Pro Plan Confusion

I haven’t actually used the app yet but so far it looks reliable and useful. I’m excited to actually try it out but I was wanting the pro plan. It’s advertised as 12.99/year but when I go to pay it says 19.99/year? Which is it and it shouldn’t be advertised as 12.99 if it’s not true. SEEMS LIKE A GREAT APP THO

Response from developer

I'm sorry about that but thank you for mentioning this! I submitted a fix for the price issue, just waiting for app review to approve the fix. For context: I updated the price but it did not update the screen in app properly. Glad you like the app so far otherwise! Email andreasink17@gmail.com - happy to share a promo code there to make up for the issues :)

Awesome app!

Really great for holding myself accountable as someone with a busy life. Great work.

Apps don’t unlock

My apps didn’t unlock after I hit my step goals for the day

Response from developer

Hey Kiraazzzy, sorry about that. WalkLock should unlock around the time you hit your step goal, so something’s off here. A few quick things that usually fix it: 1. Close WalkLock, then reopen it once after you hit your goal (it forces a fresh Health sync) 2. iPhone Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices → WalkLock → make sure Steps is enabled 3. If you use an Apple Watch, step data can sometimes arrive late — try opening WalkLock a bit later 4. If still stuck: toggle locking off → on in WalkLock, or restart your phone If you’re willing, please email me: andreasink17@gmail.com so we can chat, thanks!

New update broke it

Had my step counter on daily hit my daily goal and won’t unlock my apps

Response from developer

thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into this and push a fix as quickly as I can! Sorry for the issue, if you have any more feedback please email me at andreasink17@gmail.com thanks!
