New charges are so insulting

I use this app all the time but they’re now charging you if you want a walk route longer than 4km???? It’s incredibly insulting

Loved for years - disappointed with new update

I’ve been using Go Jauntly for years now and really loved it - especially for planning a route or going on a round trip. I have just gone on it to plan a long walk and discovered that they’ve made the round trip feature a premium feature above 3 miles. I’m really disappointed with this change because it means that I won’t be using Go Jauntly to plan any routes round where I live as I know my area well enough to not need a device to tell me what a 3 mile walk is. Unfortunately I will be getting rid of the app and will try other route planning methods.

Hi ILikeLongWalks. Thanks for your message. We are a small self-funded start-up and we have to keep a roof over our heads and feed our families. The App is free and most of the features are free. We do everything we can to keep as much free as possible and even have an offer live which means premium is now only £14.99 per year which is about 4 pence per day. We don't sell your personal data, we don't have loads of advertising. We are not owned by billionaire tech bros. It takes a huge amount of effort to build an app, keep it running and then to keep innovating so that we can help more people walk. We hope you can understand that this small change to help us to keep the app live and sustainable. Wishing you a lovely day. Thanks GJ x

Finally exploring my own doorstep

Been using this to find local walks and it's genuinely brilliant. The routes feel tried and tested rather than algorithmically cobbled together. Someone's actually walked them and bothered to share them, which makes a real difference when you're navigating somewhere new.

The points of interest are what keep me coming back. I've walked past the same spots for years and had no idea what I was missing. Ancient woodland, hidden viewpoints, bits of local history — it adds a layer to a walk that makes it feel worthwhile rather than just exercise.

Couldn't recommend it more if you want to get outside but have run out of ideas. There's more on your doorstep than you think.

Hi DJ Rol, thank you so much for such a wonderful and wholesome review. It means so much to our little team. We're so pleased you've been able to discover new places and spaces and had fun along the way! That's everything we hoped and dreamed of when we created the app. May every walk be worthwhile for you. Thank you again! x

Life changing

This app is so easy to use and so incredibly helpful in finding simple routes from my home - and I love the challenges, so motivating.

Never get lost again

Go jauntily

Please make reversible routes

TFL seem to have given Go Jauntly the deal on mapping the Capital Ring, a great walk. But the route is only provided in one direction, not so great.

Add option to randomise circular walks

Please add option to randomise circular walks e.g., If I select X mile route, it always/ every day shows me exact same route. It would be nicer if we could get a new route offered either via adittional “Randomisation”, “Refresh” buttons ot maybe even a toggle for users who would want that behaviour by default.

Disappointed

The app features many local walks, from shorter to longer hikes. I decided to give it a try on a longer - over 1hr - walk, but I found it difficult and not very helpful. After you press go, there is no navigation, you have to walk either holding your phone and looking at the screen to watch the blue door moving or just keep checking it every few steps, which in my opinion defeats the purpose. I didn’t go to a woodland to look at the screen. Secondly, somewhere in the middle accidentally I closed the the route and couldn’t find it, there is no history and it wouldn’t show me that route even when I searched for nearest walks. Strangely though, the walk was more enjoyable without this app and phone in my hand. I will be uninstalling.

Response from developer

Hi there, Thanks for your feedback and we're glad to hear that you found a walk that you enjoyed. Some people just use the app for inspiration. So they use the app to find a location and then that's it, they just wander as they wish. Perhaps they check the map only a few times, especially if they are confident walkers. Please note that we adopted a privacy-by-design approach at the start which means we don't follow you step by step and we don't track your every movement like other apps do. Appreciate that's not what you want but that's the reasoning. We do have background restoration enabled though, so the app usually does reopen to where you left off. You can also "save" your walk so you can access it later as well. We're a super small team, there's about 4 of us right now so community feedback is really important so thank you for taking the time. Have a lovely day! GJ x

Difficult to follow expensive and rubbish

No GPX files

Got the subscription for a month for get access to the GPX files for the Capital Circle path in London, but I couldn’t find them in the app. Bummer. This app isn’t the same category as Komoot or Gaia.
If you just want a green walking path from A to B, then this will serve you well.

Response from developer

Hello abeecdeef, Thanks for your feedback. GPX files are available for our Green Routes only as you found out. We have lots of lovely photo-led guided walks as well. The Capital Ring is the most popular in the app but sorry it wasn't right for you. Have a great day. Thanks GJ!

Feedback fiend

I get so much pleasure seeing my Fitbit steps turn into kilometres turn into Go Jauntly badges and stars!

Love love love

This is exactly what I needed to get me out and about.
The walks are great, the photos are brilliant.
Everything you need to get you out and walking all in one place 🤩

Route instructions a bit vague

Used this for the first time this weekend. Don’t see anything that would inspire me pay for it, certainly not the price being asked. Scant content for many areas, given this is not a new app and many of the walks are supplied by third parties like TFL for free.

Great app

Absolutely love this app. Currently doing GM ringway and love that the app has pictures so you know if you are going wrong. Just upgraded to premium because I use it so much. I like generating my own walks as well, that is a great feature. Cannot say anything bad about this app, if you like getting out and about and exploring new places then this is the app for you. I combine it with doing a little geocaching as well.

As a small team, it really means a lot and we love that you love you app. We also appreciate you upgrading to premium which really helps support us and keep us going. The GM Ringway is such a fantastic walk and it's fun that you combine us with geocaching as well. Love it! All the best, GJ xx

Streets of London

This is my favourite walking app and I have lots! It’s the only one that lets me find a green route away from pollution. I’ve discovered dozens of new routes and can now identify every tree in London - thanks to this brilliant app.

Good App

I enjoy this app, for its simplicity. A great method of recording steps. And the feedback is positive.

Walks need updating

I love the app but both myself and my son have done a couple of the longer local walks only to end up at a dead end and had to turn back. A couple of walks have also sent us into undergrowth which simply wasn’t passable.

Like it but not love; needs an apple watch app

To avoid getting lost, I have to constantly check my phone. Voice directions are definitely required, particularly an app for the Apple Watch. In addition, I now have to carry a power bank. Like it, but on the verge of loving it.

A great guide for any distance of pleasurable runs

First time user. Precise, bug free, easy to follow and a real gem of new running/walking routes.

Good if the first route it creates is good.

You can make the app regenerate a new route if the one it creates it’s suitable. I live near a main road and also completely empty countryside with many bridleways and public footpaths. The app always uses the main road for routes and I can’t make it use public footpaths, bridleways or quiet roads.

This makes the app near-useless as you only get one chance to make a route, whether it’s safe or not.
