### 4/5 — Have to repurchase with every use

*2022-10-01*

Love this app, I purchased in 2017 and use it regularly BUT as of 2022 every time I try to log on to record I have to repurchase then go thru the hassle of getting a refund. Has happened all summer. A huge glitch that needs to be fixed.

**Developer response:** This is not normal. Please contact us directly so we can help you. Make sure to use the same Apple ID as the initial purchase. This may be some issue with the App Store. We do not have any control over billing and payments.

### 3/5 — 3/5

*2018-04-27*

Was not that intuitive but with a little hard work, it helped a lot.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that the app is difficult to use. Please let us know how we can improve through our customer support portal. We also have detailed guides on how to get started: https://www.coursewalkapp.com/guides.html#.W7iW-hNKjUI

### 3/5 — Great but still missing a few handy things

*2013-10-15*

Would be nice to be able to add sticky notes when and wherever you want to on a cross country course.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2012-02-13*

I love this app!  I like being able to compare different courses across the country.

### 4/5 — Wish I'd had this when I was in England competing!

*2011-12-22*

Brilliant app! Keep the updates coming to stay on top of issues! Two thumbs up!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2011-11-10*

It works great, am really pleased with it.   The developers are constantly improving it it seems so there are regular updates. With ios 5 I had to delete it and download it again for it to run but that only took a minute. Love the feature to upload and download courses to the website.

### 5/5 — AMAZING!!! worth even $15

*2011-09-16*

This app has a course walk AND all of the USEA dressage tests on it! The Whinney books are $20 per level where I live so this is perfect!!! "greatest thing since sliced bread"

### 1/5 — Unhappy with purchase

*2024-11-17*

I am very unhappy with this purchase. I bought it specifically for a starter trial yesterday and it was not useful at all. It was no better than the paper courses they have at the show itself.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-06-22, version 3.0.4*

This is the first app I've ever purchased (after owning a smart phone for 8 years!) My first course walk didn't save. I figured it was a glitch since the Internet was kind of shoddy in that area. The next horse trial I tried it again and this area happens to have good internet. I ran into the same issue. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Won't open!

*2012-06-27, version 1.5*

This app sounds great but I bought it and went to use it but it crashes shortly after the opening screen every time. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2011-12-09*

I liked this app, but since iOS 5 it crashes immediately on startup making it unusable. Hopefully this is fixed ASAP.

### 1/5 — Feeezes

*2011-10-25*

Both times we've tried to use this app, it has completely crashed! Very disappointing!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2011-09-25*

Paid $5 and it doesn't work

### 2/5 — Save button

*2016-05-04*

After i was done recording my course and when i hit the save button it added 8000m to the course i just walked messing up my minute markers and times. I hope they fix this. Good app otherwise.

**Developer response:** We haven't experienced this problem. However, you can use the eraser feature to undo the last recorded points.

### 3/5 — Can’t find courses

*2024-06-20*

I like that I can take pictures and save my own courses. But I can never search any other courses. All I can find are the ones I made and saved. It’s very frustrating. I type in the search the show and literally nothing pops up. No spinning anything that looks like it’s thinking. No course at all. I can’t actually see any courses other than the one I made. And it didn’t even save the picture I took. Disappointing.

### 3/5 — Stops working half way through course!

*2022-10-21*

I love this app and have used it since 2018. I’ve never had any problems with it until recently…half way through my course I’ll go to take a picture of a fence and the screen will go white! The app then will not work and I end up having to delete the unfinished course and not use the app. It’s a bummer!

**Developer response:** Please contact us through the support channel at http://support.coursewalkapp.com/support/home

### 3/5 — Ok but cumbersome

*2018-10-04*

The app idea is great. 
Relying on Google maps or satellite is problematic because the course and its environment change much faster than Google updates their imaging.

Also, downloading maps could be less cumbersome if you could ask for all maps from an event at the same time. Then you would be less likely to download Prelim from the Spring when you need the Fall map.

**Developer response:** We are sorry to hear that the Google Maps sattelite background is not helpful. We also provide the Bing Maps sattelite background. We are not aware of any other sources with better imagery.

We will work on improving the search and download of courses by adding date ranges.

Thank you for your feedback.

*2015-05-13*

Couldn't ask for a better app, everything in one place, even Dressage Tests :)

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2015-04-26*

Excellent app. Excellent response and help from the support team when the app updated

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2014-02-16*

It works great! It really helps me tell where my minute markers are! It's a little confusing at first but it gets much easier to use after a few courses!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2013-08-24*

Very useful on the go!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-05-05, version 2.2*

A must-have app for eventers and eventing enthusiasts!!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-04-20*

Well organized, exactly what it promises. Great for last minute dressage test checks, makes comprehensive XC walks & helps you find your minute markers easily.

### 5/5 — Very Useful App

*2012-09-21*

I downloaded the first version of this app, and for any event rider this is a very useful app to have on your phone. Also very impressed with how quickly updates, bug fixes and new features get added. One piece of advice: do your first test run at home to get used to a few of the advanced features before rushing out to use at your next event. 

It won't disappoint.

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2012-07-07*

Really useful helped me remember what each jump was the night before the competition

### 5/5 — Very helpful tool

*2012-04-30*

I have used this app for a year now and it has been a great help. It was easy to use from day 1, I did a couple of "test" at home before using it for real. If you  walk off the course, you can erase the last steps and record them again. Some times, the GPS acts up a little bit, specially under trees, but I have been told that the new version has improved GPS filters. Looking forward to use it and check it again. Also, they make upgrades available regularly, very nice technical service.

### 5/5 — Finally!

*2012-03-09*

Wicked!!!!!!
