### 3/5 — Disappointed

*2025-02-18, version 1.3.0*

I paid the annual subscription as the App looked to be perfect for me. Walks are offered but on the 2 walks I checked there is very little data or functionality to zoom etc. that makes it almost impossible to identify the car parks and pathways to plan the route e.g the description says ‘leave the car park from the rear’ but there is no way of identifying where that is! I’m sure the walks are genuine but this seems like an incomplete project I’ve paid for!

### 3/5 — Still only England?

*2023-06-09, version 1.3.0*

Seems like a great app for those living in England, but for those living elsewhere in the UK it doesn’t serve its purpose

### 4/5 — Review

*2022-12-04, version 1.3.0*

Good app for dog walks
A favourite option and mark places we have been would make it 5 stars!!

### 2/5 — Half the battle

*2021-12-22, version 1.3.0*

I dont mind, that walks are missing within my area, but the real deal breaker is: 

- live tracking is missing e.g. no live gps navigation
- no ability to export to e.g. GPX
- no compass

### 1/5 — First route put us in danger!

*2021-11-30, version 1.2.0*

The directions sent myself and my doggies into a really dangerous place that appeared to be a footpath but wasn’t. The map was faulty throughout and inaccurate. Emailed developers twice but no response. Clearly they have no shame. Also very few walks in my area even though it’s the Cotswolds!? Will be sticking to the books (NOT Countryside Books!) in future!

### 1/5 — Expected more walking routes

*2021-10-28, version 1.2.0*

I was really excited to download this app as I love to take my dogs out for long walks, after downloading, I noticed that the map only showed a couple of walks in my area, I read on the description that to unlock more walks, I would need to pay a yearly subscription- which I then went onto pay. I have since been on to look at these extra walks and I’m no better off than before paying the £5.99, I can’t see any extra walks in my area. Thank goodness it’s only a small amount, I definitely will not be renewing my subscription next year.

### 1/5 — Range of walks

*2021-04-02, version 1.2.0*

There may be many walks in here but non within a close distance to my town, which is quite disappointing.

### 1/5 — Very limited

*2021-03-16, version 1.2.0*

Number of dog walks near us in Edenbridge is very limited

### 1/5 — No dog walks in my area

*2021-03-04, version 1.1.0*

Downloaded app to find new trails to walk the dog but there aren’t any in Barnsley and the surrounding area at all. It’s like a big blank area on the map.

### 1/5 — Poor no walks near me at all

*2021-02-06, version 1.1.0*

Rubbish

### 1/5 — ????

*2021-02-05, version 1.1.0*

What’s there to rate

### 1/5 — Too few walks

*2021-01-30, version 1.1.0*

None around Cambridgeshire

### 2/5 — Great idea, little data input

*2021-01-24, version 1.1.0*

The app itself is fab, clear - easy to use - quick to set up. BUT - there simply isn't enough data on the app to warrant using my storage space. The app tells me there is only 2 walks within 20+ miles of me & I live in the Hampshire country side... clearly not accurate. I'll re-download in a few months to see if there's any improvement

### 1/5 — Uninformative

*2026-01-27, version 1.3.0*

Nothing in South Devon

### 1/5 — Review

*2024-08-29, version 1.3.0*

Not enough walks in my area

### 1/5 — Useless

*2024-02-23, version 1.3.0*

Can't access maps or any further information for walks

### 1/5 — Jessy78!

*2024-01-07, version 1.3.0*

Useless. Frustrating. Waste of time. All it shows me is a map of the world and gives me an option to send feedback. Pathetic.

### 1/5 — Ok but no search function

*2023-12-14, version 1.3.0*

Lots of walks but no search function. Would like to be able to search by length of walk. Of lead amount of walk etc

### 1/5 — Only for the south

*2023-08-31, version 1.3.0*

No walks for anywhere north

### 1/5 — Scotland?

*2023-03-07, version 1.3.0*

Some walks in Scotland would be good

### 1/5 — Nothing in Northern Ireland.

*2023-02-20, version 1.3.0*

Might be a great app. I didn't explore as Northern Ireland is ignored again

Update.
Well given the poor response to my review, I can’t help but feel vindicated. To be clear, in response to Developer,I did indeed try the app. I did indeed explore only to discover that the part of the UK that I reside in is not served by this app. So is the Developer suggesting I’m being harsh in my review? The Developer criticises my review and implies that I should have tried it. Maybe they would like me to move to England in order that I can leave a fair review.

### 1/5 — Not a single walk in wales 👎

*2023-01-20, version 1.3.0*

Dog walks in ENGLAND shiukd be the correct name, what a waste of space this app is.

### 1/5 — Only has 1 walk listed that’s local to me

*2022-09-19, version 1.3.0*

It would be good if we could add our walks to the app, so others could find new walks locally and vice Versa!

### 5/5 — Brilliant app and really easy to use

*2026-05-11, version 1.3.0*

I have used this for a couple of months now and been on several walks, it would be even better for if I could save a walk, comment on it and make it a favourite.

### 5/5 — New adventures

*2024-11-16, version 1.3.0*

I’ve found a number of great new walks , instead of going to the same places repeatedly. 
I particularly like the ones near pubs, so I can get a lunch in too .

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2023-05-07, version 1.3.0*

Absolutely love this app. Walks on our doorstep we didn’t even know was there. Great walks with descriptions as too type of terrains, off lead and even live stock. Fantastic. Well done developers!

### 5/5 — Thanks , I think this app will change my doggies walks forever

*2023-04-11, version 1.3.0*

Needed something just like this, much appreciated thanks .

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2023-02-08, version 1.3.0*

Very Accurate with clear instructions and I love the map that shows you where abouts you are!

### 5/5 — Great walks

*2022-10-01, version 1.3.0*

We have been on some lovely walks with this app to places in our local area we haven’t been to and when we have been on holiday in the uk it’s great to pick up and find a local route nearby. The go’s and tracking with the written instructions are great. Would love it if there were some more walks released soon. If there was a way to tick that a walk had been competed or rate then that would be good but overall a really easy to use app with some great walks.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2021-04-16, version 1.2.0*

Have done 2 of these walks now, both to break up a long journey and they have been just brilliant, both for us and our dog! We did the one near Huntingdon yesterday and one at Middleham in the Yorkshire Dales today and both were simply lovely. Good instructions and the map shows where you are even without a connection. Really looking forward to doing more on our way home. Thank you so much for introducing us to some beautiful places.

### 5/5 — Discover Fantastic Walks & Never get lost again!

*2020-10-21, version 1.1.0*

Easy to use - clear instructions- a revelation!

I discovered this app when on holiday In a new area - and I had no idea where to walk the dog - other than the usual tourist trails and local parks. With the app we discovered wonderful new walking routes which we would never have found otherwise. I love that the map shows you where you are alongside the recommended route so you’ll never go far off course. 

Great to have the written instructions as well so you know exactly where to head out from each turning .  I have some of the books but the app tops them all! Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic must-have for any dog owner

*2020-08-20, version 1.1.0*

Black lab Ralph and I LOVED the two Sussex walks we went on - brilliant, easy-to-follow instructions and a chance to go off the beaten track with expert guidance. Can’t wait to try a few more.

### 5/5 — Great walk

*2020-03-13, version 1.0.0*

Finally it has been dry enough to try one of the walks. So glad we did as we had great walk somewhere I wouldn’t have definitely known was dog-friendly. Looking forward to doing another at the weekend.
