Great for getting back

I Like Drawing Lines

I never write reviews. But this is literally the single best app of any sort that I have ever used. I use CityStrides to walk every street in my city, and the Apple Watch Footpath app is absolutely perfect for helping guide me through a lot of unfamiliar streets without ever using my phone. Other apps were prompting me multiple times per street, but Footpath has perfect turn by turn navigation and shows you the next 3 upcoming turns. There’s live breadcrumbs on the map, so I can see which streets I’ve already covered. There’s great Action Button integration, so I can start Footpath with one click and then toggle between the live map and the turn by turn instructions with a click. And on top of it all, it makes managing my music or audiobooks easier too by including media player controls. Great job Footpath team!

Incredibly handy app!

I purchased a subscription to this app because it was formerly considered the best hiking navigation for the Apple Watch Ultra. I imported GPX tracks from AllTrails, then used Footpath from my watch on the trail. Now hikes will no longer launch on my watch from Footpath, although I’m doing the same thing. I waited a month to see if they would fix it but they haven’t, so I cancelled my subscription, got one for AllTrails, and will be using their functional watch app for hiking navigation. It’s not as good as Footpath used to be on the watch, but it’s better than what it now offers - nothing.

Everything else that comes close in usability is behind a paywall

The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star, could be my own fault. Ending a run on my Apple Watch is always confusing. I’m never sure how to end it, and once I do, I’m not sure how I got there. Having said that, I love this app. I love creating my routes, I love the colors that show me the hard hills, I love being able to transfer my route to my watch, I love that most of the time the turn-by-turn instructions come through my Shokz (occasionally if my STRAVA- which never comes through my Shokz- announces my mileage in close time to a turn, footpath will announce through my watch, but then reset and come back through my Shokz). I’ll be going on vacation and I’m using footpath to plan my runs in another state. Soooo worth it! Thank you!

Nice app to plan running or biking routes ahead of time. Provides elevation stats to plan perfectly.

App isn’t consistent writing to Apple health. I like logging outdoor runs and walks with the app and love the outline of the route that shows on my watch at the end of a workout but I’m always afraid that my workout won’t save in health. I shouldn’t have to buy elite to export it later.

This app is very good at what it is intended to do (or at least what I intend to use it for). I just wish it had better integration with third party apps such as Strava. I mapped out a backcountry XC ski route in an area without signal and service with the intention of using offline maps and cue. It was very easy and intuitive to draw the route in my iPhone. transferring to my Apple Watch Ultra 2 for the offline map and cues was a breeze. It worked very accurately starting in an area miles away from cell service. I was able to run Strava in the background with a couple of swiping press of the buttons. This third party app takes advantage of what Apple has set up for developers to use to make the Ultra 2 compete with Garmin Epic and Fénix.
