Same city. New adventures. We all have our usual walks. The same turn, the same block, the same way home. Color My Walk gives you a fresh walk from your door, along streets you haven't walked, and lets your city fill with color as you go. HOW IT WORKS • Choose how far: steps, miles, minutes or calories. • Get a loop that starts and ends at your door. Want a different one? It's a tap away. • Follow turn-by-turn directions. Your phone can stay in your pocket: the app records your walk with the screen off and lets you know before the next turn. • Watch the streets find their color. Every walk gets its own. GREEN, WATER OR QUIET Choose what your walk should follow: parks and green paths, shores and piers, or streets away from traffic. The map shows where along the walk it does. Walking themed walks is part of Pro. YOUR MAP Your next walk picks streets you haven't walked. Street by street, a map of your discoveries grows. Your profile shows how far you've gone, how much of it was new ground, and every place you've walked, drawn as the pattern your own walks have made. FREE TO TRY Heading out without a drawn walk and watching the streets fill with color is always free. Your first five drawn walks are free too, and a walk only counts once you've gone about 1,000 feet. After that you keep drawing new walks with a subscription, which you can cancel any time. SUBSCRIPTION Color My Walk Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. It renews automatically and is charged to your Apple Account unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. You can manage and cancel it in your App Store settings.
