Your hikes. Your trail journal.

Plan your own route, stay oriented along the way and keep the whole hike afterwards. Your route, photos, notes and reached summits stay together in your personal trail journal. Save the map and important trail data before you set out so they remain available without mobile reception.

The summit book

All the summits you have looked down from.

When your hike takes you over a summit, Above automatically adds it to your summit book. Each summit stays connected to the hikes that took you there.

The hiking map

Navigate and record on the trail.

On the map, you can see where you are and what lies ahead. Above shows summits, huts, water sources and other useful places, along with detailed information about the terrain and difficult trail sections. As you hike, Above records your tour and warns you about severe weather or when you stray from the planned route. Your route and all important map information remain available at all times, even without mobile reception.

Ready before reception disappears.

Above is your trail journal, not a social network.

Your tours, summits, photos and notes stay on your iPhone and, if you choose, in your private iCloud. Above has no public profile, no feed and no likes. You decide whether to share a hike and who to share it with. Your data belongs to you, not a corporation.
