For years, Day 1 reservationists and early order holders have looked forward to a missing piece from the Bronco launch: the Bronco Trail App, formerly referred to as the FordPass Performance app.

Bronco Trail App – Ready for Use

Today is the big day. Ford is launching the Bronco Trail App at Moab Bronco Safari, and it’s available now in the Apple App Store and Google Play for free download and use. Prior to launch, the app was marketed for Mid Package Broncos and up. As of today, the Bronco Trail App’s FAQs state the app will determine if you have an eligible vehicle.

The Bronco-specific off-road app features approximately 1,200 professionally curated trail maps across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. It provides the ability to record drives with waypoints, photos, and video –– and lets you share your adventure on social media. Future updates will add more trails and features to the app.

From the developer: If the app crashes on you when recording, power off your phone, restart it, open the app, and leave it running.
If you force close the app, it will crash again when recording, and you'll need to do the power-off on cycle.

@Laura : I've sent a few emails to the Trail App support address (trailapp@ford.com) without ANY response whatsoever. Can you see if Ford will address its future in an upcoming BroncoNation podcast? The app has SO much promise and there are some potential directions they can go if they want to reduce investment in it. At a minimum can you find out if anyone even looks at the support emails any more? Its really disappointing that they made such a big deal of it, obviously had issues getting it to market, only to just drop into a black hole of response instead of improving it.

I'm sorry, @Badland-Badland-Mansquatch-ATX; Jordan is correct. Ford ended the app. And unfortunately, I have no insight into where those emails go.
