The app reads the steps recorded by your phone or wearable through Health Connect. You move across a real map of the United States exactly as far as you have walked.
Your steps are collected automatically through Health Connect. There is nothing to type in.
The finish line is fixed, but the route is yours. Tap the map within your available distance and take as many detours as you like.
Reach a famous place to earn a badge and hear what Arukyun has to say about it.
Reach Key West, then turn around and start another lap back to the north, with a goal badge for every lap.
Built around real American geography, so every lap feels like a trip rather than a number.
Arrive at a landmark and a badge pops up with the place's name and a title to match. Acadia, the Freedom Trail in Boston, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Niagara Falls, the Liberty Bell and the National Mall are among the stops, with 187 badges in the collection.
When you arrive somewhere new, your guide Arukyun shares a short comment about the area, so it feels like you are really standing there. Notes are prepared for thousands of cities, towns and local areas along the East Coast, and are marked as AI-generated.
Curious what a place looks like? Open Street View from the spot you have reached and look around without leaving the app.
Tap your position and see what is around you on the route, such as cafes, restaurants, parks and sights, then open it in Google Maps. It is a handy way to plan the next stop on your virtual trip, or a real one.
The Coverage Map fills in every local area you have visited. Track how much of the East you have covered, and earn badges for every state you cross, then for the whole East Coast.
Choose who guides your way: Yajiru, Yanyaru, Yawani, Yauniru and more. Drop a Guidepost anywhere on the map and your companion will point the way.
Japanese Walking is an interval walking routine: three minutes of fast walking, then three minutes of slow walking, repeated for a few sets. The built-in timer gives you a 3-2-1 countdown, a tempo beat while you speed up and a heads-up before each switch, and it keeps running with the screen off.
After each fast segment it compares your real step count with your target tempo, and a card in the Record tab shows the days you completed a session. Open it from the travel map or the Record tab. This is not medical advice: walk at a pace that suits your health.
Start your journey for free in northern New England and the Northeast, where the route begins. When you are ready to walk on down the coast to Key West, switch to the full route with a single purchase.
Prices are shown in USD and may vary slightly by region and exchange rate on Google Play.
It is an interval walking timer built into the app: 3 minutes of fast walking and 3 minutes of slow walking, repeated for several sets, or 15 minutes of continuous fast walking. You can change the number of sets, the durations, the countdown and the tempo sound in the timer settings, and the timer keeps running with the screen off. It is included at no extra charge.
No. Your position on the map is worked out from your step count, not from GPS. The app reads steps through Health Connect and moves you along the map by the distance you have walked. See How Health Connect works and your privacy for details.
