Walk With Friends uses your “Real-World” walking distance data from Apple Health App and translates that to a “Virtual-Walk” anywhere in the world, based on “Real-World” map data from Apple Map Servers.

This IS NOT a navigational routing App! It is not designed to guide you in any way!

Walk With Friends gets the data it needs from Apple Health data.

Your actual location is never shared.

Your health data is never shared.

No private location data is ever shared with anyone!

Only the percentage along the virtual walking route is shared back and forth between walkers.

WalkWithFriends - Tracks your virtual progress with friends or solo—either way.

Walk With Friends - Tracks and displays walking information derived from Apple Health data.

It is easy. Setup route and invite friends in 6 quick steps (but really 4.5 steps! (you’ll see)).

Remember no location data is used or shared. Instead the App uses only how far you’ve walked using data from Apple Health App and shares only a percentage number between you and your walking friends! You also share a name you create for yourself to distinguish yourself from others on the walk.

You have to open the App to post. Whomever completes and post first, will be sorted to the top of the list.

Upon completion of a route, a visual surprise awaits you.

Displays last seven days of daily walking information (step, flights, distance). This information is derived from Apple Health App and is independent of any walking route data. The timeframe used for this data is midnight to midnight.

You will need to grant the Walk with Friends App Apple Health permission to access three data points: steps, flights, and distance. The App will not function properly without these permissions enabled.

Everyone starts the day as a turtle but only some finish the day as a rabbit.

Full sneakers ahead!
