I was looking for something that would show me the trails closest to Lisbon with easy to medium difficulty. I have Komoot but I'm not sure if it's the best, or if there's something simpler and more up to date. Does anyone use an app they'd recommend?
Don't fall into the trap of thinking the most famous app is always the best for your specific situation. Komoot is really good, but if you want something more streamlined and focused just on finding trails near you without a lot of fuss, try Wikiloc - it has a huge database of routes shared by the community (lots of people in Portugal use it), it's pretty simple to navigate, and it shows difficulty and distance right away. The advantage is that you can see reviews from people who've already done it, so it's easier to pick a trail that matches your level the same day.
Have you really explored Komoot's features properly or did you find the interface confusing? Komoot is pretty solid for that, but if you want something simpler, AllTrails is straightforward - it shows trails nearby, filters by difficulty, and has a lot of people using it in Portugal, so the data tends to be up to date.
Komoot is really solid, but I think you're missing a detail - it lets you save trails offline, which is great for using in Lisbon without burning through your data! now if you want something more straightforward and less feature-heavy, AllTrails works well for filtering by difficulty and distance, pretty intuitive actually. but real talk, the tip nobody gives is using Google Maps with the "hiking" filter - seems kinda obvious but people sleep on it, and a lot of smaller trails aren't on AllTrails and show up there with reviews from local people, makes a real difference!
