## Description

Walkmeter GPS turns your iPhone into a complete fitness computer for walkers and hikers. It works with iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and iCloud to deliver maps, graphs, splits, intervals, laps, zones, and training plans - accessible from your wrist or pocket.

Core features include multi-activity tracking (walking, running, cycling, hiking, skiing, kayaking), voice-enabled announcements via Siri, live tracking with optional sharing, HealthKit and calendar exports, and easy data export in GPX, TCX, and FIT formats.

## Review summary

Walkmeter is a feature-rich walking/hiking tracker that many users praise for versatility, ease of use, and long-term tracking. It supports routes, sensors, GPS/elevation, and syncing with Strava and Bluetooth devices. However, users cite intrusive ads and upgrade prompts, a shift to paid subscriptions, reliability glitches in distance/time and maps, and awkward UI changes with sparse instructions. Overall, it remains valuable for power users but can be frustrating for those seeking a simpler, ad-free experience.

### Pros

- Simple and intuitive to use while remaining powerful.
- Motivates users to walk and tracks long-term mileage across years.
- Clear data visualization and route/maps for real-time stats.
- Long-standing, well-established app with ongoing development and cross-region use.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and upgrade prompts interrupt usage with full-screen ads, banners, and frequent upgrade notices.
- Move to paid subscriptions / upsell; features now require payment or a subscription.
- Reliability issues: inconsistent distance/time tracking, mileage readings off, and occasional map or tracking stalls.
- Unwanted UI changes and lack of clear usage instructions.
