Deletes key features
Have left a review before but clearly has been deleted… this app used to have a feature where you could send a friend a link to track the walk live… this was suddenly and unexpectedly removed.
Also, you have to keep opening the app to track your walk… if you go any more than an hour without checking you will loose the walk. Useless

Barely Useful/Minimally Reliable
Provides the barest minimum of information. Does not integrate/report data to apple health app (or perhaps only the absolute base). And for some reason decides not to function randomly with no warning on an afternoon walk when nothing on iphone or watch changed from morning walk.
I realize you get what you pay for and its a free app. However Tractive should realize a badly behaving intro app is NOT going to convince most to buy their gps (which frankly is too big) or their service plan.
So long unaTractive.

What happened?
Seems to have stopped working all together. Can’t get past the loading page.
Great!
I use this app to track my dogs walks for fun. The only thing I wish I could do is edit the duration. I often forget to “stop” the walk in the app so my dogs have apparently been on 1hr+ walks. Super minor since I’m the only one looking at it. It does track distance too so that might be tricky to change. Maybe we could have an option to set a “home base” and have a pop up whenever you reach it to ask if you are done with your walk. Or there could be a reminder for when you’ve been in one spot for a certain amount of time.

It’s ok
Works on the phone but not on the watch ‘ as I forgot my phone and I had the app on my watch but it didn’t start! I’ll give it a 3star for now and check back in a few weeks with updates
Great App
Extremely accurate & helpful app that allows you to accurately record how far you have wandered with your furry friends & allows you to build up your walks.
latest updates
I used to like this app, but I am very disappointed after this app changed and redesigned their interface. 1) Background color is always black. We cannot change it back to its original white background. 2) The map used to be great - clean and simple (just like the map shown in the preview section). Now there are three maps choices but they are either too cluttered or too dark. We cannot select the map we used to have. 3) A settings prompt always pops up when the app is started. The prompt asks u to change the notification setting. There is no ways to stop it from reappearing if we choose not to allow notifications.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback regarding the latest app update, I have passed this on to our developers for future consideration. Cheers, Bonnie, Tractive
Do Walk 2 Fixed 👌 Superb Again 👍..
- I have been using Dog Walk for over five years, it’s Absolutely Brilliant…
- there was a ‘wobble’ with Dog Walk update to Version 2, most of our history vanished, but now - it’s back again and the App is Absolutely Brilliant Again -
- the App is tracking your phone as ‘you’ walk, not the Tracker attached to your dog..
- This is perfect because the app shows your walk not the additional ‘distance’ covered by your dog…
- great that the history is working again with all my walk comments…
- just in time to re-new my 5 year airtime contract…

Update Ruined It
I have been using this app for a little over a year for my personal dogs and clients dogs and it has been absolutely incredible. Ever since the recent update I am no longer able to share my walks, it sends a blank link. I already contacted their customer support and after one reply for an attempted fix that I’d already tried (delete app, restart phone, reinstall app), it fixed nothing. Since, I have heard nothing from them. Hoping they get this fixed soon.. I had to download a different dog walking app but would like to come back to this one if they get this resolved 🥺

New Update Fails
I am a Pet Sitter have been using this app since the beginning. I have absolutely loved it! It helps me track my personal walks with my dog as well as any dog walks I for personal clients or Rover clients. I use this app along with Rover because the Rover app tends to not track walks all that well. However, recently the app was updated and I can no longer share walks with clients and I can no longer save walks once they’re completed. They refuse to load and save no matter what I do. This is super frustrating because I have loved this app up until now. 🥺 I’m hoping this issue may be fixed soon!💝🤞

Lost real time share button
Since the update yesterday I can no longer share my dog walk in real-time with my family so they know where I am. The app info says it should still be a possibility but the button top right to share has vanished. Can it be reinstated?
Lost all history
I’ve just had a new phone and transferred over to discover I have no history. I’ve also found that since updating to the latest version, it’s hit a miss as to whether it will save it to your history.
Really disappointed as the earlier version I must’ve been using was obviously a lot more reliable. Might have to look at an alternative. Such a shame because it was a good app. Especially considering it’s free

Dog Walk Tractive
Love this app but really wish you could integrate with Apple Watch as at the moment have to open this app separately to watch whilst my other apps work together with Apple
Ideal for dog sitters
I am a dog sitter, so this app is very useful as I can share where we’ve been, how long we’ve been and any photos I’ve taken with the owner. The owner is then reassured that their fur baby has had a good walk.
Needs an update
I love using this app, I use it daily for work as a dog walker. The only issue with this app is if you accidentally close the app down you lose the walk you are currently doing. It’s a shame when you open up the app it doesn’t save to history or there is no option to resume. An update to fix this would be great!

Brilliant!
Really enjoy using this to track our walks, if I was to make an improvement I would suggest adding a section to say where the dog sniffs so it could be tracked. I hope this is added in future updates.
Thanks for a great app.
Thanks for a great app.
Does the job
Functional and easy to use… Does the job! Only complaint: if you accidentally close the app while using it, your data is deleted.
Suggestion:Add a resume button before deleting or allow users at least 30 seconds to a minute before deleting the ‘in progress’ history.

Exactly what I was looking for
I’m able to quickly start a walk , monitor progress and end the walk and take notes. Then of course I can look at the history and see past walks. It’s perfect if this is what you want to do , I don’t use any of the other features.
Good app for dog walker but cuts out and doesn’t save your progress
This is a pretty good app for dog walkers BUT it has some flaws!
1) Was wondering if you all could make it so you can do multiple walks at the same without having it start off with all the dogs you want at first. I’m a pro dog walker and it would be useful to be able to start a walk with one dog, pick up another dog and start another timer and be able to end those walks when they end and not all at the same time. If that makes sense! I would pay for a dog tracking app like that!
2) It doesn’t give you an option to view your pictures before they get sent:( this also stinks
3) It also doesn’t offer to let you take videos on the app either! These are some things they really need to develope to make the app pretty much perfect and up their with the best!
