Switching off the TV, getting outside in nature and exploring new places has proven benefits for mental health and this easy to use app has a huge amount of fans positive reviews in Apple’s App Store.
‘Whatever town I’m in I just look up what’s around and can go for a hike,’ praised one impressed App user. ‘Whenever I’d Google places to go there was NOTHING. Or very short and disappointing places. This app is great because it will give you direction right in the app instead of trying to Google Maps it yourself. You can map your route and GPS where you are to ensure you stay on track and don’t get lost.’
Another added: ‘I absolutely LOVE this app!! I hike alone 90% of the time and I love this for finding new trails, staying in trail and keeping someone in the know of my whereabouts. I love the pictures, reviews and recordings submitted by real people so I can understand whether it’s something I think I could handle or not.’
