Some Hiking app integrating brouter that users of Trail-Sense may already use:

• OsmAnd : One of the most complete and configurable offline map and navigation app. (open source)
• OruxMaps: navigation app focused on outdoors activities (proprietary, free)
• Locus: another navigation app focused on hiking, biking, or geocaching (proprietary, free)
• AlpineQuest : my personal favorite hiking app. Lots of features, light and battery efficient (use multiple raster tile maps provider instead of vector maps), and offline (proprietary, paid version)
• All-In-One Offline Maps : free version of AlpineQuest (proprietary, free)
• Cruiser: offline navigation app (open source)
• cgeo: famous Android geocaching app (open source)

All this apps externally integrate brouter, meaning that the brouter app must be installed, and they just call the exposed brouter services
