The Walk: Fitness Tracker Game

前のレビューで、クイーンズイングリッシュと書かれていますが、最初の方はスコットランド英語がメインで、何回か聴いてようやく特徴がつかめてきました。すごく独特なので英語学習者のリスニング練習には向きません。映画やドラマでかなり聞き取れる人向けです。私は、全部は聞き取れていませんが、数回聞いて筋はつかめています。ロバート・カーライルのスコットランド英語をイメージしていただくと分かりやすいかと。シナリオは、かなりハラハラドキドキ、でもユーモアも散りばめられていて、とてもよくできています。短いシーンをつないであるので、まとまった時間がなくても、ちょこちょこ聞けるのがよいです。続きが聞きたくて、ついついムダに歩いています（笑）ストーリー以外にチャレンジモードもあって、24時間以内に何分歩かないといけないとか、ゲーム性も上手に取り込まれています。

NHK「おはよう日本」で 、ゲームとジョギングを組み合わせたイギリス初のゲーム”Zombies Run”が紹介されていました。私は走るより歩く方が好きなので、探してみました。　Zombies Runと同じ会社が出しています。 歩いた時間に応じて、ストーリーの先を、キレイなクイーンズイングリッシュの音声で聴くことができます。　英語のヒヤリングの練習もできるのでいいのでは？

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

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 😓

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.
