Boosting a community of around 60,000 million users, trail App AllTrails has claimed the title of app of the year.

Longtime user of AllTrails, ECU’s Professor of Exercise Medicine Rob Newton told Julie-Anne Sprague 6PR Afternoons the app’s popularity has taken off.

“It did start out as a niche app I think for people that were hard core hikers who like to get out in the bush and like to go for walks but I think more and more we’re having just the general public that have picked it up and find it a really useful tool to help them to get out there and do more exercise” Mr Newton said.
