Loyal...but a fatal flaw
rds3wave
I am loyal to WJR but this app has one fatal flaw. When I first open it, I want to see my routes. I can never figure out how to do that. ?
Routes Won't Load
Noonroob
App costs five dollars and doesn't work. Tried today and yesterday to find new routes and an alert pops up that says "Unable to load routes" All other map apps work and I am connected to the internet. Sad that this doesn't work out of the box, especially for the price.
Can't find routes
Mtimmerman
I keep getting a message that I need to connect to internet in order to see routes. I want my money back
Great app!

Great app. Use it to find running routes when traveling. The latest update has fixed the bugs that annoyed me. Thanks for the update!
Love this app!

This app has so many great features. I have used it to find routes when on the road, make routes for my self, share my activities with friends, and gps track my hikes, and runs. I use this app a lot for tracking my hikes and find it to be very accurate. It's awesome to be able to track the details of distance, elevation, time and see your routes when hiking especially cause I use old logging roads and jeep trails. Now instead of guessing the distances I am traveling I can see it exactly. I can use the map function to see my routes in satellite view, topographical, or maps view. When I have had a problem or question about the app the developers have responded to my questions within 24 hours, which I think is cool. There are just so many awesome functions to the app. I love it. I bet you will to.
Clicking hyperlink doesn't display route

The latest version doesn't display the correct route when clicking a hyperlink from a webpage.
Works for me
Kate_where
It does what I need it to do, and I found it fairly intuitive. It would be helpful if it would suggest routes based on the distance I want to go, maybe next version!
Works better than I thought!

The developers replied to my initial concerns so I'm rewriting this. The app works fine for my needs. There are several features I have not used. One thing I liked about mapmyrun was there "start in thirty seconds" option that assumed I needed to stow the phone before running. Don't think walkjogrun has that. I'm on version 4.6.0.166.
