If only I could log in!

If I could log in, I bet this would be a great app!

Not what I was expecting

You have to manually log the steps; map does not show where you are with distance logged. What is the point? Delete!

Don’t do the Silk Road

I was really looking forward to this one. It’s about 10000km in all and obvs one of the good things about some of the walks in the app are the pictures you can see on the way. Not on this walk though. All of China blotted out and further on too. Now if they had told me that before I started, I wouldn’t have bothered. A real letdown!

A bit disappointed

I really wish this would link with my garmin and not just Fitbit and Apple health. I have an iPhone, but Garmin and Apple Health don’t sync quite properly. I’m not a fan of having to go in at the end of the day and enter in all of my steps or kilometers.

Not good enough
