Doesn’t work, very disappointing
Disappointing - I paid an 18 pound subscription for the year which is quite steep, only for the app not to work properly. I cannot see the map, it just tells me to upgrade, yet in the settings it says my subscription is active, so this is clearly not the case. I would like my money back. If you are going to sell something this expensive, then this app needs to work.

I really like this App. It’s really good for the ‘geographically challenged’ and provides a lot of confidence that I won’t be lost forever.
I would also say I’ve emailed a couple of queries to the WalkingWorld team and they’ve been excellent - really responsive, helpful and informative.

Very useful
A great app and so easy to use.
Any walking instructions that have changed are easily reviewed and changed if needed.
Used this all over the UK. It’s very good.

Monthly subscription option please
A monthly subscription option say in the region of £2 a month would be a nice option for casual walkers who only use the app every so often during nice weather or when taking a short vacation. The yearly sub price is too much when I may only use the app 3/4 times a year but would like to use the pro features.

Good app once you’ve found your walk
Have subscribed for several years and have always printed walks out. Tried the app but had to use website to find walk I wanted. Like to chose area, display on map have pick from there. Couldn’t see how to do this on app, or to check out route without downloading whole thing. The back arrow to go back to list is very tiny, difficult to tap on accurately with big fingers. Found my walk for tomorrow though which I’m looking forward to

App is great when it works
I have subscribed to Walking World and I find the subscription to be very fair and the service provided to BD good value, however, that is only if the app works.
Following the directions is fairly clear and straightforward but I have been trying got 3 days to download a particular search I am interested in and failed every time. I will have to go online and print it off which is not as convenient or environmentally friendly

Love it, but...
Since updating my iPhone to IOS 13, the maps stutter and lag when panning or zooming.
Brilliant - overall map please!
Forgotten had access to this and it is excellent except as I am searching for walks in an area I don’t know, it is really useful to see where they are in the area (as you can on the PC version). For example I was looking for walks West of Inverness, but searching for Inverness brought up lots of walks but I couldn’t tell easily (without exploring deeper) where they were in relation to Inverness (North, South or West).
Description of the walks themselves seem shorter than on the PC (and then printed) version, but will see how I fare when I use them!

Needs Work
I only tried the free version which allows you to download one map and keep it on your device for one week. You have to delete it to download another which helps wasting data on your device. Unfortunately you can’t even see a thumbnail of the route till you download it. The first I chose required availability of a ferry which is not reliable.

Fantastic site
WalkingWorld requires a subscription but is great value for money. It is great to have the addition of an app and it works very well. It is slow to download walks but once downloaded is great. I would have preferred it if walks weren't deleted after 30 days or there was some way to identify favourites so I could easily find and download when needed.
