### 3/5 — Great idea but it doesn’t work

*2020-11-26, version 3.1*

I don’t think this app has been updated for some time. When downloading an activity it always times out. It’s such a shame as it would be a valuable resource for our family and I’m sure many others too.

### 5/5 — Interesting information on reserves

*2019-11-11, version 3.1*

A useful little app that introduces walkers to some of the wildlife reserves around Sheffield via short “guided” walks with snippets of info on history, ecology etc. Some reviews have said you need to know where the reserves are first but you can either use google map or otherwise look them up on the Wildlife trust website. Easy.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2015-04-11, version 3.1*

Of no use without a map reference or indication of where to start! What a shame- I Iove the concept.

### 3/5 — Don't know where some of these places are

*2015-04-05, version 3.1*

Clearly a lot of thought has gone into this app but by people who already know these places. I can't tell where some of these are in relation to my house or the city centre. Downloading a walk didn't necessarily make that clearer. Had to Google More Hall Reservoir for instance.

### 3/5 — Ok if you know,the area

*2015-02-11, version 3.1*

Nice try but there is no indication where in Sheffield any of these locations are. A simple map reference would make this app usable.
