What is the Japanese Walking Method? It’s an interval walking method where you walk fast for 3 minutes, then slow for 3 minutes, and repeat this cycle for 5 rounds. It’s considered to be more effective than regular walking. What science says: https://www.uc.edu/news/articles/2025/07/just-30-minutes-a-day-of-japanese-walking-may-help-you-get-in-shape.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com Japanese walking turns ordinary steps into short, purposeful intervals that fit any schedule. Follow fast-then-easy cycles to elevate your daily walk, build stamina, and stay motivated—no gym required. Boost Energy – Quick pace surges wake up body and mind. Boost Cardio – Alternating speeds gently train heart and lungs. Boost Motivation – Real-time cues keep every session engaging. Boost Consistency – Short workouts slip into busy calendars. Easy Routine — Each Step Starts With “Walk” Walk Fast 3 min – Push to a brisk, challenging pace. Walk Easy 3 min – Slow down, breathe, stay moving. Walk Repeat 5× – About 30 minutes total, then cool down. Frequently Asked Questions Why is Japanese walking popular?

I should expect that the app keeps working when I lock my phone but it does not! How can something so critical be missing? Especially for a paid app.

Developer Response
We’ve released an update where we fixed the bug.Yes, you’re right — unfortunately, due to the specifics of iOS, the background timer works inconsistently: for some users it functions properly, while for others it doesn't.Thank you for letting us know, as it was working fine on our devices.We hope you won't encounter this issue anymore.By the way, the timer functionality itself is free — there’s no need to pay for it.

I like music when I walk. If I toggle between music and walking app the sound is muted. Example: if im on theMusic app I cant hear the alert sounds for change ofpace bc its muted. When on the Japanese then, when on this Walking app my music mutes. If I turn up music while in this app and toggle back to the music app it breaks my eardrums. My phone is an Apple iPhone. It would be helpful too if the alert sounds were different depending on change of pace speed. Also, a longer duration of the sound would be helpful. Pls provide your email so your customers can request refunds (including yours truly).

UPD: We’ve added voice guidance for the timer, which fixes the issue you described!Thank you for your feedback and for pointing out the issues. Regarding the refund – it is handled by Apple, so please contact them directly. As a developer I cannot process refunds myself, but my settings allow Apple to approve any refund request.As for the sound, unfortunately Apple has strict limitations for background timers, so sounds don’t always work perfectly. Still, notifications should arrive normally, and I will work on improving this and adding different alert sounds.I’m sorry to have disappointed you and that it led to a one-star review.

I bought the app because of this feature, but it neither shows up in my list of apps or appears connected. This makes it very klugy. I also can’t connect it to my watch. Okay. It is connected, but it doesn’t show in my list of apps, I still can’t get it on my Apple Watch.

Needs just a little tweaking

This really would be perfect except that the alert for slow walking is almost inaudible. The alert to switch to fast walking is nice and loud. It just needs to be at a consistent level (or adjustable by the user).

Developer Response
Thank you so much for your feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.We tried to reproduce the issue but couldn’t manage to. Could you please clarify which specific sound the problem occurs with? This would help us investigate and fix it more effectively.Thanks again for your help! 🙏

Updated the icon and removed the paywall on app launch during repeat sessions so it doesn’t annoy users
