Comments on Walk the Distance for Android

★★★★☆ Bryan Henry · May 19, 2026
I love this app. I would make the suggestion of having a leaderboard of people that started a walk around the same time you did
★★★★★ Kahji Dovej · Nov 5, 2023
Update: After receiving a message from the developer, I decided to try and work it again. Something about the way the app is set up means it won't count the steps. Simply disconnect and reconnect Google Fit, and your progress should be there.
★★★★☆ Anna Cavender · Sep 6, 2022
I love this app, it makes running and walking very motivating. My only wish is for the ability to set goals in the app.
★★★★★ Nicole Sosa · Jul 21, 2024
I absolutely love this app I always make sure to tag it when I post on social media is I love that I can see others along the trail is there anything in the works for it to ever add a social aspect, so we can add each other for encouragement and friendly completion it would be great to meet friends along our journey sorry if this has been asked already
★☆☆☆☆ Nicole · Oct 12, 2024
Recorded my workouts/steps for the first 2 days but day 3 didn't populate miles or be recorded until I started again the next week. This next week I have exercised 3 more times and no miles recorded on the trail but when I look at history it says 5 more miles total but only shows the first 3 days totals respectively under that. I use the built-in pedometer and can't add miles through settings without the option shown to me. Emailed support didn't hear back yet within 24 hrs.
★★☆☆☆ Stewart Collins · Aug 1, 2024
Looks like a cool app, especially with the Camino do Santiago. Unfortunately it does not connect with Google Fit (says Google has not verified the app) and I don't have a Fitbit or Garmin.

Description by Virtual Walk LLC Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Walking step challenges on real famous trails. Walk the Distance turns your everyday steps into an adventure on 20+ iconic hiking trails — from the Appalachian Trail to the Pacific Crest Trail, Camino de Santiago, and beyond. No treadmill or special device needed — just walk, and watch your progress come to life on a real trail map.

WALK ICONIC TRAILS
• Appalachian Trail (2,190 miles)
• Pacific Crest Trail (2,650 miles)
• Continental Divide Trail (3,100 miles)
• John Muir Trail
• Camino de Santiago
• Marathons, city walks, and national park routes

STEP CHALLENGES THAT KEEP YOU MOVING
Works with Samsung Health, Fitbit, and Garmin — no extra hardware required for Samsung Health users. Every step counts, whether you're walking the dog, commuting, or hitting the trails. Your steps sync so you earn progress on the trail.

STAY MOTIVATED WITH CHECKPOINTS
Unlock real waypoints as you progress — trail shelters, scenic overlooks, and landmarks. Each checkpoint keeps you moving toward the next milestone.

WALK WITH FRIENDS & COMPETE
Add friends and walk the same trail together. See who's ahead on the leaderboard, get notified when someone passes you, and join group step challenges to stay accountable.

BUILT FOR YOUR HEALTH & FITNESS GOALS
Whether you want to lose weight, build a daily walking habit, burn more calories, or just get moving — step challenges on famous trails make fitness fun and meaningful.

CORPORATE WELLNESS
Companies use Walk the Distance for employee step challenges with team leaderboards and admin dashboards. Tap "Send to HR" to get your workplace started.

SET IT AND FORGET IT
The app runs quietly in the background, pulling your walking and running distance automatically. When you reach a checkpoint or a friend passes you, you'll get a notification.

BETTER THAN A PEDOMETER
A pedometer counts steps — Walk the Distance gives them meaning. Step challenges on real trails turn your daily walking into an adventure. Whether you're training for a marathon, building a daily exercise routine, or looking for a fun walking challenge, tracking your miles on real trails keeps you motivated every step of the way.
