AllTrails is a fitness and travel mobile app used in outdoor recreational activities. This app is commonly used for outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing and snow sports. The service allows users to access a database of trail maps, which includes crowdsourced reviews and images. Depending on a user's subscription status, these resources can be used online and offline.
AllTrails operates on a freemium business model. It is accessible through a mobile app or a web browser for computers. Users can access the app's advanced features via a subscription service called AllTrails+. [1]
Registration is required on AllTrails. Users can register via Apple, Facebook, Google or by manually entering their name, email and password. [2]
Once a user has registered, they will be able to search and explore trails, as well as read reviews for those trails left by other users. Upon arriving at a trail, a user will be able to see information about the trail, track their activity, or even add new trails to the service. Additional features are available but require users to purchase a subscription in order to access them.
