### 5/5 — So simple and good

*2024-04-19, version 1.7.2*

Very minimalistic. 0 ads. Good info. Would rate over 5 stars if i could

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-03-27, version 1.7.2*

Nice and simple, distances seem to be accurate, no forcing me to buy a stupid premium $29.99 subscription, will keep using this for a while.

### 5/5 — Just want I wanted

*2023-12-20, version 1.7.2*

I am keeping track of miles walked. This not only does that but also show you a map of your walk.  Thanks for the app

### 4/5 — Simple enough

*2023-09-24, version 1.7.2*

Works well; voice announce of mile times now broken, with recent phone upgrade to IOS 17.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-02-11, version 1.7.2*

I love this simple easy to use app. Works great. Please update app so it syncs with iCloud so I can use app with my iPad Pro. Thanks 😀

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-09-20, version 1.7.1*

This was an excellent app. Unfortunately it does not announce the duration of last mile which I really liked since I upgraded my iPhone to 14 PRO. 

Hopefully you can update the app soon. Really appreciated.

### 5/5 — Simple and perfect

*2022-09-11, version 1.7.1*

Does exactly what I want it to without clutter and superfluous features.

### 4/5 — Tracker

*2022-08-16, version 1.7.0*

I really like this app. I have been wondering how far I ride my bike. Now I know. The only problem is when looking at the final trip information the year 2022 over laps the distance traveled. If not for that I would give it a 5 star rating.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Application for the Casual User

*2022-07-29, version 1.7.0*

I selected this application because of its simplicity and ease of use.  It provides accurate data on distance traveled either walking, biking or driving.  I use it to track my work mileage and download the data to a CSV file and upload it into Excel.  If my company needs any additional information that isn’t already provided by Solo Trip, I just add it at that time.  My wife just recently downloaded the app and has been using it to measure distance and record route traveled while biking.  If you want a solid app for measuring and recording travel, I definitely recommend Solo Trip.  By the way, it is free.

### 5/5 — Great little app for walking.

*2022-07-09, version 1.7.0*

Does a great job of tracking my walking. Wish I could add some info to my trips would be nice. 👍
How about adding a notes function to this app. Been using it for awhile.

**Developer response:** Good idea!

### 5/5 — The best and simplest app ever

*2022-06-17, version 1.7.0*

Very simple app (text overlaps but that is ok)
I used it daily, in fact since I downloaded this year I walked almost 650 miles so far. It helped me walk 12 miles in some days. This is by far the best simple app if it stays that way.

### 5/5 — Perfect simple app

*2022-05-03, version 1.7.0*

I use this app to track mileage and like that it you can manually start and stop the tracking. My only one suggestion would be to be able to select monthly export of mileage or select parameters to export.

### 5/5 — Just what you need!

*2022-03-25, version 1.7.0*

Looked at and downloaded a bunch of apps. All were overly complicated and quite useless.
This, on the other hand, is super simple and incredibly useful. If you like running/walking, and just want your distance and route to be visible and then saved without fuss, THEN THIS IS FOR YOU. A FANTASTIC APP.

### 5/5 — Great walking app

*2022-03-17, version 1.7.0*

This is exactly what I was looking for!  A simple tracking application that shows a map and trip history. Absolutely perfect for my needs without all the confusing bells and whistles that permeates the other apps. My daughter also downloaded it and loved it as much as I do. Thank you so much!

### 5/5 — Excellent Distance Tracker!

*2022-02-26, version 1.7.0*

This App is brilliant! I’ve been using it for a month now whilst on my runs and I must say it’s so accurate and easy to use.

Before I start my run, I just tap the start button and then put it in my pocket and run. When I finish running I press End and it shows me my route and I like how the route is in different colours, depending on my speed. I also impressed how accurate it is on the exact route and where I crossed roads, turned corners etc.

Excellent! Thank you!

### 1/5 — Didn’t track distance.

*2020-08-03, version 1.5.0*

I gave up after resuming a ride then trying 5 times to start trip and it tracked time, but no distance. Very frustrating.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-06-11, version 1.1*

This app won’t track distance just time.

### 2/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2024-06-04, version 1.7.2*

I really like everything about this app, except it doesn’t record anything over 300 miles without crashing, doesn’t load saved trips very well and there isn’t a feedback option to message the developer

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work !!

*2022-10-04, version 1.7.2*

The pause button pauses the mileage field but not the time.All calculations are invalidated for trips.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t meet my needs but looks promising

*2022-08-27, version 1.7.1*

This is exactly what I was looking for. A simple way to track business miles I drive for tax deduction.  

The problem is that there is no way for me to manually edit/add trips if I forget to start the tracking. This is likely to happen many times throughout the year so I don’t see a way I can use this app. 

If I’m missing this feature or it is something you plan to add please let me know!

### 2/5 — Meh

*2022-02-23, version 1.7.0*

App has a large start/ stop button. Too many times I got done with an approx 2 mile walk to see that it shut down a quarter mile or so into the walk

### 2/5 — Inaccurate

*2021-11-04, version 1.7.0*

This was exactly what I needed to track my short interval runs during my longer walk, but for some reason it also counts the distance you go while it’s paused. This makes it useless unless you only track one single run with no breaks in between.

### 2/5 — Incorrect time

*2020-06-09, version 1.4.2*

The app works fine, but the time is two hours ahead of my time zone, and there is no way to change it.

### 2/5 — Need Feet

*2020-02-25, version 1.4.2*

Only units are miles and km

### 3/5 — Battery

*2023-10-29, version 1.7.2*

Does app use constant GPS location or does it spot check to conserve my battery?  Is there a link to FAQs for SoloTrip?

### 5/5 — Time to move

*2026-07-19, version 1.7.3*

This is a very friendly easy to use tool for my everyday walk! I recommend it for anyone.

### 5/5 — Keep it Simple

*2026-07-08, version 1.7.3*

Minimalist Distance Tracker with no distractions or extras you don’t need to look at, exactly what I wanted, well done, good product 👌🏻

### 5/5 — Simple

*2026-06-22, version 1.7.3*

Beautifully simple, easy, straightforward app

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2025-05-12, version 1.7.3*

I use it every day. Wonderful app easy to use. Does exactly what I need. Suggestions, please sync this app with iPad using iCloud. I have both iPad cellular and iPhone 16 pro max. Thanks

### 5/5 — It works well

*2025-03-15, version 1.7.3*

A simple, easy to use app that tracks distance traveled while on foot, bicycle, or automobile. Provides a map. Records individual trips. Distance/mileage seems to be quite accurate when calibrated against Interstate mile markers.

### 5/5 — Solo trip

*2024-12-30, version 1.7.3*

Simple app to show each walk / run on a map together with with the time and distance. It does that one thing and does it well

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2024-11-11, version 1.7.3*

When I walk on roads and trails, all I wanted was an app which tracks the distance and shows my path on a map. That without any fancy bells and whistles. Even better it’s free and no ads. Can’t ask more.

Technically, if I don’t make sense, what this app provides is exactly what all I wanted. 💯%

Update (Nov 2024): After many years if using it, it’s still my favorite best and exactly what I wanted. ❤️

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-10-27, version 1.7.2*

So simple and easy but useful!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2024-08-31, version 1.7.2*

Excellent simple easy to use app. Just what I was looking for. I wish it would sync with my iPad using iCloud.

### 5/5 — Simple like I was looking for

*2024-05-19, version 1.7.2*

So easy and simple to use. I don’t need a million upgrades to keep track of my pace and distance. Highly recommend
