Lost Weight
My husband and I use this app to walk together a few times per week. I've lost 8 lbs and he has lost 9 (grrr)! It's been fantastic for our mental health too. I have always been a walker, my husband less so, but this app makes it so much easier to walk consistently with a plan to follow. It also builds you up as you go. We are walking further and faster than a month ago. It has been helpful to see how far you've walked, how fast, etc. Looking back on how far you've walked in the last month has been very rewarding. It also counts your steps all day which I like to see. Some of my friends have a Fitbit, but why spend the money and worry about all thata when this app can do it from my phone? Overall your app gets two big thumbs up from down here in Georgia!
PS Our dogs Winkie and Floyd are also big fans of the longer walks we've been doing 🙂Show lesssarahbbbbbb3

That's wonderful to hear! 8 and 9 lbs is nothing to sneeze at! I'm so happy to hear about your amazing journey of weight loss through our walking app! Walking is indeed great for mental health, and I've felt better than I ever have in months using it myself. I'm not just the support desk guy, I'm also an avid user! We're proud of how our app can ease people into walking, and then guide them through the different levels of walking depending on how they are feeling! We think our guided walk programs are the best! I'm glad that our Walkster apps gives you all the benefits of other exercise programs and hardware just in the palm of your hand with your phone! Tell your dogs Winkie and Floyd that they are very good dogs and we love them. Thank you the 5 star reviews and stay walking!No projections
Unfortunately, the TikTok promoter says you can enter a goal weight and the app will tell you how far and how long it will take to get to said goal weight. Pretty misleading. Canceling after launching app and realize it doesn’t do any sort of thing like that. Thanks but no thanks.
In response to your response… well of course, it’s common sense. Yes. I understand the concept of walking may help with weight loss. Smh. I have other walking apps to track. Free apps. Thanks again.Show lessApple iPhone Lover

Hi There, Thanks for reaching out and bring this to our attention. While our application can have weight loss occur, it should be noted that while we mainly use Walkster as a means of walking fitness. As a way to get you up and motivated to walk! As means to track and share your walks with others. While, yes, weight loss can occur, and we do have plans to push for fat burning and calorie killing, we officially make no promises of weight loss due to the fact that everybody's body is different. I still think you should stick with the app, try our free walks (they're free) and get a feel for the app. I really think you're going to love it once you try it!Walk Before You Run-Lose it
I have been wanting for a while to loose weight by diet and a walking program. I saw this app and it was my answer!! I just love it!! A program was created for me by answering a few questions. I started to follow my program ( very easy to follow) and walking became not only something I have to do but fun. I get a great feeling of accomplishment when I reach my goals!!! New walking programs are added all the time so I never run of plans to complete each month. I most have completed 10 plans since I started using the app. I feel so accomplished which keeps me walking everyday.
I like the the warm up and stretches after all programmed for me as a beginner. I've shared the app with my friends and family who are now way more active then ever before.
This app will make my weight loss goal easier to obtain.Show lessGinger1084
Walking is the best
Was looking for a walking app that would help me start walking more again and help me stick with it. Need to lose some weight, but don’t want to run. Found this walking app. The walking plans are easy to follow and do everyday. I like that it keeps track of how far I walked and how many times a week I’ve walked. Makes me want to keep walking according to the plan and not miss a day. I’ll update my review as I start to walk more, but so far so good.
UPDATE:
I've done a lot of walking. Especially using the walking plans that Walkster includes. I think I've used a dozen of them. Huge variety of them. I've done Calorie Killer 2 or 3 times. These plan have help be lose the weight I want and keep it off! They recently updated the app and it looks better than it did before. Much easier to use than the previous version. The other great thing about this app is their support and instructions.Show lesstom11234567

We're glad the app is helping you lose weight. The goal of the app is to provide people with guided plans to make it easy to start being more active and sticking with-it which will lead to more happiness. You can also contact one of fitness trainers or physical therapists to help you even more. They are real people with lots of experience, not virtual trainers, that want to help. Feel free to contact support if you have any feature requests or ideas on how to make the app better. Thank you for downloading the app and taking the time to leave a review. Get Active. Reach Your Goals. Feel Happier!Great app for me
This app has been really helpful for me to get out and walk a few times a week. The biggest thing it has helped me with is weight loss. I have always struggled to lose weight around my hips especially. I tend towards a pretty sedentary lifestyle. I do love getting out in nature, I just find it difficult to motivate. Walkster has helped me get out more consistently and stay on track with walking plans that I actually stick to. I am definitely noticing a difference. I dropped all pant size which is fantastic (even though it’s a bit annoying that my pants don’t fit as well! Worth it!).
It’s also been really great for my mental health to get outdoors a few times per week. I already notice a difference in my endurance, and I feel a mood uplift as well. Like a brain fog has lifted. The warm ups, exercises and videos are very helpful. The app is easy to use and gives me lots of useful information and walk history. All in all I rate this app 5 stars.Show lesspeanutbutterfly333

Thanks for the great review! I'm so glad the app is making a difference. Being more active can lift a lot of fog. And will do amazing things for your health and body shape. Very happy to hear from people who are enjoying the app!Glitches
The app recently got an overhaul, and I preferred the earlier version. I have my voice settings set to announce every 1 mile. But for some reason it now ALSO announces every 0.13 mile. It’s so annoying and I can’t figure out how to make it stop…since 0.13 isn’t even an interval option for voice reminders.Show lesselle_L.
Walk the inches off.
This app has been a great help when it comes to tracking my process. The accuracy of the minutes per mile and the distance has allowed me to reduce 2 inches from my waist. It’s a wonderful tool for a consistent lifestyle.pushthru
Tracks my distance
All I wanted was an app to help me figure out how far I’d be jogging if I did x amount of laps in a designated circle. This let me track that… other apps just wanted me to use their workout plans.Sangtawon
Deceitful app, Free trial scam
I wanted to try out Walkster and decided to sign up for the two week free trial and then pay the $59 if I liked the app. But when I selected signup the charge screen said the free trial was only 1 week. I took screen shots so I know I’m not misreading. Why is the app switching the free trial time period? I was going to try out the app but decided against it due to the developers deceitfulness.Show lessRonniltd
Just track my walk
I liked this app and then there was an update. I just want something that will track the distance of my walk. No weight loss programs. No workouts. Just tell me the distance I walked.LKJ64
