### 4/5 — Good but email issues

*2026-08-25, version 26.10.0*

I like the app as a whole, but I have tried to update my email probably a dozen times, and a few days after I confirm it, it reverts to my old email again and asks for me to update my email. It gets to be very annoying.

### 2/5 — could be so much more

*2026-08-23, version 26.10.0*

It’s a decent app. it tracks your walk. maps it out. Easy to share with friends. It just doesn’t quite hit the mark wit actual training support for walkers.

### 2/5 — Not the best.

*2026-08-23, version 26.10.0*

For a long time this was the only walking app I used. I eventually gave up on it because it was so often either pause or simply stop for reasons that I couldn't determine so that he walk was registered. Recently I resubscribed again, hoping that it had improved. It had not. But a second walk I found halfway through that it is stopped recording. Extremely frustrating! I have it as a 14 day trial. Unless it improves I'm going to give it up again. I have an alternative app that only records my steps but does it completely consistently. I have come to rely on this. It looks like in a few more days I'll go back to it.

### 5/5 — Love it!❤️❤️

*2026-08-23, version 26.10.0*

This is my favorite workout app.

### 5/5 — Great app

Great app. Keeps tracking miles a breeze.

### 3/5 — Constant updates

*2026-08-20, version 26.10.0*

This app is great for tracking walking distance but has constant updates. Seems like once a week there’s an update notification

### 5/5 — Dog walker

*2026-08-20, version 26.10.0*

It does the job it maps out my walk and give me mileage. Everything else in the app is a bonus.

### 1/5 — Way off!

*2026-09-04, version 26.11.0*

Most days I walk 5 1/2 miles with a 1500 foot elevation gain. 

Yet the total distance I walked shows anywhere between 3.8 and 5.5 miles on this app.  
I’ve used this app for years simply because I’m too cheap to pay for anything better, and it does provide a little information…. in my jacket pocket the device reads 3.8 miles. In my pants pocket it reads 5.5 miles… for the exact same route! As a result, the miles per hour and other information is all way off too.

If you’re at all serious about collecting accurate information, find something else. This is fine if you’re just having fun, and the numbers don’t matter. It’s really just another advertising vehicle with bogus challenges from sports companies trying to sell you something.

### 1/5 — Why the forced update?!?

*2026-08-28, version 25.8.1*

Out of the blue, the app demands an update. Unfortunately the update requires IOS16, which my iPhone7 won’t run, so now I can’t use it at all. Why force it? It was running perfectly well but now I can’t use it at all. So angry. Very poor show.

### 1/5 — New Update

*2026-08-27, version 26.11.0*

Ever since the last two updates to the app it doesn't open anymore. I love this app but it just won't open, I don't know what they did to it but fix it please!!!

### 1/5 — Totally sucks!

*2026-08-18, version 25.8.1*

I have an older iPhone 7. The ap stopped working saying I needed IOS 16.0 or above. My phone has 15.8.8, so your ap shut me off… completely. Message says “won’t support “! My phone will not take IOS 16.0! THANK YOU FOR YOUR “PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE “! After over 10 years of use, you shut me off! NICE!

### 1/5 — Grrr… goodbye 👋

*2026-08-17, version 25.8.1*

No longer works on iOS 15.8.8… boo!

### 1/5 — needy

*2026-08-09, version 26.8.0*

too many feedback requests

### 1/5 — Completely useless

*2026-08-03, version 26.8.0*

Fails to track movement accurately. I selected mountain biking and the app tracked me in a dead straight line straight across as having ridden across large body of very deep water!
Utterly useless.

### 1/5 — Cancelled and still trying to charge me

*2026-07-24, version 26.8.0*

I cancelled this subscription before the trial ended and they try to charge my card the fee consistently!!! My subscriptions shows as cancelled but I am still getting the notifications saying they are trying to charge me!! Fix this!!!

### 1/5 — Frustrated with accidental, pausing.

*2026-07-24, version 26.8.0*

It seems this app is way too sensitive and somehow I managed to hit the pause button now on two or three of my walks. That’s frustrating! Also, I don’t like how when I close the app it turns it off. If I could close it it would stay out of my way while I’m walking. Why don’t you keep it running while it’s closed.?

### 1/5 — Not worth it !!!

*2026-07-23, version 26.8.0*

Used to be FREE!.. with all the basic features!.. now it doesn’t even tell you your mileage!! Without upgrading to a PAID VERSION!.. for a walking app???🤬
