### 3/5 — Good info but needs live location

*2024-08-30, version 1.9*

There’s loads of good info in this app, but it really suffered from not showing me where I was on the map. I don’t know the area well so finding where I was in relation to walks was hard. A spot showing my location would make it much better.

### 3/5 — Good start but needs development

*2024-04-27, version 1.7*

I use on an iphone and it uses apple for directions which are no where near as good as google maps so it would be nice to have the option to change. 
While it lists a lot of walks, its no where near complete. It lists one for bolderwood but when there there are three other walks. 
It would be nice to open the app and see the walks in a map relevant to where i am.

### 2/5 — GPS Didn’t Work!

*2023-02-25, version 1.5*

I finally got round to using the app having had it on my phone for a while. It’s well laid out and makes it easy to choose a walk and find it’s start point. However, the GPS never kicked in to enable me to follow the route! I ended up using my OS app to follow the route that was highlighted which was less than ideal. If the GPS issue can be resolved then this will be a superb app!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-11-26, version 1.3*

Used this earlier for a 4 hour walk across the stunning New Forest and it worked seamlessly! Really great app - would recommend

### 5/5 — New Forest Delights

*2022-10-01, version 1.2*

We have found the New Forest App for walks an essential element for exploring hidden gems in the New Forest that otherwise may be missed as it gives you an in depth guide with all the information you could need.
Absolutely priceless and so easy to use.

Thank you.

### 5/5 — Beautiful walking ideas

*2022-06-04, version 1.2*

Some lovely ideas for walks for newcomers to the area.

### 5/5 — It’s useful and free

*2022-05-23, version 1.1*

Downloaded the app and started using it straight away. It located several gems in the area that I’d have otherwise been oblivious to. I’ve found it a use for both planning and navigation

### 5/5 — The New Forest

*2021-12-05, version 1.1*

We love walking in the forest . Such a variety of wonderful trees Beautiful scenery love seeing the ponies. Always try to do at least a six mile walk
 and we are in our seventies but feel so much better after and I’m sure our working cocker spaniel Harry does too.

### 3/5 — It’s alright, could be improved

*2021-09-25, version 1.1*

Used this app on our trip to the new forest. Helped us choose a walk. Would’ve been better if there was pictures of the walk and you could do directions in app or via google maps not only on Apple maps. You also can’t zoom in far enough to see what direction to go in sometimes so we got lost twice.

### 5/5 — Brilliant!!!

*2021-09-09, version 1.1*

We use this app all the time for our weekend dog walks! It’s absolutely amazing as well as being easy to follow the routes. 5⭐️from me and my family! Would highly recommend😆
