Full of annoyances and problems. Big icons cover and obscure map, very poor map navigation, oversimplified trail maps, very few (and confusing) display options, repeated annoying pop up, always resets to Washington DC, rife with outdated info, iPad version displays only portrait view, Trails Near Me shows trails hundreds of miles away in other states. Local governments do such a poor job of their own trail web sites that it leaves the door open for poor apps like this. While the app is not a complete waste of time, I’ll be on the lookout for a better app for sure! NEXT DAY RESPONSE FROM THE DEVELOPER states their opinion that my review is “overly critical”! Wow, not only a very poor site, but a very, very testy developer! I certainly don’t expect improvement after such a smug response! (Adjusted rating down to one star.)

App contains good info on trails. Once the UI is learned, navigation is fair. It's a pretty good resource for finding rail trails. I use it to find (gravel) rail trails for bike rides.

However, there are a few areas that could use improvement. First, the area map only shows trail beginnings. If you're looking at a place that's part of a trail that's hundreds of miles long, unless you know where the trail starts, you wouldn't even know there's a trail.

Additionally, some trails (like the entire east to west) are broken down into sections of sub trails, so you not only need to know where the trail starts, you need to know the start of that section according to the app's data. There needs to be a way to show the trail on the big map, not just within the trail details.

Trail info lacks elevation info. Nothing on elevation change and no elevation profile graph. Makes planning difficult. Need to have elevation graph with info, and, better yet, also a way to correspond point on graph with map and vise versa.

Finally, no native iPad app seems opportunity lost. Map exploration could use the extra screen real estate.

Good info. Good start. Good potential. Hope to see more improvement.

I only rode this 5 miles from the TH by the bar “The Rail,” but it was very pleasant. The trail starts being paved but turns to limestone approximately 1 mile. There were turkeys and babies within that one mile, which is partially shaded. The trail outside of Beatrice is well shaded for the first couple of miles. This makes for a cool breeze while hammering the pedals. You’ll cross four wooden bridges in those 5 miles, tracing Indian Creek part of the ways. I even spotted a fawn drinking from the creek.
The only down side was the brush sticks out too far when crossing the roads. The city need to trim it. I highly recommend surfing Homestead “Express” Trail for a reconnection with nature and a blast into Gage County history!!
