### 3/5 — Pause Required

*2026-06-26*

Please can you provide a pause button? I was stopped on my walk by someone and had to stop the app and then restart again. It really needs a pause button.

### 1/5 — Falls Short

*2025-04-29*

I have not used this app. However, it doesn’t allow metric measurements nor does it seem to interface with other databases, such as Health. These are non-starters for me.

### 2/5 — Needs a fix

*2024-10-28*

Walked 3.2 miles but it didn’t save my progress! Features seem nice if only the most basic one actually worked!

### 1/5 — Does not track

*2023-10-26*

Disappointing

### 3/5 — Not User Friendly

*2022-10-03*

It’s difficult to figure out how the app works. The app said I walked 3.3 miles this morning, but under progress, it said I had no progress?

### 1/5 — Lauf wurde nicht gezählt

*2022-01-04*

Mein letzter Lauf wurde nicht gezählt und ist verlorengegangen. Während des Laufs war alles ok, nach dem Beenden haben die Kilometer leider gefehlt. Leider gibt es keine Möglichkeit das manuell zu korrigieren. -> fatale Fehlfunktion und damit leider unbrauchbar.

### 5/5 — See the best

*2020-09-24*

Best app for Nordic walking. I love the feature that allows me to the famous trerks such as hike to mt. Kilimanjaro.”

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for taking the time to review our app! Happy Trekking!

### 5/5 — Great for hikes and for simple everyday fitness

*2020-09-23*

I love to travel and with the pandemic, this app is great for motivating me to go outside and go for a long walk. I may not be able to go to Patagonia right now, but at least I can pretend.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for taking the time to review our app!
