## What is PlainWalk?

PlainWalk is a walking app where you draw a pure white map with your own feet.

Open the app and the map is empty.
Start walking, and only the roads you actually walked appear, one line at a time.
Roads you take often grow darker and thicker.
Roads you walk for the first time are recorded as ground you pioneered.

Take a different street home tonight.
Turn into the alley you have never tried.
Small adventures like these stay on your map.

■ Features
・Your trail is drawn onto the blank map in real time
・First-time roads count toward your pioneered distance
・Roads you walk often grow thicker, revealing the shape of your daily life
・Background recording keeps going after you close the screen
・Live Activity shows your distance on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
・A Home Screen widget shows today's pioneered distance and your map
・A real-map view overlays your trail on the actual streets
・Daily walk history with trail previews
・Pin "spots" to your map with a photo, a category and a note
・Replay a single walk, or watch your whole map grow as a timelapse

■ Privacy
Your location and walking records are stored only on your device.
Nothing is ever sent to a server, and no account is required.

Why not turn that still-blank corner on today's walk?

### 5/5 — かわちい🥰

*2026-09-18*

シンプルなデザインで、歩いた道がアートになる仕組みがとってもワクワクします☺️遠距離の彼とふたりのちずを作って共有し、落書きのように少しずつ増えていく感じがとってもかわいいです！本当の地図と答え合わせできるのもいいですね。ふたりして楽しんでいます。

### 4/5 — いいアプリではあるんだけど

*2026-09-17*

ブラックモードを追加して欲しいです！！システムで自動で切り替わるやつも追加して欲しいです！！

### 3/5 — ON・OFFについて

*2026-09-15*

記録時、ONの操作をアプリを開いてする必要がある。日常の中でこれを意識しないといけないのは厳しい。常に記録されており、気づいた時に見返して楽しむというような仕様だと良い。

**Developer response:** PlainWalkをご利用いただき、また貴重なご意見をお寄せいただき誠にありがとうございます！

「常時記録されていて、後から見返せるようにしてほしい」というご要望、とてもよく分かります。日常のログを手間なく残したいという視点において、非常に参考になるご提案です。

現在、記録のON/OFF操作のあり方については今後の改善テーマとして検討を進めております。一方で、PlainWalkでは「歩く時間や散歩そのものを、ひとつの特別な体験として意識的に楽しんでいただきたい」という思想も大切にしており、常時自動記録の導入については体験のバランスを含めて慎重に検討を継続させていただきたいと考えております。

なお、記録の開始や終了をうっかり忘れてしまう方に向けて、少しでもスムーズにお使いいただけるよう、リマインド通知やホーム画面・ロック画面から素早くアクセスできるWidgetなど、日常の負担を減らす工夫も用意しております。もしよろしければ、ぜひ一度お試しいただけますと幸いです！

これからも皆さまにとって心地よい散歩体験をお届けできるよう、いただいたお声を大切にアップデートを重ねてまいります。今後ともPlainWalkをよろしくお願いいたします。

### 5/5 — いつもの道が楽しい

*2026-09-15*

ちょっと寄り道したくなる地図アプリ

**Developer response:** レビューありがとうございます！「いつもの道が楽しい」「寄り道したくなる」と感じていただけて、これ以上ない喜びです。まさにそのような体験をお届けしたいと思い開発しております。これからも毎日の移動が少しでも楽しくなるようなアプリを目指して改善を続けていきますので、引き続きよろしくお願いいたします！

### 5/5 — おもしろい

*2026-09-14*

記録を開始するとそこから止めるまで記録をしてくれるのですが、1回1回記録を開始するのが面倒くさく、常に記録してくれるものなどがあれば嬉しいなと思いました🙇🏼‍♂️
しかしとても面白いアプリなのでこれからも使っていきたいと思います！

**Developer response:** 温かいレビューと貴重なご意見をありがとうございます！アプリを楽しんでいただけてとても嬉しいです。
また、記録の自動化についてのご要望もありがとうございます。仰る通り、毎回開始ボタンを押す手間が省ければより快適になりますよね。バッテリー消費やiOSの仕組みとの兼ね合いもありますが、今後のアップデートに向けて重要な参考として検討させていただきます！これからもご愛用いただけますと幸いです

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.12.0 — 2026-09-18

・Your profile, redrawn: your rank, total pioneered, your own map and everything you have collected (spots, badges, shared maps) on one sheet. Settings moved behind the gear at the top right.
・Records, month by month: this week at a glance, the days you walked as dots, and every walk named after where it started.
・A membership card for Plus: with Plus, your profile card turns black and gold, with your rank on it.
・A feel for every tap: buttons and tabs answer with a light tap, and holding to end a walk beats like a heart until it finishes.
・Pioneered distance, counted more precisely: new roads are measured along every step, so totals may shift slightly.

### 1.11.0 — 2026-09-17

・움직이기 시작하면 알림: 프로필 › 움직이기 시작할 때 에서 고르면, 움직이기 시작하고 몇 분 뒤 알림이 오고 탭하면 기록이 시작됩니다. 앱을 열어 두지 않아도 됩니다. Plus라면 기록도 저절로 시작됩니다.
・공유 백지도를 새로 만들었습니다: 초대는 LINE이나 메시지로 보낼 수 있는 링크가 되어, 열면 바로 참여됩니다. 산책 옆에 표시될 이름을 직접 정할 수 있습니다.
・Strava 등의 기록 가져오기: 프로필 › 가져오기 에서 GPX / TCX 파일을 읽을 수 있습니다. 궤적 하나가 산책 한 번이 되고, 아직 걷지 않았던 길은 개척 거리에 포함됩니다.

### 1.8.0 — 2026-09-14

・공유 백지도: 가족이나 친구와 한 장의 지도를 함께 키울 수 있습니다. 모두의 길이 같은 종이에 담기고, 더 많은 사람이 걸은 길일수록 굵어집니다. 기기 밖으로 나가는 것은 직접 보내기로 한 산책의 선뿐이며, 언제든 되돌릴 수 있습니다
・산책이 끝난 뒤에도 사진 추가: 산책 중에 넣지 못한 사진은 기록에서 그 산책을 열어 추가할 수 있습니다. 찍은 자리에 놓입니다
・지역마다 얼마나 걸었는지 보기: 지역 배지 안이 걸은 구역으로 칠해집니다. 처음 걸은 지역은 산책이 끝날 때 알려 드립니다
・새로워진 점을 앱 안에서: 업데이트 후 달라진 점을 한 화면에서 알려 드립니다. 메뉴와 프로필 › 앱 정보에서 다시 볼 수 있습니다

### 1.7.0 — 2026-09-11

・Destination flags: choose a place on the real map, and your blank map shows only the direction and the distance left. No route — how you get there is yours to decide
・Pick a place from the map: tap a shop shown on the real map to make it your destination. When you have not decided where to go, you can look around the map instead of searching
・Search for a place: results are sorted by how close they are to what you are looking at, and appear as pins on the map too
・Place details: opening hours, phone and website, from Apple's own place card
・Someday places: keep the places you want to visit one day on your blank map. Spot one while walking and tap it to head there
・Flags last for one walk. They all come down when it ends, so the next walk starts from a clean sheet

### 1.6.0 — 2026-09-08

・Pioneer ranks: your rank rises with the distance you pioneer. A marathon, the edge of space, around the world, and on to the Moon — every step is a real distance
・Walking stats: tap the card on your profile for a day-by-day grid, weekly and weekday charts, and your personal bests
・Map colours (PlainWalk Plus): Mint, Blossom, Lavender, Sky, Sepia and Forest. They are used for share cards and timelapse videos too
・Trail and photo pin styles are now yours to choose (PlainWalk Plus)
・The map zooms out much further. Trails stay as smooth lines all the way
・A new option dims other trails while you record, for drawing with your walk
・Each walk now records its own step count
・Trails on the real map are drawn as smoothly as on your blank map
