Ratings and Reviews
Garmin
Great app - would be awesome to link to Garmin watch etc.
Great idea, if used correctly
This app lets you bank steps collected by your fitness tracker to take a virtual walk. It's fun to check in on an evening and see where your steps have taken you today, but that experience depends a lot on which walk you choose to do. The app approximates your location based on milestones, so on a walk like the Italian Lakes, which has short milestones and full Street View support, you can bank steps, then go and see what the view is like from where you are; but a walk like Hispaniola has very sparse milestones and no Street View support so banking steps often feels like it doesn't do anything. There are a lot of walks offered, but some of them, like the Australia circumnavigation walk, seem geared towards teams, and the search function only lets you filter by name and by distance in 15,000km units.
It would be nice if future versions offered the ability to set one walk to automatically bank steps rather than the default being to split them, and be able to see interesting views from earlier in the walk rather than just our current location.
Nice idea
Would be better if there was an auto allocation of your steps to the walk instead of having to manually allocate steps (which is several steps in itself- select banked steps, select the walk, slide the slider, confirm that you want to add this amount of steps). Surely that could be a setting- auto allocate to one walk, %split for more than one, manual?
