Question 1

How does reTrek track my walks?

Accepted Answer

reTrek doesn't track steps directly. It requests step and distance data (nothing else) from your phone's health hub: Apple Health on iPhone, Health Connect on Android. Your phone records steps into it on its own (on most Android phones, from the moment you allow reTrek to read them, while older Health Connect versions need a step-counting app such as Samsung Health, see Support), and a watch or tracker app can share its steps there too. No app to keep open while walking, no separate setup.

Question 2

Does it work with my Apple Watch / Garmin / Polar / Whoop / Fitbit / Oura / other fitness tracker?

Accepted Answer

Yes, any tracker that writes step data to Apple Health (iPhone) or Health Connect (Android) works. Apple Watch is automatic on iPhone. For Garmin, Polar, Whoop, Fitbit, Oura, Samsung and others, the tracker's own app needs health sharing turned on (a one-time toggle in that app's settings). The simple test: if Apple Health or Health Connect shows your steps for today, reTrek will pick them up too.

Question 3

Will it drain my battery?

Accepted Answer

No noticeable drain. Your phone's low-power motion sensor and its health hub (Apple Health or Health Connect) do the actual step tracking, and they are built for running all day. reTrek doesn't add a separate tracker on top, so there's nothing extra running while you walk.

Question 4

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes for the walking part. Your phone records your steps locally whether you're online or not, and reTrek catches up on your progress next time you have a connection. Some content like milestone videos needs the internet to load.

Question 5

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

What reTrek collects: your email for your account, your name, and steps from Apple Health or Health Connect for your progress. I don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. Full details in the privacy policy.

Question 6

Isn't this just step counting?

Accepted Answer

No. Step counters tell you how many steps you took. reTrek turns those steps into progress along a real trail or a story-driven quest, with milestones that unlock short videos and chapters as you reach them. The number isn't the point, the journey is.

Question 7

Who can see my walks?

Accepted Answer

You're in control. Your profile can be public or private. On a private account you approve every follower, and only the people you approve can see your adventures and progress. On a public account, anyone can follow along. And if you walk a route together with others, everyone in that adventure (and their followers) can see how it's going, which the app tells you before you join.

Question 8

How do I cancel?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel in the app (Settings → Account → Manage) or directly with your store: on iPhone, Settings → your name → Subscriptions. On Android, the Google Play app → your profile → Payments and subscriptions → Subscriptions. You keep PRO until your current billing period ends.

Question 9

Why isn't this free?

Accepted Answer

If you don't pay for the product, you're the product. That's the model most apps run on, with ads, attention farming, data sold to whoever pays for it, or quietly fed into AI training. I'd rather charge a fair price and keep things clean.

reTrek is built by me, Myko Nordy, on my own. No investors, no corporate parent. The server bills, the films, and the work behind every new route, quest, and update come out of my pocket. Your subscription is what makes that possible, and what pays for the next thing on my list. Just me and you.
