What's New in Walking Tracker

3.40.0

September 18, 2026

This release brings new ways to experience Footnotes and several improvements to your walks. You can now explore a Demo Walk to see what a walk in Footnotes looks like before recording your first one. We’ve also added a new Widget and a Live Activity, so you can keep track of an active walk right from your Lock Screen. Live Tracking has been improved with a new map view that lets you watch your route take shape as you walk, along with several UI improvements to make the experience clearer and smoother. Photos are getting better too. You can now swipe through photos from a walk, add existing photos from your photo library, and save photos taken with Footnotes directly to your device. Your feedback helps make Footnotes better every day. If you have suggestions or run into any issues, you can share them through Settings > Got Feedback? And if you’re enjoying Footnotes, leaving a review on the App Store really helps more people discover the app. Happy walking!

User reviews

Lovely app, but severely limited

No sub. No login. No games. That alone earned 3 stars. Unfortunately, that list of “no” includes no interplay with Apple Health nor Apple Watch. Any walk conducted outside the app doesn’t exist. I’m not looking for another receptacle for my data, which just adds confusion. I crave an app pulling in Apple Health data, with room for my notes as well. This ain’t it, but I respect the dev’s right to design whatever app s/he wants. Oh well, back to searching.

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to write this. You're right that Footnotes only knows about walks you record inside the app. That's a deliberate choice for now: the route, the steps and the notes are captured together in the moment, which is what makes each entry feel like a page rather than a data row. But you're not the only one asking for Apple Health, and I hear the point about not wanting another silo. Importing walks from Health so you can attach notes to them is on my list, and reviews like yours move it up. Either way, thanks for giving it a fair look!
