Footpath Route Planner App Reviews

Awesome app. Intuitive and easy to use. Integration with fitbit or another GPS based running app would be ideal, but the app as it stands now is still fantastic.

Just getting back to walking after knee-replacement surgery. This app helps me plan a days rehab walk, allowing me to plot a route from home or in another neighborhood to fight the boredom of always walking the same streets.

Easy to find, name and save hikes, bikes, runs. Easy conversion km/mi. Fairly easy to use. Money well spent. Thanks!

Havent bothered to look for any other run mapping apps, because this one is so easy to use. Nice for quickly figuring out different route changes can add/subtract mileage too. Highly recommend!

Easy to use. Recognizes lots of trails and will snap to roads but lets you draw your own too. Great for pre-run route planning or post-run distance calculating.

My favorite. Easy to use, and works almost amazingly. The eccentricity is its penchant for taking unasked for sidetrips. I can draw a straight line on a straight road, and it will somehow draw several sidetrips. For free! Then theres the nutty intro guide each time you start to draw a route. Every time, as if you cant remember from one minute to the next! Amazing!

I LOVE this app. Dont have any idea how I managed without it. Especially being new to an area, or someplace unfamiliar.

I am a triathlete so I run and bike using this app. Whenever I get bored with the same running or riding routes, I can create a new one using footpath designed for the mileage and elevation I want to achieve. If it is hard to remember, I use it to create a new route with Strava or Ride With GPS for turn-by-turn directions.

This is great for planning my backpacking trips. Please make a desktop app!

Simple, easy to use. Best of all, it works like its supposed to work.

For a paid app, I should be able to type in the distance I want to run and choose from routes. Nope. Not with this app. Also, what is up with the crosshairs that pop up, rendering the app essentially useless? How do I make that go away?

Works great, now that theres a save button its even better

Disclaimer: I went ahead and paid for the full package so this is an evaluation of that feature set. This is an outstanding mapping ap. I use it to create and save routes and purchased it specifically for that feature set. Unlike traditional mapping aps that will create a route for you but balk when you want to create an alternative, Footpath shines when you want to create and save your own routes. And it works great with my phone. The tools are easy to use and the range of mapping options is impressive. Select your mode of travel (car, bike or walk) then choose which map you want. Its easy to switch maps and I routinely switch to the USGS topo maps. The draw feature works well and the only time Ive had problems were when I forgot to switch modes like the time I was trying to get a car map but was in bike mode. Footpath wouldnt let me ride my bike on the Interstate. Or when a particular map didnt recognize a tunnel. Trying to chart a ride around Tahoe required switching from the Auto map to the USGS topo map to go through the tunnel. The elevation feature works very well. Scrub your finger along the elevation chart and a dot on your route shows where that elevation change is on the route with each mile or km marked along the path. Sending a quick map of a proposed route to a friend is easy and Ive used this feature repeatedly to help plan bike routes for rides with friends. The full package allows me to save routes and recall them at will. Im a map geek and this my favorite mapping ap for creating routes hands down.

It is reliable and accurate. Its fun to map out a route then follow it. I would give it a 5 rating if it would have way points and would keep the screen on when following a recorded route. I use and like it.

LOVE this app! By far the BEST app for routing motorcycle routes for poker runs or just to ride. This is my go to app! Cant say enough good thing about it!

I love this idea. Im trying to make this my toto riding/walking. I wish I knew how this could integrate with my mapmyfitness or even maps app so that after I create a route, it could give me voice and visual cues and guides. Great start though. Thank you

Its great that I can plan my route! However, when I am running, I keep my iphone tied around my arm and cannot see the route, and this may get me off the route (if I dont remember it). Would be better if there is at least some notifications to the users who forget the route and get lost.

This is a very nice and helpful app. I use it a lot, works well. I upgrade to the paid version.

Like the app, great to be able to draw out my routes for running n biking as I dont wear a gps watch.

Works amazing for planning out my run and the distance I need to go. Love it! Highly recommend!
