Strolly: Generated daily walks 4+

Nice simple v1 implementation of a great idea.

This is something I would use and will be beneficial to my struggles with physical activity.

Needs some way to export to a navigation app. With its goal of providing random and unique routes, it is nearly impossible to remember the route and it is impractical to check my phone constantly to keep to the route. Needs hooks or export to an app with navigation (one with voice turn-by-turn in my headphones).

Looking forward to future versions.

Needs improvement

1. On my first walk, the app wants to send me through a military base that is off-limits to civilians. Even though the app has a flag/feature to flag a problem with a route, the flag only goes to yourself and not to the developers. Also, there is no way to click on specific parts of the route that are bad, instead you have to flag all of the route. 2. It doesn’t actually track your walks in real time. All it does is lay out a map for you. It does not know whether you follow that mapped walk, nor where you are on the map. I would really like something that kept up with my walk in real time. 3. No Apple Watch app! It seems like it would be indispensable for an app like this to include an Apple Watch app. 4. If it gives you a bad walk, like it did for me today trying to take me through a military base, there doesn’t appear to be any way to ask for a new route for today.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your feedback, we are planning to add more features in future updates, including following the walk and watch support. The flag feature tells the algorithm to avoid the flagged segment in future walk suggestions, we are looking into providing more fine-grained control. If you don't like any of the three walk suggestions for the day, you can long press on the stack of cards and select the "Clear all" option. This will tell the app to generate a new set of walks.

Great concept

I really like the concept of this app. It's only the initial release so it's pretty limited in features and scope but I can definitely see how this app will improve rapidly. Smash the tip button to ensure this app continues to improve.
