Der Sch… lässt sich nicht mehr löschen!

Die App ist penetrant und übergriffig und lässt sich nicht löschen. So etwas habe ich noch nicht erlebt.

Best walking app so far

Found this cause I wanted to increase steps in a fun way and omg this has been so cute to be different character and it genuinely feels immersive with the quest and the map. Love it so far, I wish the subscription could be monthly instead of weekly but i guess it also makes sure I get my money with that way. Can’t wait to see new features and developments

A monthly subscription is available on the App Store now! You can find the current options on the subscription screen. And thank you for taking MistyWay along on your walks. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

I want to love it but…

The idea of a LOTR themed walking app is a fun concept and I was excited to use it with my friends at first. But the ai imagery everywhere is such a turn off. I’d really prefer sketches, crude artwork, or even nothing in place of the ai if budget is a concern, but I can’t support this financially if they can’t bother with keeping it human made. It makes me concerned what else they’ve handed over to ai for, which is a technology deeply antithetical to Tolkien’s view of what gives meaning to life. So yeah. I want to love it, but I can’t get behind it using ai.

The earlier AI quest images have been replaced with hand-drawn illustrations by Zaruhi Shamiryan. Her artwork has shipped. Alexander Veselov wrote the original story, and the world was drawn by hand over more than a year. AI assisted with translation into some languages. If something still looks wrong, send the scene and app version to support@mistyway.app. For text, include the exact line and language too. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Чудесная глючная штука

Приложение и затея классная, купила подписку почти сразу. Пользуюсь. Глючит жесть) но друзьям советую, ходим вместе. Вместе ворчим на глюки.

Желаю вам удачи и отлови оных. У вас отличная затея!

Jolie et made by human!

Application absolument adorable et toute jolie, illustrée par des humains (c’est important de le mentionner aujourd’hui). Génial pour des nerd fans de seigneurs des anneaux ! Je fais la courses avec mon père et mon frère pour voir qui va arriver en premier au Mordor hehe !

Expensive

$80 a year for a walking game? I think not. There are other that cost far less

Friends & Family is the cheapest per person when sharing, with four accounts on one annual subscription. The complete journey and story are also free to play. Premium adds optional features. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Loved until most recent update

Not sure if I’ll keep using after the most recent update with a leaderboard as the opening screen you can’t opt out of. I get other people must like it, but I just want to be able to opt out! I enjoy the story and tracking my own stats, not being competitive with other people I don’t know.

I'm sorry the update put competition in the way of something you enjoyed. Leagues can't currently be switched off, but you can leave them unopened and keep following your story. Your own stats are under Profile → My Steps, or the step counter on the walking screen. I'm planning to make the walking journey the opening screen again; I don't have a release date yet.

Эстетический шагомер

Если бы мне кто-то сказал, что ходьба может приносить эстетическое удовольствие, я бы посмеялась! Но это приложение полностью изменило мое мнение. Красивейшие пейзажи, приятный интерфейс, и, что самое главное, даже мой телефон заметил, что я стала ходить больше )))
Да, бывают баги, но во-первых, прекрасно работают обратная связь с командой разработки, а, во-вторых, приложение меняется на глазах и в лучшую сторону!
Продолжайте в том же духе: 50 звезд из 5!

Ольга, спасибо, очень поддержали! Здорово, что стало хотеться гулять чаще. За терпение к багам отдельное спасибо: я читаю сообщения и стараюсь быстро исправлять то, что мешает прогулкам. Постараюсь заслужить все ваши 50 звёзд 🙂 Николай, создатель MistyWay

Really loved until the update

I generally really enjoy this app! It has made me more conscious of my walking and vibes are immaculate and very autumnal adventure. But the recent update added a leaderboard with people who are not acquainted to that includes a demotion zone. I don’t like the way this makes it into a competitive app that takes away a lot of the calm adventure vibes and makes me not want to open it as much!

Leagues currently cannot be hidden or left. Their notifications can be muted under Settings > Push Notifications > Notification types > Leagues. The leaderboard itself will remain visible. I’m sorry this disrupted the quiet adventure you enjoyed. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Fun Fantasy Walk with Frogs!

I’ve had this app for about 2 1/2 weeks, and I love it! The art is stunning, the goals are achievable, and the quests are fun. Having something to work towards (and staying ahead of my friends on the trail) really motivate me to keep walking every day. I’ve tried many walking apps, but this is the only one that I’ve stayed consistent with.

Any bugs that I’ve encountered have been fixed quickly, and I’ve already seen two updates roll out to solve problems. I had an issue with my widget not displaying my steps or streak, and contacted support. Nikolai got back to me so quickly, correcting the issue, and asking me if there was anything that could make the app better. An absolute delight to hear from!

You can only travel 1.3 miles (2.1 km) per day on the trail, but the app still shows you how far you’ve actually walked outside of those 1.3 miles per day. I love this cap, because it makes the journey longer and keeps me walking. You can unlock your extra steps to finish the trail faster by paying for premium, or by using Fireflies (in game currency) that you earn by reaching goals, completing quests, earning achievements, and more.

I honestly cannot say that I’ve ever seen an app like this. The art, the motivation, the ability to turn my friends into toads for 48 hours, and the fact that I love Lord of the Rings make this a near perfect experience for me. Response times and bug fixes are quick. This is truly a wonderful app, and I’m in awe of the creativity. I love it!

I’m rooting for the friendships to survive the competition! Thank you for such a generous recommendation, and for getting in touch with me about the widget. I like your perspective on the cap. A longer journey can be part of the pleasure, and there’s no need to hurry to the end just because you can get there faster. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Brilliant

Im 13 got into lord of the rings at 11 and this is the best app iv ever seen i thank you for making this possible

Поддержать проект

Здравствуйте, Николай, пользуемся вашим приложением с девушкой, очень нравится. Но хотелось бы, конечно, чтобы шаги учитывались и в фоновом режиме. В остальном прекрасное приложение. Мне кажется, что проблему, которую, я затронул, можно как-то решить. Готов предложить свою безвозмездную помощь, можете написать мне в тг - @skripdeveloper

Fidlerdev, фоновый подсчёт шагов на iOS идёт через HealthKit, MistyWay читает шаги оттуда, а не считает сама, поэтому если фон не работает, проверьте в Настройках iPhone доступ MistyWay к шагам в Здоровье. Если после этого шаги в фоне не идут, напишите на support@mistyway.app, посмотрю по аккаунту. За предложение помощи спасибо, лучше туда же, на почту. Nikolai Создатель MistyWay

Really Fun for Fantasy Nerds

After finishing Fantasy Hike (while rereading lotr as I went) I wanted something else and was bummed thinking I wouldn’t get the same experience of reading a story as a reward for walking milestones. This app was a great find! While the story is not as good as lotr (obviously) the app itself is a big leap over fantasy hike. The art is lovely, the story is fun, and all the side quests and achievements constantly reward you for getting out and getting your steps. I recommend getting premium to be able to count more than 3000 steps. It is a little pricey but I believe in paying people for good work (and am lucky enough that it’s not a big deal for me).

Back on the road after finishing a whole adventure) Thank you for supporting the work behind this one. All your steps still record above the 3,000-step daily journey cap. Premium removes that cap, and earned fireflies can also unlock waiting steps without a subscription. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Two Days in and really like it

Update already: so it said I had over 300 fireflies and I could unlock my other steps for the day but after I clicked unlock, nothing happened and suddenly it said I was back to 95 so I dunno what happened there.

Two days in and it's pretty cool so far. I think the writing is done by AI because it's really similar to when I use AI to DM for my solo DnD games at home. Id like the writing to not have that AI style but it's not a deal breaker for me. I'll update my review in a few weeks when I've used it more.

If the fireflies are still missing without the waiting steps unlocking, please email support@mistyway.app with the balance, app version and roughly when it happened. No need to repeat the purchase or unlock to demonstrate it. The original story is by Alexander Veselov, and the world was drawn by hand over more than a year. AI only assisted with translating text into some languages. Please send the scene, exact line and language that felt that way so I can check the wording itself. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Отличное приложение!

Focto, «ходить не так скучно» это единственное, ради чего игра-шагомер имеет смысл. Полная история бесплатна от начала до конца, так что скучать будет некогда ещё долго. Nikolai Создатель MistyWay

Paywalled.

3000 steps per day limit on free version.

Unfortunate as this has real opportunity. However there’s better, comparable, options for free and/or substantially better monetisation schemes.

The complete story is free. The free daily allowance is 3,000 steps toward journey progress. All steps are recorded. Earned fireflies unlock waiting steps without a subscription, and Premium removes the cap. If sharing suits you, Friends & Family has four accounts on one annual subscription and the lowest cost per person. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Ummm

I came to this app from a blog stating the app was completely free. So after gaining all access to my personal information, the app then asks for you to pay and no way to bypass for the “free” that was offered. Don’t download this app if you are willing to pay $80 a year for access. I was really excited to use the app and it looks great so I will give 3 stars for presentation.

The complete journey and story are free to play. Premium adds optional features. You don't need it to continue. I'm sorry the payment screen left you stuck, especially after you'd already been asked to share information. Could you send me a screenshot of that screen at support@mistyway.app, with any personal details hidden? I'd like to check what's preventing you from continuing without a purchase.

Good game but slight bother

So I have had this game for a bit over a month and have loved it so much as I have stated in a previous review but my new slight bother is you can’t fully ever see the quest story expect for the initial show and acceptance. It also would be nice to be able to have a cleaner gifting option and to have the pacts back because I thought they were quite entertaining for a challenge with a friend and motivator. But besides those small complaints, I have loved it and am no longer having issues with the steps so thank you and amazing app!❤️

Thank you for letting me know the step trouble has stopped ❤️ Being able to reread a quest matters, especially when it appears in the middle of a walk. If Pacts are still missing or gifting remains awkward, please send a screenshot and your app version to support@mistyway.app. For Pacts, please show what appears in Friends. Nikolai Creator of MistyWay

Please remove the AI Slop

I’m extremely disappointed to have paid premium for an app using AI slop for their quest images. It looks bad and it’s disrespectful.
Paying a real artist to do a few quest illustrations *is* affordable, especially when you already are selling customization options.

Please consider removing the AI slop, I liked the app and I don’t want to have to stop using it.

Обидно, но методы оплаты определяет Apple, а не приложение. Обходной путь есть, друг может подарить тебе год Premium. Вы оба должны быть друзьями в MistyWay, дальше он открывает твой профиль, жмёт Gift Premium и платит через свой App Store. Подарок не продлевается автоматически.
