iOS App of the Week: The Walk

There are a billion fitness apps in the App Store, but developer Six to Start has found a creative way to make them more exciting and fun. The Walk is the follow-up to the developer's popular running game Zombies, Run!. Both apps are more than just boring pedometers, they're are games that encourage users to walk and run every day with by adding an interesting twist.

In The Walk, your journey begins in Scotland after a bomb explodes in Inverness station. You're then given a package that could save the world and you must walk a certain distance in the real world to unlock more pieces of the mystery.

Users are guided by over 13 hours of audio recordings while the app's pedometer records the amount of time you walked and the amount of steps you have taken. The game also sends you an alert every time you discover a new audio recording so you won't miss a thing.

The Walk manages to do the impossible by making walking fun! It is a great fitness app that will make you want to leave the car in the garage so you can walk to the store instead.

The Walk is available in the App Store for $3.99. It is compatible with the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and it requites iOS 7 or later.
