User reviews

Предложение

Добавьте ещё тот же путь, но в обратной последовательности (домой возвращение)

Response from developer

Спасибо за положительную оценку и за идею! Сейчас в приложении сделано так, чтобы можно было пройти тот же маршрут заново и сравнить, за сколько дошли в прошлый раз. Возможно, это частично закрывает то, что вы хотели. А про обратный путь возьму на заметку!

Все хорошо, но есть одно но

Круто, что можно участвовать в соревнованиях вместе с друзьями 👍
Но есть одна проблема, если замотался и не заходил в приложение неделю,данные из здоровья не передадутся😓 можно как-то исправить это хотя бы на пару недель)

Response from developer

Спасибо за отзыв! Приложение подтягивает шаги за последние 7 дней, так что если заходить хотя бы раз в неделю, данные не потеряются. Если у вас при недельном перерыве шаги всё же не подтянулись, напишите, пожалуйста, детали, разберусь. А увеличить окно синхронизации возьму в планы.

Best walking motivation

I want to buy the developer a cup of coffee! Such a fun app and no in app purchases is almost unheard of. The concept is simple but is executed so well.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this! Right now the best coffee you can give me is exactly this: a kind review. It really keeps me going. Down the line I'm planning to add an optional paid subscription with some extra features, like automatic goals, so the "cup of coffee" option will come. But the core will always stay free: steps, groups, challenges and so on. Really glad you're enjoying it!

Мегакрутое приложение 🔥

Спасибо разработчику! Я в восторге. Хожу мало, правда, но тем дольше будет удовольствие от прохождения маршрута ❤️

Response from developer

Спасибо большое! Очень рад, что приложение зашло. А ходить желаю побольше, и не переживайте, что маршрут кончится: его можно будет пройти заново и сравнить, за сколько дошли в первый раз, а в будущем я планирую добавить и другие маршруты. Так что впереди ещё много дорог!

Simple and great!

Love the new update with the map!

Response from developer

Thank you! I'm really glad you like the map. I worked hard to keep it minimal and clean, so it blends naturally into the rest of the app. Great to hear it landed well!
