About Walk With Friends!
Welcome to Walk With Friends!
What We Do:
At Walk With Friends!, we utilize your real-world walking data from Apple Health to create exciting virtual adventures anywhere in the world using Apple's map data. As you walk in your daily life, our app translates your footsteps into a virtual journey.
How It Works:
Imagine this: you decide to embark on a virtual walk from LA to Las Vegas. You invite friends to join you, even if they're far away from those locations. Every step you take in your real location contributes to this virtual walk. Our app tracks your progress and that of your friends, marking your virtual journey with map pins. Who will reach the destination first?
Important Note:
Please understand that Walk With Friends! is not a navigation app. It won't guide you with directions.
Privacy First:
We prioritize your privacy. We only share the miles you've walked along the virtual route with your walking friends. Your actual location is never shared, and your health data remains private.
Key Features:
• Track your virtual progress with friends or walk solo.
• Display walking information from Apple Health data.
• Create and invite friends to a virtual route with ease.
• No location data is used or shared
• Get a surprise upon route completion.
• View the past seven days of daily walking information, independent of route data.
Permissions:
To function properly, Walk With Friends! requires access to three data points from Apple Health: steps, flights, and distance.
Motivation:
Start as a turtle, finish as a rabbit – our app inspires you to keep moving!
Lace up your shoes and step into a world of virtual adventures with Walk With Friends!
Full sneakers ahead!

EveryThing!
Completely rewritten! Every line of code is new.
New look!
The concept is the same as it was which is explained in the App description.
Works much better than previous version.
Unlike previous versions a route is required before you can see daily walking stats.

Complete under the hood improvements!
28 beta versions and 6 months of time taken to throughly test with beta users across multiple states
Far superior to previous version in all ways!
Smoother and easier to invite friends.
Please let me know (via App Setting) any feedback you may have. I am a one person operation not a huge company.
Enjoy!
Don't forget to Tip the developer!
