Total chaos

I asked for a 3 mile loop and it made a 10 mile route through a gated community and ending on the other side of the highway from the start.

Update: The developer explained how I can manually fix the generated walking paths. I appreciate the responsive support, but I really want a better starting point to make the app worthwhile. It probably works better in other areas, but I haven’t had much incentive to figure it out.

Hi Kliev, thanks for taking time to leave feedback, and for sending the additional detail through - I’m working on improving the routing at the moment for a future update.

One of my favorite apps!

MeandR is a wonderful way to explore, or just get ‘lost’ - in the best way. It’s great to find a walking route in the city if you’re traveling, but my favorite way to use it is in a park - just tell it how far you want to walk, tweak the route it gives you however you like, and have fun exploring trails you probably never knew existed before!

Hi Kliev, thanks for taking time to leave feedback, and sorry the app hasn’t worked for you. Could you email me some more details at support@goodbinary.com and I’ll see if I can figure out where it’s going wrong.

I discovered walking routes that i never knew about!

What a great app. I was walking the same, boring loop around my neighborhood until i discovered Meandr. I now have a variety of different routes of varying lengths to keep things interesting.

The map is really easy to use, allowing me to zoom in and out easily by pinching the map, and i can adjust the suggested routes by long tapping and then dragging on a waypoint.

Really cool app! Highly recommend.

Terrible app

There appears to be no manual. I can’t figure out to delete areas on the map where it shows the rout down the street and then back on the same street. It also appears that the map cannot be enlarged so one cannot get an accurate start or finishing point. It’s a wasted effort to use this app.

Great idea, well executed

This is a really cute little app that works really well.

I love that it will create circular walks (or runs!) from your house or work and then navigate you around them.

Great app for walkers

Great app for those who walk often but want some variation from their regular route. Keeps the walks varied and you can challenge yourself by setting the distance and pace for each walk.

Excellent for those who are working from home and want to get some motivation for regular exercise!

Nice to use and motivational 👍

Used this tons recently to suggest walking routes. Found some that I would never have considered otherwise. Quite satisfying as you follow the map and get the notifications that you are on track.

Not what I expected. :-(

I was looking for an App that would calculate a circular route starting at a location of my choosing. Instead I had to start at my house and walk from there.

I’m trying to create a 5 mile walk for charity and I thought this App would be the answer. It isn’t. Can you refund my £1.99? At my age, 72, I can’t afford to give money away.

Hi Michael, Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. Sorry the app isn't what you expected. I am actually working on that feature for an upcoming update but it's not there yet. In the meantime, if you want a refund you need to request it via Apple - here is the link https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204084

Quite good but could do with improvement

Just downloaded this and it appears to be ok - I haven’t used it to walk the route yet so cannot comment on the actual route that’s been created. I may be missing something but I would like the option to start at a specific point rather than my current location. I would also like the ability to choose from a selection of routes rather than just the one and the ability to sink routes with my iPad would be really useful to plan the route on a bigger screen and sync to my phone for the actual walk.

Hi Foofighterfan66, Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback. I've recently updated the app so that you can move the start of the route to anywhere you want (just tap on the flag and drag it). Your suggestions of being able to sync with your other devices are great and I will certainly consider including them in future updates. Any problems or more suggestions in the meantime, let me know at support@goodbinary.com

Great way of finding new routes to walk/run

After a year of lockdowns and "exercise once a day", it can get really tedious going out for the same walk or run every day.

This app is great because it chooses a route you might never have thought of, and because you tell it how fast you walk and how far you want to go, you get a circular walking route that you can easily customise.

I use it for walking my dog! Dogs get bored with the same walks all the time. This app is brilliant for giving my dog a surprise - it's a proper exploration app for her, because she never knows which park we will go to or which backstreets we will go through.

I've got one feature request: being able to save the plotted routes and name them.

At the moment, if you get a nice route and think "that one would be great for the weekend", the only way to save the route is to tap "start", wait for it to start, then tap "stop", effectively "failing" the challenge. This saves it into your history so you can try it again.

I think the app would really benefit from a history/saved page; perhaps the app could ask if you want to save the route before exiting the map, and it could allow you to name it ("lots of parks", "no main roads" etc), while also updating the saved route with challenge/history results.

That would make this great app into a 5-star brilliant app.

Hi "Evilplan", I've just released an update which, amongst other things, now includes the ability to save the routes, without having to start the challenge, and give them a name. Hope you like it!

I gave five stars, but..........

The thinking behind this app is sound. I have tried it out and I quite like using it but it has one huge flaw, it’s one way. You head out on your 5km walk, get to your destination and have to face another 5km to get back home. The app desperately needs a round trip function to be of any real value. Another ‘glitch’ is the settings section of the app, they don’t seem to work, at least the contact section doesn’t work. I had to leave the app and enter the App Store to write this review.

I gave five stars because the app itself is good, but it still needs a lot of work.

Hi Michael.D, Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and glad you like using it! I've just updated the app so it can now plot a circular route/round trip with waypoints. Hope you like it!

A beautiful little app!

Love it. Really good for me on my daily walks !

Nice idea

Doesnt always want to calculate a route but you can try again. Would be nice to choose the type of road to use, the complexity of the route and for it to use known pathways.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Bigcheese2001. I'm working on improving the app so that it gets a route each time, so watch this space. Thanks for the other suggestions - I will consider them for a future update. Any other suggestions or problems let me know at support@goodbinary.com.

Nice app to track walks

Nice fresh looking app. I like local walks and can use this from anywhere and to anywhere on the map.

Something different...

Lots of these apps around these days however this one is different! Perfect for those looking for a more relaxed approach to getting more excercise. The price is good too! Well worth it!
