Wagz hopes that caring for a virtual dog (think Tamagotchi 2.0) will motivate you to get up and get going. The virtual Wagz dog, which you can customize to your liking, must be walked every day. The app tracks the time and distance of the walk. “The longer you walk him, the happier he will be. The more frequently you walk him, the more he will love you!” the developer explains.

I really love the concept of this app. But I found even when I have it on the highest sensitivity it does not always pick up when I am walking. I timed myself on the clock on my phone as well as using Wagz and I walked 40 minutes but Wagz only clocked 23:30. I tried putting my phone in my jacket pocket but it did very poorly logging my walking…….typically it didn’t change the time or distance. I had to hold the phone in my hand and really swing my hand deliberately to Wagz to log that I was walking. I think it just needs a bit of tweaking on the sensitivity. Otherwise, I love love love this app.

Thank you for your constructive feedback Jackey! I personally use this app almost every day and have noticed the same thing, especially when I am talking on my phone as I walk. I am working to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the time and distance measurement for future releases; so make sure to update the app when the time comes!
