Great App for Walkers
I have used Walkmeter for many years after trying a few others.
For my walking record purposes, Walkmeter has every thing I need and exports links I need for Google Maps and Google Earth

Love Walkmeter!
Love to see the map when walk is finished!!😃😃😃
Inconsistency
The distance tracking is extremely inconsistent and makes the app difficult to trust. I can walk the exact same route on the same trail and get significantly different mileage readings.
For example, today I walked one direction on the trail and the app recorded 0.93 miles. I ended the session, started a new one, and walked the same exact trail back in the opposite direction. This time it recorded 1.19 miles.
That’s a 0.26-mile difference on what should be the same distance, which is significant for a walk of only about a mile. This also throws off the pace and calorie metrics because they’re being calculated from an inaccurate distance.
This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed it either. I can walk the same route on different days and consistently get different distance readings.
I really want to like this app, but accurate GPS distance tracking is one of the most basic and important functions of a walking app. If I can’t trust the mileage, I can’t trust the rest of the workout data either. Please improve the GPS tracking and distance calculations.

Good hike today 6.5 miles
App used to be better with less clutter but overall really accurate.

Why all the pestering?
Yes I love this app. 5 stars. Use it every day. Even with the recent price increase it’s great. But WHY is it now asking me to rate it on the App Store so frequently? I can hardly tap in the app without the annoying “enjoying this app” thing coming up! Yes I love you, WalkMeter, but right now, no, I am not enjoying using you!!
