Review summary

Reviews consistently praise Deep Time Walk for its rich Earth-history content, engaging storytelling, and immersive walking-audio format that fosters reflection. Listeners highlight the writing, voice acting, and sound design as top-notch, with the experience offering emotional resonance and broad appeal. While a few users report minor issues (step-tracking reliability, an introductory poem some disliked, and a long opening) and some curiosity about certain graphics, the overall reception is highly positive and advocacy-driven.

Pros

Rich, informative overview of Earth's history that puts human history in perspective.
High-quality storytelling and production (writing, voice acting, and sound design).
Immersive walking-audio concept that combines education with a mindful stroll.
Emotionally impactful and thought-provoking; inspires awe and reflection.
Strong word-of-mouth appeal; many reviewers recommend it to friends.

2025-09-19	ev*****	If I could make a mandatory listening list for humans, this would be on it. It’s good for us to remember the incredibly long time the Earth has been here and all the different ways the Earth has been, and how short human history really is.

2021-02-15	La*****	I loved walking through time with this app, and I have recommended it to friends. But I had issues with the app registering my steps (mobility assist helped with that but would often switch itself off), and I really hated the poem at the beginning. I’m all in for renewable everything and I do think humans need to change how they use the earth, but that poem was the breast-beating hair-shirt-wearing self-flagellation style that really turns me off. And I nearly turned the app off because of it. I’m glad I stuck it through, but I do tell people to skip that bit. It’s like a concert beginning with crashing, clashing discord, then suddenly switching over to a calm and peaceful harmony for the duration. I also couldn’t find an explanation anywhere in the app or on their website for the graphic at the top of the app. The colors seem to represent something (oxygen levels, photosynthesis, who knows?), but I can’t figure out what. It’s really got me curious.

2019-08-23	ka*****	This was absolutely amazing. The writing, voice acting, and sound design are top notch and draw you in to the dramatic evolution of our universe. Find a nice nature trail and just let your mind wander.

2019-08-01	Bu*****	The intro is insufferably long. Condescending tone throughout. Walk the steps at the NYC natural history museum if you want a history-of-time experience. BTW, neither offers plausible insights into how DNA came into existence.
