Love this app

I’ve had this app for at least a couple of years as we visit Cornwall regularly. The direction prompts mean We have never got lost! The app lets you know if you’re veering off the route. There’s also lots of interesting nuggets of information at each point which we found made the walk more fun. Make sure your phone is charged and location is set to always. There is an option to download to your phone just in case but that won’t give you the direction prompts. Just wish there was something similar available near our home in Sheffield.

A real mess of an app

Could not get app to get GPS information on my iPhone. Followed the overly detailed instructions several times. App buggy and compared to other walk/hike app is inferior.

FAQ

What does iWalk Cornwall do?

iWalk Cornwall is a digital walking guide that provides detailed, GPS-triggered directions for circular walks across Cornwall. It offers local information, offline navigation, and real-time updates on your progress, including distance and estimated time remaining.

How do I access the walks?

The app is free to download and includes one free walk, "Lanhydrock Gardens," for you to try. Additional walks are purchased from within the app. Once downloaded, these walks can be used offline without needing a mobile signal or internet connection.

Is iWalk Cornwall free to use?

The app itself is free to download. While one walk is included for free, the majority of the over 300 available walks are purchased individually within the app. These purchased walks include ongoing free updates.

What are the system requirements for iWalk Cornwall?

The app utilizes the GPS receiver on your device for navigation. Users of Wi-Fi-only iPads (non-cellular/3G) will require an external GPS device to use the navigation features effectively. Continued use of GPS in the background can impact battery life.

Can I use iWalk Cornwall without an internet connection?

Yes, once you have downloaded a walk, the app does not require a mobile signal or internet connection to function. This allows you to navigate confidently even in areas with poor connectivity.
