### 2/5 — Not actually tracking

*2026-06-25, version 1.2.1*

It tracks my steps and I'm at almost 20,000 steps and it still says 0 miles progress.

### 3/5 — Such a good idea - but the app stopped working

*2026-01-04, version 1.2.0*

I absolutely love this idea of walking the Oregon Trail with my actual step tracking, and since installing the app a couple years ago I looked forward to my daily “campfire review” notification to see my progress on the trail. But a few months ago the app started to freeze when I would check it. I finally uninstalled it tonight to try and troubleshoot, but now the app doesn’t even show up as an option to install on my watch. I’m so disappointed that it’s gone!! I hope the developer will update it so that I can reinstall the app and start making progress on the trail again.

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2025-12-10, version 1.2.0*

It was a good app, but has suddenly stopped working so now it’s wasting my watch memory and space. 
It was brilliant until I hit ice springs now not worth it as not working or picking up my steps

### 1/5 — Can’t download on watch

*2025-10-28, version 1.2.0*

I haven’t even been able to use this. And no updates for 3 years kind of a bummer. I love the Oregon trail and still play it. I’ve played it on a Macintosh floppy back in the day. Got a handheld for roadtrips for the kids and have it on my phones too. The game is great but wish I could get the app to work on my watch. (Ultra 2)

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-08-07, version 1.2.0*

Freezes with any interaction. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Buggy!

*2025-07-07, version 1.2.0*

Like others here, this is a fun app. As a history teacher it’s a lot of fun to reach new historical points. However, when it freezes and will not show me my total progress that’s pretty frustrating. GameLoft, PLEASE fix this.

### 1/5 — Freezes

*2025-06-11, version 1.2.0*

The app freezes when swiping right 😡😡😡🤬

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2025-06-04, version 1.2.0*

I wish there would be an update to fix the freezing screens. Nothing yet.. I love this app.. Dev, please fix.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-05-26, version 1.2.0*

Cannot scroll to the right

### 2/5 — Please fix

*2025-05-16, version 1.2.0*

Loved this app but it wouldn’t let me swipe and when I tried to uninstall it to install it again it disappeared and now I can’t get it back.  Wish they’d make a fix
