If you update to the latest version (1.3) you can now import your data from Strava, Apple Health, and Google Timeline. Could you try the import process and update your review with how it goes? ### 5/5 — So useful! *2026-06-07* I’ve always wanted to be able to easily see where I have and haven’t been in the city before so this has been super awesome for that! My friends and I also love the new groups features ### 5/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for! *2026-06-05* I searched for a similar app just a couple months ago and was a bit disappointed with the results, but then this app came along and gave me exactly what I had imagined! So cool ### 5/5 — Love WalkNYC *2026-06-04, version 1.1.2* Truly awesome app! Have been looking for something like this. ### 4/5 — Like the App- Not sure how blocks work *2026-06-02* I love the app- it’s a great idea and I am having a fun time tracking my walks. However, I have no idea how the block function works. I have walk different streets, sections of streets, and around entire blocks in the past few days and my block count hasn’t increased! Would love some insight! **Developer response:** I've just fixed this issue! If you could update the app to 1.2.0 or later you should see all of your block counts increasing. Sorry about that! ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2026-05-30* I love open world games like Breath Of The Wild that feature tracking maps. I love NYC. These are some of my favorite things, thank you for making this! Already 32 blocks in :) Something I would love to see in the future is a way to take photos which are marked on the map on the walks. I would love to see all my cool finds and would totally pay for this feature! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-05-27, version 1.0.0* So fun and easy to use ### 5/5 — Exercise but make it fun *2026-05-26* Runs smooth , tracks accurately and the leaderboard makes you want to compete with your friends ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Why takes so long to update?? *2026-07-16, version 1.3.4* And why does it keep needing to be uodated every day?? No other app us like this ### 1/5 — Good concept, terrible performance *2026-07-07, version 1.3.1* 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 ### 2/5 — Haven’t Worked in a Week *2026-07-31* My app wont let me use it until it’s updated… but I’ve been trying to “update” it for over a week. Idk how much longer I’m going to wait. ### 2/5 — Buggy not accurate tracking *2026-06-18* Does not correctly track all my walks. I have it set to automatically track my walks, but the one time I literally clicked "start walk" to manually start tracking, nothing was tracked. I was in an area of Manhattan that I'm not normally in and wanted to make sure it tracked the blocks I walked. I even walked a different route back to the subway station! But none of that was tracked **Developer response:** So sorry to hear about this! Could you take a look at the specific walk(s) this happened during (tap the icon in the top right, then "Show walks") and see if there were regions where the GPS stopped tracking you? It'd be super great if you could send over those screenshots to josephpuccio@gmail.com so I can get it worked out for you! ### 3/5 — Love the idea, poor execution *2026-07-06* 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. ### 3/5 — Good concept but weird storage issue *2026-06-29* Great concept but takes up a massive amount of storage in Apple Maps for some reason. I had 8 GB of storage taken up that only once I deleted this app did that clear up. ### 3/5 — Good app but doesn’t always work *2026-06-18, version 1.2.1* I’ve been using the app for 2 weeks now and when it works, it is a great. However there has been several days where the app does not always track your walks. Perhaps I accidentally paused the app when I am checking my messages or changing Spotify playlists but it is frustrating when hours of walking was not tracked. ### 3/5 — Use this app a lot *2026-06-11* This app needs to remove itself from the island on ios. It steals the navigation island, making navigation while driving or on foot HORRIBLE. I love this app and want to keep it but this feature needs to go ### 4/5 — Fantastic *2026-07-09* 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! ### 4/5 — Island bug *2026-07-02* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I get around *2026-08-13* 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. ### 5/5 — Fun app *2026-08-09* Fun app, making me walk a lot. Wishlist: hopefully next version can have better power management since I think other apps can track same way without the power drain! ### 5/5 — Interesting Idea *2026-07-30* I was trying to do this with Strava. So no login ha? All the information is stored on device and will be lost if you change phone? ### 5/5 — If you love NYC you will love this app. *2026-07-23* I grabbed this app almost the week it was available and I’ve been loving it ever since. I can’t say that it has driven more walking on my part (I already walk at least 3 miles every day within an average of 5 miles per day) but the app has driven me to walk new blocks that I don’t think I’ve been on in months or even years. If you love New York City then you’ll love this app. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-07-09, version 1.3.1* I’m really enjoying this app! Well designed and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! Please add more cities! *2026-06-28* This app is so useful and makes walking outside so much more fun! It’s been encouraging me to take longer walks and explore more parts of this beautiful city. Only thing I’d like is for more cities to be added as well. Overall, easily one of the best apps I have on my phone. ### 5/5 — Excellent, privacy oriented app! *2026-06-21, version 1.3.0* …and does well what it promises! A win. ### 5/5 — This app changed my life *2026-06-19* I’ve been using it almost every day and clocking 10-20k steps easily just trying to fill up the grid. This scratches such an insane itch for me and games my brain into exercising so much more. Genuinely excited to go on long walks and it is my favorite part of my day now, thank you for making this! ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-06-18* Just don’t become some weird stalking targeted advertising app ### 5/5 — This is the greatest app ever *2026-06-10, version 1.2.0* My first time ever writing an app review. This is the only app worth reviewing, absolute shout out all around to mr Joe Puccio. Please never sell out and start selling the data for some sort of profit. If the time comes to make money from this please just hmu i’m streethassle. My wife hates this app because I make us walk longer routes. Please I would love for you to make another app exactly like this for biking. I walk a lot but I also bike a lot and have been looking for an app to track which blocks in nyc I bike as well. As i’m trying to both walk and bike every single street. Please do a bike app. You have all my blessings and I pray for you.
