Enjoyed it at first, now it doesn’t work
I used this app for several months and enjoyed the virtual hike across Europe, though it was disappointing that it updated distances only overnight rather than live. Then it stopped updating them altogether. It won’t let me enter them manually either and the text on the screen of glitchy. So basically it’s dead now. :-(

Brilliant Aid to Fitness
I find this app great for keeping me motivated to walk. You can easily set up your own route and set distances to be covered each day by choosing your own Mission end date. You can see your progress in Streetview within the app. My Fitbit transmits my distance covered each day automatically to the app.
It keeps me walking! Not bad for an 80 year old!

Useful tracker
I have found this app very useful for keeping track of how much activity I do and to keep me motivated. I have a couple of health issues that require regular exercise and this app has been great for keeping me active regularly the support team are great at getting in touch if I have asked for help or assistance with the different functions of the app. Would recommend the app for anyone who likes to keep track of what exercise they do, the app connects with other tracking devices.

Excellent For Motivation
I have used this application for four years to ride a bike (virtually) across the USA, across Canada, and from the Artic Ocean (Pudhoe Bay) to Seattle. Being an (ahme) older person, this app allows me to stay motivated and keep exercising. It is simple to use and any issues I have had with the App got a quick resolution. I am now on a rowing mission. I like this App so much I just bought two more years subsciption.

MVM
I love the ability to make my own routes which I have connected to my Fitbit, I also like the link where you can calculate mileage for things like weight lifting. It keeps me motivated.
Doesn’t work
I have not been able to continue with my mission as the interface with my Apple Watch has ceased to work. I have followed the support suggestions but it is still flaky. Very disappointed as I did the 1000 mile walk last year and it worked seamlessly.
Bike Across America
I always wanted to bike across America and with this app I am 83% thru my virtual mission. Started off on SanDiego and ending in Portland, Maine while riding my indoor bike. I Just could not be happier with this app. The best part is when life event happen, you can ride extra and then backdate those distances - there is an option to catch back up.

Crashes or hangs
Nice app, but many of the UI items are too small. It also hangs each time you open it. Usually I have to open twice for it to work on iOS 15.6.1
Hard to use
installed the app but still jump to the browser to join missions, what the hell? Not even mention that it never find the mission I need to join.
May 2022 Update Killed Apple Health Updates
This app has been necessary for my logging of my Big Canada Run distances daily and it continues to be a problem with Apple Health.
I’ve disconnected Apple Health, uninstalled and reinstalled the app three times and it still won’t log my distances automatically or even if I force an update.
Perhaps it will magically start again on its own but it looks like I’ll have to remember to manually enter my distances each night after midnight.
If I take part in the same charity run starting in July, I hope this app is finally working more reliably by then.

App doesn’t launch
Great app, when it actually opens?
Love it but has issues
I love this app and participating in the virtual challenges but every couple of days the app won’t open and I have to delete it and re install it. It’s annoying. I don’t know if anyone else is having this issue.
Disappointing
Brilliant idea, poor execution. Paid the extra for the premium.
Downloaded to use with ‘walk1000 miles’. Linked to apple health to record walks. Downloaded three days of data, then stopped. Tried deleting the app and reloading , still only three days data.
Cannot recommend this app at all.

App no longer works after new update
Using it for big canada. I did the last ios update and it doesn't work now.
Too many problem
The idea is good but there are just too many frustrating issues with this app. Me and my friends joined the 1000 mile walk group challenge, but can never see each other on the map, even when we’re right next to each other on the leaderboard. I have to keep restarting my phone to get the app to open. It won’t retain the connection to my health app, so I have to calculate and post all walks manually. I just want it to do what it’s supposed to do!

ANCOP Virtual Mission
This app is not user friendly at all that a lot of our participants are not able to install and use the alp. It is very frustrating and in a lot of times, we cannot even enter the miles we walked. I think like 90% of the 107 teams will not reach their destination in 40 days. Unless they allow us to extend for another month, it will be very frustrating and just a waste of time and money.

What’s with the colours?
EDITED: 17-July
THANK YOU!!!! Colours are fixed and app is great! The link with Apple also working smoothly!
Well done!!
Original:
The new app (July 2021) is a good upgrade on the previous - but some of the colors for my particular mission (Walk1000 miles in UK) are impossible to read. Pale grey on white background and vice versa. This detracts from all the good things in the app. I also use the Conqueror app (by same developer and almost identical features),and those colors are high contrast and easy to read.

New version is a step backwards
The new version is so much worse than the old. Really hard to see your friends on the map since nearby people are grouped into a number. So you zoom and zoom and then find out it’s not them. And instead of having everything on one page to scroll down, I need to jump through menus to see the data. And once you go into a page the menu changes so it’s not obvious how to go back.
Terrible design. It as if they just had ideas of how to change things but never asked users and never tested with any data.
Can’t wait to finish this mission so I can never use this again.

Bad
Doesn’t work with my LastPass password keeper. Someone isn’t on the ball at MVM.
Update
I was using the app as a feature of Walk 1000 Mile challenge, although clunky and a little dated the app was functional for my needs.
However, the new update is a great improvement, the app is faster and smoother and works brilliant.
Well done 👍
