Pokewalk for android is better

Need better features

Doesn’t seem to work

Will there be an update so it works with pogo? All suggestions were follow but it’s not showing up as distance on game

Response from developer

Thanks for the detail — two things to check. First, please update to 5.7.0 (build 5323). In 5.6.0 a day froze after the first log, so later entries looked like they worked but never reached Health. Second, make sure PoketWalk is allowed to write both Steps and Walking + Running Distance (Health > your profile > Apps > PoketWalk). An app that tracks distance rather than steps needs that second permission, and it starts switched off. Then check the other app's own settings: many let you pick where steps come from, and if that is set to the phone's built-in sensor it ignores anything written to Health. It also reads on its own schedule, which can take a few hours. If it still doesn't show up after that, write to us from Settings > Contact Support and we'll work through it with you.

Still Doesn’t work, but at least my health app is counting the distance. Doesn’t do much more then that

Response from developer

We're sorry, and we understand the frustration - the app genuinely did not deliver what you expected. The root cause: until now the app only wrote a step count to Apple Health, with time stamps that most fitness games simply ignore, so your walks had no effect in the game. Version 5.3.0, released on July 31, rewrites this completely: each walk is now saved with the correct time interval and also includes walking distance in kilometres, which is what those games actually read. The bug where steps were not credited after watching a video is fixed too. Please update, and in the Health app make sure PoketWalk is allowed to write both Steps and Walking + Running Distance. We can't promise that any particular game will accept it, but this was the piece that was missing. If you paid for a subscription and are unhappy, reportaproblem.apple.com will refund you.

Misleading App

Invites the idea (based on icon design and name of app) that it adds steps/walks to Pokemon Go, however it does not work in that way. I suggest others to not download this app and look elsewhere!

Response from developer

That's fair criticism and we're sorry. The app logs walks into Apple Health so that fitness apps and games can read them, and until now it did that badly: only a step count, with time stamps most games ignore, which is why it had no effect for you. Version 5.3.0, released on July 31, saves each walk with the correct time interval and also with walking distance in kilometres, which is what those games actually read. We can't promise a specific game will accept it, and we're taking your point about the icon and expectations seriously. If you paid anything, reportaproblem.apple.com will refund you. You can reach us at https://loquedeverdadimportasite.wordpress.com/app-support/. Sorry we let you down.

it was good

this was so good at the beginning, but is now LOADED with ads and it doesn’t work anymore. even if i watch the 3 long ads that it is now, it doesn’t give me the steps.

Response from developer

You were right, and we're sorry. This was our bug, not something you did wrong. In the older version the steps were not saved after the rewarded video finished, and the ad could hang on the close button, so you watched ads for nothing. Both are fixed in version 5.3.0, released on July 31: steps are now written to Apple Health immediately after the video, the ads SDK has been updated, and walks are also saved with walking distance and the correct time stamps so fitness apps and games can actually read them. Please update and give it one more try. If you paid for anything and would rather have your money back, reportaproblem.apple.com will refund you, no questions asked.

Not working with Pokemon go

Doesn’t work with Pokemon go

Doesn’t work

Adds steps to health App but doesn’t effect Pokemon

Pointless - doesn’t work

I followed everything I needed to and didn’t work

Scam

Won’t even let you close the ad after it’s done playing. Doesn’t work at all. Same devs have made 2 other apps running the exact scheme just under different names.

Подписка

Что дает подписка, приобрел и ничего не поменялось ? Деньги верните

Response from developer

Приносим извинения - это была наша ошибка, а не ваша. В старой версии статус подписки PRO сбрасывался при повторном открытии приложения, поэтому реклама возвращалась, хотя вы заплатили. Кроме того, шаги не всегда засчитывались после просмотра видео. В версии 5.3.0 от 31 июля это исправлено: приложение при каждом запуске заново проверяет вашу подписку в App Store, а шаги записываются в приложение «Здоровье» сразу, вместе с пройденным расстоянием и правильным временем. Обновитесь и, если реклама всё ещё появляется, нажмите «Настройки → Restore Purchases». Если хотите вернуть деньги, оформите возврат на reportaproblem.apple.com - мы не будем возражать. Написать нам: https://loquedeverdadimportasite.wordpress.com/app-support/. Ещё раз извините.

It only registers to health app, not POGO

Does not work for registering steps in PoGO. Shows up in heath app but that’s it.

Fake

Developer tryna convince people that it works but it’s just an ad farm does nothing gave all permission too

Response from developer

We're sorry. The app was not doing what it promised, and calling that out is fair. There were real bugs: steps were not credited after watching a rewarded video, walks were written to Apple Health in a format most fitness games ignore, and a paid PRO subscription could lose its status when the app was reopened, bringing the ads back. All three are fixed in version 5.3.0, released on July 31, together with an updated ads SDK. If you paid anything, please request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com - we won't dispute it. If you want to give it another chance, update to 5.3.0 and write to us at https://loquedeverdadimportasite.wordpress.com/app-support/. Sorry for the experience you had.

Fake

Fake

Die App macht das,

Was sie beschreibt. Aber Icon und Name lassen noch auf etwas anderes schließen und das funktioniert nicht.

Response from developer

Entschuldige, und danke, dass du es sagst. Wir haben echte Ursachen gefunden und behoben: aufeinanderfolgende Einträge überschrieben sich und verschwanden aus Health, und die Meldung "heute ist voll" kam, obwohl noch Platz war. Das ist bereits veröffentlicht. Falls es bei dir weiter hakt, schreib uns über Einstellungen → "Funktioniert nicht?" — es bleiben Fälle übrig und wir sind dran.

Wow

This app doesn’t work

there's no point in an app

The application is good, can record the number of steps walked, but can not record how many kilometers you walked and because of this the whole meaning is lost, if you can add a function like this please.

Response from developer

Приложение записывает шаги — и теперь ещё расстояние, чего вначале не было — в приложение «Здоровье» на iPhone. Что с этими данными потом делает каждая игра, от нас уже не зависит: одни читают сразу, другим нужны часы, третьи не читают вовсе. Поэтому в описании мы не обещаем никакую игру.

Não funciona

Não funciona

Response from developer

Desculpe, e obrigado por avisar. Encontramos e corrigimos causas reais: registros seguidos ficavam um por cima do outro e sumiam do app Saúde, e o aviso de "hoje está cheio" aparecia com espaço de sobra. Isso já está publicado. Se ainda falhar para você, escreva para nós em Ajustes → "Não funciona": sabemos que restam casos e continuamos atrás deles.
