    Looked at the title for this video, downloaded the app before watching the video. If it’s good enough for Our Abbie, it’s good enough for me 😃😃😃. Great video as well

    Hi Abbie .
    Well the hiiker app looks great , thanks for sharing , I hate the idea of getting lost, my anxiety levels hit the roof.
    I intend on walking the Cumbria way next week over the course of a week. My fitness levels are not good, I am very over weight but do believe I can walk 10 miles plus a day if broken up between rests.
    I have to push myself to make a change.
    Thanks again Paul.

    Thanks Abbie great video as ever 👍❤️will give this a try. Often seems to be said that SW coast Path is longest trail in U.K. but Wales Coast Path trail is considerably longer at just under 900 miles but somehow doesn't seem to get the same recognition! I can highly recommend it and will get this app for the remainder 150 miles of the trail I've left to do.

    I had no idea Hiiker was brand new. I downloaded it to help me plan the Tour du Mont Blanc. What I was not expecting was that the TMB map was available offline (I didn't buy it) and it was extremely helpful while I was on the trail.

    Funny but yesterday I noticed your entry for Rob Roy Way in Hiiker app when I was adding mine. :) I like the app a lot, especially the simplicity and lack unnecessary bells and whistles. The only thing I'd improve is remembering by app chosen filters.

    Hi Abbie I will look at this app but tbh I’ve used two of your videos to plan the west highland way and the ridgeway which I’m currently doing, so maybe I just need to use your videos to plan my long distance walks.

    Hi Abbie, thank you for making this video about the app. With your other video's you have inspired me to start walking. I live in the Netherlands and so I started a long distance walking path called Zuiderzeepad. I walk a few stages every sunday and I love it so far. After this video I downloaded the app and I am now using it for my walking and it's really helpful!

    • @anne-mariebreurkes-rood7044

    @EwanGoesHiking 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thanks for the recommendation Abbie. Really good app. The only thing I think they could do with improving is letting you change the amount of days needed for the hike as different people have different levels of experience, fitness and ability.
    Its a pity you haven't been given some sort of affiliate link from the makers of this app as you've definitely driven a lot of traffic their way with this video.

    Why does this app say 'Either you are not allowed to bring (it means take) your dog on the 'whatevever trail' or it is generally not advised' on every trail? In over 50 years of hiking I have never found a UK trail where you cannot take your dog.

    Downloaded the app and will check it out. Like the clean look and feel. I find really difficult to find the good hiking app. Tried many, many out there but they are either complicated, messy or lack features. Does it work offline and show you the way if you are not on 4G - like Guthook?

    • @HiiKER_global
      @HiiKER_global 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Hey Duca! Paul here from Hiiker. With the Annual Subscription (£14.49), it gives you access to offline maps for every trail. Everything on the app works without a connection then. The annual subscription gives you unlimited access to every trail on the app and access to our subscriber-only trails.
