Very difficult to find and turn notices/announcements on and off. OK if keep those the same. Battery drain too high for longer hikes. ### 4/5 — Great app, BUT those announcement voices, HELP! *2026-07-26, version 12.1.54* Awesome app, love it! ❤️👍 BUT most of those announcement voices are, to put it as politely as I can, not so good. 👎 Put yourself in our 👟👟. We need clear voices that we can easily understand while we are noisily huffing and puffing exercising. Out of all those voices I only found two, Samantha and Daniel, that are clear and easy to understand. How about making some new human sounding voices that have a neutral Midwest USA accent that are clear and easy to understand. Also, we should be able to test the voices just by clicking the voices without having to select the voice then go back to another menu to select another menu to then then click another button to hear the voice we selected. 💤 Now, after having complained about the announcement voices, I would like to thank you for creating a fantastic app! 😁 ### 2/5 — A lot of data but brutal UI *2026-07-22, version 12.1.54* This gives you a boatload of info but the UI is horrendous. Give it a try and then accept the challenge of finding a map for one of the walks you took in 12 clicks or less. I’d put good money on betting you can’t. ### 4/5 — The app I use every hike *2026-06-28, version 12.1.54* Been using since 2013; 17,800 miles so far. Tested other apps but they lack the same level of data quality. My only “gripe” is that all new improvements are only for road bike users (not trail users), and no OpenStreetMap (or derivative) ### 2/5 — 何年も改善されない *2026-05-20* 現在地が常に東に1キロ程ズレている。距離は測れるけど、気の向くまま歩いて、後からルートを地図上で見るのも楽しみの1つなのに、それが正確にわからないのは、本当に残念。 **Developer response:** 地図上の現在地がずれて表示されたり、誤った場所に表示されたりしている場合は、簡単に修正する方法がございます。support@abvio.com までご連絡いただければ、喜んでサポートさせていただきます。 ### 5/5 — Love Walkmeter *2026-05-15, version 12.1.49* I’ve been using Walkmeter since 2013 and it’s been great. It has stored 13 years of hiking. ### 4/5 — Iwatch *2026-04-22, version 12.1.49* One major issue you can’t record steps from an iWatch step counter ### 5/5 — Walk *2026-04-22, version 12.1.49* I Love this APP ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-25, version 12.1.48* Really pleased with Walkmeter. I love walking but have little sense of direction, however with this app I have no worries and can always find my way back to the car! Highly recommended ### 3/5 — サブスクリプションに入らなくても、保存可能ですか？ *2026-02-21* サブスクリプションに入らなくても、保存可能ですか？ **Developer response:** アプリについて他にご質問がございましたら、support@abvio.com までお気軽にお問い合わせください。 ### 5/5 — Great app but sometimes... *2026-02-15, version 12.1.47* I love this app and it encourages me to walk more. And it has improved significantly over the last several years. I use it now even when I walk downtown, just to record distance. I didn’t think about this when I started, but I have already recorded thousands of miles now after almost 10 years. ### 5/5 — Works well. *2026-02-15, version 12.1.47* Don’t use very often, but it does what I want it to do. ### 5/5 — Walking companion *2026-01-30, version 12.1.47* Easy to use very informative and keeps a check of my daily walks also stores in history so I can check what time is needed to do a particular walk on any given day.like the fact I can get reminders every 7 minutes as to how I am doing ### 3/5 — 最近ウザい *2026-01-26* 良いアプリですが、最近「特別オファー」とやらの課金を求める表示が頻繁に表示されて(何かアクションを起こすたびに)非常に鬱陶しいです。 一回拒否したら、せめてその日は表示しないようにしてください。 **Developer response:** ページ上部のチェックマークをタップすると、この表示は消えます。それでも表示が消えない場合は、support@abvio.comまでお問い合わせください。 ### 5/5 — Walkmeter *2025-12-31, version 12.1.47* Great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t bring up cycling any more. *2026-08-04, version 12.1.54* All I get is walking. This happened through nothing I did. ### 1/5 — PRICE HIKE *2026-03-19, version 12.1.49* The irony of a hiking app hiking the annual subscription 66%. Just cancelled. ### 1/5 — Former user.. *2026-02-23, version 12.1.48* I’ve had this app for years, don’t remember if I paid something for it or not, but now it’s got a bag screen to upgrade. It worked fine before and I don’t feel I need to pay monthly or annually for something that had no subscription cost before. Deleted and looking for a better alternative ### 1/5 — Great app but steal money *2026-02-10, version 12.1.47* I signed up to the app and loved it, now I notice they have taken the annual fee twice within a week. They won’t own up to it either. ### 1/5 — Just Deleted *2026-01-04, version 12.1.47* I had been using Walkmeter for years but just deleted it. Today ads started popping up of pornographic objectifications of parts of women’s bodies. Your app is disgusting. ### 1/5 — Best Buy *2025-11-30, version 12.1.44* Bought this app in 2014 and it has been great, renewed subscription yearly, but just been told of a 50% increase, so sorry I am out of here. ### 1/5 — APP QUITS or MALFUNCTIONS - NO SUPPORT. *2025-10-17, version 12.1.36* Leaving a 1 star review bc the developers really aren’t serious about customer queries. THE SUPPORT EMAIL ADDRESS IS A RUSE - not a valid address. Also, instructions are not complete. Last, why wouldn’t there be notifications for updates? A shame bc when it works it’s great. When it doesn’t a mess- example: even on a familiar oft-traveled 1.5 hr walk route, stats read .21 miles (map quits) @37mph. WTH. ### 1/5 — Scam ads beware! *2025-09-21, version 12.1.35* The app shows scam ads saying the iPhone is infected with a virus and a countdown clock to hurry up and respond. This is a repeated problem with this app. In the past another ad said something about corrupted memory or memory all used up. ### 1/5 — 使い物にならない *2025-09-15* 初めて使用したが、GPS？の誤差が大きすぎて使い物にならない。 マップを見ると動いた方向や距離等はしっかり追跡してくれているものの、そもそものスタート地点からして数百mズレており、それが修正されないまま追跡されている。 そのためマップ上は、道なき道を行き川を越え住宅街をぶち抜いているエクストリームなウォーキングになってしまっている。 メインの目的は移動経路と距離の把握なので、これでは全く持って意味がない。 似たようなアプリは山ほどあるしかまわないけども。 **Developer response:** 地図上のGPS位置情報がずれている場合は、アプリの「中国GPS補正」設定が原因の可能性があります（中国以外でも）。「その他」>「設定」>「マップ」>「中国GPS補正」に移動し、設定を変更して問題が解決するかどうかご確認ください。問題が解決しない場合は、support@abvio.comまでご連絡ください。 ### 1/5 — Subtract ads *2025-08-28, version 12.1.35* Too many ads!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Torrey Pines *2026-08-19, version 12.1.54* Good hike today 6.5 miles App used to be better with less clutter but overall really accurate. ### 5/5 — Why all the pestering? *2026-08-16, version 12.1.54* 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!! ### 5/5 — Great app! Tip: more voices available via iPhone settings. *2026-07-31, version 12.1.54* Awesome app, love it! ❤️👍 I didn’t like the announcement voices and the developer informed me that the voices are provided by Apple. You can add additional voices via the iPhone Accessibility/Read & Speak/Voices. Once you download additional voices they will automatically be made available in the Walkmeter app. Thank you developer for replying directly to me regarding the voices, and thank you for creating a fantastic app! 😁 ### 5/5 — Peace *2026-07-27, version 12.1.54* On Track ### 5/5 — Walkmeter Review *2026-07-21, version 12.1.54* I love that Walkmeter records my walks in miles and the fact that I can look back into the history and check out the routes that I have taken. Very quick and easy to use. ### 5/5 — My love for product is being tested… *2026-06-22, version 12.1.54* Right after I posted my previous glowing review followed by a nice reply from the dev. I started getting OBNOXIOUS pop-ups to rate the product… Some type of glitch I am sure ### 5/5 — Almost 15 years of loving it *2026-06-05, version 12.1.53* I am loyal because it is simple and to the point ### 5/5 — The best *2026-06-02, version 12.1.52* I’ve been using this and I love it!! ### 5/5 — Best free app *2026-05-26, version 12.1.50* I always promote this to my friends it’s great and free and easy to navigate and when I had an issue their support team were excellent ### 5/5 — Walking tool *2026-05-17, version 12.1.50* Never leave home without it. Keeps your exercise routine continuously and incentivizes you to sustain your program. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
