### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Weak on Weekly totals

*2019-12-16, version 3.0.21*

If I look at My Profile after my Sunday walks, I see a total that changes on Monday. Monday starts my week off with Sunday's milage, and Last Week shows the lower total from Saturday.

### 3/5 — Facebook keeps blocking!

*2019-10-19, version 3.0.20*

Regarding the walk results, Facebook keeps blocking my share posts all of a sudden. Marks it as spam or something. I’ve been using this app for years without issue until lately. What gives?!

### 4/5 — Was great, latest update broke it

*2019-08-30, version 3.0.16*

App was great, but latest update broke it for me. It crashes every time I try to open it. I can delete the app and try re installing it, but will probably lose all my data if I do.

### 2/5 — This last update is awful!!

*2019-08-30, version 3.0.16*

Since the update two days ago I can't get the app to open. I can see it in my open screens when I swipe but it’s not tracking anything. Very disappointed.

### 3/5 — Lots of issues now!

*2018-10-10, version 3.0.14*

Same thing happened to me getting logged out!  Now I somehow have three accounts and it zapped my chosen rescue as well.  I lost all my past pics and can’t get back into my account.  I sent an email to Best Friends and they responded back with desire to help.  Hopefully soon it will all be resolved.
Also, I’ve noticed over time that the distance calculator is approximately .25 or so shorter than it should be.  Not sure why this is but I run this app along with another and also on a known mile track and it’s always off. Frustrating!
Otherwise I usually love this app!  Love being able to donate to rescue of my choice!  Love being able to share pics with my walk and look at other’s pics as well.  That makes it fun!  Just wish it was in better working order.

### 1/5 — Broken update

*2018-06-04, version 3.0.10*

I love the app... when it works. Now it is an endless cycle of trying and failing to log in. Please fix!!!

Update: Over a month later and the app is still broken. This is sad for those who used to be regular users of the app. Please, please fix the login problem.

### 1/5 — Great idea, but

*2018-06-02, version 3.0.10*

I like using this app to measure just how far I walked with my dog. Stopped working recently, server connection problems. I’m on Verizon and everything should be working fine. Reviewed other reviewers and they are having similar problems. I’ll try to delete app and reinstall, but unlikely the app will function. A good app, which encourages exercising you and your pet. Should be far more reliable.

### 4/5 — Cool app

*2018-05-09, version 3.0.10*

Seems like it could be a cool app, but it crashes a lot. And I can’t seem to find where to add friends.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t track distance

*2023-04-26*

I downloaded this to try to support a local rescue, however it doesn’t appear to track my walking. 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Installed twice - doesn’t load

*2019-08-30, version 3.0.16*

All it did was crash over and over. SMH

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-08-30, version 3.0.16*

Just downloaded APP. I registered and now the App won’t even open. What a shame. Just crashes. I will wait a day and try again if it doesn’t work I will uninstall and reinstall. If that doesn’t work at least I know I tried. So disappointed.

### 1/5 — Update broke my app

*2019-08-29, version 3.0.16*

Now that you updated 2 fixes I cannot even open the app, it shuts right down.

### 1/5 — Didn’t record any movement

*2018-10-28, version 3.0.14*

I want this app to work because I love Best Friends and the work they do, but I’ve tried it twice (for a total of >4 miles), and it didn’t register any distance whatsoever.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t track my miles anymore

*2018-09-21, version 3.0.14*

I want to help animals but it won’t track my miles anymore and I live in a city not somewhere remote. I messaged the app and four days later no response

### 1/5 — Lost connection

*2018-07-16, version 3.0.13*

Was working great until recently. My daughter’s works fine, mine doesn’t. Both Verizon.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2019-03-29, version 3.0.14*

This is a great way to help my rescue! Easy to use and I’ve never had a single issue tracking and posting my mileage. I like how the leaderboard updates so quickly, and it’s nice that I can follow others from my rescue.

### 5/5 — Great

*2019-03-09, version 3.0.14*

I see the reviews with login issues but I’ve never had any problems. Been using this app for 2+ years now and everything works for me. Takes no effort to tap your phone before your walk and now you’re walking for charity.

### 5/5 — Memories

*2018-12-17, version 3.0.14*

We lost our older dog two months ago. I will be walking in his honor, thinking about years if walking together with him, listening to breezes and just being best friends, and sometimes hurrying to get home in time before the rain hit! Walk to raise funds for dogs, whether with your current fur baby or the memories of a lifetime of your beloved pups!

### 5/5 — Fun for all

*2018-12-05, version 3.0.14*

ResQWalk is a fun way to get your walk in and connect with other dog (and cat and pig) walkers across the country. I like to see all the pictures and also see what other animal welfare organizations are being represented.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2018-11-30, version 3.0.14*

I love this app! I’ve been using it for months now, every morning when I walk my dogs. I really like that it shows me a map of where I’ve been for each trip. And being able to see the photos and posts of other users along with the organizations they support is inspiring! What an easy way to benefit the animals doing something I do every day anyway. Highly recommended!

### 5/5 — A win-win!

*2018-11-27, version 3.0.14*

Love being able to help support homeless animals while improving my own health. Have to admit, I always go a little further because I know it benefits the kitties at my local rescue. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2015-11-19, version 2.0.43*

Two great reasons to use this app - it's user friendly and it supports a multitude of rescue organizations. I'm thankful someone discovered an easy way for people to donate to the rescue of their choice (regardless if they're short on cash). I haven't had a problem with it severely draining my battery and in LA I haven't had issues with losing the connection. I highly recommend this app to anyone that wants to support their furry friends!

### 5/5 — ResQwalk keeps me moving

*2014-08-09, version 1.4*

The app is simple-select your favorite animal rescue and start your walk. All mileage is logged using the gps and at the end of the week your total miles go to your selected shelters. The donation pool varies each week, but the money is split by total miles walked and the shelters are given the money according to the mileage value. Walkers can see personal weekly, monthly, and yearly walking totals. The app keeps me walking a little further each time.

### 5/5 — Great for rescues!

*2014-07-12, version 1.2*

We love this app. Not only because it benefits our org among many others (we have already received money from people walking for us!), but it inspires us to walk more (great to get off the couch!)!! Easy to use too. We've been telling everyone about it, those with and without dogs. It costs nothing but footsteps and you get to support a rescue or shelter or org that is helping those who have nobody to love and walk them. :0) we love ResQWalk! We are proof positive that the money actually does come back to the orgs :0)
