    Tbf AllTrails saw a niche and jumped on it. It’s the first smartphone app that I’ve seen getting meat-space word-of-mouth advertising in years. Like before a few months ago I couldn’t remember the last time someone was like “hey you should check out this app” but it’s happened to me a couple of times now while chatting with relative strangers.

      That’s how I learned about Alltrails. Haven’t done much hiking yet so I haven’t subscribed, but I have it on my phone.
