Wicked cool
App is absolutely incredible and in the ultimate method of tracking areas where you explore (better than linear distance like Wandrer.earth and non-tiled apps like Fog of World, which permits weird micro gaps). Unfortunately draws incredible amounts of battery power though.
Really fun
I really enjoy seeing where I have been and unlocking new tiles, being able to show everywhere I have driven is cool. Makes me want to explore my area and go on road trips.
Very well executed (UPDATED)
Reminds me of the polish and pizazz of Advance Wars: Dual Strike, only with (necessarily) better resolution and no real competitive premise other than "have your phone on and go for a hike or ride vehicles for a day, and you will eventually have done that more than some other people who have also downloaded the app." Still, it's very well executed, and probably harmless as long as you can keep your phone charged. Sort of a fun "why not" toy to have, especially if games like CodeRunner and Paraversume are too distracting or involved for you. I noticed that most of the tiles unlocked in my town were done in straight lines that seemed to cross the whole place without turning, and I wonder if that's from spoofers or people riding aircraft. I guess you can't really do anything about the former without joining the (futile) arms race against spoofers. UPDATE: Someone ruined the ability to sign in using Facebook, which seems like a boneheaded maneuver. Logging in with Facebook isn’t the same thing as engaging with a billion fascists on Facebook. It was chiefly useful as a tool for logging into games. Not sure why fewer and fewer games allow it, or why none of them offer a reasonable or practical alternative, but i have to assume that it’s a reversible mistake, so Thickpolicy should reverse theirs as soon as they can.
UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2026: The app crashes more than it works. A patch note from three months ago says this was addressed, but either the solution instantly undid itself or this is a lie. I really don’t want to uninstall something I’ve been using for such a long time, that I began within days of a life milestone I don’t want to honor any less, especially if the developers are still paying attention to it (at least inasmuch as they still exist enough to say they’re paying attention to it).

Fun App
This is a good app to unlock the world. Problem is it is very battery hungry. It chews through the battery and generates alot of heat. This needs to be fixed
Facebook login does not seem to work on new iPhone
I’ve been using this app for years. Sadly having just upgraded to new iPhone I had the need to reauthenticate using my Facebook account but it doesn’t appear to work anymore 😢 Look like my years of travels may be lost forever as the apps not been updated for 2years *sobs*
Needs major bug improvement
It's been 2 years since its last update roughly, the app needs major improvements and fixes. It has lost many of my tiles I unlocked and I can't get them back, the app absolutely destroys your battery life which shouldn't even happen as badly with GPS usage anymore (it's worse than Pokemon Go somehow). I love the app but man I think it's time to retire it until they can fix it. It's not cared for anymore.

Great Travel Logging
This app is one of the few on my home screen!
I love road trips and hiking. I also love exploring and seeing new sights. I always had a Rand McNally map and yellow highlighter in the car and would mark where I’d been. Then I’d check the map to pick new, unexplored places.
This app allows me to create my own map of my travels. It’s easy to see where I haven’t been yet and encourages me to take new paths.
I joined up after they cutoff the air travel folks - hard to compete against those in the industry. After all, you can’t say you’ve been somewhere if you flew over it at 30,000 feet!
So now I’m getting family and friends involved and am climbing the ranks!
If you like maps, exploring …and if you’re just lil competitive, this is your app!

Not worth it
Can’t X out of the level-up banner without closing the app. Terrible interface design. Couldn’t even play for 5min. Deleted
Drains your battery
I have a new iPhone 13 Pro Max, no battery issues normally but having this app running in the background drained my battery from 100% to 0% in less than 6 hours. Not practical at all.
Excessive battery cost
Cool idea in theory but this app used up 30% of my battery life in just over an hour.
Lost My Account, otherwise good
Others are correct that battery drains quickly, so be warned. There aren't really many other bugs, however, and I believe it works well. My main concern however is I am unable to reset my account with my username. When transfering the app to another phone, I am unable to recover my progress on my account that was never deleted yet. I am not sure whether the account I have lost can still be logged in with my apple id or an email, and I haven't been able to contact them.

Is there any activity on this app?
Not sure what is happening but I do not understand why the thickpolicy website asks for donations (to keep this alive) and then when I donate through the app, I don’t even get the achievement. Never mind the fact that this app costed a couple bucks to obtain in the first place. If they really wanted to keep it alive, maybe release it on android as well.

Love this app
I love this app and have been using it since it was first released.
My phone gets very hot when it is tracking my Strut - is there any chance you could optimize the GPS usage so it doesn’t chew through the battery? Thanks in advance!

Exactly what l need, if only it worked properly.
Great concept, but unpolished. Also, drained my battery in 30 minutes, so also useless, would definitely use if improved.
Drains battery like a mf
I love Strut; I’ve been using it for the better part of 4 years.
Somewhat like and unlike Strut, I use two apps (Google Maps and Tile) which constantly uses my location. Maybe these apps don’t get my location at the same frequency as Strut but they don’t drain my battery like Strut does.
I really would like to see some effort to reduce battery usage in Strut like the aforementioned apps.

Game Keeps Crashing
I used to have this app on my old phone, and I really liked it. However, I recently got a new phone, downloaded it, and launched it. The second I was logged into a new account, the game crashed. I reopened it, but the same thing happened. I tried restarting my phone, as well as deleting the app then reinstalling it. Does anyone know the reason to this? This bug isn’t happening for any other apps.
