walk.App - Walking with GPS

I did a 2.7 mile walk then stopped at a friends home for about 1/2 hour. When I left to head home app did not recognize I had already gone 2.7 miles. It started all over again at zero. I had setting setting at always track so should automatically stop tracking when I am sitting still, but begin again when I start moving. I have will remove app from phone and try to find an app that really does keep data of my runs.

Does everything I expected, and functions reliably. The only ding is that I haven’t been able to link it to my Apple Watch, so I don’t have to dig out the iPhone to see how far I’ve walked. I walk with distance goals, and vary the routes to keep it from getting boring. So, on a new route I’m never sure of how far I’ve walked thus far, or how much further I need to walk to meet the goal. If I could link with the Apple Watch, it would be a five star app. And, if it logged my pulse when I call it up from the watch it would be perfect.

The music function has been somehow resetting itself lately. It won’t remember what playlist is selected, and I have to manually set it each time. This was not a problem before, so something changed along the way.

It’s really good. I love the automatic pause and start feature and that I can set a goal and it will tell me if I fall short or do better. My two problems would be that the use only while open setting dose not work it will asks me to allow location access and the second is even after deleting a ‘walk’ it is still used in the statistics summary. That one is kinda on me I tried to use the app inside and the GPS did not track well and said I did a mile in 7 minutes my best is actually 17.

This app works very well and I would recommend. I wish it did more analysis of the last walk like add “last walk” to summary screen and add a bar graph of last walk by changes in altitude and distanced color coded and by pace. I just think more could be done with the last walk data. But that is a minor thing. The app works great and keeps the data local and no pay by month stuff.

Problems are not start yet froze. Problem not open map and not work distances map.

Easy to use and works well.

Great app does everything advertised

Claim it’s free - but watch out. You open it up one day and they want money.

Un bémol pour l’utilisation car il faut aller dans réglages à chaque utilisation pour enlever « toujours « sinon la batterie se vide en peu de temps.
