EasyTrails: iPhone app review

May 24, 2010

EasyTrails GPS, an iPhone application designed for outdoor athletes looking to trace their tracks and record their stats. No matter what the activity is, EasyTrails GPS from Zirak S.R.L., promises to make it a “unique and easier experience”. Let’s see how it functions, EasyTrails GPS is made to provide only the relevant data that matters to you as an athlete. If you go for a jog, the app will record how fast, how far, and long you jogged for. You can even log your records and, best of all, view your trails from a perspective that resembles a satellite view. If you like, you can receive an audio alert when you reach your destination or something.

After knowing the app better, i got the whole point of as to why EasyTrails GPS won the 2009 award for Best Outdoor Use App.

The attractive user interface and navigation is so simple, that it makes you want to use this app, even tough you’re not going for a walk or jog. Of course, the app doesn’t require much of any hands-on involvement during your physical activity, so there are no absolutely distractions while you’re doing your stuff.

And in case you’re worried about battery life, the app will record your activities while your iPhone is on standby. In fact, it works like a charm in this fashion. And that’s a welcome factor given how athletes try to preserve their own batteries let alone their cell phone batteries while out for a long day of physical activity. This is a must-have specially for all the athletes out there!
