• Review: "Keeps crashing...I really wanted this app to work. And it did the first few times. Then it started crashing, and putting me 2,000 miles from where I was actually walking. I rebooted the iPhone, killed other apps. Nothing helped. By the way, my other GPS apps work fine. Glad I didn't buy the ad-free version."

• Review: "I walk a lot and I love the idea of this app, but it could use some improvements. When it gets bad GPS data, it just uses it and adds miles to my walk that aren't physically possible. The app needs to have a filter on bad data points. I've found I can get it to work if I enable the GPS at a corner, then disable it again, essentially creating my own filter, but that's just annoying."
