Can’t pause

I love the concept of this, but I hate that you apparently can’t pause it or at least it’s not obvious how. you have to finish each walk in one piece which isn’t fun and makes me not want to use the app.

Wish they had more

I would LOVE more stories in this format. I’m a fan of ZRX, but this is a lot more in line with what I need — motivation to move more throughout the day.
That being said, I really wish that it synched with fitness trackers.

Makes me want to walk more

The storyline and the voice actors are really good. It makes me want to walk more. Thank you for creating this app.

Doesn’t keep progress

This used to be a fun app that encouraged moving, which would open new chapters in the story. I kept using it even after the entire game became available as a podcast - where you could listen to all the episodes without effort.

But in the past year the app has stopped keeping or remembering one’s progress, so even if you’ve finished an entire episode and the app states as much, it won’t ‘remember’ your progress when you come back.
You’ll have to start all over again.

Talk about a mean ‘gotcha’!

I’ll be deleting The Walk and looking elsewhere for an app that doesn’t forget my progress.

$90???

I LOVE the app. I love the stories. It has been the main thing motivating me to go out walking to the point that I decided to pay money to keep going. I did not realize that the $7 per month only unlocks the first 10 episodes. After that you have to pay NINETY DOLLARS a year to unlock more. I feel totally ripped off. If I knew I was only unlocking a few episodes I would not have paid even $6. I can’t fathom paying almost $100 every year for access. This is an amazing app and I wish it had some affordable competitors. As of now, I guess I have to leave disappointed…
