Hiking App Recommendations for the Dolomites and Julian Alps

Hi. Any recommendations for hiking apps to use for the Dolomites and Julian Alps? Is AllTrails the #1 choice? Thanks.

Thanks History Traveler! I use Alltrails a lot, so looking forward to trying Komoot! I had never heard of it. Just downloaded the app!

The Club Alpino Italiano (CAI) has sponsored a new hiking App titled 'Sentiero Italiano CAI' now available in the Google Play Store. It shows CAI trails for the whole Italian peninsula overlaid on OpenStreetMap. The App is in Italian and states it will show the user's device location on the map. I've looked at an area I'm familiar with and the map will be very useful especially since one can follow by trail number. The resolution is not astonishing, but it seems at least as good as most paper maps. It's unclear if it will remain free to all after an introductory period or just to CAI members. In the Cinque Terre, the App does not seem as detailed as the Official Park Map App.

Most people I know use Alltrails or Gaia, heard Hiking project is pretty good too.
Make sure to check compatibility though, I've bought Garmin watch few months ago and I'm pretty sure Gaia wasn't working on it.
