User Reviews for Walkr - Gamified Fitness Walk

Addictive and helps change behavior

I absolutely love this game and have not found anything remotely as engaging and with such long term potential as Walkr. I have been running less in recent months due to an injury and decided to re-download this game and was happy to see quite a few nice updates. I’ve been encouraged by this game to get up and move significantly than I do on my own, and I can attribute that behavior change to partially being motivated to earn energy to contribute to the social aspects of the game and accelerate game progress. The only thing that really disappoints me about this game is the lack of device integration. I just got a Fitbit to track my activity when I don’t have my phone on me (which are my most active times of the day usually!) and I feel kind of cheated out of my effort. Being able to use my Fitbit to gain energy would for sure keep me much more invested in this game.

Brilliant mechanics, inspirational resource collection game

I’ve been playing Walkr nonstop since July 2017, and I have logged in every single day to play it. I’m an active person, so getting fit wasn’t the motivator for me. I got ahead quite easily in the early stages of the game by enjoying my normal lifestyle. The game is family-friendly and takes a simple concept to new depths.The premise of the game established early on is that, in the dreams of this young child, he and his dog explore the universe with a spaceship powered by a treadmill. That’s the only plot device. It’s not elaborated on much and that’s fine; it’s a nice touch for a Fitness-oriented app.The game works as your typical resource-collection game, however, energy (gained from walking) is used to expedite the processes, advance in Epics (social missions where you’re matchmade with multiple players) and, when eligible, assist Lab (in-game guilds) members with free upgrades to their planets to harvest more resources.The grind is endless, but such is Fitness in general. The pride I can show from being a long-term veteran of Walkr was surprisingly awesome and still is (shoutout to my fellow Captains). There is still strategy in spending resources wisely, and as such I’m engaged constantly.5 Stars. 10/10. Would (and have) recommend to anyone.

Great game!

***update***Taking the rating down because I tried to do the special fairytale epic, and accidentally forgot to switch the invite back to private before launching, and I’m a little mad that since the epic takes so long to finish (not something that I could control) that we didn’t end up getting the blueprint for the fairytale planet. If you’re going to do specials like this, you should at least let the people that started it on time get the reward. You know...given that the particular epic you had us do takes an excessive amount of resources and energy 😡The only reasons I'm giving 3 stars are basically the same reasons everyone else has given. Please, please make it to where I can sync my Fitbit to accurately record my steps/activity as I (like most people) don't always carry my phone everywhere with me! The second reason is that I do think it takes far too long to get to new planets, which, in turn makes it harder to find resources to do missions that are required to get into the higher level Epic adventures.

Good concept but!

I love the concept of this game, however it’s very frustrating if you actually have a Fitbit and no way to sync it with the game. The phone’s pedometer is nowhere near as accurate, and not only that but I’m sure there are many people who don’t take their phones literally every time they walk around. Many times I leave my phone put away while I am up and about. My Fitbit stays on all day, logging several thousand more steps than my phone. Even when I take my phone with me on long walks it only logs about 75% of my steps compared to the Fitbit. So I miss out on all that energy I could be using in this game. I would also like to have more use for the energy I do earn. You can use it to boost production but not to upgrade or explore more planets. So it’s not as useful as it sounds. It would be more motivating if our steps directly helped discover and upgrade planets instead of having to use it to get coins faster to then purchase upgrades with, as you can generate coins without doing anything at all as long as you come back to collect them. That’s not as motivating as if you *had* to expend energy to discover new planets. Overall it’s a cute little game and a great concept but not as helpful/motivating as it could be.

I like it too much but

I rarely write reviews but I am really enjoying this app and I adore it so far. I think it’s super cute, and a really great idea. However, I think I’m enjoying it a bit too much 😂 It is a little more time consuming than I expected, but luckily I recently made a goal to spend more time enjoying myself. One huge downside for me is the inability to use the steps counted by my smartwatch. The thing about being a woman is our pants often don’t have pockets, and on top of that, steps aren’t counted while the phone is charging. Consequently, I’m missing out on a WHOLE LOT of steps that aren’t being counted. Overall, I think it’s a cool concept and a fun app, but I’m retracting a star for my wasted steps. I’m hopeful the developers are able to receive an opportunity for adding the ability to read from other step counting apps, because that would make this app just perfect 👌🏼

Two Years of Entertainment - 5 Stars

I have been playing Walkr for the last two years. As other reviewers have noted, there is something about this game that keeps me coming back every day. I don't play many games on my phone and when I do I get bored after a few days. But Walkr is different. It uses your phone's built in step tracker and adds energy to your pool to use in the game. This energy is a sort of currency, so you're rewarded for being more active. Such a simple idea but I can't think of another app like it. I love this app and will continue to play as long as I can. That being said I do feel it necessary to call for more updates from the developer--specifically more updates that add planets. I know there are many loyal users who are stuck and out of things to do in the app besides the daily chores. I truly enjoy this app and hope it gets the attention it deserves.While I have made purchases in the app I have not yet subscribed to the new monthly subscription service. I hope that the additional revenue can fund the much needed development required to keep older users engaged.edited for spelling.

Super great!! But currently glitchy....

I love this game, and honestly it is one of the very few apps that I use daily. However, after downloading their most recent update, the game has become glitchy to a point that it has become nearly impossible to play. It freezes within a few moments of opening, and doesn't unlock unless you reboot it. At that point, the cycle begins again, with mere seconds to get things accomplished before the game freezes yet again. It hasn't always been this bad, so I look forward to a speedy solution from the developers to make this game fun--rather than laborious--once again in the near future!! (Also, it'd be cool if there were somewhere within the app or elsewhere to report issues like this, rather than for the world to see in an app store rating. Or if there is a place, make it not so hard to find! I searched the website AND the app.) (Also, you can delete my rating after the issue is fixed please, thanks!)

Pretty good

**Walkr my app with 60 planets has been crashing if I try to scroll through every planet for feeding or happy time bonuses**Review:I was looking for a game that would encourage me to walk more, and I liked the sound of this one and never looked back. Have been playing for five months and have explored almost half the planets. Each planet explored takes a little longer than before; it takes five days now. Energy/steps is not the only currency in the game, so you are not penalized for not walking as much. More energy gives you a boost for coins or food or time depending on how you use it. There is also group missions to earn special planets or cubes which keep you engaged in addition to feeding planets. There are daily gifts, and daily ads now which eventually get you gifts. There’s more too. If you want details during gameplay, look at the FourDesire FAQ/help for general questions, and look at walkr wiki for more complete and up to date lists. There’s also a sub reddit that has a lot of fan Q&A, and the walkr Facebook page describes major updates.

Genius

I’ve used Walkr for a few years now. Something about the app still keeps me checking it every single day. They’ve made it so that feeling of accomplishment when I hit 10k steps never gets old. They’ve also continually added updates—the pedometer function works great, every now and then we’ll get new adorable planets, and they’ve added interesting activities like epics and labs. The little additions that make you feel heard and show you that they keep on trying :) I love the app and I really don’t have any complaints, BUT if I could request one thing, I would absolutely advocate for fitbit compatibility...! :D (Hi! I know you guys take our reviews pretty seriously! Pretty please??) This has seriously been the only reason I have not gotten a fitbit and for a half second even considered getting an Apple watch. I love the fitbit features more though and am really hoping fitbit compatibility will be incorporated soon! Until then, here’s to holding my phone while walking and running :) Please and thanks!!

If you get this game, you’re in for the long run

Honestly, I’m gonna keep this short. This game is an extremely fun game to explore. Discovering a new planet and trying to upgrade hen to their final level is rewarding and fun, but it takes a very long time. It can take a week to just discover a new planet (when you’re later in the game), and getting the money to upgrade one would take a while too. This is in no way a negative, it’s just not for everyone. If you want a fast paced game this isn’t it, but if you want a game you can invest yourself in, this may be it. The only negatives I have is that I think there are some very simple and easy fixes that could be done to make very tedious tasks simpler, such as having a collect all money button instead of having to swipe through all your planets and collecting the money manually. With very simple fixes like the one above I would consider this a perfect game for what it’s trying to achieve
