Feedback on St Nectans glen walk.
The app is great, really accurate at keeping us on track or letting you know if you slightly go off course. Very helpful. We both said we’d have either not found the walk or got terribly lost without the app! The walk itself was average. The natural beauty of St Nectans in our view spoilt by the tacky naff shop, garden ornaments/statues, knickknack's in the area, really not needed as the waterfall itself is fabulous! They charged us £16 for 2 to walk down to see the waterfall, something surely everyone should be able to see not just those who can afford it? The quarry end of the walk was dull. There are a few changes to the path which I will let you know about also. Highlights were a beautiful sunny winters day, being out walking with a friend, the waterfall (although very expensive viewing of nature) and a beautiful ruin of an old Mill. Great app. Will look forward to trying other walks. ThanksShow lessCharlie a.k.a mr review

Thanks for the feedback. Obviously as app developers and walk authors, the prices of attractions in Cornwall are outside our control but I've added a link for the walk to the prices to make it easier to research in advance before deciding to buy that walk vs others. The cafe and toilets can be accessed without paying to visit the waterfall so I've also added a note about that, and to the dogs section that the cafe is dog-friendly. Thanks for the heads-up about the new fencing near Trewinnick.Maenporth to Budock Water
What an amazing app!!! iWalk Cornwall could not make their walls easier to navigate. Simply unbelievable.trish2808
Lives up to its promise!
Unlike so many apps that promise you helpful advice & guidance for walking, this one really delivers. We came across it by accident while on holiday and have used for two excellent circular walks that we’d never have worked out for ourselves. Love the way it tells you if you go away from the route - very reassuring (even if it’s intentional 😊)
Did find it a bit glitchy switching between the written directions and the map which was frustrating. And would be great to have a choice of pricing models - £2.99 for a single walk is really good value but over a week or two weeks’ holiday would add up very quickly, so having the option of a weekly or monthly subscription would be fabulous.
And would love to have a version for our home county of Derbyshire - SO many people would get such value from it in the glorious Peak District.Show lessJphill85

Thank you. We're sticking to Cornwall for the foreseeable future as an essential part of keeping the directions accurate is that we need to physically drive to each walk location and re-walk to the route on a regular basis to check and update the directions for changes to the path furniture and signage (which happens pretty continuously). (The pricing structure also follows from that as each walk needs to independently fund its own ongoing physical upkeep). If you have a moment sometime to give us a bit more info about what seemed glitchy in the switching behaviour from directions to map, we can see if we can capture some usability or performance tweaks for the next app release (either contact us on more options in the app if you still have it installed or apps@iwalkcornwall.co.uk will also reach us). Thanks again for taking the time to leave a detailed review. Kind regards, John.
