Walk Watch - GPS Walking Computer for tracking, mapping and fitness App Reviews

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.

Gps, mapped, times... Awesome!

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.

This app is a horrible waste of money. Might track 25% of the time and crashes the other 75% of the time. It was quite good originally and had a much nicer interface. Updates have taken it from decent (had a few glitches but generally worked, at least) to bad to worse!

After bouncing around a bunch of more well known apps, found Walk Watch, its versatile and works great. A happy app user!

I like this app. But it gives different distances for the same route. Varies as much as 0.5 km. Also shows very high calorie burn which I question. Easy to use and has never crashed.

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.

Doesnt really work. Errors on track in distance and speed, and saves wrong information too. Did a walk, turned back after 2.5 km and arrived back at start at 4.8 km. One km recorded at double time. Took about 280 calories, saved as 1124 calories.

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.

Really enjoy this app. Has helped me get motivated.

Its awesome, I love everything about this app. I would highly recommend this to all anyone keeping track and losing weight :)

The best App Ive ever used!

The app works pretty well, but I cant figure out how to make the date change automatically. I usually have to go into the outing details and manually change the date and time of the outing. It shouldnt be that hard to have the app use the current date and time.

Beware !

If you are a new user downloading this app it probably earns three or four stars. If you are a veteran user of the previous version you should be aware this "update" will destroy your exercise history! If you feel you must install the upgrade, be sure to use the backup and restore function in "more" at the bottom right of the main screen. Hopefully, when the new version wipes your data you can restore it with this feature. I continue to rate this a one-star app simply because the developers failed to warn us the new version is wholly incompatible with data saved in the older version. I lost six months of run and walk data, a frustrating experience to say the least.
