BoB’s Morning Walks
Just retired and found the joys of walking in the morning this app just add a bit of fun to it. I’ve also doing the 5K Couch to 5K. The walk is good for the off days. Thoroughly enjoying it.
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…

Trying to con Australians
The story starts out great, but once you get to episode five, they ask you to pay for the subscription. It says that the subscription cost $34.99 in the US for a year. The equivalent of that in Australia would be currently $53.70. So, why are they trying to charge Australians $80 for the subscription?

Good Game just 1 suggestion
I really like this app and I’ve been using Zombies run for about 5 years now as well, but I wish in The Walk I could play music from a different app as well and when i hit a checkpoint in game, it would stop my music so I can listen to the checkpoint audio without having to manually touch an episode. This way I could listen to music while on my walk as well. Overall good app.

The 'story' isn't worth the bugs.
I wanted to like this app. It sounded like a fun way to entertain myself and gamify my walks. But the choices that the developer made about the implementation ruined the experience.
First, I don't for the life of me know why it didn't just use Apple's step counter to figure out time walked like every other walking app does. Why did it need me to set if so that it ALWAYS knew my location? And when I wouldn't give it those permissions, it would only sometimes count time walking and then only when the app was open. Switch to another app with it running in the background? Good luck with that. Phone locks the way it's designed to do when not actively in use? Good luck with that.
And that brings me to the challenge mode. The app randomly skipping time walked really makes a difference when it wants you to walk 90 minutes in 24 hours. Because 90 minutes turns out to be a lot closer to two and a half hours. But I walk a lot, so with just a little extra effort, I was on track to do it... until the app crashed when I had like 10 minutes to go and lost ALL MY PROGRESS.
If the story had been even remotely good, it might have made it worth putting up with the terrible app, but it's a mess of cliches and bad stereotypes mixed with a predictable story and cardboard cutout characters. I'd believe that a middle school student or a committee of clueless executives wrote this. Not a novelist.
I almost never leave reviews for apps but this one has been such an annoyance and a letdown.

I like the premise
I like the premise of this, making getting out for a walk more enjoyable but for 2 days in a row now I’ve started up the app and my current episodes (the sentry challenge) progress has restarted despite not being past the 24 hours.
Motivating
I am a person that has trouble with motivation to exercise. This app genuinely motivates me. I want to do episodes over and over to get every medal and complete every challenge. I love it. Make more apps like this!
Poor effort.
Doesn’t have any Apple Watch support so have to physically hold the phone in hand whilst walking.
Having to look at the screen every few mins to click the next story is lame.
Useless app

Nope
Poor programming cancelled my progress on the third stage. No thanks.
No hands free?!?
This game demands that you stare at your phone the entire time you are playing. If you don’t, you will miss items and the audio won’t play. Great idea, terrible execution.
Bad interface and dishonest
This app has a bad interface, it’s annoying to get the episodes to play all together without stopping every minute or two.
Plus it is advertised as free but then there’s a paywall a few episodes in. Sad I wasted time with it.

Challenges reset before done
I like this app for the main episodes but every time I try to do a challenge I get partway through and then the app resets my progress and I have to start over. This is extremely disheartening. For example, today I got more than an hour through a 92-minute challenge when it reset. The only way I’ve completed any challenges is by keeping my phone unlocked with the app open for the entirety of a challenge, which is ridiculous when it’s over an hour and a half long. Considering that I’m paying for this app, I’m very bummed.

Frustrating pricing option
I really enjoyed the first few free chapters. I was happy to purchase further until I realised this was subscription only. Not interested in the complete bundle with the Zombie options. Just want the walk. Disappointing as not worth it as a subscription.
Good idea, bad app
Great idea and fun but for the 3rd time I’ve been trying to complete the third episode and it just resets when you’re about 80% done.
Not working
I’ve been at the exact same place for the last three days. Probably going to delete it since it no longer works. Sad :/
