User Reviews

Strut is praised for its map-based concept that lets you see where you've been and unlock travel tiles, which motivates road trips and exploration and can be used offline. Users appreciate the long-standing, low-friction idea and the offline tile collection. However, chronic issues hamper its appeal: heavy battery drain and phone heating from GPS, unreliable background tracking and frequent crashes, and persistent data-sync problems that cause missing tiles or stalled progress. A number of users also lament lack of updates and slow or absent developer support. Overall, it's a rewarding concept plagued by stability and persistence issues.

Pros

See where you've been and unlock travel tiles, creating a tangible record of your travels.
Encourages exploration, road trips, and discovering new places, often with family or friends joining in.
Works offline: you can collect tiles without cellular data and upload later.
Simple, map-based concept with light, non-competitive gamification.
Long-running app that many users keep on their home screen.

Cons

Heavy battery drain and phone heating due to continuous GPS tracking.
Unreliable background tracking and frequent crashes, causing tiles to be missed or not recorded.
Persistent data-sync problems and missing or stalled tiles after transfers or over time.
Lack of updates and slow or absent developer support, leading some to consider the app abandoned.

App is absolutely incredible and in the ultimate method of tracking areas where you explore (better than linear distance like Wandrer.earth and non-tiled apps like Fog of World, which permits weird micro gaps). Unfortunately draws incredible amounts of battery power though.

I really enjoy seeing where I have been and unlocking new tiles, being able to show everywhere I have driven is cool. Makes me want to explore my area and go on road trips.

Reminds me of the polish and pizazz of Advance Wars: Dual Strike, only with (necessarily) better resolution and no real competitive premise other than "have your phone on and go for a hike or ride vehicles for a day, and you will eventually have done that more than some other people who have also downloaded the app." Still, it's very well executed, and probably harmless as long as you can keep your phone charged. Sort of a fun "why not" toy to have, especially if games like CodeRunner and Paraversume are too distracting or involved for you. I noticed that most of the tiles unlocked in my town were done in straight lines that seemed to cross the whole place without turning, and I wonder if that's from spoofers or people riding aircraft. I guess you can't really do anything about the former without joining the (futile) arms race against spoofers. UPDATE: Someone ruined the ability to sign in using Facebook, which seems like a boneheaded maneuver. Logging in with Facebook isn’t the same thing as engaging with a billion fascists on Facebook. It was chiefly useful as a tool for logging into games. Not sure why fewer and fewer games allow it, or why none of them offer a reasonable or practical alternative, but i have to assume that it’s a reversible mistake, so Thickpolicy should reverse theirs as soon as they can. UPDATE, FEBRUARY 2026: The app crashes more than it works. A patch note from three months ago says this was addressed, but either the solution instantly undid itself or this is a lie. I really don’t want to uninstall something I’ve been using for such a long time, that I began within days of a life milestone I don’t want to honor any less, especially if the developers are still paying attention to it (at least inasmuch as they still exist enough to say they’re paying attention to it).
