Not working

It keeps loading and saying “blazing the trail“

Great app!

I love the idea of a virtual hike to not only motivate you to get more steps in but to explore at the same time🤩

One feature I’d love to see is the ability to add friends, so you could either compete with each other or explore the same trail together and track your progress along the way.

Such a fun concept overall! Great work!

Fun & Geat looking app

Such a well designed app with absolutely stunning artwork

Best step counter ever

One of the best app ever if you have an iPhone just download this app and add this to you Home Screen as a widget and the rest is awesome

Good, but!!

I like the app after I saw a recommendation over Insta. But can we have Garmin or Whoop support. This only counts steps if we have the phone on our hand. Can a version later carry that support?
