Great in concept, but you can’t compare your progress with friends without paying either. ### 5/5 — Best App Ever *2026-07-07, version 2.3.2* This turns walking, running, or just step counting into an adventure. The attention to detail is wonderful. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-07, version 2.3.2* Fantastic app, I really enjoy the simplicity of it. Getting a notification when I reached milestones while walking make it more motivating :) ### 5/5 — Wonderful fun *2026-07-04, version 2.3.2* A bit of whimsy helps keep motivation high, and Fantasy Hike is great at both whimsy and motivation ### 5/5 — Fantastic hike haha get it sorry *2026-07-03, version 2.3.2* Mb for the awful joke ### 4/5 — Fun *2026-07-03, version 2.3.2* A fun way to get out and walk, ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-07-02, version 2.3.2* This has made exercise so fun!!! ### 5/5 — Enjoy the travelogue *2026-07-02, version 2.3.2* Nice for motivating one to keep up there steps on a daily basis ### 5/5 — Pretty fun. *2026-07-01, version 2.3.2* I had a lot of fun doing this as LOTR fan. ### 4/5 — Enjoying the journey *2026-06-27, version 2.3.2* Love being able to track the journey with friends/family. I wish the replay function had a speed option. ### 5/5 — Liebe Pur *2026-06-24* Super tolle App, ich hab den gesamten Lauf jetzt zum dritten Mal fertig. Richtig schöne Details, freut mich immer wieder zu sehen wenn ich unterwegs bin, was gerade bei Frodo und Sam passiert und dann erinnere ich mich wieder gerne an die Stellen im Buch. Die 5€ für die Premium Version finde ich haben sich gelohnt, sowas unterstütze ich gerne. Wenn es jetzt noch eine Version zum Hobbit gäbe, wäre das Mega! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-06-23, version 2.3.2* I love this app it's affordable and fun to do with friends! This will be our 4th round! ### 4/5 — Motivating *2026-06-21, version 2.3.2* It’s fun! I bought the unlimited distance pack and recommended it to two friends who joined and did the same! I wish you would be able to see at least the total distance of your friends when you buy the unlimited distance pack. I get it’s not the sub so you don’t see all the stats, but just the total distance would make it so much easier to celebrate big milestones with each other and egg each other one. Which is why it’s four instead of a full five stars. Still beautiful art and nice user interface. ### 3/5 — Stopped tracking distance *2026-06-20, version 2.3.2* This seemed like a really cute app that would’ve made my walks more exciting, if it didn’t stop randomly tracking the distance. I had to restart my journey a few times for it to start tracking again. Walked about 2 miles and it said I only had walked 1. Not sure if it’s a user issue or an app issue, but I couldn’t keep using it. ### 5/5 — A fun journey *2026-06-15, version 2.3.2* It has so many little details that are accurate to lord of the rings. Going through this journey is so fun getting all the achievements like in the films is so cool. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Innaccurate and burdensome *2026-08-03, version 2.3.2* Its an amazing app and would be alot of fun if it were accurate but im getting sick of walking 14,000 steps and it telling me i walked 2 miles because the only app that it pulls data from is apple health which is complete garbage and for some reason doesnt track distance correctly. This defeats the whole purpose of the app. Wish they would allow you to tether zepp app or fitbit app ### 1/5 — Скачала на пару дней и удаляю )) *2026-07-22* Сначала не поняла почему после 1500 метров приложение зависло и не считало больше )) а потом как поняла и почитала отзывы , странное мотивирующее приложение )) **Developer response:** Hello there, We have a one time purchase of Unlimited Distance to keep the app ad-free. We are sorry to hear this does not work for you. Happy hiking, The Fantasy Hike team ### 1/5 — Limited to 1 mile per day *2026-07-15, version 2.3.2* You have to pay to track more than a mile per day, making it practically useless if you want a free app ### 1/5 — You have to pay to walk more than a mile a day *2026-07-13, version 2.3.2* Why ### 1/5 — Restore needed *2026-04-24, version 2.3* I constantly have to restore the purchase and when I reached out to their customer service about it they just ignored me. ### 1/5 — 1 Mile Limit *2026-04-23, version 2.3* It seems the free version is limited to tracking 1 mile per day. Be aware! ### 1/5 — A subscription service 😂 *2026-04-21, version 2.3* Think this will be fun… download then realize it’s another extortionate needless subscription. Stop using these and they’ll eventually go away. ### 1/5 — Meh *2026-03-24, version 2.3* You apparently, at some point, reach a “step limit” and you cannot progress further unless you purchase the app. Was a fun premise up until that point. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-01-22* Лохотрон, бесплатно 1 км. lol 1.5 km for free only, very unhappy **Developer response:** Hello Lackysnoopy, We have a one time purchase of Unlimited Distance to keep the app ad-free. We are sorry to hear that does not work for you and hope you find something that does. Happy hiking, The Fantasy Hike team ### 1/5 — Pay for progress? *2026-01-13, version 2.3* I loved the idea of this app but the fact that you have to pay to track more than one mile a day is CRAZY. That just feels greedy. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Enjoyed the app *2026-08-20, version 2.3.2* Such a fun act, I am a little concerned that it double counts my mileage because of my garmin but still fun. ### 5/5 — This will motivate you *2026-08-19, version 2.3.2* I never do app reviews and I’ve struggled a long time in losing weight. Doing this with friends has been so much fun and has made be a walker. ### 5/5 — Very motivating for Lord of the Rings lovers! *2026-08-08, version 2.3.2* Loved checking my progress every day, but really wish once you end the quest there was an option to reset to the beginning ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2026-08-05, version 2.3.2* Charming little app with beautiful artwork for Tolkien fans who want to race Frodo to Mount Doom. ### 5/5 — Favorite walking app *2026-08-04, version 2.3.2* Love this app, huge lotr fan and it motivates me to walk more and more each day. I should reach mount “fire” in about 10 months!! ### 5/5 — Fun and motivational! *2026-07-31, version 2.3.2* I really enjoy fantasy books like lord of the rings, so this app was a nice way to bring me closer to the books and also motivate me to walk more ### 5/5 — Give me more! *2026-07-30, version 2.3.2* This was the best experience! I loved using this app and I dreaded finishing my quest. I wish there was an option to extend it to go “there and back again” so I could keep going and return to the shire!!! ### 5/5 — Finally made it *2026-07-23, version 2.3.2* Took me 3 years but I officially made it! I would love to be able to walk back to the shire! ### 5/5 — Lovely idea but… *2026-07-17, version 2.3.2* I downloaded this app just over a year ago and I’ve found it really useful for keeping me motivated to go out and walk. I found myself thinking I’d just walk a bit further to get to the top of the next hill or to the next landmark. Soon after downloading it I paid £5.99 in order to measure longer distances, and it’s been well worth the money. ### 5/5 — Love this App! *2026-07-16, version 2.3.2* Done this a couple of times and I get faster each time- super motivating too! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
