Comments on Footpath Route Planner for Android

★★★★★ Christina Grabowski · Nov 26, 2025
Excellent app! If you're looking for an easy way to create a walking route with a map and guidance, you found it!
★★★★★ R Dub · Jun 13, 2026
It's everything I wanted in a route planner for hiking. Simple and reasonably intuitive. The map itself is very accurate, and the GPS accuracy is excellent. (looking at you, Google Maps....) Being able to draw routes with your finger straight into the app saves having to map on PC and export to phone, although you can do this too. Elevation profile is awesome. Calculates time based on adjustable average speed. These are just free features, I will definitely look into upgrading this awesome app.
★★★★★ Steven Quinn · Apr 22, 2026
Great app, plot a walk/hike, it tells you a lot like how far etc. etc. Love it
★★★★☆ Alan Zube · Mar 31, 2026
A great way to plan a hike or other activities and map your progress. Works when Google Maps is useless or wrong.
★★☆☆☆ Kathleen Milby · Jan 7, 2026
Not very helpful. Had it on ios, and it was amazing, however on android it only allows me to plan one route then when I clear it to do another it won't work at all, the only way to fix it is uninstalled then reinstall.
★☆☆☆☆ Jarrod Loewen · Jun 7, 2026
A route planner that almost entirely ignores green ways and parks in favor of keeping you in traffic is of no use to me.
★☆☆☆☆ Meg dean · Apr 20, 2026
Does not do what the ad claims. Draw a pathway, and it absolutely does NOT show the proper trails. It says "Nice trail".
★☆☆☆☆ Jared Cárdenas · Jun 13, 2026
Not good for North Carolina. Recommendations are literally on the main roads without side walks but then again most of USA sucks for walking
