Strut

This app is one of the few on my home screen! I love road trips and hiking. I also love exploring and seeing new sights. I always had a Rand McNally map and yellow highlighter in the car and would mark where I’d been. Then I’d check the map to pick new, unexplored places. This app allows me to create my own map of my travels. It’s easy to see where I haven’t been yet and encourages me to take new paths. I joined up after they cutoff the air travel folks - hard to compete against those in the industry. After all, you can’t say you’ve been somewhere if you flew over it at 30,000 feet! So now I’m getting family and friends involved and am climbing the ranks! If you like maps, exploring …and if you’re just lil competitive, this is your app!

Can’t X out of the level-up banner without closing the app. Terrible interface design. Couldn’t even play for 5min. Deleted

Others are correct that battery drains quickly, so be warned. There aren't really many other bugs, however, and I believe it works well. My main concern however is I am unable to reset my account with my username. When transfering the app to another phone, I am unable to recover my progress on my account that was never deleted yet. I am not sure whether the account I have lost can still be logged in with my apple id or an email, and I haven't been able to contact them.

Not sure what is happening but I do not understand why the thickpolicy website asks for donations (to keep this alive) and then when I donate through the app, I don’t even get the achievement. Never mind the fact that this app costed a couple bucks to obtain in the first place. If they really wanted to keep it alive, maybe release it on android as well.

I love this app and have been using it since it was first released. My phone gets very hot when it is tracking my Strut - is there any chance you could optimize the GPS usage so it doesn’t chew through the battery? Thanks in advance!

Great concept, but unpolished. Also, drained my battery in 30 minutes, so also useless, would definitely use if improved.

I love Strut; I’ve been using it for the better part of 4 years. Somewhat like and unlike Strut, I use two apps (Google Maps and Tile) which constantly uses my location. Maybe these apps don’t get my location at the same frequency as Strut but they don’t drain my battery like Strut does. I really would like to see some effort to reduce battery usage in Strut like the aforementioned apps.

I used to have this app on my old phone, and I really liked it. However, I recently got a new phone, downloaded it, and launched it. The second I was logged into a new account, the game crashed. I reopened it, but the same thing happened. I tried restarting my phone, as well as deleting the app then reinstalling it. Does anyone know the reason to this? This bug isn’t happening for any other apps.

This app used to be a lot of fun. It was cool to bring it up and see if you had been there before. Now, it won’t track reliably if it is being used in the background. And even if it’s not running in the background, it crashes pretty regularly.

Fun app. However it has stopped tracking once the app is put in the background. I have reinstalled the app and to no avail. The problem persists.
