Fun and motivating!

I was looking for some form of motivation to walk more, and came across this when looking at other apps made by this developer (I play TT). I immediately started the Seoul wall. Being able to see my progress helped me to go further in one walking session than I have in years. I haven’t tried any of the other maps yet, but can’t wait!

This is so cool!

I‘ve had this app running for a while now and just completed the London marathon (in 11 days ooops). Right now im tracking my way across Europe and Hawaii! I hope they add more support for trails in the future!

Also they just removed the subscription which was a awesome move on their part, but I would gladly tip a few bucks if y'all added a tip jar feature. Just to support continued development.

Love this app! Recommend!

This app is so cool and makes exercise show the actual movement you are making on real scale famous places/marathons vs just walking around your neighborhood. It’s cool to watch your own progress. Definitely recommend!

Charge for literally everything.

I love nimblebit but wow this is so obviously a cash grab. Literally everything costs money. Don’t download if you want to use the app cause you will have to pay a lot.
