World Walking

Not good enough

I’ve had this app for years and still can’t actually work out how to use it properly. The whole UI is just confusing.

Only records steps from my iPhone and doesn’t include any steps done recorded by my Apple Watch. So every day I need to manually add in steps, to account for those it hasn’t counted. Usually I add them in the next day (as so far I keep forgetting) so it then messes up that day!! Making it hard then to work out how many extra steps I need to add in that day!!

Simple app that does what I need it to. You walk a bit then add your banked steps to whichever ‘walk’ you choose. I started with a Dorset coast walk which I completed quite quickly and now I’m doing John O’Groats to Lands End which is quite a bit longer. Seeing my progress on the map is motivating me to walk a bit more each day.

Nothing about this is straightforward. I was so looking forward to my walking challenge and due to the confusion this app causes, I have absolutely no idea how far I have walked. The banking distance makes zero sense and does not add to your walk and I’m just done trying to make sense of it now. Absolutely would not recommend.

Most apps like these require a fee of some sort, and I can’t believe this is FREE. It’s amazing. Definitely a motivation to get more steps in 2022!

I love the idea of this app and love the idea of having a group as I walk regularly with my family but it crashed at our first walks milestone and hasn’t worked since. Lot of work to set up and now not working. Bit gutted as until that point, it was perfect.

Really good idea for app, However it will not sync to Fitbit so having to remember to manually add steps is a pain, also a bit complicated to get started, the ones o. The Fitbit are more straightforward and user friendly,

Not self explanatory. Too much back and forth to sort out a group, add a walk, see who is leading in the steps for that walk. Good job it’s free as I wouldn’t pay!!

So nice to find a walking app that’s actually free to use! So many say free, but then you discover that you need to subscribe to use them, so this app is wonderful. I’ve done a few small walks, around famous cities, and it’s lovely reaching the landmarks and being able to read all about them. I’m just about to start my first “big” walk, taking in the wonders of ancient Egypt. I definitely think this encourages me to walk more, I’m mobility impaired so I need all the encouragement I can get! Thank you to the developers for this fab app, and for keeping it free to use!
