Comments on FarOut for Android

★★★★★ Nick Tucker · Jul 9, 2026
I'm currently on a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. This app is a must-have for thru-hikers. They all use it. There's no alternative. There are constant updates from the app, and through comments from users, on water sources, trail hazards, camp sites, towns, hotels/hostels, resupply locations and so on. Also, the maps are downloadable, so there's no need for cell service to use it. Absolute must have.
★★★★★ Justin Mullins · Feb 14, 2026
My absolute favorite app when hiking a trail. I love how easy it is to use and how I can read comments on water sources or find out any relevant information from hikers who have recently been through that area. New trails are becoming available all the time on this app.
★★★★★ Rock Esark · Feb 28, 2026
I use Far Out all the time to plan hikes and of course while I'm on the trail. Excellent resource.
★★★★★ Victoria Northrop · May 1, 2026
Excellent companion app for section hiking the Appalachian trail. Love that one can get updates from other hikers on shelter and water source status
★★☆☆☆ Ryan Fortenberry · Aug 5, 2026
This app is only good for one thing. Identifying POIs along a rigidly defined trail/route. The trail/route is defined by whatever guide you purchased. It annoys me to no end that this app can't handle planning a custom route where the start and end points are directly on the trail. It can't account for you wanting to plan a route to some refuge/hut not directly what is accepted as that trail, or plan for a rerouting, etc. Also, it's super clunky. I tried to rant more but ran out of characters.
★☆☆☆☆ Kevin M. · Aug 11, 2026
This company doesn't care that their app is putting peoples lives in danger. Companies like this need to be put out of business. This app does not show comments posted across platforms. If you have android you will not see apple comments and vise versa. I tried to talk to the company I sent 13 emails before they finally decided to respond at which time they said there is no problem. They never even looked into it. If you are on trail stop and check for yourself compare cross-platform comments
★☆☆☆☆ J Stevens · Jul 18, 2026
Buggy. Progressively worse year over year. Latest issue: The field to search for waypoints just disappeared. Updated the app. Same issue. Far Out doesn't even list a support email address or anything similar in the app or on their website. They only list it here on the Play store? Typical bug corp playbook. Past solution FO provided is "uninstall and reinstall". Why should I uninstall gigs of data and have to reinstall it?! Especially when I'm in town on an unreliable connection?
