★★★★★ "Disappointed but not too surprised. Used to be a fun way to keep track of miles. I got it for the first time a couple years back, and I enjoyed it and it motivated me to walk a bit more. I never had to pay for anything and it tracked however much miles I had walked that day. …" - A disappointed hobbit

Restore needed
I constantly have to restore the purchase and when I reached out to their customer service about it they just ignored me.
1 Mile Limit
It seems the free version is limited to tracking 1 mile per day. Be aware!
Meh
You apparently, at some point, reach a “step limit” and you cannot progress further unless you purchase the app. Was a fun premise up until that point.
Pay for progress?
I loved the idea of this app but the fact that you have to pay to track more than one mile a day is CRAZY. That just feels greedy.
Hiding behind a tree as a black rider passes
Am I confused or is this racist?
Subscription Required
I thought this would be a fun, free, nerdy app that would motivate me to walk more. Nope. Unless you buy their product (monthly subscription) it only tracks one mile per day. Don’t waste your money. Unless wasting money is your thing, then go for it, I guess.
Disappointed but not too surprised
Used to be a fun way to keep track of miles. I got it for the first time a couple years back, and I enjoyed it and it motivated me to walk a bit more. I never had to pay for anything and it tracked however much miles I had walked that day. It took me a long time, but I reached the end and forgot about it. I decided to get it again this year, cause I thought why not, just to find that theres a 1 mile limit, and you have to pay to track more than I mile. Doesn’t seem to be any new content either to warrant the need to charge for money. Disappointed but not surprised. Greed is getting to everyone these days I guess.
Mileage tracker is way off actually.
Love the idea but with my iPhone the actual miles I walk and the app records are highly inaccurate. Had to laugh 5 of us all did the same walk and the variance was 3/4 of a mile between the 5 of us from highest to lowest. I have notice I walk between 13.5-14 miles to get around 10 registered on the App. Oh well just keep walking .
Functional but boring af
Not worth $15 to be told “You pass a group of trees.” or “The path is rough and narrow.” every 10-20 miles. Not a great hike, not great Tolkien vibes… just not great. I have logged almost 300 miles on this app and regret the purchase.
Good but greedy
The basics work very well and are very fun, but they lock seeing anything about your friends without a subscription…
Wow
Cool concept but…. It only will track 1 mile a day unless you upgrade to premium? Thats insanely pathetic especially for what the app is overall. I’m probably going to uninstall. Adding more to my original post I kept it on to see if any additional content pops up. I’m 13 miles in and nothing. A better idea would be let the first 20 miles be free no matter how quickly they are achieved then block behind a paywall. I say this because if nothing happens between now and 20 miles it’s clearly a scam.
Cash grab Subscription
Can’t even look at friends miles without paying for a subscription - already had to pay extra for ultd miles in a day - just seems lazy, greedy
Pay to hike
I used to love this app. It was so fun to see how far I could go. Now, unless you pay, you are limited to only being allowed one mile a day. Takes all the fun out of it.
Tired of subscriptions
Cute app and I paid for the unlimited miles but then there ANOTHER paywall so I can share with my friends? The value for that additional unlock doesn’t seem worth it and I would expect it to already be included in what I paid for given what this app is.
Subscription apps and companies have gotten out of hand, and this app should not fall into that category for what it is and what you get.

Could be better
This app is fun but it would be better if it would sync with other apps like Strava, Garmin, or Apple Fitness. This app only tracks steps tracked by your phone, not your watch. It is pretty discouraging on that front.
Does not accurately record
Does not record my miles. Went for a 17 mile hike and it showed I walked 1.76 miles. Terrible. I would love it if it just actually recorded accurately
