The Walk: Fitness Tracker Game - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Created with the NHS and the UK's Department of Health, The Walk helps you walk more, every single day. When you’re playing The Walk, every step counts.

A bomb explodes in Inverness station, and you’re given a package that could save the world. To stay alive, you’ll need to walk the length of the UK. The Walk is more than just a great pedometer/step counter — it's a way to turn walking into a journey, a challenge, and a rip-roaring adventure.

Made by Six to Start and Naomi Alderman, creators of the world’s most popular running game with over 5 million players, Zombies, Run!

ENGADGET - “Simple, fun, effective.”
JOYSTIQ - "Spices up your step-tracking with some danger and intrigue.”
BBC NEWS - “Encourages users to walk 10,000 steps-a-day to help improve their health”
LIFEHACKER - “You're motivated to actually get up and move around so you can progress further into the story, and it works really well.”

AWESOME ACTIVITY TRACKER
Just put your phone in your pocket or purse and we’ll track every walk and run you take — and map it, too!

CAPTIVATING STORY
You’ll walk the length of the UK while evading capture by the police and enemy agents. Can you work out who set off that bomb in the first place and what their plan is? Get ready for an epic adventure across 65 episodes, 800 minutes of audio, and hundreds of miles.

MOTIVATING GAMEPLAY
Get rewarded for walking more by collecting clues, scanning for information, and unlocking achievements.

- Requires iOS 10.3
- This app integrates with the Health app via Healthkit to read and track your steps and movement data to register your progress in the game

The Walk is designed to use GPS sparingly and should have little to no impact on your battery.

Bad interface and dishonest

This app has a bad interface, it’s annoying to get the episodes to play all together without stopping every minute or two. Plus it is advertised as free but then there’s a paywall a few episodes in. Sad I wasted time with it.

Challenges reset before done

I like this app for the main episodes but every time I try to do a challenge I get partway through and then the app resets my progress and I have to start over. This is extremely disheartening. For example, today I got more than an hour through a 92-minute challenge when it reset. The only way I’ve completed any challenges is by keeping my phone unlocked with the app open for the entirety of a challenge, which is ridiculous when it’s over an hour and a half long. Considering that I’m paying for this app, I’m very bummed.

Good idea, bad app

Great idea and fun but for the 3rd time I’ve been trying to complete the third episode and it just resets when you’re about 80% done.

Not working

I’ve been at the exact same place for the last three days. Probably going to delete it since it no longer works. Sad :/

It could be fixed so easily

It would take a half of day of programming to make this app an enjoyable experience but sadly it’s just teadious. For something that’s meant to be less hands on than zombies run and more of a step counter they missed the mark with how they operate collectibles and achievements. Also I have a problem with the side missions. I draw a path and make an effort to be more active for 24 hours only to have the program reset and not track any of my progress. Zombies Run works great but it’s a subscription service with free bits. This that I paid for hasn’t served me well in the five years I’ve been using it. I just wish I could use this purchase as a legacy app for the zombies run subscription. Guess I’ll just keep slogging away at the free missions there and redownload another step counter from a certain game company with little alien seeds.

Please make more walking apps!

I loved loved loved this app. It really inspired me to walk. The voice acting and story line were superb. Please make more walking apps with this same setup. I clocked a ton steps using it. I prefer walking at my own pace/time when my job permits. So this app type is perfect for a busy office worker that has to squeeze in workouts in snippets. Thank you!

Wish I could save progress

That is my only critique - I would love to save my progress, since i’ve had to cut walks short on occasion and waste all my progress 😓

Like it but UI is garbage

I liked the story and acting so i paid for it and don’t regret. However, the UI is pretty inconvenient. You can’t save in progress manually (but it would stay in the middle without it), the episode goes back to the episode 1 when you finishes playing a episode so you should go swipe further manually to start next episode, and the biggest issue is the challenges would be reset if you use other apps like music or phone call while you doing the challenges which take up to 90 mins. I’ve sent an email about this issue because I can’t literally play, but no reply.

Its ok

I found this though the Zombie Run app. I was expecting it to be more like the zombie run app with clips to listen to while listening to your own music, seeing as it was made by the same people. Im exercising and focusing on what im doing, i don't want to pull out my phone ever few min to listen to a clip. The zombie run app helps me get moving and looking forward to the next clip. This app…. No motivation there. Sorry.

No Text :(

Deaf, very disappointed to see sound only and no text.
