It’s adventure time!

With brighter weather on the horizon, it’s time to go and explore the great outdoors.

We’ve found the best new apps, all available on your mobile device, to help you embark on your own adventure, no matter where you live. ● Apps are available to download on Google Play and the Apple App Store

1. Alltrails

Whether you’re an avid mountain biker, hiker, cyclist or simply love just a good walk, Alltrails is a staple app you need to have on your phone.

In the UK alone, Alltrails has collected over 20,000 stunning hiking routes for you to explore, as well as the best hotspots to go mountain biking and climbing in the great outdoors.

Plus, you’ll never be lost in the wilderness either, as the app tracks your movements in real time and provides you with accurate directions, too.

So, don’t be afraid to go off the beaten track!

2. Life360

Letting your kids go out and about with their friends for the first time can be a huge worry. After all, you never really know what they’re getting up to, or where they go.

But by downloading Life360, you’ll be able to keep track of all your family members at once if they have the app, too.

You can create a circle with all your family members added into it and see their movements in real-time on an accurate map.

This works perfectly if you all don’t have the same mobile device with location tracking enabled.

Plus, Life360 has driving safety and crash detection notifications, so you can have peace of mind when your loved ones are driving home.

3. Playsee

If you’re craving a dog-walking route, or fancy trying out a new restaurant, then Playsee is your guide for all things local.

With an in-built AI guide, you can simply ask the app for recommendations – whether that’s the best hiking routes, cafes or parks in your area.

Plus, you can share your experiences, too, passing on your top choices to your neighbours.
