onX Backcountry Hiking Trails App Reviews

Great way to find routes and get there

I really appreciate so far how easy the app is to use. I have used other applications that were much more complex and I really appreciate that onX has full features while being very easy to navigate with.

Saw an ad for this app on Facebook. Said you could find dispersed camping spots on it. But it is not an option to find as a "layer", you rather must type "dispersed camping" in the search.

Bummer not for me😕

Enjoyed using this app more than any other app to location hiking trails and campsites

Super fun app that makes it easy to visualize routes with a lot of important data

Haven’t gotten lost since I found this app. Highly recommend!

Wonderful little app for all my outdoor adventures and travel.

Able to import KML files and save. Awesome app.

I've tried everything and there is literally nothing better than x backcountry.

Great app, very helpful tools, good image quality and I feel that the Price is reasonable. 100% recommend for any outdoor enthusiast.

Offers tons of details to make any journey a safe one. Thanks OnX! Also, shout out to Dan Becker who put me on

Not just your average gps / map! The clearly marked backcountry runs and uphill tracks make jt a must have resource for anyone exploring new areas.

I have tried using almost every app out there that provides a map resource, and always find myself coming back to OnX. It is by far the most reliable and user friendly system.

Great app I love the interface and it's easy to use.

OnX backcountry is the best hiking app in the world! Don’t risk your life with inferior apps.

Been backpacking for over 40 years And find this the best tool I have ever used

Great for seeing private and forest boundaries when exploring, love the hybrid mode with Topo and satellite…Customer service has been 100!

Offline maps work great Online maps work even better

For context, I haven’t purchased a membership. Since mountain project was merged with this app, it seems great to use as a climbing guidebook as long as you have service, but when I lose service I can’t access the content/pictures of any climb (on downloaded maps) which is the most necessary information besides the location. Does this change with a membership or will I still not be able to access pictures and descriptions offline?

I’m still trying to figure out how to use all the features but there’s a lot. lol

Great app! The rest are not even close.

This app is great. Love the interactive features of the map when I’m planning and executing in the backcountry. Also love the onX hunt maps. Game-a-changer.

Dope, offline maps, slope angle, slope aspect, and snotel data

So far it is a great app as more people use it, it will only get better

I’m finding this app great for my bushwhacking walks. Helps track distance traveled and find my way through rough terrain. I also can mark interesting places in the forest like good wild mushroom habitat and backwoods fishing spots.

For a casual hiker seems kinda useless. It doesn’t include a lot of local trails that I use. Also didn’t have a trail I was looking for while visiting upstate New York. Had to use AllTrails again (Free btw). I like onX hunt but this app falls short of its usefulness for me.

I truly wanted to use this app as my main mapping / GPS app for all things in the mountains, but the app doesn’t offer 3D maps mode for downloaded offline maps. If 3D maps aren’t available for when you’re actually out in the backcountry using the app, why use it instead of other competitor’s similar apps that do allow 3D offline downloaded maps?

Other apps are easier and just as complete with data.
