TrailCheck v1.1
Arlo LeachAbout this app
Developer Description
Share weather, parking and trail conditions with the TrailCheck app.
• Parking: Is the trailhead deserted, or overflowing? When do you need to arrive to be sure you have a spot? How does the usage change on weekends and holidays?
• Weather: What's it like right now? How is that likely to change throughout the day? How much colder or windier will it be at higher elevations?
• Trail: Should you pack gaiters or microspikes? Will you need to deal with downed trees or overgrowth? Is a washout blocking the route?
TrailCheck lets you select a trailhead, or a specific location on a trail, to view current conditions. Or use the time filters to show averages for recent days or similar days to help predict what you'll run into.
Contributing to TrailCheck's database is easy. Click to submit a parking, weather or trail update and optionally select a location on the trail. Move a few sliders to show the conditions, and add comments if you want to share more details. You can enter updates from the trail, back at the trailhead or from home later. Every submission makes the app work better!
*** Note: TrailCheck is currently in an introductory period and is free to use. Eventually it might require some form of payment. We will notify users before introducing any pricing changes. ***
What's New
- Automatically loaded the last-viewed trailhead when the app launches. This makes it easier to submit multiple updates for the same trail, even when offline.

I am giving this app 4 stars because i think it's a great idea. And i will be following it's progress. My complaint/critique is this app doesn't give a tutorial, there is no real depth or reports to do with weather or human foot traffic. This could be very well developed if it were even more user friendly similar to the Waze model. But definitely long overdue for someone to make this happen.
I've been waiting for an app like this, too many miles in my car searching for an uncrowded trailhead. Needs to be populated then it will really shine.
once I got on couldn't write a review. tried to give a trail write up but couldn't.
awful! had to give up trying to even get into the app. The initial screen had a line to put your email address and register. Very first time using the app i put in my email address and password; and clicked register. Then site gave me an error message to log in. Put in my same email address & password and gave me an error message. i tried the same steps with my work email and those didnt work either. The app has no log in assistance or help link. So not sure how anybody is supposed to use this.
