Terrible app
It only has three meditations which should be disclosed and they are virtually the same thing. Rip off for even 2 dollars

Description
Enjoy the benefits of meditation as you walk. Walking meditation can be just as profound as sitting meditation. It brings the meditative experience into daily activity.
Perfect for those who have trouble sitting still to meditate, it's also great for those who enjoy sitting meditations. It helps bring meditation into every moment of the day.
Our approach to walking meditation is easy and informal. As you walk, you are gently guided to experience your body and your surroundings fully. Letting go of thoughts about the past and future allows you to experience the present moment more fully.
THE APP CONTAINS:
INTRODUCTION TO WALKING MEDITATION & TIPS
THREE WALKING MEDITATIONS, each with a different emphasis
DIARY PAGE - for those who want to keep notes on insights and experiences
INTEGRATION WITH HEALTH APP - allows tracking of "Mindful Minutes"
---------
Each walking meditation has a different focus:
BEING FULLY PRESENT Guided Walking Meditation (16 min)
Helps you to be fully present to all of the experiences you have while walking -- what you experience within yourself and in the world around you.
ENLIVENING THE BODY Guided Walking Meditation (17 min)
Focuses on the experience of the body while walking. It enlivens the body, strengthens the mind-body connection and is both calming and grounding.
ENHANCING THE SENSES Guided Walking Meditation (18 min)
Focuses on what you see, hear, smell and feel through the sense of touch as you walk. It enhances your experience of life by enhancing your perception.

Great app
I really like this app. Very useful!

Wasn't Sure About This But...
I really enjoy using this. I got the bundle of apps and use the guided meditation, walking meditation and the sleep apps. I never thought I could walk without music much less meditate but I am doing both and love it. It's part of my everyday ritual now.

Just what I was looking for
This app gave me exactly what I needed as I began a program of meditation & exercise.
2016-06-13
Excellent
Very good basic mindfulness exercises.

Would rate it no stars
Narrator's voice is the worst. It's all the same terrible.
2016-03-17
Terrible
I started to listen and the voice was so terrible and annoying that I couldn't even get through the first minute. Don't bother with this one folks. That's $2 I'll never get back!
2015-08-03
What I expected and wanted
For $0.99, I expected a calm voice that would help keep my thoughts where they belong during the meditation. As someone with no experience meditating, I thought this would be helpful, and it is. I can see that a more experienced person might not need it. I can also see that I'll soon be able to build in some breaks -- not listening to anything. But for now, and for me, this is great and absolutely worth the cost.

Not worth it
No controls. She just keeps saying the same thing over and over. The "enliven body" and "enliven senses" meditation are not much different than the "fully present" meditation. I thought they would be more specific to the titles, but there's just a few words during them that have anything to do with the subject of the meditation. The most annoying thing is the very long pauses throughout the whole recording. It's not very relaxing to have to stop walking and/or meditating to see if I hit pause accidentally or caused it to stop playing in some way.
However, I will say that I've enjoyed the Relax and Rest app they have. You can change the music and control the music and voice volume, among other controls. I just think this walking one was not well thought out.

Not good
How has this gotten so many good reviews?
2014-12-08
Diary Malfunction
I enjoy the meditations however, my diary function does not work. It doesn't save anything I write. Please fix that. I enjoy writing my thoughts after meditation, and I like the idea of having an "in app" diary.
2014-12-08
Not worth the money
There are no controls in this app it's just a recording of irritating lady voice and no options to change.
2014-11-11
Love it
Soothing peaceful voice. Length of the three meditations offers flexibility (16, 17, 18 min). Can do one once or same one two or three times. Or you can combine the three in any way to do a 30 or 45 or full hour of walking. Very helpful in keeping my mind in the present and practicing awareness. Thanks for this app!

Effective
Great way to relax as I go through my day.
2014-08-05
Relaxing and good for walking
She has a soothing voice that's easy to meditate with. Nice work
2014-06-15
Great meditation
Each walking meditation guides me to be present. I find the guide's voice to be just right for this kind of exercise.
2014-06-15
Enjoyable
This app worked great for bringing meditation along with you on a walk. The guide does not tell you to "stop walking" as the other review mentioned. Each meditation begins with you standing still and coming back to breath. The voice is a little too whispery and breathy, but it is expected on guided meditation apps. I really enjoyed this app!
2014-06-04
Waste
The first thing the annoying voice told me to do was "stop walking". Why would I want to stop walking during the "walking meditation"? Don't waste your dollar
2014-03-20
not great
I agree about the valium. It took some getting used to the narrators voice,she sounds ill. And there is a much better walking meditation by Belleruth Naparstek. I am just looking for something new for a change. Even though it's only $.99, had I been able to listen to a sample I don't think I would have bought it. I'll keep looking.

Wonderful App
I use this app a lot when walking from place to place. It's a great tool to clear my mind as well as see the world in an entirely new way.
2013-04-05
Effective for me
Narrator sounds like she has taken a great deal of Valium. However the information she imparts, and the guided meditation are really quite effective. Also, this is the only walking meditation app out there. For that reason it is quite good. The "price" is also quite good.
2012-10-20
Not worth it.
Breath and look at things around you. Not a very good meditation.
2012-08-13
Very relaxing :)
When I found this app, I saw that there were only 2 ratings, and the average amount of stars was 0. I decided to try out the app without knowing if it was good or not. Well I'll tell you, it was a good find! Highly relaxing, improves my awareness, spiritual presence, senses and one of my most used apps! I use it in the morning before any body has gone out to drive or mow their lawns or walk their dogs and it really improves my day. Love it! If you are looking for a creative alternative to sitting meditation, this is the app for you.

So glad I found this
Meditation was very hard for me, but very needed due to trauma and severe stress. I tried other methods but would actually laugh when I heard phrases like "harness the Chakra" or "feel the positive energy as you breath in"- major eye roll not conducive for meditation. This girl tells ask you what you see, hear, feel and 15 minutes later, huge weight off shoulders and a better outlook on getting through life's major struggles.

Maybe
Maybe for those that have never meditated. Very monotonous.. Not in a good way
