It's awesome, I love everything about this app. I would highly recommend this to all anyone keeping track and losing weight :)
Date Problem

The app works pretty well, but I can't figure out how to make the date change automatically. I usually have to go into the outing details and manually change the date and time of the outing. It shouldn't be that hard to have the app use the current date and time.
Update of previous review

If you are a new user downloading this app it probably earns three or four stars. If you are a veteran user of the previous version you should be aware this "update" will destroy your exercise history! If you feel you must install the upgrade, be sure to use the backup and restore function in "more" at the bottom right of the main screen. Hopefully, when the new version wipes your data you can restore it with this feature. I continue to rate this a one-star app simply because the developers failed to warn us the new version is wholly incompatible with data saved in the older version. I lost six months of run and walk data, a frustrating experience to say the least.
Horrible app

I tried and tried to like and use this app but I had so many different problems that I finally deleted it. It would post things on my facebook with a link to a map, but none of the maps worked. All my friends simply got errors when clicking the link. The entry it posts on Facebook has no spaces between words and looks really amateurish. In addition, the app constantly forgets the link to Facebook, so I kept having to log in time and time again. Now with this newest version, I had my first walk route crash the app, losing all record of the walk. Then my second walk, it saved it but would not share it on Facebook, telling me that I needed to link to Facebook even though I already had and the Facebook link kept saying I had already allowed Walk Watch. Don't bother with this app, it's junk.
Update is not good!

I'd been using this app since March with no issues. I did the upgrade at the end of July and it does not store new data, will not let me access old data, and just shuts down when going to different screens. I've rebooted, deleted the app and reinstalled, and I've even tried to restore data I had saved previously, but it keeps crashing. It was great when it worked. I emailed customer support a couple of days ago, and have not even received an acknowledgement telling me they received my message and will be getting back in touch regarding my concerns. I would have loved to rate this as a 5 star had it continued functioning as it had before the 2.2 version.
Both versions: varnish on a rotting barn

2.2 update lost all settings and saved data. 1.3 had inconsistent save (about 50% of the time save just failed and lost route). Vendor's web service creating KML for sharing on social networks generated malformed XML for me. All that said, I found the features and user-interface of this app compelling, until (with both ok and new versions, hitting save either loses my walk permanently or crashes the app). Hopefully no more hiccups in 2.2 other than update losing my history and settings, and the annoying save-bugs we'll see. I used to love this app, then tolerated it, and now I just curse at it. I am a long-time software engineer, so my perspective on the importance of quality may skew the way I look at this: the developers of this app could have done so much more investing their time in making it robust and reliable instead of (or before) re-skinning it to look more attractive after years of no updates. If the developers can fix things in a future update, I am happy to re-visit this review and my rating.
new update no longer saves data Useless...

The new update appears to be working while I walk but when I press "save" at the end of the walk the data will not save. I also tried to manually add a work out (estimating the time and distance) when i press save it clicks me out of the app completely and nothing is saved. So it may be saying it has all these new fangled features but all features are USELESS at this point. I am so disapointed as i am in training and i rely on this data. It was one of my top favorite apps before the update, now it is useless until it is fixed or can i get the old version back until this one works correctly? 1 star for now, fix it and i will give you 5 stars.
Don't update!
