G-WALK for Android

G-WALK: A Health and Fitness App for Daily Activity Tracking

G-WALK is a lifestyle app developed by フェリカポケットマーケティング株式会社 that aims to support the daily health and fitness goals of residents in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. With G-WALK, users can automatically record their daily step count simply by carrying their smartphones. The app also allows users to track their weight, blood pressure, and meals through photos, as well as record their medical check-ups. Setting step count goals and achieving them earns users points, which can be used to participate in quarterly lottery draws for health-related and experiential prizes.

G-WALK offers various features to make health and fitness more enjoyable and sustainable. Users can access columns on health improvement, exercise videos, virtual walking courses to explore different locations, and mission-clearing events. The app also enables users to connect with friends and participate in ranking competitions, even when physically apart. Users can share their health journey on social media platforms, and G-WALK is compatible with wearable devices for seamless tracking.

Please note that G-WALK may not function properly if other apps are running simultaneously, and it is not compatible with tablet devices. The app requires an operating system version of 6.0 to 13.0 and may not measure step count on devices without a step counter sensor. It also relies on Google Fit for step count data, necessitating the installation and login of the Google Fit app. Some devices, such as "ra-kuraku phones," may have restrictions on installing Google Fit and G-WALK. Users with multiple Google accounts need to ensure that the account used for Fit and G-WALK is the same. It is important to acknowledge that Google Fit applies its own corrections to step count data, which may not perfectly align with G-WALK. Additionally, certain permissions, such as notifications, location, and camera access, are required to utilize specific features of the app.
