  • Stops when you’re still walking.

    I’m giving this app one star because you don’t have to login to start it. That’s easy and appreciated. However, as you’re running or walking it will just stop. I’ve tried having it in my pocket, carrying in my hand, doesn’t matter it just occasionally stops and then stops tracking. Also, the big numbers on the screen are how many calories you’re burning. To me that’s not important. What’s important is how far I’ve gone.

  • Not useful for me

    Started the app then went for a walk in the woods. Half hour later I opened the phone to see if it was working. No. Looking at the map, It just draws a straight line from the starting point to current location. No useful, since I cannot see the path I took.
    I presume the app stops tracking if you put the app in the background.

    Generally it's going to be tougher to get a good GPS signal in the woods. I'd recommend starting the app and waiting for a minute or two outside of the woods to get the best lock you can before starting your walk. The app works in the background, but my guess is you never got a GPS lock which would lead to the results you describe. Hope this helps.
  • I love the app

    I love the app because it keep track of my walk and that helps me to focus on walking and the recording is done for me
  • Great App until iPhone 11

    I have used this App for 3years and paid for the premium subscription. App worked great with no problems and I loved it and the data provided was accurate. Was using iPhone SE and just upgraded to iPhone 11 Pro. Now the data is extremely inaccurate. The distance/mileage and pace readings are WAY OFF !! Badly need UPDATE to App to fix this problem and make compatible with iPhone 11 Pro. Please fix this because this was a great App and I don’t want to lose it.

  • Worked Great at First

    I have used this app many years and it worked great at first. About a year ago the voice prompts quit working and recently it will not allow me to access the features in the premium version. It acknowledges that I have the premium version to renew Oct. 2020 but still does not let me access them. I have emailed a few times with no response. It is time to look for a new app and cancel this one.

  • these speeds and locations are not accurate at all

    Just to test this theory i put the phone down and let the app run its corse , The results showed not only speeds with movements but very distant locations from the actual location of the device itself . I would say it's not a big deal if we would be dealing with a couple of yds as a factoring error . How ever, with substantial errors of speed when there was non for starters . Indicating big errors on the analytic side .

  • Does not work

    I am so frustrated with this app. I can’t get it to work. It tells me to upgrade and after I did so, still I get the notification that I cannot record but five walks and no way to delete history. I contacted the help desk. I was told well it should work. Guess what? It does nothing. I can’t delete and reload. Nothing! Ok if this is my error I should at least have help understanding what the error is.

  • Great app but issues with premium

    This app works well for tracking walk and run times and distances. It is easy to use. However, I paid for the premium version with a yearly $4.99 subscription, and after a year or two I no longer have access to the premium features even though the app recognizes that my subscription is still current. I have sought help multiple times on the Vima website but have never gotten a response. Canceling subscription now.

  • Premium upgrade??

    I too paid for the premium upgrade but cannot use any of the features. It won’t let me record any more tracks. I had really enjoyed using this app for recording hikes, dates, times, locations but now it’s useless. Over a years worth of hiking data and I can’t use it anymore. I wish I could get an answer on how to fix this.

  • Perfect! But a problem

    I was looking for a simple gps app just to track mileage. This is really easy to use. Hit record, walk, hit pause, then decide to stop or save or keep going. Shows mileage, time, pace, and a map. Just right, exactly what I was looking for.

    Edit- I cannot find ANYWHERE how to delete history. I was prompted to delete history or upgrade with no way to delete, nothing in settings, no faq or help anywhere I could find, I did figure out that uninstalling and reinstalling works as a workaround. This is going from a 5 to a 1 until there is an answer

    You can delete by swiping left on a walk in history.
