  • Works good

    App designers fixed all major issues, it now works smoothly, stops tracking after each use, saves consistently. Impressive for a free app, with excellent responsiveness to consumer questions and suggestions. Go for it!
  • Most of the times, the ads are impossible to exit and a lot of the times, the walk does not save.

    Most of the times, over 50% of the time, the ads won’t exit. Usually the candyland visually assaulting and frantic game ads. You have to exit the app, turn off phone and hope. Then, even when you hit save, the walk route/event doesn’t save so jo record of it happening. VERY ANNOYING
  • Not what I need

    This app has lots of things I don’t need, and isn’t great at tracking what I do need. I was basically looking for an app to track my walks/runs, not to lead me through a fitness routine. Foolishly I didn’t cancel before the trial period so I ended up paying for it so I’m trying to make the most of it. I just went to check my progress since I started recording runs in June. I am extremely disappointed that it only stored my runs for the last 4 weeks! I cannot find the missing runs. I’ve also been frustrated with the app stopping the tracking while I’m in the middle of my run. I’m sure the motion of my phone in my pocket is causing this but it shouldn’t be this easy for the tracking to stop.
    It’s probably a great app for somebody but definitely not for me. I wish I’d never spent money on it.

  • Step counts off, buys apps w/o permission, drains battery

    Walk same 1 mile routes weekly. Large inconsistency in step count reported , varying from 2500 to 3500 steps/mile. Purchased apps without my permission, and had to call carrier to have charges reversed. Can’t turn off the ap after use, and it rapidly drains the battery. You need to shut the phone off to turn off the ap. Needs a lot of fixing.

  • Just joined

    I feel the guidance is really beneficial since I am new to a regimented workout program
  • Wish I could give it a Zero!

    I’m surprised that the trail membership does not give you a better experience. I’ve been using this app for about 5 days now, and I have to fool around with it at least 10 minutes before I start my walk. It never picks up the location on the gps, it never shows me the route I’m taking.... it’s nothing like what was promised. Although I signed up for the year membership after the trial period, I’m canceling now. Total waste of my app space on my phone!

  • Walking

    I love how I know exactly how how far I’m walking the time I do it in and everything my body is doing in the process! Love this!!
  • Calorie Counter Stopped and 0 was Recorded at the end of a 5 mile Walk

    I am new to this app and only on my 5th workou walk. The calorie counter stopped after one of my pauses and after walking over 5 miles the calories burned at the end of the workout is 0! Unbelievable and I am extremely frustrated as this is the furthest of all my walks. This is the second walk this has happened. The calorie functionality is basic and there should be no glitches at this point. I am unhappy with this app for this reason.

    Developer Response

    Hi. The issue with calories going to 0 has been resolved. Please update to the latest version. Thanks.
  • In app purchases

    Several things are listed here but impossible to find on your app. Can I select legs and arms with walks if I subscribe? Where are the subscription options (like annual)? Why did you make it so user unfriendly? I sent an email. Would love a reply. Somewhere. Won’t recommend this until the support improves before buying.

  • So far, it’s great!

    I needed something simple to monitor my walks; to count my steps & calories burned ...& this app does that, but it also maps out my walk & saves my progress.
    It also asks me if I want to warm up b4 & after my walk.
    Additionally, when I walk away from my wifi connection, it doesn’t shut down.

    & if you have to stop intermittently to stretch, that’s ok too!
