Suck a fun way to walk more!

Love this app — genuinely makes me want to walk more just to see the widget move. Super clean design, works exactly as it should.

Only wish is more hikes to choose from (only 4 right now), but I totally get that’s a lot of content for a small dev team to put out fast. Really excited to see this grow — keep up the great work! 🥾

Awesome

One of the coolest apps I’ve ever used, so simple yet so awesome. Would love it if you could connect with friends somehow but even without that it is and awesome app.

Great app and a very fun idea!

Just one issue: the music keeps switching off everytime I freshly open the app. I have to go to settings and toggle the Sound off and then back on to get the music.
Developers please look into this!

Otherwise a great app!
