Walkmeter app, 2 thumbs up
I have been using Walkmeter for about 3 weeks. It allows me to track the route I walked, distance, walk time, pace, and calories burned. It is an outstanding tool to track daily and historical progress. I am still using the free version. Adds are not a nuisance and I surmise the premium version has more useful features. I may upgrade in the future but for now I am enjoying the functionality and support that Walkmeter brings to my walking routine.

Elite is worth it for the price
I recommend the app I have solved most of my issues with it. It has a steep learning curve but the payback is that the app has helped me increase my pace and raise my heart rate.
I have had my frustrations and still have not solved all my issues. This app is hugely ambitious and it certainly has to appeal to walkers with OCD. But the price is reasonable so I can endure some learning curve. Still reluctant to start the app on my Watch. But I can start it from the phone okay. It took a while to figure out how to get the heart rate to show but it does work. I figured out how to edit route names. I figured out how to get announcements. Still working on fine tuning that. My greatest interest is in keeping cadence. Still looking for strategies to maintain a high cadence. It is easy for it to flag.
Old review: Very frustrating. I upgraded to elite but the Applewatch app was already installed. Little did I know that I would have to reinstall it on the watch to get the elite features. One workout lost. It stopped twice during my walk. Was it something I did? Restarting it is challenging with a sweaty finger. I am a pretty good troubleshooter but not when I am power walking. I have tried renaming a route. The instructions say it is possible. Yes but try to do it. Features galore but hard to use.

Upgrading to Elite on your iPhone should have automatically updated your watch app to Elite as well. Sorry to hear you ran into trouble with that process. If you need help with your setup, please reach out to support@abvio.com anytime.
My Fitness Conscience
I love this ap. it has become my coach and my conscience. Being able to track and record my cycling activity is the greatest incentive in keeping me on my bike and off the couch. I strongly reccomend this app to all my fellow grey pony tailed friends who are looking to squeeze as much joy as they can out of every step stride or pedal.

Great
Have had a subscription for a couple of years. Got a Apple Watch 5 in January and can’t seem to see a map in apple fitness app after a cycle ride. Not a big problem as it always records in Walkmeter.

My Running Partner
I’ve been using this app for several years and I love it. I’m a basic user, but I still find it critical to my running. It’s so important to know your running distance & time and the app does a great job in letting me know exactly where I am and how long I’ve been running. I highly recommend.
Calorie accuracy questionable.
From what I can tell the app does pretty good at tracking mileage and keeping time but the calorie counter seems a bit off unless it’s the other app I’m using that’s off. I feel like this app has me burning twice as many calories in a day than the other app I just started using. This is important to me because I use this information with my diet and it’s hard to know how many calories/carbs I need to intake if I don’t know how many I’m burning.

Response from developer
Je suis heureux d'apprendre que vous appréciez l'application. Merci pour votre commentaire.
One of the most useful apps ever!
This may be just be my fave app of all time given how useful it is. So many handy features. I especially love that it shows you a map of the route you took. It’s never glitchy. You can save all kinds of data. And these are all free features. I will prob buy the paid plan bc it’ll be worth it.
Just the best
Brilliant app

We are glad you like the app! Thank you for sharing your awesome review.
Perfect app to track walks!!
I use this to track my walks. I like that it tells you the miles/km rather than steps (like other apps)! It tracks your route and saves it and gives you really handy detailed stats like average speed and calories burned. It even breaks it down by mile and you can pause the tracker if you are stopping. Really recommend. :)
