### 4/5 — Can’t upgrade.

*2020-09-20*

This is a great app for training however I am unable to upgrade to the paid version. The paid app is not available to Australian users for some reason.

### 3/5 — Mise à jour

*2019-06-26*

Pourquoi ne pas mettre à jour pour les IOS 11 et + ?

### 3/5 — Where’s the update!

*2018-03-12*

I loved the app. With an older 4S, but now I have SE and there is no update for IOS 11. Please hurry!!

### 4/5 — Loved this app

*2017-12-05*

This was a great app for me but now it crashes constantly. Apple also says it will not work with the update to version 11. Please update this app!

### 2/5 — Hiked 10 miles and it was gone!

*2016-02-11*

Free app so how could you complain? The app tracked 10 miles perfectly until the end and it disappeared.  No storage or backup.

### 2/5 — Drained my battery

*2015-06-30*

I wanted to find out the door to door distance for the hiking trail just off my street.  This app seemed to work great at first, and was accurate compared to my friend's tracker, but it drained my battery.  It also needs strong GPS access (it wouldn't work until I stepped outside), so it mapped my distance until I crested the foothill, then I lost it when I dropped into the saddle to view the reservoir on the other side.  I lost all the data from point A to there.  By the time I got home (3 hours later) my iPhone 4c died after having started at 100% power.  Not useful for my needs, but if you're tracking a short, urban trek, it's great!

### 3/5 — Use x5

*2015-06-17, version 1.7*

It's a good app and I enjoyed using it. Downside, it's only free for 5 uses and then you must pay for it. That's ok. I found other trackers that are free. I'll just move on to one of those.

### 4/5 — Walk

*2015-06-16, version 1.7*

With a bad heart I can't do much, but I like this

### 4/5 — Excellent

*2015-01-22, version 1.7*

So far its a great app!!!

### 2/5 — Worker

*2014-10-02, version 1.7*

What a disappointment. Got walk free to measure my work walk. After a week had to buy an upgrade. Then found out it doesn't record indoors. My fault for picking wrong app for my needs

### 4/5 — Mixed feelings

*2014-08-28*

It's great other than having to reset every 5 uses. I can say I like it better than some of the other apps I've tried. Although I'm Hoping it is accurate with the miles.

### 5/5 — Review

*2014-07-11, version 1.7*

I LOVE THIS APP!!!

### 5/5 — Good

*2014-07-01*

I have only used it once so far, but it was accurate and easy to use. I went 8.5 miles with it. I will defiantly be using this app in the future.

### 5/5 — Love It!!!!!

*2014-06-18, version 1.7*

This is great if you are an information nut like me.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Just purchased App

*2017-07-29*

Very sad, my phone has cel phone data available but this App say cel phone data too low, no refund from company, no support, only take payment but no tech support for Fully Paid App, very very sad.
Works 50% of time, all my other apps have 100% data from cel except this one, even in open areas gps fails but not from phone. Waste of money.

### 1/5 — Do NOT BUY I paid for the app and the first thing it does is loose my first work out

*2016-09-15*

Do Not Buy it runs Gps all the time, and won't keep track of your work outs. The first run I went on it already lost the mileage. It keep the time but lost the distance and speed

### 1/5 — Worst gps tracker ever

*2016-09-10*

What a useless app! Ugly interface and crashes every 5 seconds! Don't purchase !! 0 stars!!

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2016-02-23*

If you lock your iPhone while the app is recording, it Will always crash and you will lose all of your progress. It's even worse that I actually paid for the pro version of this app and it can't even keep track of my progress without crashing

### 1/5 — Zero

*2014-07-17*

Did not work!

### 1/5 — Not good

*2014-07-08, version 1.7*

I would not purchase this app again. It turned off on it's own four times in one workout😟 I seem to have several glitches

### 1/5 — Garbage!!

*2014-05-06, version 1.7*

Constantly resets!!

### 1/5 — Trial run only????

*2014-04-29, version 1.7*

I uploaded app and went for a walk to test it out. After 1.7 miles, I had a message to "update" and it took me to the paid app. I then restarted and after .17 miles, it did the same thing. Not cool

### 1/5 — Runner

*2013-10-27, version 1.7*

I am training for a marathon, I got your app it is not reliably. May runs I push hard and need to know my stat, I look at my app it reads nothing but miles no speed nothing stuff I need to know I will be deleting your app and would like my money back thanks.... Runner

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2013-08-25, version 1.0*

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-07-07*

I’ve had this app for a few years - Free version - love the maps, real satellite view, and keeps track exceptionally well both distance and time. I only allow GPS during us so no issues on this aspect.  Keeps better track then my Fitbit but I use both.  Highly recommend the Free version.

### 5/5 — I LOVE IT

*2015-07-24*

Easy to use. Gives a lot of information & seems accurate.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-07-20*

It's very handy but it does drain your battery if you're also listening to music. Still I like it.

### 5/5 — Great

*2015-06-07, version 1.7*

This app did exactly what I wanted it to do.  It was easy to use as well.

### 5/5 — Good App!

*2015-03-18, version 1.7*

### 5/5 — Tracker

*2015-01-04, version 1.7*

This is excellent and easy to use,also very accurate

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-10-12*

I just had a heart attack, and the doctors told me I needed to exercise. This helps keep track of the distance and the amount of time I've been walking.  Reading the results gives me a great sense of accomplishment.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2014-08-06, version 1.7*

I needed to get in shape for cross country and with this app it was easy to see my progress
