Listen to Clare Johnson!

Best autumn afternoon stroll in Seattle, ever. Bring tissues.

Great app

😍

Unable to hit lets go button because it was hidden by icons

While I received a fix after my review, it was too late because I had already visited the trail. The “fix” should be part of the app instructions. I have used hundreds of apps and never had this problem before.

Response from developer

So sorry to hear this was your experience! The issue you hit is actually a function of the way Apple's text works when not set at the default size. If you go "Settings" -> "Display" -> "Text Size" and move the cursor to the middle of the bar, you should be able to access everything in the app!

So glitchy

My family of 5 were excited to do these walks. Unfortunately all 5 of us had issues where the apps crashed and then you had to go to the beginning and start over. Very frustrating. Hope they fix the glitches.

Response from developer

Noah, my apologies that you are having this issue. We've logged this problem and are currently working on an update that should get released in the coming weeks to both avoid those crashes and ensure you can enter back in midway if you get popped out at a point along the way. So sorry that we didn't make good on your excitement and hope you'll consider trying it again once the new update is released.
