I carry my phone in a fanny pack and even though I consistently walk 2+ miles in the morning, it comes up as .17 or this morning .1/too short to track. Not sure how it’s supposed to work, but I would assume most people carry their phone in a pocket etc so this won’t work. ### 3/5 — Help? *2023-02-07, version 3.0.26* I’ve tried to use this app several times and while it records the time I walk I don’t get the mileage hence, I can’t support my chosen rescue. I don’t see any kind of help function available through the app. Love the concept and really want to use it. ### 1/5 — Ugh *2020-10-24, version 3.0.24* I really want to participate in strut your mutt day to raise money but I can’t because everytime I try to create an account it said server connection error !! I have an iPad and iPhone and I tried on both and can’t do it with either one ! Please fix ASAP and I’ll fix my review ### 1/5 — Updates *2020-10-03, version 3.0.24* I'm not even signed up, and I’m updates on my progress. What?!? Not impressed. ### 5/5 — works great for florida service dogs unc *2020-09-13, version 3.0.24* ive been using this app since the day bailey started it. its had its issues over time but has had none for a couple years now. people tend to forget to turn the walk on other then that its great. we get a few donations every quarter from the miles our team walks. every little bit helps us out! we are greatful for bailey to start this and then donated the app to best friends society and we are glad they continue to support the app! ### 1/5 — Can’t open app *2020-07-10, version 3.0.24* I’d like to use this app and share with my walking friends, but it’s not opening. Please please fix. I had to give a star to write this, but will change it if it starts working. Thank you. ### 3/5 — Unreliable *2020-04-30, version 3.0.21* I gave it three stars due to the concept. I get to raise money while walking. However, I have to start and stop the recording of my walk several times before it will recognize that I’m walking. I missed logging a 2 mile walk one day because I didn’t realize it wasn’t recognizing that I was moving. Also, when it does actually record my walk, it consistently shorts me on mileage. ### 2/5 — Can’t login anymore... *2020-04-29, version 3.0.21* Really loved using this app on my morning walks with my dog until I accidentally logged out. Anytime I try to use the “forgot password” function, I get a message that there’s a server connection issue. Now I can’t get into my profile anymore. Disappointing to say the least. ### 3/5 — Not accurate total mileage for rescues *2020-02-03, version 3.0.21* I really love the concept of this app and the fact that it gives back and encourages both walking and rescuing but I don’t think the total calculations for each rescue are accurate. I’ve been using it for a couple months now and primarily log all my walks with one rescue but their totals per month and per year have not changed since I started. For instance, adding the activities from the activity log for January for Players for Pits I got 141 miles but last month totals listed is 103 miles and has been 103 miles since I started. So it doesn’t seem to be giving credit to the rescue for actual miles logged. A difference of pennies really but I likely won’t keep using it because of that. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — Hit and Miss *2019-12-17, version 3.0.21* I want to love this app but I can’t. It’s so hit and miss weather it will work or not. The new map is not that appealing either. I can’t even move the map to take a complete picture of my walk. I used to be able to do that. I take screenshots. I would make the map smaller and snap. This new map won’t let me move the map and snap a shot. Update: same issues happening with the map but now I see I can’t post to FB only Twitter. Well I don’t have Twitter. ## Frequently asked questions about ResQwalk ### How does ResQwalk help animal welfare organizations?
