Accurate way to tell how u r doing. ### 3/5 — Not so great; buggy *2026-02-06* I used to like this app, but in the past few months I’ve had trouble with it. The auto-start/stop feature can be problematic. I’ve had it pause when I stopped, but instead of resuming tracking my progress, it just stopped. If I didn’t catch it to restart, my progress wouldn’t be tracked. And, it doesn’t allow for editing when this happens, nor when it incorrectly calculates the distance. (I’ve gotten different distance results for the same trail and identical stop and start points. I’ve cancelled my subscription ### 3/5 — Love but glitches a lot *2025-06-16* Had to go from 5 stars to three because I’ve used this app for about 6 months and it’s been pretty awesome, but recently every time I record it adds on some weird detour that I didn’t take. Like it will record what I really did, but add a rogue impossible straight line through property and houses out to the middle of the street. That makes reporting my actual route to my job inaccurate which is a problem. As of today, there’s no updates to do, maybe I’ll wait for the next update and see if those bugs get fixed. Otherwise I’ll have to find a new GPS tracker sadly because I do really like this one. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate distance *2025-02-11, version 2.6.1* I wasn’t enjoying this app until I used it on the track and found it to be in accurate. After walking more than half mile, it only showed I’d walk a quarter of a mile. ### 1/5 — Old App please *2025-02-06* I much preferred the old app. Hate the black and green and I want my list back😫 ### 3/5 — Need ability to add a walk *2024-11-30, version 2.5.7* This app does about 80% of what I need, but does not allow me to manually add or edit the distance on a a walk if I don’t have my phone with me or forget to start tracking. Is there some way to do this that I am missing? ### 1/5 — I have the premium subscription but the app does not record my walk anymore. *2024-09-15, version 2.4.8* Don't know what changed. Used to work fine with the previous version. I started to do my daily walk again and once I set record it does not log and time, dust or map data. Why should I keep this app? ### 5/5 — Vima Walk *2024-09-15, version 2.4.8* Easy to use. You don’t have to log in, just start to record. All the useful data is easily findable. Can customize your front screen. Love it! ### 4/5 — Worked fine until lately *2024-08-28* I have been using this app for a couple of months now. I like the simplicity of it. I like the set up and you can save your data. Tracking is pretty accurate until the last week or so. My last three walks have been a mile and 1/2 to 2 miles. But when I check it at the end is saying .02 miles or .04 miles. Somehow it is resetting itself during my walk. I make sure my screen is locked, so I don’t touch it. I tried uninstall reinstall it today and the same thing has happened. I guess I’m done with it up until this glitch, I would’ve given it five stars ### 3/5 — Here’s a concern. *2024-08-12, version 2.4.3* History skips or deletes days of record. Makes it hard to manage distance and time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nope *2026-08-19, version 2.7.8* The free trial cost me 15$ ### 1/5 — Lost history one app stopped working, and I had to reinstall *2026-08-14* Hello! I have emailed a few help messages but I have not received a response. Now today I had to reinstall the app again due to a new phone. When I reinstalled the app last year, due to the app not working for me, I lost all of my prior miles walked, over 1,200. Today when I reinstalled the app I once again lost my miles and now my subscription. I tried to restore purchases and nothing happened. I am a yearly subscriber. I do not see anyplace to log in. The app wants me to get the higher priced subscription. Where do I log in and how do I get my prior miles walked back on the app? Thank you for your time, Vicky Bloemer ### 1/5 — It’s not free *2026-06-13, version 2.7.2* You can at the least let people know it’s not free and requires a membership….couldnt get past the first steps without having to pay….do better ### 1/5 — Navigation *2025-11-29, version 2.6.9* Very difficult… continue to spin on GPS ### 1/5 — Won’t let me in my $4.99 annual account now!!! *2025-08-01* I have enjoyed using this app for several years until recently. All of a sudden now when I turn on the app it wants me to sign up for “premium” acct … I don’t want to as have been pleased with my $4.99 annual fee as I do not use it all the time. I cannot find any way to bypass it this annoying add and start tracking my walks when I want to. No “x” to close the ad. HELP! Really upset!!!! ### 1/5 — Walking Distance Tracker *2025-07-12, version 2.6.7* It doesn't list you have to buy until you have answered one hundred questions. ### 1/5 — Refund please *2025-05-11, version 2.6.3* I tried to get a refund. Please refund my purchase because I do not use the app ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2025-04-06, version 2.6.3* Way off on distance ### 1/5 — scam *2025-03-28, version 2.6.3* scam ### 1/5 — Promotion *2025-03-27* It’s highly suspicious anytime a dev circumvents the best practice of an AppStore IAP while offering a lifetime premium promo. AppStore IAPs protect the users’ ability to restore purchases through Apple. They also protect the dev’s time by alleviating unnecessary responsibilities… support, data tracking, etc. 99% of devs who offer this type of promotion, do so via the AppStore. Why would a dev ignore best practices and take on more responsibility to ensure their customers are less protected??? **Developer response:** It is actually significantly easier on our end to give access through our backend system. We gave away our hard work for free with a limited time lifetime offer that we absolutely will honor. And for that we get 1 star reviews because you'd rather we give away our work in a different way? Come on now that's a bit unfair. If a dev wants to be unscrupulous and take it away after the promotion the IAP doesn't help you. They can change the code to require a different IAP to unlock features just as easily as I could change the backend. Most won't, and we certainly won't. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-19, version 2.7.2* This app has helped me lose 55lbs .
