If the op wants to stay with a single app, all trails with the sub should be able to do what they want. However, WorkOutDoors can import the route from AllTrails (no sub needed if using web version to create and export the GPX) and then you can set notification for being off the route.

Free options: Hiking Project, MAPS.ME, Avenza Maps (if you find free maps you need in the Store). I always “carry” all three, even when using a primary paid app. ... I use avenza maps, as it seems to be the most battery-efficient.

I use the paid version because I hike often enough in areas without cell reception that I like to have the downloads on my phone. If you know you will have good reception, the free version is plenty.
