About HikerBot APK
Table Of Contents
Description
HikerBot is the ultimate all-in-one app for long-distance trails, created by former and current thru-hikers. Hikers, trail angels, volunteers, trail-side businesses, friends and family, future hikers, or arm-chair hikers and trail enthusiasts will all find something useful.For Hikers:
• Most up-to-date trail and town data crowdsourced by thousands of hikers. See water reports, snow conditions, stream crossing water levels, trail angel listings, bus schedules, restaurant and lodging reviews, and more.
• Any user can add waypoints, photos, comments, update descriptions, and edit any content in the app, in real time. Think Wikipedia! All data belongs to the community and is not copyrighted.
• Download topo maps, road maps, and satellite images for offline use.
• Navigate using GPS while in Airplane mode. Everything in the app works while offline, after the initial data download.
• View elevation profiles and compute distances to locations along the trail.
• Order a resupply box (food, gear, maps, and miscellaneous items) shipped to any location on the trail. Browse our store and queue up multiple resupply orders from your tent, even while offline! Checkout when you are ready.
• Share your location (optional) and see where others are on the trail.
• See a real-time feed of contributions other hikers are making.
• Search the map by name or point type, search the activity feed by hiker name, location, or type of edit.
For Trail-side Businesses:
• Create a free listing for your business with information you'd like hikers to know.
For Trail Angels:
• If you are interested in helping hikers you can list your contact information and what you can provide (transportation, accommodations, help for injured hikers, etc). Inform hikers of any specific rules and set expectations.
For Friends and Family:
• Track the location of your hiker on the trail.
• Send a gift card hikers can use in our store.
For Trail Maintenance Crews and Land Management Agencies:
• See real-time hikers reports of trail damage, blowdowns, and infrastructure maintenance needs (e.g., washed out bridges).
For Future Hikers and Trail Enthusiasts:
• Explore and learn about the trail. See current photos, use the wealth of information and hiker reports to plan your hike and resupply stops.

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
2 ★Just sits at "Pick your Adventure" screen and says/shows loading. Edit... Just figured out that it won't load anything unless you are connected to WiFi. Came to update & see message from developer. App should be set to allow download over mobile data connection, especially on first start. There's no way to access settings until after you get the initial download of info, which only works if you are connected via WiFi.
2 ★I use mobile only (on the road) couldn't even download the trail list, developer responded almost immediately to my email about the issue even though he was on the trail. I briefly set up my wife's phone as a hotspot, then was able to switch settings. A fix is promised next week. App looks good so far.
3 ★The app is great but uses your data like crazy until you manually set it to not use data. The app used 1gb of my data in 5 days without being opened or used. Please fix the default settings. EDIT - The red slider icon in Settings for syncing over mobile should be changed to something that makes sense. The question is wether to sync over mobile. Two options on the slider are red and grey. Red usually means no.
5 ★What is the in app purchases permission for?
1 ★Hiker bot used to work, but with every update something else in the app would stop working. The newest update which I had hoped would at least repair some of the features has made it so I can no longer use the app at all. - PCT through Hiker Crafty
5 ★Super simple but comprehensive app for PCT Hiker.
5 ★There are a few apps out there for the PCT, this one is only getting better every day. The inventor and all the PCT hikers are what makes this app awesome.
5 ★Looks very promising. Simple interface, followed most of the guidelines.
5 ★Very thorough.
5 ★I've downloaded this app to do the PCT. It seems to give me the trail and the ability to download surrounding map titles for offline use. I should have read the manual. I think I tried to download the entire world. 20gb+ of data before I cancelled the download!! (Sorry.) You probably do not need zoom levels 2-22 either. Just sayin'. Maybe 6-16? Perhaps a more conservative default setting would be helpful? Any how, thanks for what you're doing. Cheers!
1 ★Never got the parent app work. Try the satellite apps independently. Theyseem to work okay.
1 ★Just doesn't work. Won't download, takes forever to open the map online. If off line it's really worthless
