Awesome app

I’m really enjoying this app! Well designed and easy to use.

Fantastic

this app rocks and it’s something i’ve been looking for but it’s definitely got some bugs. My app often completes blocks ahead of me and marks them as previously walked even when I haven’t, this is usually when I have walked some blocks surrounding or head. I’m sure this is just bugs that will be worked out and overall the UX of the app is great, straight forward, easy to use, and visually not overdone. Walk on!

Good concept, terrible performance

A really cool app but it’s performance is nothing short of terrible. It took 46 seconds for the app to open up. Will share screen recording with developer if curious. Unusable app until performance is improved

Love the idea, poor execution

The app consistently fails to track multiple blocks in all different neighborhoods. I love the idea but I think there are significant kinks to work out.

Island bug

I like the idea of the app, but I just want it to work in background - instead it always shows up on the island without me opening it. It’s annoying to the point that I’m thinking of removing the app. I hope devs fix it.
