What, in your opinion, is the best hiking app for Android, specifically for the United States? I'm looking for an app that:
* suggests known trails, with photos, rating, distance, difficulty level (steepness and such), views (waterfalls, lakes, hill country and such), and facts (good birding trail, wildflowers and so on)
* gives directions (preferably should work offline, because my phone signal is usually poor or non-existent on the trails I hike)

The ones I have heard of are AllTrails, Hiking Project, MapMyHike, Komoot and BackCountry Navigator, but please let me know of any good ones I've missed.

AllTrails is pretty good, but rather expensive. About AUD$36 a year, roughly. You can get pretty much the same (better in some ways) using Viewranger. Totally free and does pretty much everything. The only real difference to AllTrails is the social interaction, as Viewranger falls down in that department.
