The Walk: Fitness Tracker Game

Great idea but such a shame it does not work like the Zombie run which is part of the package I purchased. I have to stop and look at the screen to listen to the commentary. Where as the Zombie run automatically plays as you go along. This is a great motivational app to keep going to see what happens next in the story. Wondering if when you do upgrades you could code it like Zombie Run with the automatic commentary overriding my music?

Loved the free episodes but graphics and story not the best to be paying monthly subscription fees for

I confess I haven’t actually tried any missions yet. I had some issues getting it going due to the permissions required. I’m giving this 5 stars because even if the missions end up being just a brick wall for me to stare at, the email support is utterly superb. Real person (or really damn good Turing Test-blitzing AI), great response time (I assume they’re in a different time zone to me), troubleshooting, requesting screenshots of the problems and working through it step by step, rounding out with a pledge to feed back to the developers to note for future releases. They clearly care about the quality of the app.

It has a fantastic plot and wonderful characters, and is a brilliant way to keep yourself distracted while having a long walk. Would be good if there was a continuation to this story, or even a prequel.

I have only had the app for three days and in that time completed three chapters. However at some point today the ZombieLink app stopped working and now its not linking back up. I’ve paid for ZombieRun and on the first day with The Walk all the lock buttons turned to download buttons, but now they’ve changed back to locks.

I like the concept of this game and the story. But it takes a very, very long time to complete an episode - so far, I’ve had to walk so many days (72+ hours), before one episode would complete. If it says 17 minutes, it actually means 17 hours or longer - time under 6 minutes, works but anything longer is in hours. Even walking so many kilometres, does hardly anything - adds/removes about 2 to 4 minutes from the map. For the tracking to not work properly, it seems that the app doesn’t actually recognise steps or distances - even though the steps are close to what’s been tracked on my pedometer, this app requires some other type of movement to make it move on the map. This is annoyingly frustrating and quite boring when I’m waiting so many days and have walked for so many hours, to hear one audio recording/story. If the game’s story was more like Zombies, Run! and had the same options ( such as distance/GPS, pace etc), I’d be hearing the story more often, instead of waiting quite a few days to pass beforehand - the distance between each story is quite a large gap, it also seems like it’s missing parts of the story... unless it’s suppose to cut off and leave us wondering and confused. The blizzard story was quite bad - even though I played the audio each time it became available, it sounded like I just appeared in that location (from out of nowhere) and couldn’t even tell what was going on at the time. An explanation of how, what, when, where and/or why, goes a long way. How it is now, it sounds like a conversation that started half way. EG. “Then when he was finished, he went home”. It didn’t explain who he was, where he was, where he was going, where he was suppose to be, if he was with friends, why he was there, what he was doing or anything else - it’s like there’s no point, purpose, reason &/or understanding of what exactly is suppose to be happening. All I know with this game is: A few of us were given a device that needs to be taken from Inverness to Geneva, while others want it and are hunting us. And Charlie is guiding us to the location. It would actually be good if we got more for our money, such as: 1) items that can be seen in a database, instead of being words on a map. 2) Add more to the story or more audio to current episodes, so we don’t have to wait so many days to hear each of them. 3) The items that can be collected (documents, files, photos etc), should mean something or be a part of what’s occurring - it just looks like random rubbish t

Very buggy. Would not recommend this app till it gets an update.

I suppose that should be obvious with a name like "the walk", but it's impossible to have the phone in your pocket or on your arm while playing because you'll miss things on the map. Also, the accents sound fake and are super annoying. To the point where I stopped playing after the second or third "chapter". Would be good if you get bored walking to work or school and don't like listening to music.

I really wanted to love this app. I have Run, Zombies, Run! And it changed my life. The Walk could be amazing, but just has a few things I personally would prefer changed! I get that it's meant to be interactive, but I find it cumbersome to constantly be looking at the screen and tapping things when I'm meant to be walking. I wish there were a mode where audio played automatically when you hit checkpoints. I also wish it worked with your music, in the same was RZR does. I ended up giving up as it was just too hard to try and look at the screen and tap while hiking (and not fall over something), but I guess it would work if you were just on an even-ground gentle walk.

This app really helps if you don't always have the willpower to keep going - storyline is great too!! One of my fave fitness apps now
