All you need to do is pick your playlist and go for a walk. The app will let you know when to switch from an Easy Walk to a Brisk Walk according to the plan.

### 5/5 — Galaxy

*2020-12-10, version 3.5.8*

I love this app! We need a version for the galaxy note, please!

### 1/5 — Stops

*2019-02-16, version 3.5.8*

On iPhone 6
On fast 12 minute per mile walks it stopped working 3 times in a row. Every time

### 3/5 — Crashing when accessing Journal

*2014-10-05, version 3.5.6*

I just downloaded this and it keeps crashing when trying to access the Journal. I am not able to enter goals. Will update when I have used.

### 5/5 — A Great App for me!!!!!

*2013-11-18, version 3.3.8*

300 pounds it's really helping me and encourages me to get my walk on.

### 4/5 — Love this ap, but have had recent issues

*2013-09-12, version 3.3.6*

I have been using this app for almost a year and I love it. Love being able to track my walks and time. 

Recently, however, I've identified some issues. The app is adding mileage that I didn't walk. Today, for example, my map shows me walking in a crazy jagged loop that I did not walk. I followed my usual path and today the program showed it a full half mile longer than normal. That affected my walk pace and calories burned. 

Not sure what's going on.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2013-07-24*

Nothing negative about it!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-06-19*

Had to subscribe !! But I didn't

### 5/5 — Review

*2012-10-28, version 3.3.1*

I absolutely love this app.. I never though I'd be walking 4+ miles a day, and I'm still improving. I highly recommend this app :)

### 4/5 — Great app for walking!!

*2012-10-13, version 3.3*

I really do love this app - it seems like most other apps are designed for runners, and the few walking ones are pretty terrible. The GPS feature is awesome and I like being able to comment on each completed walk. I was severely out of shape when I started this over 12 weeks ago. Being able to look back at my progress and realize how far I've come helps me stay motivated.  I really wanted to give 5 stars, but I have to acknowledge the chronic problem I've had with the music feature. More often than not, the music just stops working after about 30-40 minutes. Their answer has been to restart your phone, but I'm not going to do that in the middle of a workout!  Still, Power Walk has definitely been a great tool for me and I love how much better I'm feeling these days.

### 4/5 — Good App!

*2012-04-30, version 3.2.4*

I like this app.  I've started the program a couple of times but life intervenes... :)  one improvement I wold like to see in it, and other Bluefin apps would be an ability to schedule either the next or all workouts in the iPhone calendar.  That would be a cool update in a next version and would likely get 5 stars...
