New Forest National Park Walks

Excellent app. Just got back from a lovely long weekend in the New Forest and this app gave us the opportunity and the confidence to explore so much more than we would have done otherwise. GPS works brilliantly and the four walks we done were beautiful. I wish there were more apps like this for walks in other areas of the UK!

There are a lot of positives to this app - good for finding walks and ensuring you don’t get lost! We definitely wandered further than we otherwise would have. HOWEVER some of the village walks took place on busy roads which had no footpath - this was not fun with a dog and can’t imagine a family would feel safe with younger children. It needs better specifications about where you will be walking and who it would be suitable for. With a bit more development and more walks added it will be an indispensable app.

I used this app for a 1.5 walk. Firstly it’s great for basic functions but has some annoying quirks. The gps pointer is good but stupidly when you lock your phone it resets the app so when you re-enter it you’re back to the main page and have to then go into maps, search your position. Chose the route you are on and zoom back in. Absolutely ridiculous. If the route we did was say 5miles It would be impossible to keep using the app. Forget a 27 miler! Add a favourites button or stop the app resetting when you lock your phone. No one wants to leave their phone open and unlocked for 3-5hours! Also you can’t filter the suggested routes down by distance or location. It’s just a free for all on suggestions. Improve these and it would be a decent app.
