### 5/5 — Super cool App

*2026-04-28*

Loving the app - can’t wait to try all the challenges. I especially love that there are 3 different versions or routes for each challenge so you can blast through them or go as many miles as it “really” took. 

The best part is reading and learning about history as you go along.  My only wish is that I could read about the part of the journey I’m currently on - while I’m on it, and not (only) after it’s completed, which is how it looks for my current journey. Other than that, I really love the app and hope you make many more journeys for your avid subscribers.

### 5/5 — Great idea

*2026-03-29*

Id like to see you add a whole lot more

### 5/5 — Great App To Make Step Count Enjoyable

*2026-02-03*

I’m really glad I found this app.  It makes tracking steps fun with giving you stories throughout history. You can choose a short, medium or true version length of the quest you have decided on. Also there are checkpoints during the quest with even more detailed history. Absolutely recommend to anyone who is into history in any way. Easy to use and navigate.

### 1/5 — Free only with paid trial?

*2025-12-24*

I am fine with micro transactions and subscriptions, but if the only way to try an app like this is to subscribe then it is a no thanks from me. Could you put one single hike as a free option? Or even make that hike $1. 

Furthermore when you tap “free trial” it opens up a purchase.

**Developer response:** The app includes a fully free route, clearly marked “Free” and available without any subscription, free trial, or purchase.

The Free Trial option provides a genuine trial period and only appears on eligible subscription screens, following standard App Store behavior.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-12-24*

I am currently walking the French Way of the El Camino and I have walked other routes before. Love this app’s efforts to give historical connection to where I am watching.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much — we’re really glad you’re enjoying the historical connection!

If you have any routes or hikes you’d love to see added in the future, feel free to let us know — we’d love your input.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-17*

I was looking for something new after completing fantasy hike and this is it. I get to walk in some history footsteps and learn some fun facts along the way. Very interactive and as a history lover, it really captivates my attention.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your review! We're really glad you’re enjoying the mix of walking and history — that’s exactly what we were going for. It’s great to hear it’s keeping your attention, and we hope you keep discovering new fun facts along the way!

### 3/5 — Step count…

*2025-02-21*

It is a good app but I am having problems with my steps. On my fitness app, it says I have 3,000 steps but on here it says 0.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble. 

First, please make sure you granted the app permission to track your steps during the onboarding process. If you didn’t, kindly open your device’s settings and enable the necessary permissions. 

Second, remember that the app only displays steps recorded by Apple Health after you’ve started a route. This might be why your step count appears as 0.

If you have any other questions or still need help, please don’t hesitate to reach out at historicalstepcounter@gmail.com—I’ll be more than happy to assist you further. Once everything is working properly, we’d love for you to come back and share another review to let us know everything is running smoothly!

### 3/5 — A little difficult to configure

*2025-02-11*

I’m working my way step wise.  Looking forward to unlocking next activity.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! It's great to hear that you're making progress step by step! We’d really appreciate it if you could share what exactly was difficult during setup. Would you prefer shorter distances between milestones or a greater number of them?

We understand that the routes are quite long since, in the ‘original’ mode, they replicate real historical events. We have already created a shorter version, but perhaps we should consider additional options. Thank you for helping us improve the app!

### 5/5 — Fun App

*2025-01-21*

Downloaded this and it’s a fun way to both learn history and keep track of your daily steps. Well-designed as well!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the mix of history and fitness in the app. It’s great to know that the design is working well for you too!
