Pros and cons of Walk Watch - GPS Walking Computer for tracking, mapping and fitness app for iPhone and iPad
Walk Watch - GPS Walking Computer for tracking, mapping and fitness app good for
Really like the tracking and mapping. Seems to need a little work to properly capture date and time, though, but you can fix it after.
After bouncing around a bunch of more well known apps, found Walk Watch, its versatile and works great. A happy app user!
Very useful app, helps me keep track of my activity. I like all the features and the reports. Sometimes I just record a walk on a route I have done before without having Location services and GPS tracking on, then the repeating reminders to turn location services on are quite annoying. This only started after an upgrade for iOS7. Other than that, good app, can recommend it.
As others have written, this app may not record my distances super accurately every time and may not record my walk once in a while but it does everything I want and works on my old IPhone 4. For me, this app is good enough.
Some bad moments
Since May 2011, I used the Walkwatch to map and time daily run. Then at the end of July I updated to this crappy version and IT DOESNT SAVE THE DATA. I ran today and then clicked the big red stop button then clicked the save button and the crappy program just shuts down! When I opened the program again the data I just saved isnt there! I had to manually enter it which defeats the purpose of this program if I have to guess at the data to enter right! The stars show only on the days that I ran from the previous version but not this new version. Trying desperately to roll back while saving my data. Thanks for nothing!
Loved this app. Not happy after the July update. It doesnt save my data anymore, just shuts down when I try to save. Please bring back the old app that works.
It worked well at the start, now it shuts off 3 times out of 4. Lost too many walks to consider continuing to use it. Very annoying.
1 month later: the tracking is inconsistent. Same thing with the altitude. Could be better.

Great App. Would be great if it would automatically pause (and restart) after an amount of time (depending on the activity level of the walker). More graph could be interesting. Continue your great work.
Most of my walks are not working. It starts out ok, then after my walk there is nothing there. I wish they would fix this glitch. Oct. 18/11.
This app looks really good, and would be if it were consistent in its tracking. You can walk the same measured distance repeatedly and get wildly different distances reported. Their support just says "a lot of factors affect GPS tracking". Nuts. Good weather is good weather and phone signals arent affected. Distances should be accurate. And theyre not.
