The Walk: Fitness Tracker Game App Reviews

After the last couple of updates I find that the step count and walk timing is far more accurate. I find myself trying to find ways to get more steps in during the day, like printing to the furthest printer and taking the long way back to my desk after getting a coffee. Great game and I look forward to finding out what happens next in the story.

Still needs improvement in step count but I love the storyline and the concept. Very motivating.

The story is so captivating! I find myself eager to walk more every day!

Much better since the last update, the pedometer portion seems to be a lot more accurate on the iPhone 4. Great job Six To Start!

I have Zombies! Run! And love it and The Walk turned out just as captivating. A great storyline that keeps you guessing. Are we really the good guys? Tracking works well and running in the background doesnt drain my battery too much (though listening to the stories can). If you need a bit a motivation to get out and move then Start to Six has you covered.

Great motivation! I love it!!!

I need to keep walking to find out whats happening next! This is the very most interesting pedometer ever!

What a awesome idea. Gotta walk so this is a great story telling adventure.

Great nonthreatening app for any fitness level. Adds some intrigue to solo walking. If you are an inactive person looking for an easy start on getting active this is fantastic. The story is engaging with touches of mystery, wry humour and even some touching character development. Game play is simple and easy to understand. The difficulty level is adaptive and will adjust to challenge you as you go through the levels. I recommend this app to anyone wanting to add some interest or motivation to walking, be it for exercise, or commuting or whatever. It will also work while jogging or on a treadmill. For those looking for a beginning fitness app its an easier start than jumping straight into the more daunting Zombies Run, and a good way to get active and start to build up to jogging or running even if you are completely sedentary. Excellent app.

Very disappointed with this. I personally dont need an app swearing at me. I also dont love that it is buggy about tracking my movement. It also is a huge battery drainer.

If you are out for a stroll and dont mind having to take out your device and interact with it every 7 minutes or so then this is the app for you. If you are trying to get a serious walk in, are walking in the rain or, in my case, walking in minus 30, then this level of interaction is annoying. After a minute in minus 30 your finger tips start to hurt. Great story that will keep you amused while out for a leisurely stroll. Otherwise stick with Zombies Run.

I am just getting back into fitness and in the between days of the Zombies, Run! 5K Training I thought I would try this. I did the first episode today and I have to say I really dont care for it. The story is interesting and I like the concept but I dont like the interaction of this. I liked that Zombies,Run! Tells you how much longer to things and the audio allows for my music to be played in between. The Walk doesnt allow me to do that and I constantly have to be staring at my phone. Would it be that difficult to start an episode and have the characters say like oh it should just be ahead a couple of minutes and then play the story audio as you get to it? I want to walk and enjoy it, not walk and stare at my phone. Kind of wish I didnt spend the money on this...

Its pretty unreasonable to expect someone to drag their phone out of their pocket and keep checking it to see if theyve reached the next part of the story. Please add an autoplay option to make it continue the story when youve walked enough!

Im completely hooked. This is a really fun way to get yourself walking. Im out and about much more, just to unlock additional story segments. Ill be sorry when I get to the end.

A very fun app, it really motivates me to get out of the office and go for a lunchtime walk so I can find out what happens next in the story -and get some fresh air. I also alternate it with Zombies, Run! in the mornings.

Save your money, skip this app until its updated. I use the Zombies, Run app from the same company and was excited to try this app out too. Waste of time and money. If you have one of the newest iOS versions skip this app as it doesnt run well. The entire UI is super slow, it crashes, and does NOT play well with music players. Its a shame because the story seemed neat, but the app is almost unusably unresponsive.

Im about half-way through this and playing with my sister. This is great entertainment while you are out on a walk. The story has so many twists and turns. Ill be sorry when its done.

I played through The Walk once before about 2 years ago, and I would have easily given it 5 stars then. I had no problems with it aside from wishing that it would somehow be integrated with zombieslink or something online. But now, it is consistently refusing to track my minutes, even if I make sure it is at the forefront of my apps when I start walking. Some days it does fine. But too many days, like today, Ill go for a 30 minute walk and it doesnt count a single minute of it, but it pulls my steps from my pedometer. So now t is telling me that I walked over 3700 steps in 3 minutes. PLEASE fix this! Im trying to convince some work friends to get this and do it with me, but I dont want to advocate for a broken app!!

Will be sad when Ive finished the story, only hope they make the next app so I can keep on keeping on

Believe the nay sayers. The app is not what you think it is. This might be a great app for someone who is being pushed in a stroller or wheelchair. For anyone else it kind of negates the whole point of taking a walk. It doesnt like to track me -yes location tracking turned on. Please add music to game or let us integrate our music into the game. Stopping to look down at phone is awful and unsafe. Please make it have option to auto play story line. The Walk is an interesting concept. I will check back at a later date to see if improvements are made. I do not recommend this app in its current state.
