Easy walk tracker: always on, never forget to start. Walksome automatically tracks your daily walks and shows maps, step counts, burned calories estimate and walk distance in miles (or km) and duration.
No need to start/stop activity tracking: Walksome detects continuous walking automatically and logs your walks for you. Its an easy way to reach the recommended 10000 daily steps without having to wear any kind of fitness bands or amulets.
Just go for a walk when you feel like it, or when the moment is right, and Walksome will count your steps and show you the map of your walk afterwards. As a bonus, it makes it easy to retrace your steps when you are exploring an unknown city. A perfect tool for urban hiking and city trekking!
Walksome doesnt require any sign-ups and keeps all walk data locally.
Battery-intensive location tracking is only turned on while you are walking. While continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life, with Walksome there’s little worry about that, because you’d have to walk *a lot* for that to become an issue.
Walksome includes intelligent walk reminders. They are normally triggered twice a day and the exact time will be adjusted based on your prior walks. Reminders will be postponed, or outright cancelled if you are already walking, or driving, or riding a bus. We don’t believe in flooding our users with notifications, so in edge cases reminders are cancelled rather than postponed.
Step counts and walk distance are based on your devices pedometer and GPS units. The accuracy may vary significantly depending on how well your phone can sense movement and how good GPS signal reception is. For example, step counting tends to work better when the phone is in a pocket, rather than in a backpack.
This app requires M7/M8 motion coprocessor and pedometer (so itll work on iPhone 5s, iPhone 6/6s, iPhone 6/6s Plus, iPhone SE). Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
