*2024-05-22*

I love this app.  And I love Mary Maddux!  This app has revolutionized my walking experience.  I love it and use it MULTIPLE times a week. Thank you Mary!

### 5/5 — Perfect ADHD meditation help!

*2024-04-22, version 4.0*

I REALLY struggle with conventional meditation. This is a wonderful solution for my ADHD brain!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2023-04-02, version 4.0*

I regularly go for waljs, and this app. accompanies me every time. It has transformed the experience of walking and mindfulness. I have found an earpiece that rests on the ear rather than insside the ear, and it’s just simply amazing walking in nature, listening to the wonderful narration. I highly recommend this app along with wireless open ear headphones as you can hear the voice whilst taking in the sounds around you

### 5/5 — Used this while walking my dogs

*2023-03-01*

I began using this during the pandemic when I walked my dogs. It is still one of the best to use

### 5/5 — Love this app.

*2023-03-01, version 4.0*

I feel so refreshed after using this app. It brings a whole new perspective to familiar surroundings, sounds and self. Absolutely worth the small cost. It’s brought a new joy to walking.

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2021-08-24*

I’ve had this app since 2012 and I still use it! Simple. And a great walking meditation!

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2020-01-24*

I have learned so much from this app and it helps the time go by when I am walking my dog so that we both get a lot more exercise

### 5/5 — Body movement and zen space

*2019-06-14*

I really like this simple app for a walking meditation.  It keeps me focused on being present. I’ve recently started using it for bike riding as well. Rather than the monkey mind I have a half an hour listening to a soothing voice gently reminding me to focus inward but still able to experience the senses without labeling.  My workdays are definitely more balanced when I use this app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-06-07*

Someone said she repeats the same thing: yup that’s how the meditation works. This is the best I’ve found for walking meditation which for me,after many years of meditation, is still the hardest. Great app

### 5/5 — It works for me 😀

*2019-04-07, version 4.0*

I suffer from anxiety and l am a fidget freak, so It’s difficult for me to meditate in the traditional sitting position. But walking is my way of relaxing providing l can turn off my brain and my negative thoughts, and this app really does seem to help me keep in the moment. Love it.
