Obnoxious Ads, Inaccurate
I realize the free version is funded by ads but these are so obnoxious and in-your-face that it makes you not even want to use the app. One even boasts about how obnoxious it is. Besides that I have found it to be quite inaccurate and cluttered with unintuitive information and options. I bought an earlier version and was pleased with it. The new version suffers from feature bloat. The best designs do one thing well.

Walking companion
Easy to use very informative and keeps a check of my daily walks also stores in history so I can check what time is needed to do a particular walk on any given day
Response from developer
We are grateful to be a part of your daily routine. Thank you for choosing us to be your walking companion.
Great app. I do have a suggestion for a new feature.
Walkmeter is a great companion while hiking or walking. One thing that would help me when I challenge myself on routes is to have color coding of my route on the map for speed. I can then easily see where my pace can improve and where I am challenged.
Ads
Used to love this app. I have the paid version but lately I have been plastered with ads while trying to use it which is quite frustrating. I unsubscribed from this app due to getting the ads on my screen all the time.
Update
Developer reached out and walked me through removing the ads.
Thank you.

Distance Wrong
I had an Apple Watch for Xmas and wanted a good app for tracking my walks. I have had Cyclemeter and Walkmeter for years but only used them a few times. I paid for the premium subscription to Walkmeter as I liked the look of it on the Apple Watch. I don’t know why but the distance it shows is all wrong. I look at my watch and it says 1.2 miles covered. I walk another 200 metres and the distance jumps up to close to 2 miles. I’m not sure why but the distance covered is totally inaccurate so a waste of time. I will definitely not be paying for premium again

Walkmeter
Tried other ones before, this one is superb! Easy, versatile and accurate. I’m using it mainly for exploring rivers when fly fishing. My wife has access to it so it’s reassuring in case of me having an accident or getting lost. I had very professional advice through the Abvio help line, Fran Taylor was outstanding. I upgraded to the Elite version which is very reasonably priced. Many thanks, Stephan.

Thanks for the excellent review!
It quite there
I have been using RunKeeper since that is what Canada Army Run uses. It takes forever to sync. How is WalkMeter, now that I have an Apple Watch? Quicker, but why do they use the phone to relay info? It is bundled in my parka, so I never hear the info. There's also way too much info in small print on the watch. Swipe swipe swipe to get what I want.
I'm back to RunKeeper, where everything is on one screen that I want to see. Now if only they can sync quicker!

If you would like to give Walkmeter another try, we would be glad to help you get it working properly. You should have no trouble recording your workouts using only your watch without needed your iPhone. The watch screen is small, but you can customize the display to show larger fonts in needed. Please contact support@abvio.com if you would like help with your setup.
Walk Metre
So easy to check your walks

Thanks for leaving your review for us. We appreciate the feedback.
Nice App
I’ve been using this app for a few years now. It does what I am looking for. It could use a few features I’ve seen in other apps, like the ability to share your workout via messaging. One of my favorite features is the ability to trim the distance. That is useful when you sometimes forget to push Stop until you drive back home!😳🤪 I’m looking forward to reaching my 1000 mile walking milestone next year!
