Walking & Weight Loss: WalkFit 4+

Ever since the last update I can confidently say I HATE the new narrator. I can barely hear it over my music when prior to this update I could hear the narration and cues just fine over my music because the app made the music slightly quieter to ensure the cues would be heard as long as you launched the music from the app.

Now, the narration is almost comical. It’s high pitched and fast. It honestly sounds like an old school Nintendo Mii trying to talk. I HATE it. Also, when music is playing after I launch it from WalkFit, I cannot even hear the cues anymore. It makes walking less enjoyable and more of a hassle. I enjoy having music going while working out. I wish the narrator and this simple setting wouldn’t have been changed with the new update.

Everything else in the update has been awesome, but these are the reasons I can’t give the app the 5 stars it deserves.

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this. I saw it had 4.5 stars but I don’t know why. For the amount this app costs it should be much better than it is. Too many glitches and not intuitive to use at all. I really wish I could get a refund, because, after using it once I don’t plan on using it again because the experience was so bad. The app won’t operate in the background like most fitness apps do do when I went to something else on my phone or when it went into power saving mode it didn’t count my steps. Also when you select music to play through the app it lowers the volume when the instruction voice comes on but when it stops it does not raise the volume back up. So I had to turn the volume up on my headphones. Then without warning it would raise that volume back up and blast the music in my ears. You also can’t use it with your Apple Watch so I have to pull out my phone every time I want to check my progress. The free basic Apple fitness app is ten times better than this and FREE! If you are going to charge for something it should offer something more.

This app isn’t nearly as effective or easy-to-use as advertised. The beginning seems promising as you put in your goals, weight, etc. but once you pay for the subscription, you quickly realize it’s not worth it!! You cannot view a workout plan as advertised and it doesn’t accurately track data. The app would be better if there was a calendar with an actual walking workout plan that users could view including expected length and duration of walks. As is, the app is not conducive to a lifestyle that involves planning. Also, a huge fault is that it does not connect to any devices or app such as an Apple Watch or Fitbit for data. Basically the app uses phone data only so you always need to have your phone with you in order for it to track data like steps. I was very disappointed to find this out as the app does not appropriately track or gather correct data of my movement. For example, my health app and Apple Watch app currently say I have about 1,200 steps for the day but because I wasn’t holding my phone for them, the app says I only have 66. Confusing and not worth the price. Save your money!!!
