## What is J?

A super-simple app to track your walks and runs. It tracks your: Distance, Time, and Pace for each workout. That's it!

I created this app for my wife who was baffled by the complex apps that are available this kind of thing. They all have dozens of features she has no interest in but still has to wade through and/or ads to try to click around. But she just wants to know how far and fast her walks or runs go.

Although the app is simple, I've brought to bear the experience of 30+ years as a software engineer to this app. I've tried to make it as robust, fault-tolerent, and rock-solid as I reasonably could.

(e.g., take any similar app and let it run out of power during your workout or simulate this by force-rebooting -- and look at what you end up with. With some other apps -- even Apple's very nice Workouts app for Apple Watch -- you'll end up with little to nothing. With J-Walker, you'll have your workout tracked up to the second your phone died.)

Also, all your data stays on your phone.
There's no data harvesting going on here, no advertisers, no "partners", no switcheroo.

There's one screen to review workout history or start a workout.
And another to show your progress during a workout.

Simple.

### 4/5 — Great but not perfect.

*2025-01-11, version 1.0.4*

I’d like you to add this feature…

-  after they complete the run allow the user to view the run to see the speeds they were going. 

Example:
- say if I run a total of 2miles and the 1st mile I run 9min/mi then run 13min mile for the overall pace. I’d like to see the point at which I slowed down. 

I usually screen record the running app to see what speed I was going at X time but if you could program that feature I would really love it!

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2021-03-12, version 1.0.3*

No data collecting. No ads. No monthly subscription. Just pay some money and get a well-designed product. 

It’s simple but not simplistic. It tells me what I want to know without all the garbage. 

Thanks John! Also, I loved you on SNL.
