I just spent 3 weeks hiking throughout Arizona and Utah and this tool was excellent for planning my days but most invaluable when hiking some of the more confusing trails without a cell signal. If you've downloaded the trail in advance, then you are guaranteed not to get lost, and you even get alerts when you start to veer off trail. Love it.
There is an open source free alternative I have not used but for $18 I'm happy to continue to use AllTrails+.
I have only 2 beefs about AllTrails+ and hope they address these things in future updates:
1. In their information hierarchy, everything is a "Trail." Scenic drive -- that's a trail. Bike path -- that's a trail. Loop route combining 3 different trails -- that's a trail. This last point can get confusing when planning your day in parks where you have a lot of options for navigation -- such as out-and-back vs. combing the trail with others to form different loops. So the "trails" in the AllTrails app don't always correspond to the "trails" on your park map. A better information hierarchy could fix this.
2. There's no way to mark a trail as temporarily closed, or as having open/closed schedules. Many parks and trails are only open seasonally. If a park is closed from, say, October through April, the Alltrails community will gradually mark all of the trails in that park as closed beginning at some point in October, and then when April comes around, they will all still be marked as closed until the community gets around to submitting corrections.

Apple has been mixed with maps. Horrible launch. Poor revisions for years. Then one day they got their crap together and made Maps good. But that took them years. I wonder if they will have something dedicated to hiking like this is right from the start. I am skeptical.
Worth supporting if you hike at all or use their app more than a few times a year.

And if one day they make roads out of cotton candy, of course well need to develop a new navigation app for that.
