★★★★★ "Before I pay for something I like to get a taste of what it's about. Looking at this app I know alot of the local walks and alot of them aren't on here, just the more popular touristy walks, so don't think I'll commit to this." - Ruby Fall

★★★★★ "Too expensive especially as it a subscription only. Need to be a one off fee and that's it. Plenty of free apps and walking books which are cheaper. Sorry WON'T BE SIGINING UP FOR OVERPRICED APP CHARGING MODEL." - Juxty

Not worth the price
Too expensive especially as it a subscription only. Need to be a one off fee and that's it. Plenty of free apps and walking books which are cheaper. Sorry WON'T BE SIGINING UP FOR OVERPRICED APP CHARGING MODEL.
Before I pay for something I like to get a taste of what it's about. Looking at this app I know alot of the local walks and alot of them aren't on here, just the more popular touristy walks, so don't think I'll commit to this.
Not enough walks to justify the price. There are books available, for less money, with more routes. Everyone has GPS on their phones so all this app needs to do is provide interesting routes. Not worth it. Uninstalled.
Pay for walks the app owner would have compiled from free sources? I must be old but what is the world coming too. Nope
Please consider changing the model to a one off fee. I would much rather pay about a fiver to use the app for the foreseeable but you are putting off lots of customers with the pricing structure
You need to sign up for a subscription before you can even try a route
Disappointing, pushed to download the app via the website to get more information about the walks. There was no mention that it was a paid for app with no functionality unless you pay.
Unable to access any walks without subscribing, with a 'free trial' requiring payment details ... poor
Unable to subscribe. As its asking for a payment password, but my password for what ? Shame it looked pretty good.
Disappointing
You cannot view any maps or get any details without paying a subscription
Meh. I wouldn't mind paying for the app as a one off but I don't do monthly subs. Seems very odd for this sort of thing.
Have to sign up to a subscription just to try. Not worth it to many free apps available
Publicity for this app kept appearing on my Facebook page and I was looking forward to it, but there aren't enough walks to warrent the subscription when I already have an OS subscription. Thanks but no thanks.
