Feedback comments have been fairly poor, with users commenting on the lack of search functionality which prevents users from being able to find treks in their local area.

Personal Comments by Reviewer

I think this app is an absolutely brilliant idea with heaps of potential; however, it still seems to be somewhat in its infancy. I think that with future updates, we’ll be seeing a lot of extra content and features added to LiveTrekker because there is clearly a demand for an app like this.

As more users submit more treks to the community, it would be good to see a more dedicated search facility to help people find routes in their local area as well as internationally.
