User reviews

incredible and doesn’t take your data

this app is such a lovely visualization, I wish it was here when I first moved! love love that it doesn’t take your data too

This app seems to have been abandoned

I loved this app when I first found it but it had started turning off walks sometimes with and sometimes without warning. Making it so a have to re walk a block for it to get counted. I find myself spend more time making sure the app it working than I do enjoying the new parts nyc I'm seeeing. Yes this app in addictive but now it feel like a job instead of a passtime

Tracking

Won’t let you manually put in the blocks you’ve already walked even though it says you can, but pretty solid otherwise

Liking it

Had to remove the app and redownloaded but my progress didn't save, otherwise great app hope that can improve

I get around

This app inspires me to be more active and explorative myP to take turns I ordinarily wouldn’t have stumbled upon opportunities. I ordinarily wouldn’t have.
