This may look like a watchface, but it's not. It's an app to record outdoor walks! This was done with a main screen that looks like a watchface, where you still want to have a "watchface" visible, yet do recording.</p><p>(if you want a more robust app for walking, see Hike or Hike2, but Simple Walk does much more than a native walking app!)</p><p></p><p>Support Thread: https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/showcase/3882/support-thread-for-simple-walk</p>

Misst leider nicht immer richtig. Bei einem 4 KM Spaziergang zeigte er 6 KM an. Ein Andermal bei einer Freundin ca. 100 Meter bei tatsächlichen 3 KM, Die APP scheint irgendwo einen Rechen- oder Interpretationsfehler zu haben. Installiert auf 2 GARMIN 735 XT

Further testing has revealed that my prior experience was due to other software on the watch. Apologies to the developers. This is still a great app!

Way too glitchy nowadays. It keeps turning my watch off right before I go to save the walk. Like today I did a 42 minute walk 2.3 miles. The app shut my watch down and when it restarted it said I had only done 214 steps that day (instead of around 5000 after the walk) and my walk was shortened to 38 minutes and 2 miles. Uninstalled the app because this happens after every walk now, not just rarely....

The app itself hasn't changed in a long time, so this sound like something with your watch - possibly a new FW update. For things like this, please mention the watch you have and it's current FW version. "Contact Developer" on the right is the best way to do that

Allows me to track walks on my FR235, however fairly regularly the watch will restart at the point of saving the walk, losing all un-synced steps and turning the walk back into a running activity. Rather frustrating, but it will suffice until I can upgrade my watch to one with dedicated walk tracking.

There has been a gremlin on the 235 for some time, with no trace of why, but the watch crashes unexpectly. Why you can try is my Hike app, https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/39d3b5e8-67db-4517-93a8-5ec485269635 As it uses less memory and that may avild the crash (you can have it record a walk instead of a hike). Once you see this crash, you want to hold the light button until the watch turns itself off then turn it back on - that's a full reboot of the watch.

Worked great for a week. Started this morning, and when waiting for GPS signal the watch restarted. Tried 5 times - same thing happened. Uninstalled app from mobile then reinstalled. Same thing happening. When searching for GPS the watch just restarts with the "Garmin screen".

Great App. On the Forerunner 235 without any opportunity to add other workouts, being able to utilise the IQ app and register a Walk is fantastic.

I use with my Forerunner 230 outdoors on my walk days and it works great, is there an app for use on a treadmill when walking indoors?

Great at tracking my walk on my forerunner 230. But 2 our of 5 times I start it , my device crashes and looses all data recorded that day, doesn’t happen with other apps or when I start other workouts. Pretty frustrating. . Would be nice to have that checked out.

For things like this, please use "contact developer" so I can ask things like firmware version and ask other questions. For example, are the other apps native to the watch? Have you tried my Hike app? It also records walking.and if there's no problem with it, would help me narrow down the problem.

Installed and ran like a charm on Forerunner 235. Easy to figure out use. Alternate stats screens very useful too. Love this app!

When you save the activity the watch shuts down and your steps, distance and calories are erased. So annoying.

Otherwise it works fine and its most useful. But reacently I have had the same problem as "Indrajeet" with my FR230. But Thanks anyway I needed that app. ;)

This has been my most used app since I bought FR235. Recently there is problem noticed. When I save activity, it shows summary and then watch restarts and it opens with native Run activity. If I save, it saves my walk as native running activity but no steps are recorded. If I discard running, nothing is saved neither walk nor steps.

He tenido que desinstalarla porque cada vez que terminaba una caminata al darle a guardar, el reloj se reiniciaba y encima perdía todos los pasos hechos hasta ese momento. Un desastre. Pd: en forerunner 235

try doing a hard boot of your watch. Hold the light button for 15-20 seconds until the watch turns itself off, then turn it back on Simple Walk hasn't changed in a while, so I suspect there is something with the firmware. What version are you running on your watch?

I tried this today in my Fenix3, but it's seem the screen is hangout after start, nothing update even the clock, although GPS is already and I'm still moving. I recognize if I pause current activity then start back again then the information is updated. When I finished, I save the activity, all display as normal, then I think maybe something goes wrong with Fenix3. Please give a check.

It sounds like something with your watch. Maybe the FW version? Please use 'Contact Developer and supply the information there, and that way I can ask quests. One thing to try is restarting the watch - hold the light button until it turns off and the turn it back on.

Just want to know, when I start the app, my Garmin Tactix Bravo reboot every time. When it work, every time it shows a lap it show (on the watch) LAP 0.

Needs to be updated to work with the vivoactive 3. Same with hike 2.

There is a bug in the 2.40 Firmware which impacts many apps. Once new FW is available, both Simple Walk and Hike2 should work fine. See: https://forums.garmin.com/forum/developers/connect-iq/connect-iq-bug-reports/1253279-vivoactive-3-onback-not-implemented-on-the-device

Since you will ask, I'm using a Garmin Fenix 3, with latest firmware. What is absolutely mind boggling about this app is that it doesn't have the one and only feature that most people want it for: STEPS for the activity! Yes, it gives you a total for the day, and you can try and remember what you started with and subtract, etc., but it doesn't provide the most SIMPLE of data fields: STEPS DURING ACTIVITY!! Wtf? But even if it did, it crashes constantly, so I highly recommend against it.
Developer Reply
August 26, 2017, jim_m_58
Seems you didn't really look! In addition to daily steps on the first screen there are also "steps (ACT)" which are your steps during the activity recording. As far as one of the 6 large configurable datafields, one of the options there is "Activity Steps". With the crashes, if you provide info on when it happens (such as "when I try to save the activity it crashes) I can look into it.
Sorry, no statistics available yet.
