Keeps losing progress

Seems like it would be good if it didn’t keep losing progress.

So much potential

What could be great is just poor. Instructions are lack lustre and no interaction between targets. I don’t know whether I can listen to my own music to fill in the gaps between missions or whatever. Tried once and reset as instructions were poor. Tried a second time and being honest thoroughly dull. Don’t bother

Can’t purchase - just an expensive subscription model

So initially a great app. I liked the cheesy storyline of being an unwitting spy, carrying a parcel for 500 miles & it was just something different to listening to music & podcasts Also impressed it had been built in conjunction and sponsored by the NHS In the App Store it also says you can buy the app for £4.49….. Once you’ve done the first 4 missions - which I did over the course of 2 weeks on and off - it asks you to pay for it. No problem, happy to pay, errr where’s the purchase button. Nope, their minimum subscription is now £5.99 a month. However their support site & website still talks about purchasing it but nope supposedly changed the model in Dec 2019 I don’t want to join a running club to be chased by Zombies & I want to do the app in my own time. Not have to pay £33 for a 12 month subscription (which I guesstimated it would take me at least) instead of a £4.49 one off purchase So guess I’ll go back to listening to millions of songs & podcasts instead and then listen to the Proclaimers once my phone tells me I’ve walked those 500 miles TL;DR Great potential - shady pricing model for 5+ year app.

Kinda disappointed

I’ve recently started using zombies run and was hoping this would be the same but for walking. I’m really disappointed that you have to keep getting your phone out to open content it is really annoying. Also would be nice to be able to listen to music without it cutting out every time the story starts!

Excellent Walking app

I really enjoy this and it gets me walking to find out what happens next in the story. I would like the option to play the audio clips automatically but this is a minor point. I especially like the throwback touches to Zombies Run - curly wurlys , a sports bra and of course familiar voice actors (Sam Yao 😃).

Great app but...

This is actually a great app - really engaging ... but please make the audio play automatically as you reach the next story points .... that’s my only criticism

Disappointing

App doesn’t track accurately, is very buggy and not at all integrated in the same way Zombies, Run is. The story is good but the fact content is one minute long and you have to go into the app to listen to it each time is just a hassle when you when you want to be walking along enjoying the story/the walking. Also notifications don’t seem to work meaning I’ve missed out on supposed “bonus” content. Overall, the app is clunky and not that easy to use. Also, as someone who lives in Scotland, those Scottish accents are dreadful.

I really want to like it, but...

The story seems good so far, but it doesnt play automatically. So you have to stop and figure out ehere you are and press a little thing. To me it ruins the whole point. And if you are walking in the sun you cant always see the screen. I hoped it would be like zombie run. I dont understand the pount of it if it make you stop and fiddle with it.

Walker

I am really enjoying it but sometimes it’s not clear what you have to do like avoid the solidiers of collect them!

Great fun!

Really good motivation to get out and moving - really really wish it had an auto-play option that unlocked and played the clips as you passed checkpoints tho - having to look at and hold a phone all the time is a bit annoying
