## What is My.Walk.Hike?

My.Walk.Hike is a fun and easy to use iPhone app for tracking your walking, hiking or jogging activities. It provides advantages over other GPS-based apps: 

• Easier to use with an auto-pause feature 
• Does not require WiFi or cellular connection
• No logon required and all data is stored locally
• Record waypoints with optional photos
• Can get you “Back on Time” or “Back by Dark”
• Allows you to trace your way back
• A GPS auto shut-off battery saver, and
• Can be resumed if terminated for any reason


EASY TO USE
Just tap “Start” and the app does the rest.  There is no account setup required.  No registration required.  The app does not even require a WiFi or cell phone connection, just a GPS signal.  My.Walk.Hike operates in the background so you can use your iPhone to make and receive phone calls, play music, or run other apps all the while My.Walk.Hike is tracking your activity.

AUTO-PAUSE 
My.Walk.Hike has an auto-pause feature that allows you to pause up to 60 minutes (by default, settable to 5-60 minutes in Settings) before the app asks you if your activity has “Ended?”  With Auto Pause, only the time you are actively moving is used to calculate your average speed. 

NEVER LOST
With My.Walk.Hike you are never lost!  You can request the app to retrace your route back to where you started even if you do not have any network connection.  It will let you know when you are on-track and alert you if you should get off the trail back.  Even if you accidentally terminate the app or if the app gets terminated by the system, the app can be resumed and show you the way back.

BACK-ON-TIME
Have you ever got caught out after it’s too dark to see or got back late.  This is because you didn’t know when to head-back.  With My.Walk.Hike, all you need to do is set the “Return Time” or select “Back by Dark” and it does the rest.  It alerts you when it is time to head-back, displays how fast you need to go, and how fast you are currently going.  It also displays an Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) back at your starting point based on your current location and speed.  

With My.Walk.Hike, you can set the “Return Time” when you start your activity or anytime during your activity and you can even choose a different route back and My.Walk.Hike can still get you back-on-time!   

SAVE AND SHARE YOUR ACTIVITIES
The app automatically saves your route map and activity details locally on your iPhone.  You can share your route map and activity details via email or Facebook,  The app can also assist you in marking any number of waypoints and allowing you to include any number of photos with each waypoint.  At any time you can email the waypoint locations and optional photos to anyone.  This is great to let others know about hazards, points of interest or setting a future meeting location.

BATTERY SAVING  
My.Walk.Hike can automatically detects when you have ended your activity and shuts off the GPS to save your battery.

### 4/5 — Love the app!

*2024-03-08*

Any chance you could add something that tells the temperature in the next version? Lack of that is the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-06-04, version 5.3.5*

Getting the same issue I have with the my.bike.rides app.  After a few minutes getting a message about a memory issue and stops. Had the my.bike.rides app for years with no issues until that started happening. Got this app to see if it would work but it’s the same problem. May be a problem with my iPhone, but haven’t figured it out yet.

### 5/5 — Great hiking app

*2021-11-05*

This app has a lot of features that are provided in an intuitive way.  You don’t need an account to use it, and all data is stored on your device.  No Internet connection is required, and it can even run with the device in Airplane Mode to extend battery life.  
It keeps a map and a nice set of statistics for each hike that you can browse or email.  I use this app daily to track my walks, and find it to be reliable and easy to use.  I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2020-11-26*

My wife and i have been married for 50 years, we live in Florida,
We have been going to the Smokey Mountains for 35+ years, all we do is hike and “EAT” we absolutely love this app, it the easiest app to use and it does everything you need when hiking on trails or especially if you want to just get off the main trail and make your own trail. As long as you have extra battery power for your phone, you will never get lost. “VUST LOVE IT”

### 3/5 — Daniels Preserve

*2019-12-08*

Beautiful day. First part easy followed by follicular sandy surface. Many ant hills. Janet met a new friend, Bossy the cow. She Spotted 6 piglets. Very lightly traveled preserve.

### 1/5 — My walk hike

*2019-10-28*

Terrible app does not stay connected.

**Developer response:** You may want to check that you have Locations set to Always in Apple Settings or the app will lose connection when your iPhone goes to sleep.  Also insure you have Background App Refresh or again the app will lose connection.

### 5/5 — Set your goals

*2019-09-29*

The APP gives you all the visuals and statistical information, keeps you on track. Gives all the positive feedback to maintain a great workout schedule. I’m 69years old. Feeling better after three months of hourly walks then I felt in a 20 yrs. My goal is 15 minute miles and a 1hr walk everyday.

### 5/5 — Simple but perfect

*2019-09-27*

I needed something to track my daily walks and this is perfect. Shows tracks a number of stats including your route and speed.  When it stopped working briefly due to iOS 13.0 issue the developer was quick to reply to my message. Ultimately it was an issue with iOS 13.0 that went away with the upgrade to 13.1, but it’s nice to know support is available if you need it.

### 4/5 — Great.  But.

*2019-09-10*

I have used this app for a while.   Like it a lot, esp the detailed history after the walk or hike.  Recently, when I have tried to email the map and history to a friend, I get an error saying email needs to be set up.  Email is set up and works with everything else.  Something hosed in this app.

**Developer response:** Are you still having issues with emailing walk Details and Map?  All that is requires is Apple Email be setup.  Not sure what the issue you are experiencing is. The app just ask iOS if your email is set up and if not sends the message you got.

### 5/5 — Only app that gets you back on time

*2019-05-26*

Love this app.  Easy to use.  No logins required and does not require internet access to work.  Also the only app that can get you back on time!
