User reviews

Great for walking, okay for running

Love exploring new places while walking using Sidewalk! With that said, somewhat consistently (1-2 times per mile) while running it will miss a block and I’ll have to double back.

Love this app

It can be very frustrating at times. Will turn itself off randomly and doesn't always count blocks the first time. And you end up having to walk back and forth several time. And it often thinks there are public walkway where there isn't one. But this app is addictive. I wish i could toggle walked and unwalked blocks on/off independently. So i could see both together.

This is cool

Yes it’s cool. Get it. Use it. The end. I hate writing reviews. It’s free.

Freezes

Love the idea of the app, but it constantly freezes and does not record my entire walks, sometimes just part

Love this app

This is such a fun way to track your adventures and encourage you to try some new walks for your route. I really like it.
