Walkmeter Walking & Hiking GPS App Reviews

I downloaded Walkmeter a month or so ago and was very pleased with it so I paid for Elite. However, yesterday I tried to play music in the background on my iPad and the app would not permit it and kept repeating time, distance speed etc. Earlier this year I walked 1100 kms in 50 days using another app that permitted music and I can tell you that when you walk alone for 5-6 hours a day music is essential not just a “nice to have" addition. I am sure you can change this but if not I will have to return to the other app as I am walking again in 2016. For this omission I can only rate this OK, 3 star, but it is the most comprehensive app I have used.

I wrote a review some months ago but had no response. I would have given 5 stars but I am unable to play music in the background when using this app. Having walked 1000 kms last year, much of it on my own, I can assure you that music is very important. I now use another app where I can play music. I will return to Walkmeter once you tell me that I can play music while I walk. Thank you. It is a wonderful app with, for me, a serious omission.

This is by far the best app Ive ever used. If all you do is walk, then this app is the best App for you. It is, as far as Im concerned the only things you need

Love that you can personalize announcements, and choose to walk for time or distance. Only quibble - the GPS isnt always reliable (but I am walking in hills with trees). Very happy with the app.

Great app. I use this app to keep track of my walks and biking activities and finally got a chance to use it for downhill skiing. I am very pleased, it works great.

This app got me in shape. For a year it tracked my walking and motivated me well. Then 1.5 years ago i got on the bike and its been the best bike computer ive used. This is a mature app (v10 now), and its come a long way through some rough and buggy patches, but the support has been great and the last few versions have been fantastic at fixing my issues with it. Those complaining about gps, remember that walkmeter does not control the gps but apple does. Walkmeter did their part by adding gps data smoothing. Yes, its a complex app with too many bells and whistles but it covers what you need and then some.

I use this app 3-4 times a week and it is great. Very accurate and easy to use

A really good app that keeps me motivated every day, clear, easy to use. The one thing it really needs is integration with the Pebble Smart Watch! Are there plans to add this? Another walking app has this already but Id truly prefer to stay with WalkMeter.

Does exactly what it says it will. Easy to use.

Im retired and love this app to track my biking and walking activity.

This is a great app because it motivates me to get out there and walk. I live close to a river so I find it interesting to review my routes on Google Maps or Google Earth. The app is very easy to use and provides me with all the information I want: Minimum speed Average speed Maximum speed Time walked Route traveled Well worth the purchase price!

I always loved this app. However, I just bought Elite version and got disappointed that the pedometer section is so simple. There need to be more features there like distance in km for example and remembering weather information on that day. Add more features there that you have for other activities already.

Good app to track results. Would like to see position also show on map

I absolutely love it!

Walkmeter is fantastic and the support team deserves a 10 Diamond rating.

Great functionality. Easy to use! A little addictive.

Great improvements. Love this app. Keeps track of everything I want and more. Saves my routes so I can improve my times. Use it for walking, running and biking.

I use this app in conjunction with a heart monitor. I find it gives all the info and graphs I require for my cycle commutes and walking exercises. Our family doctor also found the info I print out to be useful when I get my exams.

The ads promise the sun, moon and stars. Record running, walking, cycling etc. the one thing it doesnt do is count steps even though the ads lead one to believe it does. Thats all I wanted it for. Fool that I am.

Does everything I want from running, cycling and even 7-minute routine. Uploads to MyFitness Pal and nearly everything can be customized. BTW it does count steps - they show up when you finish the relevant activity and press Done. Agree it would probably be better if it had a dedicated display of the step count.
