### 5/5 — Lovely App!

*2026-06-03, version 2.8*

This is a such a great app to explore Malvern and all the hidden walks and shortcuts. So thank you to the developer who made it for us all to use!  🙌

### 5/5 — Malvern Thrills

*2024-08-27, version 2.8*

Recently moved to the area and wanted to take up walking the Malvern Hills. Found this app and it’s perfect for our needs. Hoping to complete all the walks on the list and love that it has little snippets of information on the points of interest as you are on the walk so we are learning as we go.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-08-20, version 2.8*

First time visiting Malvern. I wish all places had apps like this as it made it so easy to find a walk that suited us. We did the 7 mile hills and valleys walk and we’d never have been able to do that without the app.

### 5/5 — Basic but effective

*2024-05-19, version 2.8*

Really helped navigate the End to End walk and avoid getting lost, thank you!

### 5/5 — Great App!!

*2024-03-10, version 2.8*

Thank you for this free all! Found my new favourite walk

### 3/5 — Repeatedly needing to download maps

*2024-02-13, version 2.7*

The information and graphics are superb. I was so pleased initially. I scored this 3 because it might be me or the settings on my phone, if it wasn’t me I’d have scored it 1 because it was utterly useless on the day ☹️. 

I downloaded the map I wanted and we started on our walk, everything good for the first 10 mins. The phone screen had gone blank because I hadn’t looked at it for that time. Unlocked the phone and the app had gone back to the Home Screen. Clicked on the wall we wanted again. It wanted to download again. Annoying, but okay. 

Needless to say this became the theme of the walk. If I kept the phone on then everything was okay, but I couldn’t possibly do that for 3 hours. For most of the walk we barely had 3G and it took well over 5 minutes to download the map. For the last quarter of the walk we had no reception at all, got lost and had to walk back via the road. 

Shame because otherwise the app seemed good.

### 5/5 — What a well written App!

*2023-02-11, version 2.7*

Finally an App that was been well thought though with easy photos and walk through… also great for those of us with neurodiverse needs such as dyslexia. Whoever has written this app needs to write more for different places. Well done!

### 5/5 — Superb App

*2022-12-13, version 2.6.0*

The app is very intuitive to use, with excellent directions and lots of useful information along the walk.
Gives your Grid Ref., with battery saving and other options. 
First rate, thoroughly recommend!

### 1/5 — Don’t use this on iPhone

*2022-09-09, version 2.4.2*

It’s hard to believe that any developer would publish an app like this — even a free one. It doesn’t fit on the screen of an iPhone X: text is truncated on the right and buttons are inaccessible.  The notch obscures screen elements. You can’t even pinch to shrink the page so you can see the whole thing. Avoid

### 1/5 — So disappointed!

*2022-06-10, version 2.4.2*

This should be a brilliant app. But I hated it once I started using it for one reason. I used it to get to the start point in the south when driving there for an end-to-end walk. I used the postcode on the app & the given names, & (very limited) directions so that I could park up & set off. When arriving at the postcode supplied by the app, there was no car park. Just an empty private field. Nor was the house there, opposite as suggested. And the building names given by the app were also completely different or non-existent. I ended up driving around for 40 minutes trying to find somewhere to park because the postcode & directions were incorrect. It was simply so irritating that I have now deleted it.
