App icon is no where to be seen on town’s page as per developer’s instruction. I cannot see where icon is to get specialty item. Developer should have just included it with the app content. It would have been a 5 star app. ### 4/5 — 散歩の歩数計代わりに *2024-01-08, version 1.9.1* 趣味の散歩をただ漠然と歩くより良いかと思って始めてみた。 東海道を旅している気分…には流石になれないものの、歩いた距離を何かに換算する楽しみがあり、散歩のモチベーションが上がる。　 ただ、各宿場の解説がWikipediaの記事をそのま ま上げているだけなのはいかがなものか？ あまりに無機質で、宿場についても感動は感じない｡ もっと作成者自身の言葉で記してほしかった。 また、短い広告を見る事で色々なアイテムがコレクションできるのは良いが、宿場の名物がチョット出にくい気がする｡ 書籍や絵画は出やすいのだが｡ ### 3/5 — 励みになるけど *2023-10-20, version 1.9.1* 毎日の歩数がわかれば尚いいと思う ### 3/5 — 飽きました。 *2023-08-27, version 1.9.1* 往路は東海道、復路は中山道。 これの繰り返しです。3回やりました。 惰性でアプリを入れていますが、もうひと工夫して、何か目新しい何か欲しいと思います。 抽象的な意見で失礼します。 ### 5/5 — なんとなく楽しい *2023-07-10, version 1.9.0* ウォーキングを始めたので、モチベーションを上げるために、自分がどのぐらい歩いたのか可視化出来るアプリがあると良いなと思って入れてみました。 少しずつだけど、距離が伸びていくのが楽しくて使っています。 ガチガチじゃなくて、ゆるく続けたい私には向いてるみたいです！ ### 1/5 — 真っ白 *2023-06-16, version 1.9.0* 2週目途中だったのに、丸一日ログアウトしてたらなぜか強制リセットされて1週目の日本橋に戻ってしまった😭なんてこったい。 ### 5/5 — 早朝散歩19年目傘寿爺ちゃん *2023-01-03, version 1.7.0* 定年から一日一万歩をスタートしました。昨年は傘寿を迎え米寿を目標にして再スタートしました。イモ爺 ### 4/5 — 総数表記が欲しい *2022-11-04, version 1.7.0* このアプリは今日はどこまで歩くとか、どこまで到達するとか、毎日の目標、達成感を得る事ができ、良いと思います。 一つ難点を言えば、名物は宿場町で獲得したかどうかは分かりますが、書籍、絵画は総数が分からないため、どれだけ獲得したかが分からないので、ゴールが見えません 。所持品の所は〇〇個ではなく、〇〇/〇〇、又は獲得していない物に関しては？又は未獲得にしていただければありがたいです コンプリートをするにはおそらく4.5周は最低でも必要になると思うので、コンプリート目標ができれば、末永く使えるウォーキングアプリになるとは思います ## Frequently asked questions about Edo Journey ### How does Edo Journey track my steps?
