About One You Active 10 Walk Tracker

The app is designed to quickly and simply help you do more brisk walking in bursts of ten minutes, known as Active 10s. It tracks all your walking and rewards your progress.

Key features:

• Breaks your target down into manageable chunks of ten minutes of brisk walking
• Shows you when you’ve walked at the right speed
• Gives you goals to work towards
• Rewards your progress
• Shows where you can convert normal walking in to Active 10s
• Provides hints and tips

BRISK WALKING BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH

We all know how important it is to be active. The good news is that you don’t have to go to the gym or start expensive fitness programmes, walking counts too!

Just ten minutes of brisk walking every day can get your heart pumping and can make you feel more energetic, as well as lowering your risk of serious illnesses like heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Going for a brisk walk is a great way to clear your head.

Active 10s are simple to fit into your day, from taking the dog out to going for a lunchtime walk.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can impact battery life.

This app relies on your phone’s inbuilt sensors to measure activity so you may experience varying levels of accuracy especially in older devices/operating systems.

What are users saying about One You Active 10 Walk Tracker

Y70%
by Y####:

Just been for a 21min run and app says I've walked for 7 min, 6 brisk ones. I run at 5.5 min/km. Went for a long but brisk walk 2 days ago and only registered about 6 min as brisk. It's a brilliant idea but not consistent. Reading the replies to reviews it seems the way you carry it. Would be good to have an advice page.

D70%
by D####:

Doesn't work at all on my Xperia Z unless you have to jog for it to register. Not very user friendly, unsure how it's supposed to tell you when you're going fast enough for it to count. Uninstalled.

Y70%
by Y####:

Just hassles you all the time. I walked for 68 minutes this morning at a brisk pace... 2 minutes apparently!

Z70%
by Z####:

It worked for 2 days... Then stopped tracking at all! Restarted my phone and it worked again for a bit, highly inconvenient

Y70%
by Y####:

Good idea but it did not detect all my walk as brisk whilst S-health does. This means it has not recorded my exercise correctly which is not very encouraging.

Y70%
by Y####:

I've walked all over hackney and Whitechapel. This said I walked 7min Good idea though

N70%
by N####:

I am taking this off my phone as it has been using up my battery but I just walked for 20 minutes and it says I have not walked at all!

X70%
by X####:

Utterly useless. Did a 5 mile walk and it failed to register anything at all.

Q70%
by Q####:

"it looks like you've not been up and about yet" tell that to my Fitbit which had just buzzed at 10,000 steps...

U70%
by U####:

It doesn't work. It doesn't record anything. Reinstalled and it still doesn't work. Deleted

W70%
by W####:

It works brilliantly you sometimes forget that you've got the app and you can deffo monitor what you've done

J70%

You need to be able to log in and out!

Great app . Very motivated everyday

Great idea

Y70%

Like other users this app is inaccurate and unreliable and I've only had it for one day. Will try it one more day and if same experience will delete it. Most disappointing App updated today (3 April) so thought it might work properly but no! Just did 10 minute walk and this didn't register at all. Sorry I am deleting it. No point keeping it.

F70%
by F####:

Doesn't work on my S4. I did five miles and....Nothing. All permissions granted. All details given. Still nothing.

Y70%
by Y####:

Rubbish app. - I live 10 mins walk away from work and today it logged me as waking there in 1 minute! - will be deleting! Also on one occasion it didn't even log a walk. Don't bother wasting your time.

Y70%
by Y####:

Its graph section is up to 40 minutes. My average a day brisk walking is over 60 minutes. So far I can't see my walking history clearly. It is just a straight line at the top of the graph. They don't expect people to walk more than 40 minutes a day I guess

U70%
by U####:

It logged the first walk I did and looked to be a very useful app, but then hasn't logged any of my subsequent walks apart from recording the odd 1 minute walk when I'm walking around my house. Pity, maybe its a compatibility issue with S5 phones.

N70%
by N####:

Worked fine for a week, then stopped recording anything. Reinstalled and it worked for a day but now is completely random in what it records. I just walked briskly for 25 mins and it says I've done 1 brisk minute! I will stick with my Fitbit.

Y70%
by Y####:

This is not a good app, I have been walking all day and it hasn't picked up anything. I have a pedometer on my phone and it says I have taken almost 12,000 steps. So something is very wrong with this one.

Y70%
by Y####:

As a get up and move app it's exceptional I'm impressed with the concept it gives to people striving to just get back into fitness well done PHE oh by the way this review is from a seasoned Half Marathon runner

Y70%
by Y####:

I was very excited to download this as i was looking forward to being motivated by small gains. However i am doing active 10 every day and it's hardly registering. The other day i walked for an hour...Nothing.

Y70%
by Y####:

It worked for a few days, now it says I haven't been up and about. Says this everyday.

Y70%
by Y####:

Working up till today,said I have done no walking when I started at 630am due to my job.

Y70%
by Y####:

Amazing app but i take alot of transportation to get to/from work and i wish there was a way to pause it so it does not count me as walking

Y70%
by Y####:

Walked 3km in 20 mins - app recorded nothing.

M70%
by M####:

Doesn't register movement. Samsung S4 mini

Y70%
by Y####:

Doesn't log any distances/times, why have it

J70%
by J####:

Not very accurate. It said I'd been walking for 32 minutes and I was actually in the car. It also thought I'd done 1 minute brisk walk when all I'd done is picked up my phone and walk across the room - my house is really not that big, it's a terraced house so it takes 2 seconds to walk across the room not 1 whole minute. Think I will be deleting this app

Y70%
by Y####:

This app only works when it feels like it. It worked well the first day i installed it. The next day i went for a brisk 40 minute walk..nothing. According to the app, i had remained inactive all day. Yesterday it worked on a 40 walk, but today after walking for 35 minutes, again..nothing. It would be helpfull if it had a start and stop button, like another walking app i have. The only reason i have kept it, is that it tells me when i have walked briskly. However, seeing as it rarely registers my walks, i may as well delete it.

C70%
by C####:

Absolutely rubbish! Never logged any of my walks, only ever logged my car journeys! Have now uninstalled and found a new app!

Y70%
by Y####:

Works well, but what's with the notification that can't be removed? A widget would be nice.

Y70%
by Y####:

A great motivational application

D70%
by D####:

Reinstalled it a few times before giving up and deleting it. It didn't work out at all as it didn't connect with our WiFi or my mobile data. Got the couch to 5k app too so will try that

B70%
