What's New in PlainWalk

1.17.0

October 12, 2026

・A page for every day: open Notes under Profile. The day's walk, Spots, stickers, area badges and thoughts are already pasted on. Move them around, write in handwriting or round letters, add washi tape and hand-drawn doodles, and share the page as an image or a short video. Pick from five page sizes, including 3:4 and 16:9, and make as many pages a day as you like. A share card can come along too, with Decorate in your note. It works on days you don't walk, too. ・Leave a thought as you walk: while recording, tap Thought on your map and write a few words. They stay where you were. Tap a trail on your map to see that walk's thoughts and photos; they also pop up as speech bubbles when the walk replays and in your notes. ・Now in Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Italian: PlainWalk follows your iPhone's language. Traditional and Simplified Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Italian join Japanese, Korean and English, in the app, the widgets and on Apple Watch. ・Plus as a one-time purchase: plus can now be bought once, with no subscription. On the Plus page, slide the plans to the left to find Lifetime. Already subscribed? Switch to Lifetime is at the bottom of Profile. After switching, cancel your subscription in App Store settings. ・Doodle on the roads: open the real map, tap Doodle and trace the streets with one finger to draw a picture. It is kept under Profile › Collection › Doodles. Pick one on a walking day and its dotted outline guides you on your map until you have walked it. ・Hold to the light: in Make a video, turn on Hold to the light. At the end of the clip the real streets rise through the paper. Post a walk and let people guess where it is. ・Plant several flags and choose the order (Plus): on the real map, tap Set a destination and keep planting: the map stays open until you tap Done. Tap a flag on your map to choose the order you visit them in. When you reach one, the guide moves on to the next number. ・Send a flag to a friend: tap a flag or a Someday place on your map and choose Share. Send the link with “Meet me here”: your friend gets the same flag, and you each find your own way to it. Without PlainWalk, the link opens a page with the place on a map. ・Share stickers with their finish (Plus): share a sticker and it goes out in its finish: hologram, foil, transparent or paper, on a transparent background you can paste into messages. ・Cleaner stickers, and draw a loop to pick anything: stickers are cut with finer edges. If the subject it finds is not the one you want, or several things end up as one, draw a loop around what you want on the photo and that alone becomes a sticker. ・Map outlines (Plus): turn on Show map outlines in Layers to lay faint city borders and the coastline under your trails. You can tell which area you are in and where the land ends, with no roads or names added. ・Badges for China mainland, Hong Kong and Macao: area badges now cover China mainland district by district, Hong Kong's 18 districts and Macao. Walks you have already taken there count too. ・Walks in faraway cities on a shared map: when someone on your shared map walks in a city far from where you are looking, a small triangle at the edge of the screen points the way with the distance. Tap it to go there, and tap again to come back. In Map settings, tap a person to jump to where they walk. The real map now opens on the part of the paper you are looking at.

シンプルにニーズに合う

愛用していた海外のログアプリがサービス終了して数年、いくつものログアプリを試しては「コレジャナイ」感を感じてそっと削除してきましたが、やっと!!欲しかったものが見つかりました!

主に旅行中の経路を残しておきたい私には、ON/OFFできるのも嬉しいし、記録した経路を地図に重ねて見られるだけで大満足
強いていうなら、地図アプリはGoogleマップが使えると嬉しいです!

コンセプトからはずれそうだなあと思いつつさらに欲を言うと、別アプリのチェックインと連動できたり、期間を決めて抜き出した記録にラベルをつけて保存(y/m/d-y/m/d:xx旅行、のような)なんてできたら、個人的には最高ですね🫶

買い切り希望

地図に記録する精度がとても良く、正確に記録できていて感動です。プラスへのアップグレードが買い切りだともっと嬉しいです。少し値段高くなっても良いので買い切り希望です。

最高のアプリ!ドライブや電車旅にも対応あれば即Plus課金します!

ミニマルなデザインとウィジェットの美しさが最高で、歩くのが本当に楽しくなりました。

徒歩だけでなく、サイクリングや車のドライブ、電車移動などでも使えるようになるとさらに嬉しいです。移動手段の自動判別やモード切り替え機能が実装されたら、間違いなくPro版に課金します!

今後のアップデートをとても楽しみにしています。

스레드에서 발견해서 한번 써봐요

좋을듯요

アップデート不良

アプリをアップデートしたら、サブスク登録しているのにアプリに反映されなくなりました。また、過去のバッジも消えました。復元の仕方がわかりません。

Response from developer

ご不便をおかけして申し訳ありません。 いつもご利用くださりありがとうございます。 まず記録についてですが、歩いた道や開拓の記録は、Plus の加入とは関係なく端末に保存され、iCloud バックアップにも残ります。加入していても、解約しても、アプリを更新しても、記録が消えることはあございません。エリアバッジも記録から作られるもので、消えることはございませんのでご安心ください。アプリが加入を確認できないあいだは、いちばん歩いた 3 つ以外に鍵がかかって見えなくなる仕組みで、加入を復元すればそのまま戻ります。 次に加入が反映されない件ですが、Plus は Apple のアカウントに記録として残っております。 アプリを入れ直したときなどに、稀に端末と加入の結びつきがいったん外れることがあるようですので、今回はこれが起きたと考えています。お手数ですが、画面下の「プロフィール」を開き、Plus の案内の下にある「購入を復元」を押してください。復元が終わると、バッジも元どおりに見えるようになるはずです。 それでも戻らない場合は support@plainwalk.app までご連絡ください。 サポートさせていただきます。
