About this app

The Japanese Walking method is a way to get the most benefit from your daily walk. Studies have shown that people who Japanese Walk have greater health outcomes compared to people who simply walk. A 30 minute Japanese Interval Walk has been shown to be more beneficial than getting your 10,000 steps per day.

To Japanese Walk you need to walk as fast as possible for 3 minutes and then walk slowly for 3 minutes. Repeat this 10 times.

How does this app help? It's a timer. It gives you a notification when you need to speed up or slow down. No need to keep looking at the phone, press the button and get walking.

This app can also give you a reminder of a time to walk. You set this, we will never send you a notification you didn’t ask for.

Japanese Walking has an achievement system to help keep you motivated on your health journey.

Modern app design. Choose from light mode or dark mode. You can even change the app colour (if red isn’t your favourite).

This app takes your privacy very seriously. All the data entered into the app is stored on your device. We couldn’t sell your information even if we wanted to. The app does track app usage data, this is limited to what City you are in and what pages you have looked at. This is optional and can be turned off at any time.

Or a quick summary

- Notifies you to speed up or slow down

- Reminds you to walk
- Gives you achievements for meeting the goals.
- Keeps your data private.

Great waking app but could be better. I've recently started Japanese Walking and this was the only app that easily allowed me to easily setup 3 minute notifications to swap from slow to fast walking. It would be nice if the notification sound could be changed for the app specifically as it's hard to hear whilst the phone is in my back pocket or jacket pocket, even when my phone notification is 100%. I've not tried with a Bluetooth headset, but presumably this would resolve the issue.

Straightforward! Work as intended. What I don't like is it wont prevent the screen from turning off. My phone dont have stay on screen option so its a bit annoying to tapping it to avoid the screen from going black/dark.

Just downloaded, seems to be good. But, there has to be an option for warm up before actual slow and fast walking is started. It also should be included in the timer.
