Disappointed
I purchased this app and convinced a friend to join. The first 2 weeks were good. At the end of the month I even exceeded my goal. Multiple times mid way through my first month I asked various technical questions about adding the app to my phone. There was replies from those participants and Joyce(the developer) when I stated those suggestions weren’t fixing the issue I was asked to send a screenshot to the developers email. She has yet to respond. After 3 weeks of no response I wrote on the general chat page my issue. No one responded! So I deleted the app. What a shame, frustrating and disappointing!

Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment you encountered with our app. We genuinely value your feedback and are committed to addressing your concerns to improve our services. We would love a chance to make this right and would be happy to help try and troubleshoot your issues directly. Please email admin @ 99walks.fit and we will see if we cannot make things right.
Community Incentive with solo reward
What makes 99 walks effective is that walking alone doesn’t have to be. One could choose to walk with a team or other single by adding a walk you are making a short time commitment to complete just that walk. Over time your walks add up to the goal you set and a lovely bracelet with the monthly affirmations arrives at your door saying thank you for committing first to yourself, then to the team and always to walking. Great system, tell your friends

Love the product, app has issues
I really wish the company would invest more on the tech side of things, because the user interface is just so flawed. There’s a ton of great classes but you literally have to scroll through each one to see them all (even thought there are misleading “see all” buttons that don’t function). There’s no way to filter them, either. Class teachers are forever plugging the radio function and I haven’t once gotten it to work and so will get stuck mid-walk with no music because that particular class relies on the radio. That there’s no Apple Watch connection just seems Iike a messy oversight.
I’ll stick with it because the content is so, so good but please update this app to be functional. Even at 80%.

Saving my life
I am a type two diabetic with high cholesterol. I know I should eat right and excercise. I buy equipment, and gym memberships and go to classes and meeting but still even though I have literally thrown away hundreds or more like thousands of dollars it was not until 99 walks did I get off my Bum and start moving. 99 walks is saving my life one step at a time.

Changed my LIFE(style)
I joined 99 Walks in July 2020. I started out with smallish monthly goals, walking a mile in about 20-22 minutes. Now, I set realistic goals each month. I walk about a 15-minute mile. I have more energy. I’ve lost 50 pounds since I started. I look and feel amazing. The app is a helpful tool not just for tracking. Classes and community keep me interested and motivated. I love the podcast too! 99 Walks has changed my lifestyle and my LIFE! Completely worth the investment.

Love this group
If you’re getting bored with walking, don’t quit. Try this group first. With all of the options available as well as the encouragement & positivity, you’re sure to deepen your walking practice, particularly if you take up Jetti Walking & participate in the Jetti Instructors Program 👍
Motivation I needed
I signed up for this when I cancelled my gym membership, because I never went there. This actually makes me go for a walk because I want my bracelet and I know I can’t walk 25 miles in one day. I gotta spread it out over the month. So this is exactly what I needed. I like the app that tracks my walk and I listen to the playlist. It’s my first month and I met my goal with one day to spare!

Walking
I love to walk in the fresh air! I look forward to it every day. Every day I see a new blossom or a new flower or a neighbor I can talk to for a few minutes. It’s a nice time of day to catch up with friends on the phone sometimes. Sometimes I just enjoy all the nature that I’m surrounded by think about the splendor of God and how he created this wonderful place. I enjoy it with my daughter as well. Sometimes she comes with me and we get to see all the good things in nature that we would forget about if we didn’t get to walk slowly and see it. 99 walks is a good program to get you motivated and the motivational speakers are awesome are awesome!!!!

Motivation
I love this app. This app gives me the motivation that I’ve needed to stay active and walk. Although I’ve always put off walking Cuz I’ve had trouble breathing, with this app I found I can leisurely walk and get exercise at the same time. It also gives me a goal to work for because I absolutely love the bracelets did you give out.

App simply won’t work
I can’t edit existing walks or add new walks. It won’t track while I am walking. Every tab I select shows me a either a blank screen or says “insufficient permissions.” I have enabled all permissions, checked my connections, uninstalled and reinstalled. I’m fairly tech-savvy and this thing just does. Not. Work. I was excited to use this, and now I’m pretty disappointed. I also used my WW bonus points to purchase a free month, and I regret that I wasted those hard-earned wins. There are other apps that track steps. User/buyer beware.

Love it!!!
If you need encouragement to get up, get out the teams you are goal oriented, like me; then this is the app for you, sister! Just try it. I walked 10 miles in 11 days and I am so very proud! On top of that, the supportive community of women, I’m going to get a bracelet.
Do you lack support or motivation??
If you answered Yes to the header of this review then this app is for you.
Without this app I wouldn’t have the motivation to get up and walk everyday. I suffer from Anxiety and Depression and this app has given me some control on helping with both issues. This app also has the best community around you have so much support from every lady on the app, even on your bad days. They have some awesome exercise programs, they have pod cast and music to listen to while your out and about walking. Plus that beautiful bracelet you earn every month when you meet your goal and you set your own goal!!! Without this app I’d be a couch potato!!! So Thank You 99 Walks! Thank you for making a safe and secure place for us women to come together and chat and walk together so your we are never alone! 💜💜💜💜💜💜

Incredibly inspiring and motivating!!
I’ve been a member for over a year and can’t speak highly enough about the app, FB page and the creators of the group!! There are numerous aspects to the app that you can use if you wish or not. The coordinating FB page is just an overwhelmingly positive experience with a pack of amazing people there to support each other! Joyce, Eric and all of the others involved in the many aspects of 99 Walks are simply the best!!

I’m walking again...
Thank you 99 walks for the perfect motivational things that have added up to me crushing my goal this month! I have not been able to get out of bed in a happy mood to exercise since my Precious Mana died of covid almost 8 months ago. I’m dying every day and it’s been a slow self harming bad habit to reject exercise and retreat into my comfort zone. I might as well be in the grave too, but then I found 99 walks!!! Not gonna’ lie the bracelet this month sparked something inside my soul HAPPINESS HUNTER” - I didn’t even know it was exactly what’s been needed in my life. I set a goal for thanks to you all and I’m walking again! 10 miles this week! That’s a great place to start, but this is only the beginning. Thank you from my deep soul for this app- it may have saved my life!

Crashes
I really wanted to love this app but in the few weeks I’ve used it, it has crashed multiple times causing me to lose my tracking information for that particular walk. For this reason I have cancelled my subscription. :(
Love it 🥰
I started with only two weeks left in the month and out a goal of 10 miles. I forgot I had an 18th bday party and graduation party to plan. I didn’t get my walks in and had 6.7 to finish. I thought it ended last night so didn’t even try. Today I got the email saying log miles before midnight. I thought I still have time. After two miles I knew I could not do any more. I rested and five of my kids n husband said I could do it and they joined me to finish. I am walking with a cyst on my foot, heel Spurs, damage to balls of feet, fibro, CFS, and bursitis in my hip. I was almost crying and my legs numb but to God be ALL the glory, with my family cheering me on, I walked over 6.7 miles tonight. I met my 10 mile goal in two weeks! And the app was a GREAT encouragement as it tracked my steps and gps and watching my success in numbers helped keep me going. I wanted to crush it and I did.

My favorite app
Since I started using the 99 walk app I can happily say I have loved going for my walks, and getting healthier. I use it everyday and I am enjoying crushing my goal every month. Thank you 99 walk for making me feel better about my health and myself. 😍😍.
Support
I love this program and the many groups/teams you get motivation and support. Just completed my first goal it felt great going from a couch potato to achieving my set goal. I retired Federal Service last December and I haven’t done anything. 99 Walks has motivated me not only in walking but in so many other ways. Thank you I love you all❤️❤️❤️

Great motivation and community!
I’ve been a member of 99Walks for a year now and my fitness has greatly improved. I’ve lost 20 pounds and plan to lose more as I continue my journey. You can walk alone or join one of many teams to cheer you on. The bracelet each month is an extra incentive to stay with the program!
