Strut

The game is to unlock more squares. Encourages you to travel and take unique routes to work. Neat way to see where you've been. Fun stats.

This app is great, I've found lots of cool new places using it, I love that you can make the competition as local or international as you like. The concept alone is wonderful and I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Support is also friendly and helpful, and responds quicker than any other service I know. 100% would recommend

This app is a great way to entice you to visit new places. Unlike other GPS games there is no upkeep, just unlocking new squares, so you don't have to worry about other people stealing your territory of making the app less fun for you. In truth it isn't really a game, just a list of places you've been. The only gamification is the comparing of highscores for different areas which if you follow the spirit if the app won't even matter to you as you'll be exploring new places and uncovering hidden treasures in places you thought you knew well. The best thing that sets Strut above other GPS games is that you can collect tiles without using cellular data, just have wifi on to get the GPS signal (not even connected) and you can upload the tiles when you get home so it won't cost you any extra data! The review below must not have read the description because even though it is titled Strut, the designer made a point to say it doesn't matter how fast you travel, the point is to just get out there any way possible. There are a few bugs that make the leaderboards not quite accurate, like a few random tiles counting outside the cities they should. Sometimes tile counts don't sync quite right and the boundaries in rural areas can be way bigger than they should be. So another reason not to take it too seriously.

Ok...if this were an app/ gps game that was for walkers/ hikers/ runners/ bikers and had a speed control on it to prevent people from uncovering blocks while driving....then I would say...AweSome!!! But what the heck is the purpose of driving around, wasting gas uncovering blocks. What kind of bragging rights are those? Jesus...games these days give hope in getting people off their butts...but then they just sit on them in their cars.
