Walking Odometer Pro
Unlike a phone pedometer, Walking Odometer Pro leverages the power of GPS, and by doing so, is able to provide more accurate measurements for distance walked and calories burned than can be achieved with a simple step counting pedometer.
Set long term or short term goals for yourself to motivate you to walk or run to a better fitness level. Choose a calorie goal, distance goal or decide how many pounds or kilograms of fat you would like to burn, then view your progress during and after your exercises.
The application has a powerful data manager that allows you to sort and view your accomplishments by day, month, week or year. Or, view speed, altitude and distance profiles for any given recording.
The app is easy to use. Simply press the start button, close the app and begin your activity. Voice messages will be called out to you indicating your distance every 1/4 km or 1/4 mile.
The application's odometer is internally calibrated so there is no need for you to go through a lengthy trial-and-error calibration method.
If you need to interrupt your walk, you can pause an activity and resume it at a later point in time. Pauses and resumes are reflected on the trail map which will clearly show split distances and other stats.
There is a one-of-a-kind odometer on the first screen that shows your distance. The meter was modeled after the old rolling drum odometers seen in pre-digital era cars and functions the same way -
- the display actually rolls in real time as you walk / run.
Other features include:
✪ No special accounts are required. Download and start using the app immediately.
✪ Analogue or digital odometers.
✪ Calorie counter, chronometer and stop watch.
✪ Heading and differential altimeter readings.
✪ Speedometer.
✪ Set calorie, kJ, distance and exercise duration goals.
✪ Lots of ways to view your accomplishments. Reports include summary and detailed charts, maps and graphs.
✪ Calculations for energy expenditure, basal and total metabolic rates use the latest techniques based on population studies of human oxygen consumption, CO2 production and human bomb calorimetry at rest and during exercise.

Excellent for the paid version. Limited on the free version. I am now using the paid for version for 9 months, this was great until the 1st of January 2022, now the app is not displaying the total distance walked each week, it still shows the monthly stats but I wonder if that will stop working after 12 months use. Maybe an app update is needed? I don't want to delete all my past walks each new year and start again.
All I want is an app which can tell me how far I have gone and what the elevation changes have been. This is NOT it. The interface is kludgy. I can't even figure out to turn it off after I have finished hiking. It is wildly inaccurate. I have tested it twice on nearly flat fields and it tells me that there has been a 200 foot elevation change. And, it bombards the user with popups at the bottom of the screen. There has got to be something simpler, more accurate and less cluttered with ads.
I was looking for a walking/jogging app with GPS, voice notifications, statistics, and data sharing. This app is better than most. I wish it had a step counter and a photo taking option for when you want to share your results with friends. I also find the design a tad 'boxy' and boring, but all in all, good job guys! Keep working on it, am sure it will get better. -I was pleasantly surprised recently when my query to these guys was answered happily, promptly, and helpfully! Kudos to this team!😊
Excellent app. I have been using the paid version for several years now for walks and bike rides. Great as a record of where I have been for future reference and seeing whether I am getting faster or slower! The ability to view the map in detail is a great feature. Using the speed function when on other modes of transport such as ferries is also interesting.
It WAS the best walking app I had found, but then they did an update. Now I can rarely get it to work. The update was to prevent it from starting until it aquired connection to GPS satellites, but it can't seem to do so now. It worked great before so I don't why it needed to be fixed (if it ain't broke, don't fix it). Meanwhile, all other GPS oriented apps work just fine, including Waypoints from the same author. I have tried recalibrating GPS and that did not help.
I was impressed at first but yesterday it went completely haywire. A 90-minute walk around a local country park gave a distance of 95 miles and a GPX file comprising random zigzag leaps of around 20 miles each. I don't think it's my phone's GPS as it is always accurate on Google Maps. I will give it one more try but if it happens again I shall uninstall the app.
I love to walk and I want an accurate record more than just recorded steps. With the use of the GPS, this application is very accurate and it also measures the altitude difference between your lowest point and your highest point if you have a walk with inclines & declines a/k/a hills. It will vocalize your elapsed time and distance at various points and times and it will display your current speed. This is my most liked and most used physical activity app., bar none! David Roesch
I'm giving it 5* because it's the closest yet to what I've been looking for. I don't want all the frills most apps force on you: this doesn't. I haven't used it much so far but it seems accurate, both distance and height. What I would like is the facility to turn on to do a constant daily read with a memory bank for, say, the last 28 days (rather than having to turn on at the start of a walk). My 12yr old Sony phone had a pedometer which worked this way: no need to remember to turn on and off.
This app is awful. You'd think an odometer would be simple, but this app is convoluted, confusing, and annoying. It takes several steps before you can actually use the tool, and then the interface makes little sense, and worst of all ads pop up and cover your screen constantly. Look elsewhere.
This app will be too basic for some people, but I wanted a simple no frills app to map my walk & show distance and mph and aggregate statistics therefrom. This app does this and more, is very accurate, so just what I was looking for. With a lot of these apps the developers keep adding additional functions & bells & whistles & mess up what was originally an excellent app. I hope this doesn't happen with this one.
Just what I was looking for: voice announcements of time and distance, coherent records, good details. And it never drops in mid-action. Highly recommended.
Have used the app for past few years. Very happy with the info it provides. Developed a problem recently due to an update in phone OS. Contacted the developer and received a prompt reply with info that solved the issue.
Their screen is really cluttered, their ads have audio that cannot be muted. I could not find a way to exit program. Maybe the app is easier to use with more investment of time, but it's not that hard to make an app it doesn't require such an investment. Lazy programming
Easy to use. Employs GPS to measure route and distance walked rather than steps. Lots of options. A well written piece of software.
Tried this walking app after I'd used another that proved very unreliable. I've used this for about a month now, and it's been really good - easy to use, and the maps accurately show the route taken & correct distance, unlike the other one. Recommended :-)
I love the 1/4 mile, 10 minute, annunciations. That's the main reason I chose it. The developer, DS Software is also very responsive to listening and incorporating review comments. The voice has changed. How do I revert to the original voice? One minor point, when I press Stop there is no verbal/visual notification that it has stopped and I have to check that the route has been saved to make sure.
