Walking made fun

What a fantastic way to entertain yourself while being healthy and doing an every day activity. Interactive and fun.

Disappointing

I was enjoying this app, but the recent change to the half mile daily limit unless I watch an ad is disappointing. I have been walking to Mordor one mile a day at a time for 2 years and was on track to finish in two years, but now you’ve added what will probably be another 2 years to my journey.

Bring back one time purchase

This app was recommended to me by a friend and the reviews say that unlimited walking is a one-time payment. However I don’t see that option, and have a limit of 0.5 miles a day unless I watch an ad every mile. I love the design and concept of this app but I’m not going to pause and watch an ad every mile, so I’m going to delete it. I would love to make a one-time purchase just for unlimited walking with no other benefits, but I’m afraid it’s a dealbreaker!

This App kept me going!

5stars! Get the full version! The free one only lets you record 1 mile a day.
I was trying to walk 10,000 steps a day. Then a friend showed me this app. So even on the days I didn’t get 10,000 steps I still moved forward on the quest to Mount Doom!
I loved how you could pick a character to race against!

Fun motivation!

I had a great time checking in on the app to see how I was doing, tracking how far I went in different cities, and having the motivation to keep walking! I’m going to start over and do it all again. :)

Fun fitness accountability

The bots make it fun to compete and keep ahead of. It projects your arrival date by averaging the median of your travels over the days logged, calculating to the remaining distance and thus the number of days until you reach the end.

Long term goal setting for healthy habits.

Smash

^

I loved all 3 years it took me to get to the Mountain, highly recommend!

The graphics & fade in elements are so well designed.

Nice

Great app

So motivational!

Still a big fan! I’m almost done with my second trip to Mordor and I’m definitely planning a third. I would love to see this app expand to include different quests, but the improvements made over the last year have been great!

Fun way to track your walks

Great and fun app. I just wish it could read from my garmin. Apple health doesn’t record half my steps or miles so I’m missing out on so many miles but still fun!

Пустая трата памяти телефона

Я даже не понял почему км в день было меньше чем на самом деле пока не почитал отзывы. Идея классная, реализация ужасная

Response from developer

Hello John Weck, We have a one time purchase to get rid of the 1,5K limit. We do this to keep the app ad-free. We are sorry to hear this does not work for you and hope you find something that does. Happy hiking and thank you for the feedback, The Fantasy Hike Team

Count distance wrong

It counts distance wrong, I’m wearing fitbit air , and usually distance per day around 5-10 km, and its
been few weeks but in the app I only have 20km

Finished

So happy to have completed the challenge.

New respect for Hobbits…

I am definitely not someone who walks a ton, but this is so much fun to reach milestones and see how the landscape changes that I check it every day to see how much closer I have gotten to Mount Fire. Mr Underhill totally kicked my butt - though he did have the benefit of not needing to do anything all day other than walk!

Fun, Simple, Charming

No multiple currencies, no forcing you to pay attention, no need to have your phone with you when you walk, just a very charming stroll to Mount Doom. I love that the distance is achievable, but also a long effort. Hopefully, I will also lose weight before I deal with the ring.

Like to share

Really like it so far, but, tbh,I just downloaded it. I’m enjoying the concept though and wish there was an easy way to share with others and maybe have it set up so we could race! Can’t wait to really put this app to use. Great idea!

All round delight

Helps motivate you to stay active. Really charming feel and build. Just a lovely app to have.

Sneaky pay to win

Absolutely insane that they only allow 1.5km on the free tier. Defeats the entire purpose of the thing. And they don’t tell you either! I thought my step counter was broken before I realised. You have to go looking in settings to find that out. Poor UX, poor usability, and poor content design. Not recommended.
