for both Android and iOS with a big collection of trail information trail
photos and trail reviews from a community of 10 million hikers
backpackers mountain bikers and trail runners. In this video I will walk you
through how to use the mobile application for both the free version and the pro version
before we go ahead and get started here you want to make sure you go to the App
Store and search for All trails and then the app will look something like that
you can download the app and once you have it on your phone you can log in
using either your Facebook or your Gmail account information and you should be
able to access it. I'm gonna try to walk you through most of the functionality
and the features that the application has to offer and the first thing that
you will see on your screen since I already had the application is the list
of hiking trails that are close by and this is going to show up if you do have
your location enabled now as you can see I have Camelback Mountain and few other
trails here that are marked as completed now the first functionality that I want
to walk you through here is the search functionality and the first thing that
you will see is a search bar at the top of the application from the search bar
you can start searching either for trail name or parks that are located near you
and once you want to start searching it will allow you to choose from five
options one of them will be all the second one is places the third one is
parks trails and lists on top of the search bar there is actually a filter
button to the left and once you will click it it will allow you to add more
criteria to refine your search and this search can be sorted by the best match
the most popular and the closest some of the filters or the criteria that you can
choose from are the difficulty which goes from easy moderate and hard and you
basically you can specify what type of trail you are looking for you can also
choose the length of the trail you want this hike to be five miles six miles 20
miles and on the same thing for the elevation gain
and this goes from zero feet up to ten thousand plus feet you can also choose
the rate in are you only looking for trails that are rated five stars four
stars and so on you can choose the type of activity you are looking for are you
looking for hiking activity mountain biking running backpacking and a bunch
of other criteria one of the filters that I usually find useful is the route
type if you want to choose between a hike that's out and back a loop or a
point-to-point once you choose all your criteria then you want to go ahead and
click see trails and then the search will return all the results in the area
that you are searching for returning all trails with the criteria that you are
interested in the search results can be returned in a form of a list and
basically this is a list of trails that include or give you a high level
information about the name of the trail the difficulty and the reviews the other
way to return the search result in the form of a map and that's by clicking the
map or list button to the top right and in the map it's basically going to show
you where those trails are located in comparison to your current location and
you can switch between a list view and a map view based on what you are looking
for so now we're going to go ahead and dive a little deeper to see what happens
or what type of information I have access to when I search for a specific
trail for the purpose of this demo I'm gonna go ahead and search for Emerald
Lake Trail so I'm gonna go ahead and choose the first option and always make
sure that it's located in the states where you are looking because trail
names can be repetitive and you can find the same name of the trail in two
different states or three different sites so always make sure that the state
is correct so as you can see there's a bunch of information here and we will
try to cover everything that we are seeing in this screen the first thing is
the name of the trail the level of difficulty which is moderate and then
the rating and as you can see here this trail is rated almost five stars as well
as the number of reviews entered by other people it also specifies the
location which he is Rocky Mountains National Park the little heart located
to the right is the actual going to allow you to add this trail as
a favorite trail right underneath that there are four buttons there is the
direction buttons the record button the share and my map when you click the
directions button you will have an option to either open this map using
Apple maps or Google Maps or you can copy the address to the clipboard and
what the direction button is basically your direction to get from where you are
right now to the trailhead and the start point of your hike the second button is
the record button and this functionality is going to allow you to record your
hike once you start or once you get to the trailhead
and by clicking the red record button the application is going to keep track
of your trajectory the distance that you covered how much time it took you to
cover that distance as well as you recorded elevation the third button here
is the share functionality and this functionality will allow you to share
the trail information with your friends and family using inner text message
Gmail mail or even airdrop if you are using an iPhone this is a great way to
share trails that you find interesting with your friends and family and the
last button here is my map and this is a great functionality because it shows you
the profile of your hike by specifying the distance that you're gonna be
covering and the elevation gain and I personally find this very important
because sometimes though the trail shows or seems to be short the elevation gain
can be very high and if you are well-prepared and you know what you are
getting yourself into then there is a higher chance for your
hike to be successful now the best way to understand the elevation change
throughout the hike is by holding the start of the chart and this will show
you this distance change the elevation as well as the grade of your climb and
as you can see here at the bottom there is a button that will allow you to
download the map layers this is not available on the free version of all
trades but I'm going to cover it once we start tackling the pro version
underneath these four buttons you will be able to see a high-level short
description about this trail the lens the elevation gain the route type as
well as tabs for what type of activities this trail is no
for and under the tax you will be able to see the view of the map which we
already covered when we check the my map functionality now if you scroll a little
bit down you will be able to see a detailed description of the trail as
well as some additional information on how to get there how to get to the
trailhead and the best routes to choose from additionally there is a section
about the weather to give you more information about the weather conditions
in the area are there any chances of rain or snow just to kind of help you
prepare and pack the necessary gear also find more information about the time for
the sunrise and the time for the sunset now scrolling down to my favorite area
here of the app the reviews and photos and this is really great because the
application is allowing people from the hiking and backpacking community to go
in and share their opinions and feedback once they finish the trail so you can
sort the reviews by either ultra sword the newest first oldest highest rated
lowest rated and so on so what I usually do is search for the reviews by the
newest first just to kind of see the people who were there at day before two
days before how was the trail how was the weather was it buried under the snow
was it well-maintained it was easy for them to find the trail
the first place so these reviews are very powerful
the second thing are the photo so a lot of people would go hike trails and then
upload some photos to the trail and once you see this picture it gives you a
better idea whether this is the type of things that you are looking for when you
go on your hike are you looking for mountains do you want to see a lake so
this is pretty useful and then the last one is the recording so just like I
showed you a little bit earlier people would share their recordings and how
much time it took them to cover the trail in terms of distance and elevation
with other people and so that will give you a better idea on how much time it
will take you to cover your hike so this is pretty much it for the search
functionality now I'm gonna go back again to the home page to cover a few
more things and the first thing is the favorite page as you can see here in the
bottom of the app and basically this is page where all the
trails that you marked as favorite are going to be saved and if you see mine
here it's showing the organ needles trail and these are basically just some
trails that I either want to add to my to-do list or trails that I've done
before then I like them so much that I'm marking them as favorites now and then
the other button here is the record button which is the same as the record
functionality that we covered a little bit ago the other thing will be the
history and so once you go to the history you will be able to see all the
trails that you recorded the trails that you completed as well as your statistics
how many miles did you cover the elevation gain and so on and so forth
and then the last button here is going to be your profile and basically this is
the area where you will find all information related to you including
your current location your first and last name your statistics reviews photos
if you downloaded any of them as well as the settings just to kind of see whether
you want to connect the app to other social media like Facebook you want to
connect it to Garmin to Apple health you want to make any changes to the map
downloads would you want to make any changes to default map layer and so on
now every time you are in the map it's going to show you or suggest that you
switch from the free version to the pro accounts and there are a lot of
adventures to use in the pro account the main one is the ability to download the
maps for online navigation because when you are hiking outside in the wilderness
there are higher chances that you won't have service and if you don't have
service you won't be able to rely on the maps that are provided by all trails so
the recommended thing is to download the maps offline for you to navigate and to
know how to get from point A to point B and this is the best reason or the main
reason why you would want to consider a pro account if you are relying on all
trails all the time when you are hiking then it's probably a good idea to invest
in a pro account and the annual subscription you're going to be paying
about two point fifty dollars a month and then if you want to subscribe for
three years it's going to cost you about one dollar sixty-seven for a month you
can either pay every month can Billy annually or for the three
years up to you and again this subscription is going to allow you to
download maps offline to your mobile and their bunch of maps to choose from I'm
not so great with maps but you can benefit from all these type of maps that
are listed here this is pretty much it for this application this is where I
personally use to get to and from places if you guys have any questions please
let me know in a comment and I will be happy to answer them if you found this
