2024-11-26 | Chris and Sarah Spanton | Very accurate. Best app counting steps I have come across. Also use the biking app which is excellent. | |
2024-11-18 | Kanta Boora | Best app for tracking pasth and measuring actual distance. | |
2022-10-28 | Sassi D | I am pleased to have found this app after several frustrating efforts with others that were far to complicated. I walk 3-4 times weekly- simply to maintain health,strength, and energy, and only need a basic app to keep track of time and distance. This app does this without interruptions, registration, or requiring credit card information. Thank you for offering an uncomplicated service in a world that is too often unnecessarily convoluted. | |
2022-10-27 | Robert Corney | Used it a second time today. Same distance. App put an extra 1 km and registered highest speed of 25.25 kmh which is not possible walking. Vierd off around half way. Will rate it again after next walk. After a month using the App not had any more problems. Would be good if the App showed the time for each Km or Mi. So one could see where the slower speeds are. Uped the rating to 5 stars. | |
2022-10-11 | Ray Valverde | The app used to show distance, time, steps and pace on the read out, now it only shows time and steps x3. As a walker i rely on distance which helps during my walks. I can add distance and set a daily goal. Now i have to guess by steps. Loved the app, til someone messed with it! Dont make me start shopping for a new app. | |
2022-07-19 | Marie Kho | Great app. Not perfect but it is free and doesn't require registration. It uses GPS so distance can be off if area in has poor cell coverage. My route is aprox 0.5 miles and app varies from 0.5 to 0.59. The calorie tracker is linked to the pedometer, so if you the device isn't in a place to teack your steps, it won't have accurate step or calorie. (This is inherent with all apps, not just this one, just less annoying since it is free and requires no registration). Simple and easy to use. | |
2022-06-05 | Bret Busby | I revoke my previous good review for the software. I today used it for a longer walk, and, at the end, an advertisement took control and would not let me exit the adverisement without going to its website or closing thek window. Upon closing the window, the data for the walk, was eliminated. So, the software has gone from being good, to being simply malware. End of story. | |
2022-01-13 | G. McK | Previously gave this 5 stars as it worked perfectly. I later rated it only 1 star as it would not work without the screen being active. It would not record the map route, calories burned or distance when the screen was asleep making it useless. I saw other similar reviews. I have since dicovered you must optimise your phone battery for the app to work with the screen asleep. Having your phone in battery saving mode was the problem for me. 3 stars but 5 if the battery problem was sorted. | |
2021-07-02 | G B | Simple perfect... makes what needed without extra unnecessaries. I tried a lot of such apps, but this is much better than the popular ones. Advertisment is placed at the right time, does not block the half screen during usage (just at the end of walking for few seconds), the record of the path is accurate, congratulation, to the developers and thanks. | |
2021-06-02 | Coach Driver | App is doing my head in these days. I no longer trust it...just shown my walk as about 5 miles and I think 3 max. The other week it showed I had walked over 80 miles in 75 minutes....oh and it had me in France...I was in UK Looking to remove for something else. Have removed the app,and reinstalled,as seems others have had problems since an update. |
