Description
ResQwalk is a free mobile app that enables you to raise resources for animal welfare organizations, simply by walking.
At the beginning of each month, ResQwalk puts together a ResQpool that includes cash and product contributions from corporate sponsors.
In order to earn part of the pool, simply pick your favorite ResQpartner, start the app, and go for a walk, run or participate in any other outdoor activity that can be measured by GPS and involves a speed of less than 14 mph. At the end of every month, the ResQpool is proportionally distributed amongst the animal welfare organizations on the app.
Please note: continued use of GPS running in the background may significantly decrease battery life.

Messed up somehow This app was good at one time. Now, I cannot load any photos to my walk or to my profile page. It also does not keep accurate stats on my Android phone or on my wife's Android. I have contacted the app's creator but nothing has been done. We have friends with the same issues. I have installed and uninstalled it numerous times but that does not make any difference. Disappointing.

Disappointed. Was so excited to be helping out local animal rescues but right before my first walk this app stopped working. Won't let me log in. Doesn't recognize my email. Very sad since the concept is such a great one.

Can't log back in Edit: So, today it works, but it's gonna be really annoying if it does that every month or so. Today the app just completely messed up! It worked fine the last 2 months. It deleted all my pictures and my miles. So I uninstalled the app and then installed it again. Now it's telling me my email is not associated to a ResQwalk account! I'm really disappointed cuz I love this app :(

I was excited to finally have this app available for Android. I was sadly disappointed from the first use! GPS tracking is haphazard. Worse, the mileage walked is always severely off, about 2/3rds of the actual mileage walked. That means my charity gets only 2/3rds of the earned donation! Frustrating to know walkers and rescues are both cheated. *** Oct 2014 - update is worse! Now only logging about 1/3 of the actual mileage. ***2016 upgraded rating - tracking is much improved and fairly accurate, good for a simple walk/donate program.

Glitchy now. Been using all along and worked great. Now suddenly it can't find my user name or password. Won't load any of my previous activity. I've Uninstalled and reinstalled and still the same..can't log in. States there is an error with my credentials?????

I can't get it to show the sponsor, it just shows nothing and when I post it to FB, it just thanks null as the sponsor. Generic responses from the site, none of that is helpful at all. Wake up people, not going to waste my time on an app that doesn't work.
This was a great app but unfortunately I'm no longer able to use it because I closed down my Facebook and there's no other way for me to log in. I was using the app daily, have all my photos, walk log, friends, etc there and would like to be able to use it again. Emailed tech support for help or suggestions and got no reply (reading the other reviews that seems to be a common complaint). Very disappointing for an app I used to actively promote.
Doesn't track accurately anymore I absolutely love the ap up until recently but now the app doesn't track accurately anymore it says I walked .67km but Google Fit and Garmin say 6.5 and they use GPS on my device too. Emailed support with screenshots but haven't heard back as of yet.
Suggestion Make this useable with fit bits/trackers. I don't want to have to log into the app and use my data with the GPS every time I go for a walk when I have a fit bit
Right now, there are no corporate sponsors and no money is being donated. Great app, but your tracking isn't going to anything currently. I am sad that there wasn't a user alert regarding this.
Was great for the longest time, but now won't upload my pictures on Facebook. Sent email to them, but no response. Hard to recommend, if app isn't working properly. The frustrating thing is, that this app is for a good cause. Helping animals!
Not working I have used this app for a long time today wont let me in keeps saying invalid email or password very frustrating.
It is good for navigation on your walk though and for knowing what you did, but I would like to see the charity get credit. There seems to be no sponsor now, so no payout and no communication.
Cool idea.... if it worked Went for a walk downtown for about an hour and a half should I only watch 0.03 of a kilometer. Please fix this problem
Liked App Until Today. - Customer Service SUCKS Great way to earn $ for charity, however today the app stopped working and NO ONE is responding to complaints. Would like to know if it is being fixed.
Incorrect miles Very upset that the app did not track my miles correctly. I tracked my miles on my Garmin, 3.2, but the app only tracked 0.89. That's not even close. Please fix this issue.
I still use it to tell how far the dog and I go per day, but it's been months since I've been "sponsored". Is it only now good for US destinations or something? It used to be so great to know that we were walking and also supporting our local shelter.
I had been using this app for a while, then it no longer worked but I was able to reinstall it and now for the last several months it won't reinstall. I've written to ResQWalk and they just answered with a general message. Very unhappy as I would like my organization to get some financial help. I'm stuck with no help whatsoever.
Love this app! Works great 99.9% of the time! Love it....would love it if it could connect to other social media so I could invite friends!
I love this app! What a wonderful opportunity to support our favorite rescues for free through every day walks! I wish more people utilized this that went on walks regularly. The miles add up and you can help so many furry babies! Thank you ResQwalk 😊
Loved it until mid-May 2017. Hasn't showed a sponsor since then. Local friends still have sponsors on theirs. Tried uninstalling & reinstalling, still no sponsor. Not worth bothering with the app if no one gets credit. I don't use the community, so can't comment on that.
The app works well, but I do not believe that the organisation is still operational as it's not showing any payouts, or any sponsors. They haven't replied to either email or Facebook message. I'll change my rating if and when the situaron changes.
Lately the pauses itself very soon after I start walking so it only records maybe 0.25 for every mile walked. Very frustrating and not worth bothering with if it isn't fixed.
The amount of data this app has chewed up compared to how much money actually gets donated is RIDICULOUS. I could donate more from my overages that this app has cost me.
Trouble It won't let me log in with my Facebook or regularly
Great idea and implementation It does a great job tracking you and your team, and allows you to share your photos. Love it!
Somehow it reset itself. Won't let me login or create new account. Frustrating
No longer works I use this app for months, now it's like I no longer exist. My email, Twitter, FB logons, nothing works. FIX this!!!
Loved the app The app worked great, until now. All my pictures and walks are gone and says my email is not associated with account. What happened?
Cannot post to Facebook anymore Loved posting to Facebook to raise awareness of this awesome app, but I can no longer do that. Please fix!! I love this app!!
love it, just start to use it today. from now on everytime i walk my dog, i also do good deeds. really greats app 👍
Can't create account. New user, won't let me create with either Facebook or manually.
Cannot post pictures or kilometers walked to Facebook. Please fix
