The AllTrails app on a smartphone.

Since its launch in 2010, AllTrails has grown to become one of the most popular apps for outdoor enthusiasts globally, with more than 50 million people now using it.

The team behind the AllTrails app has just announced a new premium membership plan called “Peak,” designed to provide members with additional mapping, planning, and on-trail features.

As you’d expect from a premium membership tier, Peak features AllTrails’ most advanced features and allows for more customization — both during the planning stage and when out on a trail. 

AI-powered custom route creation lets you build a route from scratch, adding the start and finish points, as well as any places of interest that you want to drop by. When you have the bones of the route down, you can fine tune it via smart routing, which offers a list of options such as “make shorter,” “reduce elevation gain,” or “take the scenic route.”

Peak also includes detailed real-time and forecasted trail conditions — including weather and insect activity — along with a community heatmap showing trail popularity. An AI-based Outdoor Lens feature is also incoming, for identifying plants and trees, making outdoor adventures safer and more personalized.

“Our members trust us to keep elevating AllTrails so they can make the most of their time outside,” said Ivan Selin, chief product officer at AllTrails. “In building Peak, we developed the most frequently asked-for features from our community, infused them with fun, and powered them with the most advanced technology in the industry. The result is the only app you need for life outside.” 

Peak will roll out for select members in the coming weeks before becoming globally available with the official release of AllTrails’ 2025 Summer Update in June, the San Francisco-based company said on Monday.  

AllTrails’ new Peak tier will cost U.S.-based members $80 per year — more than double the cost of the Plus plan, which is $36 per year. 

It’s also set up a special webpage where you can learn more about Peak and also register for early access to upgrade.

Peak joins the previously mentioned Plus tier, and also the Base tier.  The former lets members explore offline, with access to downloadable trails and parks, and also includes wrong-turn alerts, 3D trail previews, and the ability to share trail activity in real time.

Base, meanwhile, is free, offering access to trail maps, community reviews, and on-trail navigation for more than 450,000 trails globally.

Pixel 11’s seven-year spare-parts promise could be perfect to ride out RAMageddon
Pixel 11 continues Google’s seven-year spare-parts support as phone prices climb

The Pixel 11 series has plenty of new hardware and software features to talk about, but one detail that stood out to me has actually been around for a few generations.

Google is continuing its seven-year spare-parts commitment with the Pixel 11 series, a policy it first introduced with the Pixel 8 back in 2023. It means batteries, displays, and other replacement components should remain available long after the usual upgrade cycle has come and gone.

Google’s hyped-up RGB HiLight on the Pixel 11 Pro had me excited for nothing
Google’s cleverest new hardware might also be its biggest missed opportunity.
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

I have been following rumors about Google’s new HiLight feature long before the company even announced its name. A few weeks ago, reports spoke about the feature as Google’s AI interface, something that glows when users speak to Gemini. 

Now that the company has wrapped the Pixel 11 launch event, everything’s out in the open, and one of the only two things it does is light up when you speak to Gemini. So, after all the speculations and build-up, Google’s big reveal is… basically the same thing we thought it was, and I have some strong thoughts about that.

Galaxy phones may finally get a basic privacy feature Samsung missed
One UI 9.5 could let you lock an app without jumping through hoops
Computer, Electronics, Tablet Computer

Samsung gives Galaxy owners an impressive amount of control over their phones. Features like Good Lock let users customize just about every aspect of their smartphones. But somehow, the company forgot to put a simple alaxy owners an almost ridiculous amount of control over their phones. Somehow, simply adding a fingerprint lock for apps.

With the One UI 9.5 update, this might finally change. Tipster Fahad Ali Javed has uncovered a native App Lock feature inside an unreleased One UI 9.5 build running on a Galaxy S26. So you would be able to secure individual apps directly from the app drawer without moving them somewhere else first. This could be one of One UI 9.5's simplest and most useful additions.
