Gunksapp is filling in nicely with more and more info and is getting closer and closer to being a true paper guide replacement. If looking for topos and other visual aids (as well as the handy GPS feature) then I would go with that, since it's specific to the area it sounds like you plan on frequenting the most.

I don't even see a gunks guide for rakkup:

The mountain project app is free, you could always try it first and see if it's adequate. If not, then buy an app. The Gunks beta is well moderated and organized.

If you're heading north to the ADKs I'm not aware of any app that will be a proper substitute for the ADK Rock paper guide. Mountain project has a lot of the ADKs documented, but it's incomplete.

Gunksapp is really the only game in town for phones and is excellent for the Trapps, far better than MP, especially if you don't know your way around.

It isn't complete, which won't be much of an issue until you've done lots of routes, and there is no coverage of the Near Trapps and Millbrook.

The GPS is potentially very helpful, though I haven't tried it out at the cliffs so am not sure how well it works.

MP app for the comments on gear and potential runouts.

Gunks app for the impossible to beat high def topos. Eager to see how the GPS thing is going to work. If it can get me to within 20m that would be great.

Rakkup has nothing worthwhile for NYS

For the Dacks you can't beat Adirondack Rock with a few helpful comments from the MPapp
