Hike is an app that helps you keep track of where you've been on your hike. It provides you with distance, duration, and altitude statistics, syncing everything through iCloud to your other iOS devices. Hike allows you to record your journey, automatically turning off when you return to your starting point and then showing you your tracks on a map.

What is it about?

Hike is a fairly simple app, but it's complete enough for the average hiker. With this app, you can automatically record your voyage through the countryside, and the app automatically stops tracking when you return to your starting point. It records distance, duration, and elevation statistics, and includes widgets to display those details. It also integrates with HealthKit on the Apple Watch, allowing you to start a workout session that contributes to your Activity Rings. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide you with any downloadable maps like other apps do.

For those who...

Not for those who...

Want more features, such as downloadable maps
Don't care about keeping track of their hikes

Why we love it

Hike is a good way to keep track of your hiking workout, and it gives you spoken feedback as you go. You can drop pins on the map to mark important waypoints, adding a description for each marker as well as for the hike itself. If you follow a route that takes you back to your starting point, Hike automatically stops tracking when you return to where you began your journey.
