FarOut Customer Insights

1. It's possible that I've missed a setting, but one thing that would mitigate risk would be to give users visibility to and the option to postpone trail updates so that data would not be corrupted at the wrong timeOverall invaluable to Hikers! World like maps to auto load when you searching between sections of the map.

2. Would be nice to have the option to zoom out on everything with a pinch, not just one axis.I've found this app to be incredibly useful while on trail and also while setting at the house planning your next section.

3. Well worth the money! I also bought some of the regional map bundles and they are super helpful for trip planning, but the custom route option is a bit finicky, so I'd like to see that ironed out a bit so I can get rid of AllTrails.I am not one to typically write reviews unless I am particularly impressed or disappointed.

4. Waypoint photos allow you to get a glimpse of shelters, campgrounds, parking areas, and more! The user comments are extremely helpful for real-time updates on wildlife activity, water availability, closures, etc.

5. That's a huge issue, especially for water carry planning.This app has become the Gold Standard for thru hikers.

6. But turns out if you have any issues they are quick to help you out! Thanks for making my AT thru hike last year, and looking forward to using it again on the PCT next year.

7. Also would really love the ability to pick a start and stop point and get data when planning ahead for future days! When sitting at a hostel, it would make the planning easier.

8. The bad: We have found errors in some cases on the actual trail location (both CDT and PNT).

9. This app has an overall intuitive design, the maps are reasonably priced, each map is highly customizable, and most importantly: customer service is unmatched in quality and timeliness.

10. Finally getting help from their staff is great, when you do run into technical difficulties.This is an essential app for hikers that I wouldn't do without.

11. Being off trail it wasn't a big deal, but I can imagine how frustrating it would be to lose it while hiking.
