Description

This app is the companion to Walker Tracker, a highly customizable walking challenge site for corporations, municipalities, and educational institutions. Use the Walker Tracker app to log steps with a manual pedometer or view your data from a connected wireless device. We integrate with nearly all: Fitbit, Moves app, Google Fit, Garmin, Fitbit, Misfit, Jawbone, Withings, etc. (note: These devices must be turned on in your program to connect them).

Check in on your competitions, give points to friends, convert activities and participate in the discussion.

NOTE: Because of the way the Google API works, the steps we pull from the Google Fit API might be slightly different than those in the Google Fit app, and include other motion data such as bicycling.

I was using the weather channel app which is totally inaccurate this one is accurate and I enjoy the wonderful photographs that are on the front page.

Crash city. Samsung Galaxy S5. Trying to add a bike ride where my garmin won't submit the steps and it will crash every time.

Jim Miller

Won't sync, doesn't display data, basically a worthless app taking up space on my phone! It worked for a while during a competition but hasn't worked since that competition ended!!

Jim Mullen

App worked well in 2016. Now, I get "Login failed" even though the same credentials work on their website. Update: Got a prompt email on 5/26/17 from WT support in response to this review asking me to contact them via email. I replied on 5/27/17 with details of the issue. Feeling positive given their quick response. Will update review as I get more info. Update: I got a response from support on 5/29/17 (after the holiday weekend). They were able to quickly find and fix the issue and I'm able to login again.

It never has the same steps as my Google fit says. Synced needs to be better.

Diane Smith

Apparently the only way it tracks steps is if you have a fitbit and it can take the steps from that. The "built in" pedometer doesn't count them, or if it does, I guess I must be flying instead of walking since I register zero steps. Uninstalling. Since I have to input my steps to the walk site, I'll at least count them with an app that works.

Hi Timothy - We fixed a large number of outstanding issues and released a new version today. If you could give us another try we'd appreciate it. Thanks! And we're happy to help at support@walkertracker.com

Walker Tracker June 16, 2017

Hi Jim - thanks for your feedback. We released a new version today that might resolve your issues. That said, you might check to see if your program ended (in which case you'd want to speak with your administrator). Feel free to drop us a note at support@walkertracker.com

Hi Jim - Sorry to hear that - we'd be happy to help troubleshoot that with you or to reset your password. Can we lend a hand? Try us at support@walkertracker.com

Hi Diane - Walker Tracker doesn't have a built-in pedometer. It does integrate with Google Fit, if your phone has a built-in pedometer, or with the Moves App (which you can download on Google Play). We also integrate with Garmin, Withings, Fitbit, Misfit, Microsoft bands and a few others. We're happy to help at support@walkertracker.com - Thanks!

Mari Foster April 17, 2017

I have been trying to upload my picture. I can't get any information on my phone.... and I have downloaded this app twice

Luke Day April 15, 2017

Errors out and not same functionality of website.

Walker Tracker April 15, 2017

Hi Luke - we have a new release imminent with the ability to search for friends and connect devices. Would you mind letting us know what is erroring out for you? We'll see if we can fix it in the build. Thanks.

Bre Garcia June 2, 2017

Won't load steps S8+ Keeps saying error. Won't sync.

Marilyn Tims June 8, 2017

It stopped working.

Walker Tracker June 16, 2017

Hi Marilyn - We released a new version today that fixed a number of outstanding issues. You might check to see if your issues are resolved. Otherwise, we're happy to help at support@walkertracker.com Thanks

Katieh Brooks April 28, 2017

Seems like the app has great potential, but it will not sync...

Keshia May April 14, 2017

Syncing is terrible.

Todd Westby March 6, 2017

Try creating an account with accidentally hitting enter and the app cannot handle it. Worst app ever for just creating an account. First page asks for a company link and it will not accept anything?? The worst thing about it is our company develops software and apparently they don't ever watch first time users to see where all the confusion is. I gave up on the app and was really looking g forward to using it for all our employees.

Kimberly Ballen February 15, 2017

This app keeps deducting my total steps. One time I had 112,000, the next day I had 100,000. My team members are also loosening steps. We work hard as a team and we should not be loosing our total steps. Y'all to fix this with a quickness. I'm tired of loosing steps. Thank you!

Apathetic Loser January 31, 2017

App is always a couple hundred steps short of what my pebble watch reports (600 steps yesterday), and that toast pop-up that comes up every time the app is launched, and then sticks around even after closing the app is irritating.

Walker Tracker March 3, 2017

Hi - thanks for your feedback. Just wanted to let you know we released a new version with a number of issues fixed (including the toast pop-up).

Anissa Rowe February 28, 2017

It won't let me login using the account I've always had even though it is accurate and I've even updated my password on the actual site for my organization's challenge.

Walker Tracker March 1, 2017

Hi Anissa - sorry to hear about the password issues. We'd love to help troubleshoot that with you. Would you be willing to reach out to support@walkertracker.com? thanks

Nate McMurray November 30, 2016

App won't login I've reset my password multiple times trying to get it to log in on the app, I can login to walker tracker site for my work and no problem but the app always says login failed. Email is correct and password. It never tells me the username or password are wrong just failed

Walker Tracker December 1, 2016

Hi Nate - we'd love to help - would you be willing to contact support@walkertracker.com?

Chris Olson January 23, 2017

Can you fix the obnoxious toast issue? A toast message always pops up as soon as app is launched telling me when my program start date is. Not only is the message old and no longer needed (as my program has started already) but it habitually pops up as I navigate to different sections of the app. The toast also stays up for much longer than a typical toast does, and is so larger that it effectively blocks the bottom quarter of my screen, hindering my ability to read anything towards the bottom of a page. Please fix this toast message so it no longer pops up.

Walker Tracker January 23, 2017

Hi Chris - thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it. We'll address this on the next update.

Robert Reed December 8, 2016

Could be better Can't add friends from app.

Rajiv Srivastav December 5, 2016

very smart & helping

October 12, 2016

I like it It's great now that it working. Do you know if they will add samsung gear s2 as a compatible device?

Walker Tracker October 12, 2016

Hi - - thank you for the heads-up here. We found there was a conflict between the new wellness metrics and login. Would you be willing to give this another try? I apologize for the hassle...

Mark Berrios May 24, 2016

Competition tool problem This app was working so good and one day I went to view my steps and see how far I am from my friends and the competition tool is not working. It tells me to report it and I do. I report it it today 5/21/2016 and I still have not heard or still can not use the competition tool. This really sucks because I have to go to the Web to view everything so why do I need this app for? Can some one at the walker center help me out here please.

Anthony Brascia May 25, 2016

Worked first day not since Worked fine the first day. After that.i only get a message saying "unfortunately this app has stopped working". Computer doesn't work much better. Even after syncing it does not update.

Futum Aman April 18, 2016

Walker tracker After i finished downloading the program it asks for email address but after i put it its not opening saying that in correct so how i will used it. I hope you can show me how to use it.

Walker Tracker April 25, 2016

Hi Futum - You'll want to register on our website first. The app does not yet feature in-app registration. Thanks WT

Jim Roal April 5, 2016

Really struggles to Sync with Google Fit. Crashed Play Services. Multiple attempts may get 1 sync but then won't sync again until you keep toggling the Fit sync over and over.

Walker Tracker April 6, 2016

Hi Jim - thanks for your feedback. We have seen crashes with select devices and Google Fit, and will be pushing an update soon.

Jenn Britt July 16, 2016

Can't sync with other devices as the help pages indicate I like the competition aspect of Walker Tracker, and it's been good to get a lot of people moving. Unfortunately, I lost my pebble, and I can't use any other device. The help pages indicate I should be able to use my Garmin Vivofit, but in the device page, I only have the option to connect with a pebble or a sync point. There are no other options. Also, I got GoogleFit my phone, and the help pages say I should see a way to connect to it. I don't see the sync option.

A Crisp June 1, 2016

Doesn't track accurately I went from my home to my car to the grocery store and walked around the store twice then back to my car and then back into my home. It tracked only 50 steps from the moment I left home until I returned. Way off!

DCG April 8, 2016

Sync problem I tried manually inputting my steps and I keep getting error posting steps message. How am I suppose to sync if it doesn't work. Also, I was told I could sync my fitbit to this, how?

Walker Tracker April 14, 2016

Hi Abigail - if you go to your program's website, you'll be able to log in and connect your device. Then that device will show in your app. If we can give you a hand, please let us know. support@walkertracker.com - Thanks

Raul V May 31, 2016

Can't log in I just downloaded the app...I can log in on the website...but on the app on my phone it says that my login failed.

Charles Young June 22, 2016

Does not accurate right does not keep up the right steps

Jennifer Rewkowski March 7, 2016

Walker Tracker April 6, 2016

Hi Jennifer - registration via the app is coming soon. In the meantime, feel free to register on the website (and then use the app). Because the majority of programs are sponsored by employers, our registration process is a little different than normal consumer apps.

March 8, 2016

Works well. Syncs fine with google fit and automatically updates my walker tracker. I have been using the walker website frequently and its great having teams and competitions with other people at work.

Tracy Atkinson November 8, 2015

Boo Using this app with a walking competiton at work. Will not sync steps. Frustrating as the competition is only 50 days and this puts people behind. And it is connected properly because it works some of the times.

Walker Tracker November 10, 2015

Hi Tracy - we had a Google Fit glitch, which has now been fixed. If you could give it another try, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, feel free to email us at support@walkertracker.com

Russell Worrell September 9, 2015

I won't let me add my steps and it is not adding automatically off my galaxy S5 since the new update. The problem resolved on rebooting my phone

Walker Tracker September 9, 2015

Hi Russell - There are a few reasons why it might not be letting you add steps (program expired, etc). If you could email us at support@walkertracker.com we'd be happy to help get your account straightened out.

John Koth October 7, 2015

Handy and timely app! Good way to track your progress as well as your teams. It would get five stars if it would sync with my Jawbone UP2. UPDATE: contacted by the admins and have successfully synced my Jawbone. Great job!

Walker Tracker October 7, 2015

Hi John - If you connect your Jawbone UP2 on the website, the app will show up-to-date information from it. Let us know if you need a hand.

Courtney Lee September 9, 2015

Could not log in. Got message that the login failed; however, I could enter an incorrect password, and it would come back with a notice saying my password was incorrect. Deleting app. EDIT: The developer responded to my comment to say that the update fixed it. It did and I can now log in. Thank you!

Walker Tracker September 9, 2015

Hi Courtney - I think we did have an issue, that's since been fixed with the new update.

Ellen Nelson September 23, 2015

At first I thought this app was a pedometer. It's really an app to compliment their website where I can track my steps. Their support is really helpful and answers quickly all of my questions.

Teresa Cohen September 14, 2015

this app does not work.. I have been walking for days and its not updating or registering my walking activities at all!!! This app is worthless

Walker Tracker September 28, 2015

Hi Teresa - we'd love to help. Email our support at support@walkertracker.com to make sure the app is properly hooked into your account or your pedometer.

Jocy Palacios November 6, 2015

Google fit toggle button not working!!!

Walker Tracker November 10, 2015

Hi Jocy - Thanks - this did indeed stop working Friday. We're investigating this issue now, and hope to have an answer asap. I apologize for the hassle. Let us know (support@walkertracker.com) if we can switch you back to manual-entry while we figure out if this is a Google Fit or WT issue. Hi Jocy - this is fixed now! Sorry for the hassle.

Summer Davis August 30, 2015

Love the Concept Great app, just have problems making it work with Google Fit since this update.

Walker Tracker September 9, 2015

Hi Summer - we'd love to help. If you can email us at support@walkertracker.com we'll make sure to get this working properly.

What's New

Notices (from admins) are now in the app. They appear at the top of the stats screen.

Emoji support! 😁

Also: Competition discussions are back! (sorry about that)

Thanks for using Walker Tracker. We're working to make the app a better experience all the time. If you like these changes, a review or rating really helps out. Thanks!
