I now have this app on my second Garmin watch. It's a shame my progress wasn't transferred. With my old watch I was close to 1000km. With my new one now at just under 200km. And yesterday after updating the watch my current progress was reset and now I'm at 10km. That's great. That's frustrating. Still, it's a fun gimmick if you see your progress.

I love this app because it's simple, it's like a pedometer challenge but with a geek touch. It does only what it's supposed to do, and that makes it work well. A lot of other widgets are buggy, don't display well or take some time to load. This one does none of that, it just works.

This app is simply amazing and very enjoyable

Best app ever. Please add support for venue 3s soon, I miss it on my new watch...

Great widget our kids really like to ask me where we are at and where we are heading. Can only recommend to every LOTR fan! I wish there was something similar on IOS

Superfun widget! Only issue is that it stopped tracking due to not updating on my Fenix 6X Pro. Fixed it by reinstalling and started over from bag end.

Absolutely love this app. It’s a great motivator to get some extra steps in to contribute towards completing the journey!

By far the best app on Connect. Fun and motivating to see how close to Mordor get!

This is great. Very entertaining. I was conscripted to the army, which includes a lot of marching and such so I thought I could finish it during my armed service. Let's see, so far 90 kilometers in 1 week. This could be a bit better with the scrolling on my watch, Vivoactive 4, where the scrolling might force a word or two to be underneath the watch's edge so you can't read it. Finding more apps like this would be very entertaining

As a Lord of the Rings fan this is a fun way to track my distance.

LOTR fun! I love walking the path of the ring through Middle Earth. It’s a fun way to stay active. The tidbits of information at each destination are a bonus. With the Venue 2, part of the longer summaries are cutoff but it’s not bad. Great free app!

For a free app, I can't complain. I am a huge LOTR fan, so this is just a fun way to track my steps on a regular basis. It tracks your steps along the way, but it also tells you the story from each point and it fills in a circle as you complete each leg of the journey. I absolutely love following along with it. Again, for a free app, it is simple and fun and worth the download, in my opinion.

I like the idea, but in my Venu 2 Plus, it cuts off some of the text at the bottom.

Fun app. Have had it installed for 3 weeks now and I still regularly check. So must be good to keep my attention this long!! :)

Fun app, that makes walking more fun. But 8 days in, my Max daily km is stuck at 0 in the current version. Still a keeper.

One of the best app, can you make more app with LOTR theme?

Super fun. Similar to what withings does with their achievements. Adds a nice adventure right on your wrist. Big font mode is the best.
