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
So Much Potential
This app has so much potential, but it needs some work. It does not allow editing of entries, so if you make a mistake entering your steps or distance you are stuck with it. Also, the map doesn’t show where you are at in the course, so it isn’t very motivating. This has the potential to be a 5 star app, but it needs a little work.

Keep getting logged out
Since the update that eliminated Facebook login, I keep getting logged out. Tired of having to keep having to log back in. Will delete soon if it keeps happening.
Good idea, bad execution
I’ve had this app for years and still can’t actually work out how to use it properly. The whole UI is just confusing.
Complicated
Only records steps from my iPhone and doesn’t include any steps done recorded by my Apple Watch. So every day I need to manually add in steps, to account for those it hasn’t counted. Usually I add them in the next day (as so far I keep forgetting) so it then messes up that day!! Making it hard then to work out how many extra steps I need to add in that day!!

Great idea, if used correctly
This app lets you bank steps collected by your fitness tracker to take a virtual walk. It's fun to check in on an evening and see where your steps have taken you today, but that experience depends a lot on which walk you choose to do. The app approximates your location based on milestones, so on a walk like the Italian Lakes, which has short milestones and full Street View support, you can bank steps, then go and see what the view is like from where you are; but a walk like Hispaniola has very sparse milestones and no Street View support so banking steps often feels like it doesn't do anything. There are a lot of walks offered, but some of them, like the Australia circumnavigation walk, seem geared towards teams, and the search function only lets you filter by name and by distance in 15,000km units.
It would be nice if future versions offered the ability to set one walk to automatically bank steps rather than the default being to split them, and be able to see interesting views from earlier in the walk rather than just our current location.

Add Apple Watch Support
Loved the app but switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch and was sad to realize that World Walking doesn’t work with Apple Watch. Please add support for Apple Watch. I had over 47 million steps.
Confusing
For an app that is about counting steps, this requires too many steps to use. My attempt to bank, spend and add steps resulted in steps being counted twice. Something like this should be highly intuitive to use. I don’t want to mess with multiple clicks just to see how far I’ve gotten along a virtual route. Second star is only for the nice selection of routes.

Screen Overlap/Display Issues
It often has aspects of the screen overlapping so I can’t click buttons or navigate properly. The keyboard will often stay open, blocking access to options as well. Feels clunky.
Love it
Simple app that does what I need it to. You walk a bit then add your banked steps to whichever ‘walk’ you choose.
I started with a Dorset coast walk which I completed quite quickly and now I’m doing John O’Groats to Lands End which is quite a bit longer. Seeing my progress on the map is motivating me to walk a bit more each day.

Love
For someone who doesn’t have a lot of money to travel, this is perfect. It enables me to see places (virtually) that I otherwise wouldn’t see. The only thing I would like to see improved is adding other modes of travel since I don’t walk a lot so it takes me FOREVER to get through a walk. Other than that i love this app.

Doesn’t work
Nothing about this is straightforward. I was so looking forward to my walking challenge and due to the confusion this app causes, I have absolutely no idea how far I have walked. The banking distance makes zero sense and does not add to your walk and I’m just done trying to make sense of it now. Absolutely would not recommend.

Great App!
Most apps like these require a fee of some sort, and I can’t believe this is FREE. It’s amazing. Definitely a motivation to get more steps in 2022!
A bit disappointed.
I love the idea of this app and love the idea of having a group as I walk regularly with my family but it crashed at our first walks milestone and hasn’t worked since. Lot of work to set up and now not working. Bit gutted as until that point, it was perfect.
Tweaks needed
Really good idea for app, However it will not sync to Fitbit so having to remember to manually add steps is a pain, also a bit complicated to get started, the ones o. The Fitbit are more straightforward and user friendly,
Stopped syncing with fitbit
The app just stopped banking steps from my fitbit 2 days ago. I disconnected then reconncted the app with my fitbit but nothing happened.
