Top notch walking App.

Plenty of walks for every one. some walks easy some not so easy, but a must have walking companion in your pocket.

Sadly not as good as it was, full of bugs

We travel a lot around the UK, and walk 1000s of miles a year. This app always used to be our go to for finding walks now sadly it seems full of bugs.
Desperately needs updating, such a shame as at was brilliant. There are lots of great walks loaded onto the app, when it works it’s great but of late it’s been less responsive & spent more time down than working.

Amazing App !

Oh my goodness this app is perfect
The directions and pictures along the route are so so helpful and accurate
This has been the best find for working out good local walks with clear instructions
Never had an issue with signal so far

App orientation

Please can you make the app display according to the orientation of the device in use. When I use my iPad, with attached keyboard, I am always in landscape, but in order to use your app I have to twist my neck and it is unsustainable. It can’t be a difficult job to rotate the app when viewed in landscape - most other apps do it.

Really good app

I have used this app for several years and many walks. The directions are usually clear and helpful and a bit like those you find on the OS walks guides.

A couple of things - I always print the route out as the app won’t work if you are in the areas with no mobile coverage (or that is my experience anyway). When it does work, which is most of the time tbf, the map feature with the GPS position on it is very useful. It would be even better if the direction you are headed was shown - as in Google maps - by an arrow or “fan”.

Very useful app

Very pleased with the app & the walks so far. I’m 74 & lead a small informal group, similar ages, and the walks give useful photos & actual photos & experiences. Thank you

Fab walking app

Really useful to find walks in an area. Easy to follow directions, clear pictures and really good that you can check where you are on the map and see quickly if you’ve gone wrong

Clunky app and expensive

Very clunky app . Looking to join at £18 pa which I thought was expensive compared to OS only to find its £2.49 per month. One walk I did ran from car park was circular and 6 miles but finished nearl a mile from car park. Nice idea but app needs updating walks reviewed and tidied up and priced to encourage casual users. I will stick with OS maps and internet search for walks.

Offline mode needs serious attention

Used the app yesterday to do a walk in an area with little mobile reception. Half way through the walk went to get directions from the ‘saved’ walk but the app just presented a spinning wheel, apparently trying to authenticate via a mobile signal that wasn’t there. This is potentially dangerous. Don’t rely on the app alone, you still need a print out and a map.

Waypoints images way too small

First impression... It looks like there are loads of walks near me - excellent. But why on Earth are the way point images sooo small? Why is it not possible to double click an image to see it full screen? And a brief walk through tour for new user might be a really welcome idea. So far 2/5. Change the way point image display size and it may be a 5/5
