I love the automatic pause and start feature and that I can set a goal and it will tell me if I fall short or do better. My two problems would be that the use only while open setting dose not work it will asks me to allow location access and the second is even after deleting a ‘walk’ it is still used in the statistics summary. That one is kinda on me I tried to use the app inside and the GPS did not track well and said I did a mile in 7 minutes my best is actually 17. ### 4/5 — Super app - Best of all tried *2021-08-23, version 1.3.6* GPS distance, voice feedback is clear an succinct. Maps the walk/run and provides useful and clearly articulated statistics /graphs. Add music to the walk/run (runner’s playlist or album) - if you need rhythm to keep on track. Music at 120 paces well. 5k is a piece of cake now… next challenge 10k. ### 5/5 — Damn near perfect *2021-07-26, version 1.3.6* I’m doing 10 miles a day post open heart surgery, preparing to walk the 900 km Camino in 6 weeks, covid permitting. This app helps me add a mile or two every week, and keeps me honest! ### 5/5 — Great app that motivates *2021-05-03, version 1.3.6* I love this walk app but it now tells me my test license will expire in 4 days ? Would that mean I will have to pay for it ? ### 5/5 — Love this app *2021-04-29, version 1.3.6* This app works great. I love that it uses GPS and doesn’t count steps. Free of charge for the first 30 days and by then I was sold on it. Gladly paid the one time minimal charge. I have recommended this app to friends. ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-02-06, version 1.3.2* I have a number of apps to monitor my walk by gps and show statistics and my route. Really easy to use, only downside is it doesn’t show actual steps. Highly recommend. Thanks ### 5/5 — Accurate and user friendly *2021-01-13, version 1.3.2* This is easy to use and self explanatory, the stats are very accurate and it’s great to see the routes you have taken. This is useful as you can then repeat the same route if you want to walk that distance again without having to draft a new route yourself. The only drawback is the app requires you to have location on all the time to access it even though it has the ‘only while using’ option. ### 4/5 — Review *2020-11-17, version 1.3.2* Great app. Love that it announces distance walked into my headset. Also like that when I stop to talk to a neighbour it automatically pauses. Enjoy the stats that it keeps so I can see when I’m slacking off. Would recommend this app. ### 4/5 — Great app, wish for more analysis *2020-08-19, version 1.3.0* This app works very well and I would recommend. I wish it did more analysis of the last walk like add “last walk” to summary screen and add a bar graph of last walk by changes in altitude and distanced color coded and by pace. I just think more could be done with the last walk data. But that is a minor thing. The app works great and keeps the data local and no pay by month stuff. ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2020-08-04, version 1.3.0* Been using the app since we started walking regularly during lockdown. Great to see both where you have been and stats about distance etc. Made a few suggestions re minor issues from our experience and these were both welcomed and accommodated in the following upgrade. ### 4/5 — Good App *2020-02-11, version 1.2.0* Easy to use and works well. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why does it require “Location Services” to be ALWAYS ON??? *2024-06-24, version 1.4.2* I’m inherently suspicious of any app that requires Location Services to be “Always On.” This seems draconian and unnecessary to me. App to trash. ### 1/5 — Does not record all walks *2024-05-26, version 1.4.2* I did a 2.7 mile walk then stopped at a friends home for about 1/2 hour. When I left to head home app did not recognize I had already gone 2.7 miles. It started all over again at zero. I had setting setting at always track so should automatically stop tracking when I am sitting still, but begin again when I start moving. I have will remove app from phone and try to find an app that really does keep data of my runs. ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2021-03-13, version 1.3.3* Worked ok once but then would never start a new walk again. ### 1/5 — Not reliable *2020-06-26, version 1.2.4* Looked promising on the back of the positive reviews, not so for me anyway, really disappointed. ### 1/5 — Walk *2020-06-23, version 1.2.4* I cannot make this work ### 1/5 — Walk.app *2019-07-27, version 1.1.4* Claim it’s free - but watch out. You open it up one day and they want money. ### 3/5 — Walk hiking *2020-03-04, version 1.2.0* Problems are not start yet froze. Problem not open map and not work distances map. ### 4/5 — Great app, which functions well *2024-03-28, version 1.4.2* Does everything I expected, and functions reliably. The only ding is that I haven’t been able to link it to my Apple Watch, so I don’t have to dig out the iPhone to see how far I’ve walked. I walk with distance goals, and vary the routes to keep it from getting boring. So, on a new route I’m never sure of how far I’ve walked thus far, or how much further I need to walk to meet the goal. If I could link with the Apple Watch, it would be a five star app. And, if it logged my pulse when I call it up from the watch it would be perfect. ### 4/5 — Music function won’t remember the playlist *2024-02-26, version 1.4.2* The music function has been somehow resetting itself lately. It won’t remember what playlist is selected, and I have to manually set it each time. This was not a problem before, so something changed along the way. ### 4/5 — Excellent *2022-10-12, version 1.4.1* Super apps, j’aimerais avoir un rappel ou un élément de motivation pour aller marcher avec ça je donnerais un 5!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — T *2026-03-20, version 1.4.3* T ### 5/5 — Excellent *2025-02-23, version 1.4.2* For straight forward tracing and mapping of the daily walk with the dog this is brilliant value. Probably not quite detailed enough for the super athletic type but all the details for the casual walker and for me, a once off payment for the pro version, (no subscription) it’s a winner. ### 5/5 — Very good *2025-02-06, version 1.4.2* Very good walking app, but would be even better if it had pedometer/step counter ### 5/5 — Excellent App! *2024-12-03, version 1.4.2* I rarely have an app that I go back to time and time again, however this one is a gem! Tells me everything I need to know when I go out for my walks and it’s great to look back and see the history of when and where I did my walking. Highly recommend this app!! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-02-13, version 1.4.2* Nice easy basic app , tells me what I need to know no messing around having to scroll through lots of irrelevant information, good for keeping a track of what you have done, and where you have been, awesome ### 5/5 — Works like it should. *2023-12-23* Clean simple app, with a well engineered interface. Only thing I might add is the ability to import heart rate from an AppleWatch or other device. And an AppleWatch version of the app would be convenient. But I rarely go out without the phone is definitely not a “need”, just a nice to have. ### 5/5 — Love This Walk App *2023-12-15, version 1.4.2* Really enjoy the ability to have music and the auto feedback of walk distance, do hope you can resolve the problem encountered at times when cannot acess GPS ### 5/5 — Terrific walking app. *2023-02-01, version 1.4.1* I’ve tried them all and in my opinion this one is the best. All the features the others have and more. Love the music feature. Best of all. One time purchase. Not the ridiculous fees the others charge. Keep up the good work guys. ### 5/5 — Good app for logging your walks *2022-12-13, version 1.4.1* Works well. I really like the auto pause feature as when I’m out walking and meet a neighbour who wants to chat it seamlessly takes care of the stop and start. Works well with Apple health ### 5/5 — Good walking *2022-11-09, version 1.4.1* Just what I was looking for. An app that uses the phones GPS, to measure dog walks. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
