but so far it’s great. Would like to be able to edit the route. I tend to forget to stop the program. I would also like to change my user name.

Ramblr is the coolest thing because you don’t have to try to use a map to figure out where you are! You can follow someone else’s mouth! And I love that it beeps at you if you get off track! I do wish that you could just add to someone else’s trip so that you could add details like where A turn is or something to watch out for. It would be super helpful to be able to come bind that information into one tracking trip by adding to someone else’s trip they’ve already done.

I saw another review that said Ramblr was the best GPS app and I agree. It is very simple to use and it works for everything. I got rid of Runkeeper because I use this app. It is nicer. I used it for hunting in the mountains and it tracked perfectly. The maps in the program are good enough to help you when you terrain associate out in the middle of nowhere. I also use Ramblr for running. While I run, I listen to Pandora and run the this app app at the same time with no problems. I have an old Iphone 4 so it's good to have a program nice enough for all functions I need but simple enough for my dinosaur phone to handle.

Ramblr is great! I love using it to document all of my outdoor activities and travels. It's a lot of fun to both upload your own trips, but to also look at other people's adventures from all around the world. There are so many opportunities to use Ramblr - they cover such a variety of activities. Give it a try and you'll love it!

It is a good app which can record all your trips using photos, notes, even videos, and share with your family and friends through social media. The offline map function is really helpful, coz you know you can't get Internet in the remote area.

by Terawitchdoctor1

This is a great program for keeping track of your activity (lots of label choices), and adding your own waypoints and photos. It is easy to use and keeps your activity in the background until it can be downloaded via internet. Maps are very accurate. Overall, very pleased.

I use Ramblr all of the time to track, save, and share my Jeep adventures. I start Ramblr when I first set out and use the camera built into it to take photos and video to mark interesting places along the way. I also use the camera to photograph trail signs and forest roads to reference with forest service maps later on to confirm the location and route I was on.

I've tried a few different outdoor mapping apps and this is by far the best one I have ever used. The ability to add photos that then show up on the mapped route is a wonderful feature that I use every hike. I also love being able to upload trails from my GPS onto the site and then see them on my phone. Incredible app that I would, and have, recommend to anyone.

I was looking for something to log my dirtbike adventure in Argentina. Ramblr did the trick. I was pleased to see speed and elevation after I uploaded the trip. The only thing i dont see working is that i signed
Up via app and cant log in online, password reminder not working. Besides this i think Ramblr is great. I didnt notice i could add photos as i went and looking at the FAQs online, it seems i can add to my route and hopefully add photos. I have not used other apps for this type of thing but this one works great. I emailed support on my issue earlier today and i dont see a response yet. I am getting the emails from my daily updates from routes I have uploaded. Im sure it will get sorted.
Update on 1/5/14: the issue was an error on my part. Support got me sorted within the day and followed up w me today to make sure i was ok.
I've been using Ramblr and it does what i need it to do. I'm happy w the product an would recommend it.

I love it.

Been using it for years. Can't imagine hiking without it

I use Ramblr to track all my Jeep trips. It’s great to be able to take photos to mark interesting places too.

by Chance/Missouri

What happened to my this app app??? I use it every week for horseback riding. Haven’t been able to use it or get my stored information for 2 days...

by T_McK

We have been using Ramblr a lot for trail riding with the horses and it has been wonderful! I love it! Once you figure out how to use, and it isn't that hard, it's priceless!

I was excited about trying Ramblr out. I logged in with FB (an option it gives) and it took me back to the login screen. I hit login with FB again and it says I already granted permission, but yet doesn't log me in. I then tried to set up a user name and password and it told me I didn't have a valid email address (asked to create a user name, not email) so I then typed in a email address, same message and blah blah blah it just went on and on. I am perfectly capable of setting up an account, but Ramblr was useless. Disappointed and deleted.

by Whiskeyandwaves

I really love the idea of Ramblr, and the fact that you can integrate pictures and video to points on the map is awesome. The only problem I had was gps tracking. It was off compared to my other trackers by about 2 miles, and though it recorded my route it didn't do it in the right place. According to this I fancied traversing multiple lanes of highway instead of trail. If there's a way to fix that this would be a really great app.
