Best milage tracker
Hands down the best tracker for overall milage I’ve found. As someone who walks A LOT for a living this is a good way of keeping motivated and seeing progress.
Have some recommendations
I really like the idea behind this, but I wish it only kept my step count for when I’m purposely trying to be active. Not constantly counting my steps. I got this app so that it would motivate me to go on more walks, but if it’s constantly tracking every step I feel like it takes the joy and challenge of trying to get to the end. Basically, you’ll reach the end regardless. If it only tracked for actual active steps (when in exercising) then it would be better in my opinion.
cool but
cool app but It would be nice to have a character selection, not just one. We don't know is that a guy or a woman.
Won’t load
As soon as I open it, the music starts and then it says Blazing the Trail with that little circle of death spinning round and round and nothing happens. I’m really excited to use it. Any advice? It’s a super cute concept though! Really hoping I can get this running!
Incredible!!
I love this app! It’s so cool and satisfying using the steps throughout the day to travel the world! The only thing I wish is a clear way to change completed routes to new ones without deleting previous progress.
Pure Magic
Thanks a lot. Whatever occasion it is, whatever time it is - when I open this app, hear this music and read the locations I’ve “been through” - I just feel great.
The Cutest App Ever!
Love that it visualizes my steps into a hiking map. Every day I’m excited to see my progress!
Cute and Simple
Love this app so much! Completely free, very simple to use, such cute graphics and the concept is great. I specifically love the widgets, especially the one that shows your steps for the day, which keeps me motivated.
Awesome!
Absolutely love this app. It scratches my itch to explore the world while I’m at home. The art style and music are great. I’d love to see all types of adventures added. Things like city walks, rainforest expeditions, famous pilgrimages, and other iconic routes around the world.
i love this app
great app
What a gem!
I was just browsing the App Store for a fun walking app and came across Thru: Virtual Hiking, wow what a pleasant surprise. A beautifully designed piece of software that makes me so happy that I have an iPhone. Thank you!
Cutest
The cutest little app! Haven’t enjoyed one like this in awhile. If possible - could you add a description on how to get the widget to load when first installed? I had to find it on threads (unless it’s automating in an update soon)
Translation
Is it planned to add the Russian language?
