Description
"Ground Miles - walking your way to health and wellbeing"
Free and simple to use, Ground Miles is designed to encourage and support you to walk more. Powered by health expertise from Bupa, Ground Miles will help you get walking whether you walk to look good, feel great, or just to get outdoors. Ground Miles turns your smartphone into your very own personal walking tracker, featuring:
Track your activity - Track your indoor and outdoor walking - your distance and also your pace across two simple levels: walk and run - Track your daily, weekly and total walking distances in miles or kilometres
Earn badges - Get walking to earn visible and surprise badges as you reach your goals (and burn calories!) - New Ground Miles badges* are added regularly, including unique badges for the casual walker, the early morning riser, and those who walk in their local park. *Some badges require GPS
Walk together and stay social - Join or create virtual walking groups with friends or family anywhere in the world and see your collective miles accumulate - Share your badges and walking milestones with friends via social media including Facebook and Twitter
Tailor and monitor your walking goals - Set your own daily or weekly goals - Use the interactive in-App map, using your phone's native map functionality, to see where you could walk to reach your goal - Receive personalised motivation cards based on your walking routine
Personalise your experience - Enter your age, height, weight, gender and step length for a more personalised experience (but not required before you get going) - Personalise your Ground Miles app background by using your favourite photo - or add any amazing sights you see while walking

*Due to device and OS compatibility issues with running the accelerometer in the background, this app will only work on OS 4.0 and above.
Recent changes: The big news in this release is that we've made it simpler for you to understand how your daily activity is split between walking and running as there are now just 2 segments - Walk & Run.
We’ve also addressed several other issues, including: -Improved sync so that data is sent to the server more regularly -Fixing an issue where My Activity for Today was deleted

Nice app It does what it says it will do, its working great too.
★★★★★
Good app I liked the app, but it would be better if you could import the data from the pedometer that comes as standard with most phones. I say this because I set myself a target over a month ago and I'm over 200 miles into it. Until this function appears I'll stick to my excel spreadsheet
★★★★★
Prevents phone from deep sleep but quite clever Good but prevents the phone from entering deep sleep so wastes battery
★★★★★
Love it Even we walk at home ..we know how much we walk...its good...and I like it...
★★☆☆☆
Errrrm "Walk to the edge of your circle". What circle? I also apparently ran a mile and walked 2 miles when I'd only walked. I don't get it? I get what Bupa are trying to do but needs way more work before it's ready.
★★☆☆☆
Battery draining and inaccurate I had apparently done 0.20 miles walking from the bedroom to the bathroom.... I don't live in a mansion! Also after 7 hours of use ie getting to work and sitting at my desk for 4 of those hours it has drained 30% of my battery (from android battery usage breakdown). I've uninstalled as at this rate I won't have any battery to go home with. Disappointing as I liked the look of the breakdowns of different levels of activity.
★★☆☆☆
More steps than I have walked. This app has potential and could be very good. However it seems to be adding more steps than I have done. I have run it with S Health app and it is currently 1300 more than that.
