Well designed and easy to use. ### 4/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-09, version 1.3.1* this app rocks and it’s something i’ve been looking for but it’s definitely got some bugs. My app often completes blocks ahead of me and marks them as previously walked even when I haven’t, this is usually when I have walked some blocks surrounding or head. I’m sure this is just bugs that will be worked out and overall the UX of the app is great, straight forward, easy to use, and visually not overdone. Walk on! ### 4/5 — Island bug *2026-07-02, version 1.3.1* I like the idea of the app, but I just want it to work in background - instead it always shows up on the island without me opening it. It’s annoying to the point that I’m thinking of removing the app. I hope devs fix it. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Please add more cities! *2026-06-28, version 1.3.1* This app is so useful and makes walking outside so much more fun! It’s been encouraging me to take longer walks and explore more parts of this beautiful city. Only thing I’d like is for more cities to be added as well. Overall, easily one of the best apps I have on my phone. ### 5/5 — Excellent, privacy oriented app! *2026-06-21, version 1.3.0* …and does well what it promises! A win. ### 5/5 — This app changed my life *2026-06-19, version 1.2.1* I’ve been using it almost every day and clocking 10-20k steps easily just trying to fill up the grid. This scratches such an insane itch for me and games my brain into exercising so much more. Genuinely excited to go on long walks and it is my favorite part of my day now, thank you for making this! ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-06-18, version 1.2.1* Just don’t become some weird stalking targeted advertising app ### 4/5 — Allow us to sync Google location data *2026-06-15, version 1.2.1* Starting from scratch after 5 years in the city voids my interest :( other than that it’s cool tho! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app seems to have been abandoned *2026-09-13* I loved this app when I first found it but it had started turning off walks sometimes with and sometimes without warning. Making it so a have to re walk a block for it to get counted. I find myself spend more time making sure the app it working than I do enjoying the new parts nyc I'm seeeing. Yes this app in addictive but now it feel like a job instead of a passtime ### 1/5 — Why takes so long to update?? *2026-07-16, version 1.3.4* And why does it keep needing to be uodated every day?? No other app us like this ### 1/5 — Good concept, terrible performance *2026-07-07, version 1.3.1* A really cool app but it’s performance is nothing short of terrible. It took 46 seconds for the app to open up. Will share screen recording with developer if curious. Unusable app until performance is improved ### 2/5 — Haven’t Worked in a Week *2026-07-31, version 1.3.7* My app wont let me use it until it’s updated… but I’ve been trying to “update” it for over a week. Idk how much longer I’m going to wait. ### 2/5 — Buggy not accurate tracking *2026-06-18, version 1.2.1* Does not correctly track all my walks. I have it set to automatically track my walks, but the one time I literally clicked "start walk" to manually start tracking, nothing was tracked. I was in an area of Manhattan that I'm not normally in and wanted to make sure it tracked the blocks I walked. I even walked a different route back to the subway station! But none of that was tracked ### 3/5 — Freezes *2026-09-30, version 1.3.7* Love the idea of the app, but it constantly freezes and does not record my entire walks, sometimes just part ### 3/5 — Love the idea, poor execution *2026-07-06, version 1.3.1* The app consistently fails to track multiple blocks in all different neighborhoods. I love the idea but I think there are significant kinks to work out. ### 3/5 — Good concept but weird storage issue *2026-06-29, version 1.3.1* Great concept but takes up a massive amount of storage in Apple Maps for some reason. I had 8 GB of storage taken up that only once I deleted this app did that clear up. ### 3/5 — Good app but doesn’t always work *2026-06-18, version 1.2.1* I’ve been using the app for 2 weeks now and when it works, it is a great. However there has been several days where the app does not always track your walks. Perhaps I accidentally paused the app when I am checking my messages or changing Spotify playlists but it is frustrating when hours of walking was not tracked. ### 3/5 — Use this app a lot *2026-06-11, version 1.2.0* This app needs to remove itself from the island on ios. It steals the navigation island, making navigation while driving or on foot HORRIBLE. I love this app and want to keep it but this feature needs to go ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-10-15, version 1.3.9* It can be very frustrating at times. Will turn itself off randomly and doesn't always count blocks the first time. And you end up having to walk back and forth several time. And it often thinks there are public walkway where there isn't one. But this app is addictive. I wish i could toggle walked and unwalked blocks on/off independently. So i could see both together. ### 5/5 — This is cool *2026-10-07, version 1.3.7* Yes it’s cool. Get it. Use it. The end. I hate writing reviews. It’s free. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-09-20, version 1.3.7* This is such a fun way to track your adventures and encourage you to try some new walks for your route. I really like it. ### 5/5 — incredible and doesn’t take your data *2026-09-17, version 1.3.7* this app is such a lovely visualization, I wish it was here when I first moved! love love that it doesn’t take your data too ### 5/5 — Best app there is *2026-09-14, version 1.3.7* My favorite app on planet earth. Wish it were around 44 years earlier. ### 5/5 — Walk More *2026-09-12, version 1.3.7* This app has inspired my partner and me to walk a lot more. There’s so much to discover in this beautiful, chaotic city. ### 5/5 — I get around *2026-08-13, version 1.3.7* This app inspires me to be more active and explorative myP to take turns I ordinarily wouldn’t have stumbled upon opportunities. I ordinarily wouldn’t have. ### 5/5 — Fun app *2026-08-09, version 1.3.7* Fun app, making me walk a lot. Wishlist: hopefully next version can have better power management since I think other apps can track same way without the power drain! ### 5/5 — Interesting Idea *2026-07-30, version 1.3.7* I was trying to do this with Strava. So no login ha? All the information is stored on device and will be lost if you change phone? ### 5/5 — If you love NYC you will love this app. *2026-07-23, version 1.3.7* I grabbed this app almost the week it was available and I’ve been loving it ever since. I can’t say that it has driven more walking on my part (I already walk at least 3 miles every day within an average of 5 miles per day) but the app has driven me to walk new blocks that I don’t think I’ve been on in months or even years. If you love New York City then you’ll love this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
