But it gets only 3 stars since I am thiiiis close to choosing a different tracker because MMT makes it impossible to track a trip without fooling with one's phone CONstantly, if you want to listen to an audiobook or podcast or music at the same time. Here’s why: I use MMT while walking my dog, and I like to play something to listen to at the same time. If the dog stops for a sniff or a pee, or if we happen to be going too slowly for the gps to track our progress, MMT beeps in notification and temporarily stops tracking. Fine, fair enough. The problem is that every single time this happens, the notifying beep ALSO shuts off whatever music or audiobook I have going, and this doesn't start up again when tracking does; I have to manually restart it. Every.single.time. I have to dig out my phone, unlock it, open the audiobook or music app, restart the book or music, put the phone away again. This is every few minutes when you're walking a dog who likes to sniff. It's seriously ridiculous; I'm sure there are plenty of MMT users who listen to music or podcasts while on their run or walk or bike trip and would really love to just hit 'start' and 'play' and go. PLEASE make a setting to turn MMT tracking-has-stopped notifications OFF so they they don't interrupt the audio on the phone and result in a truly maddening user experience! ### 3/5 — GPS Not Accurate *2024-07-22* To be fair, I’ve been using the free version before deciding to upgrade to paid. Firstly, there were no instructions to be found. Perhaps I missed them. Route tracking was poor and lacked the map detail to accurately track the route and distance walked. After 4 weeks of tracking trials, I move on to a much more accurate walk route tracker. One good thing about this app is no sign up was required. ### 4/5 — Does the job *2024-06-03, version 5.12.1* Does the job ### 5/5 — Love it *2024-01-02, version 5.11* Works perfectly ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-12-28* All I need to track my walks ### 5/5 — Really pleased with this app *2023-12-26* Does what it needs to do and does it well and without bugs. Thanks for a great product. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2023-11-22* Even a non tech like me can use and very useful info. ### 5/5 — Movement tracker *2023-11-12* Accurate account of how far, how fast, for how long. Really impressive the tracking information for the day, week, month and year. Very pleased with the performance and information storage. ### 4/5 — Cool easy app *2023-09-28, version 5.10.1* Very user friendly ### 5/5 — Rovinman *2023-08-23, version 5.9* Easy to use, accurate. Great monitoring tool. ### 5/5 — Great walk tracking app! *2023-07-28* Have used this app for a month and it hasn’t failed yet. Easy to use. 😃 ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-07-15, version 5.9* I use this for everything and it has never failed me. ### 5/5 — Great! *2023-07-01, version 5.9* Pretty detailed maps and a good calorie tracker ### 5/5 — Around the pond *2023-05-21, version 5.8.2* Great information ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-02-10* Needed something to track my travels for work. This does it well ### 5/5 — Super easy! *2023-01-02, version 5.7.2* This is so easy to use! I don’t know why I waited to pop it onto my phone ### 5/5 — Walking for fun *2022-12-08, version 5.7.2* An excellent app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Signing up *2025-04-14, version 5.13.2* I tried registering an account twice but it was never successful. It would say it was registering but then completely disappear followed by taking me back to the signup page again. I take this as a sign of how well the app would even work. ### 1/5 — Will not work *2025-01-04, version 5.13* Unable to even make an account. It just does nothing. Do not bother to download. Deleted ### 1/5 — Great *2023-09-14, version 5.9* Love it ### 1/5 — No privacy. Not user friendly *2021-08-15, version 5.6* Random people following me. I can’t figure out how to make my profile private or how to block/report spammers ### 1/5 — Strangers can follow you *2021-08-15, version 5.6* I don’t like the idea that complete strangers can follow you. If you go to the Map my Tracks website on a desktop (but not on a mobile) you can remove them individually but they can opt to follow you again. PLEASE INCLUDE AN OPTION TO BLOCK NON-FRIENDS FROM FOLLOWING ### 1/5 — This app sucks! *2020-05-26* It maps the first 5 minutes of my walk then stops tracking... what’s the point!!!! So disappointed ### 1/5 — Nope *2019-05-16, version 5.3.5* Sometimes when I use this app It shows that I’ve walked way further than I actually have, is tracking way off distance, shows that I walked places that I haven’t. Today I know I only walked 3/10 mile at most and app had me at 1.5 miles. Bye bye! ### 1/5 — non funziona! *2017-04-12, version 4.8.3* Su iphone 7 non funziona, l'impostazione localizzazione è attiva sempre, anche in background ma non la riconosce, nel menù della app è spuntata la casella "attivo in background" ma non è cliccabile....è evidente il problema!! ### 1/5 — MapMyTracks *2016-04-26, version 4.4* Xchè i messaggi le istruzioni e aggiornamenti non li mandate in lingua italiana ? ### 1/5 — Recensione *2015-11-03, version 4.2.1* Faccio la stessa strada ed ogni volta il kilometraggio e diverso quindi precisione poca mi dispiace Roberta ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — First time *2025-12-24* No complaints, although the altitude levels may be a bit off. A walk from the same start, finish place showed a 6’ difference. ### 5/5 — First trip *2025-10-26, version 5.14.1* It was awesome ### 5/5 — Love the way it works - online or offline *2024-10-19* I’ve used this to track distances, elevation changes, speed rate. All have been great resources in hip replacement recovery & weight management. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2024-09-28* Each morning I try to walk or jog a few miles and Map My Tracks is a great app to help me monitor my not only my distance but keeps track of miles on a weekly basis! ### 5/5 — Brill *2024-09-21* Love this app. Motivates me to get moving ### 5/5 — Tried many apps - This one delivers! *2024-08-27* I always thought my needs were simple, but I’ve tried and deleted several other similar apps because they fell short. Very happy with this one, and the free version is just fine for me. It updates my distance, speed, and elevation in real time. It gives believable stats on cumulative uphill and downhill. (If I hike a loop, I want to now how much I climbed, not just zero gain because I ended where started). And everything I tested actually works. This is definitely my go-to solution. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2024-07-28, version 5.12.1* Top marks for this app ### 5/5 — Great for tracking hikes! *2024-06-26, version 5.12.1* Easy to use, great summary details about my hikes- like it very much! ### 5/5 — Walker@talker473 *2024-02-12, version 5.11* Love this app ### 5/5 — Great for mapping *2024-01-05, version 5.11* Love this app!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
