### 4/5 — Walk Log

*2017-01-07, version 2.2*

I love this app, but, lately it won't let me record the date! Why? Help!!

### 4/5 — Great walking app!

*2015-11-29*

I've been using this for 2 years. Great app to track my walks and routes. 1 needling point is that it doesn't sync between 2 devices so I have to remember which has my history.

### 4/5 — Walk log

*2014-08-29*

A good incentive to actually get off my bumm and do some activity. You then have proof positive that you can & will do some exercise. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for walkers

*2013-08-30, version 1.2.1*

Thank you for this awesome app!

It is really easy to use.

Wishlist item: sync with third-party fitness monitors.

iPad 3 w/6.1.3

### 5/5 — Love it😢😢

*2013-02-06, version 1.2*

This is the best ever.  It's so accurate and detailed.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2013-01-24*

I didn't need a GPS tracking app. I walk on my treadmill at home. This app is perfect for logging my mileage and time. It is simple, easy to use, and gives me my yearly stats (miles walked thus far and avg time) in one click. Perfect!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-01-17*

Love the simplicity of the app, which is what is only necessary when needing a walk log

### 5/5 — Love it

*2013-01-01*

Use this app while walking and listening  to podcasts.  Great to know how far I actually go...

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-12-10, version 1.1*

Logs perfectly and maps my routes.

### 4/5 — Good app that could be GREAT

*2012-12-07*

I like the ability to record my daily exercise. 

The statistics and data field limitations shouldn't be too difficult to expand. 

A few tweaks here and there, like taking into account the geo's topography (where available) for those uphill walks, and then calculating that extra effort as a statistic. Etc.

### 1/5 — Can't get it to work

*2013-05-24, version 1.2.1*

Can not figure out how to use. Can't find instructions or contact.
Maybe me but feel I wasted money.

### 2/5 — iOS 14.2

*2020-11-13*

Walk log has worked very well for me for the past several years until I am graded my iOS to 14.2. After that Walk Log stopped working

### 2/5 — Limited

*2014-11-16*

Unfortunately, if you walk more than one time per day, there seems to be no way to enter that into the app. If you make multiple laps while walking, say around a park or a track, the method of showing this in the app is a little cumbersome. There doesn't seem to be a way of setting the app to fill in your default route automatically for you every day, which would be a great timesaver for those who are religious about walking.

### 3/5 — Developer disappeared

*2021-11-29*

I love this app. But it seems the developer is no longer supporting it. So when Apple upgraded to iOS 13 it was no longer compatible. Very sad because it's the best simple straight ahead app out there.

### 3/5 — Good but...

*2014-11-03, version 2.1*

Needs:

1) A steps and calories counter;
2) A brighter calendar with stats readily available.

### 3/5 — Does what I want

*2013-09-18, version 2.0*

I keep the app as a log for my walking, so it does what I want. I really dislike the new app icon.

### 4/5 — Quit saving

*2026-03-05*

I have used this app for years but after up dating from iso 17 it will update to the cloud.  I lost 56 years of data. I sure hope they fix it because it’s a great app

### 4/5 — Good logging for walks

*2020-01-10*

But it doesn’t provide a way to backup or export your logs. Also, it hasn’t been updated in over 2 years. I hope the developer continues to support it.

### 4/5 — Good & easy to use

*2018-02-20*

Especially like the GPS feature to track or plan multiple routes. Would appreciate a place to log calories expended when have walked on a treadmill.

### 4/5 — Best available

*2018-02-19*

The app is the best of the six I looked at to record my exercise walks. 

Pros: Records reliably, calculates and displays cumulative time and distance totals, easy iCloud sync between devices, no subscriptions or in-app purchases. 

Cons: Continuously pesters you to allow full time location tracking instead of just while using the app, start-tracking button is buried unintuitively and two menus deep, statistics don’t seem to sync to other devices. 

Overall, a competent, if idiosyncratic, job by the developer. Fix the items listed and it would be a 5.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-09*

I’ve been using this app for the last 9 or 10 years.  It has been very reliable and easy to use. Recently by mistake I deleted all of the data for the last 9 or 10 years. Is there any  way that I can recover the data that I mistakenly deleted?

### 5/5 — None better

*2016-02-07*

Don't bother looking elsewhere for a walking log.  Simply put, you won't find a better one.

### 5/5 — Love It!

*2015-06-29*

I wanted an easy to use log to keep track of my walks and this fills the bill perfectly. I can use the GPS feature or simply put my route & distance in manually. It keeps track of routes & workouts & shows graphs & charts of my progress. Couldn't be simpler to use & does everything I need. 😄

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2014-09-12*

I have had this app for about a week.  It want without problems, but I simply emailed the creator of the app, and within  two day period I have heard from him THREE times to help me solve my sync issue.  I still can't believe how prompt and helpful he was.  I no longer have a sync problem, and am looking forward to logging thousands of miles on my new favorite app😊👍❤️

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2014-08-04*

I have been walking for years but needed to improve my walk time. I walk the same path and find the statistics provided by this App helped me to walk a little faster each time. My productivity has definitely improved with this program.

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2014-07-26*

I like its ease of use. Press the caret upper right then press start.  For days that you forgot to enter, press the plus sign, select the day, and either enter the distance or pick a GPS map of a previous route.  Simple.

### 5/5 — Good App

*2014-06-09*

This is a good app, tracking works well and suits what I need from these sort of apps.

Doesn't have a calories burned, or heart rate monitor, but I got this app because I didn't want those things in the app.

What I would like to see however is the ability to import routes from GPS data or routes created in other apps with a gpx file.

It maybe useful to create a website so users of the app can share routes with each other.

I wouldn't mind seeing sort of routing if it's not possible to do the import and like pick a starting point and an ending point and have it work out a walking route between the 2 points, not sure if this is possible would be awesome if gave directions whilst was walking, guess could have an option to turn this on and off if a user wanted to have music playing whilst they was walking.

### 5/5 — Love Walk log

*2014-01-07*

I love this application!  It makes it very easy to track time, distance, and routes for walking, which I find to be an important motivator for me.  I love seeing the little "walking person" icons dotting the calendar (showing days that activity was logged).  Inexpensive and easy to use, and doesn't require GPS.

### 5/5 — What Happened??

*2013-10-29*

A few weeks ago I would have given this app a 5 Star rating; not now.  In recent days every time I use this app it crashes.  It starts up and begins to map my walk and record time just as it should.  But, at the end of my walk, when I want to check my progress, the app crashes and all my new data vanishes.  What happened?  

PS:  There does not seem to be a way to contact customer support.

PPS:  A follow-up.  The problem described above appears to have been resolved.  After a lapse of a few weeks I tried Walk Log again; everything seems to be working well.

And, I discovered how to contact tech support.  Another small issue arose.  I was able to e-mail the developer and had a response in less than 15 minutes.  Back to five stars!

### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted

*2013-10-04*

Simple, straight forward. I use it for walking/hiking and am very pleased
