Footnotes Character Journeys
Journey through literature
Free
Walk the path of literature's greatest journeys!
As an avid book reader, I was always looking for ways to really put myself in the world of the protagonists of my favorite novels. Footnotes Character Journeys is my attempt to really put myself in the hiking boots of my heroes! In Footnotes, every step you take in the real world is reflected in Odysseus's journey home, Elizabeth's ride to Pemberley, or a Poe character's haunted walks. Footnotes uses your actual walking and cycling in the real world (as tracked in Apple Health) and maps that onto the journeys of literature's most legendary figures. Your actual GPS data is never used, only your raw distance traveled.
Install Footnotes, and start your own epic journey!
The legendary "Long Way Home" is now a full five-part voyage with 10 new stops — and sea routes finally travel over water instead of cutting across land.
We also gave the waypoints view a fresh Field Journal look that now runs throughout the app, with a cleaner timeline and distance to your next stop.
Plus a big round of fixes:
• Long journeys no longer get stuck at 99%
• Quests now properly reach 100% at the finish
• Your watch and iPhone agree on your current waypoint
• More reliable arrival notifications
• Fixed a couple of crashes and polished things up for the latest iOS
