Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Lifestyle apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About BashoWalk : Haiku Journey
"Transform a simple walk into an elegant journey."
Basho Walk is a walking tracker that utilizes your iPhone HealthKit data (steps) to let you retrace the legendary steps of the 17th-century haiku master, Matsuo Basho.
The hundreds or thousands of steps you take today will sync with Basho’s 1689 journey—a 2,400km (1,500-mile) path from Edo (Tokyo) to Ogaki.
Your daily commute, school run, or grocery trip: why not turn your everyday movement into a historical voyage through time and space?
【Key Features】
- Progress Through History with Your Steps: Simulate the actual route from Fukagawa, Edo, to the goal in Ogaki on a map. Your current location updates based on your real-world step count.
- Checkpoint & Haiku Collection: As you reach each post town, you unlock the haikus Basho composed at those very locations. Immerse yourself in the scenery and emotions of the past.
- Sense Basho’s Pace: The app calculates Basho’s 17th-century pace in real-time. By seeing where Basho is "walking" right now, you’ll feel a unique sense of companionship and motivation.
- Sophisticated Japanese Design: With meticulous attention to typography and color palettes, we have created a calm, "Wa" (Japanese-style) UI designed for mature users to enjoy daily.
【Recommended For】
- Those who want to walk for health but find standard pedometers repetitive.
- People interested in history, literature, or haiku.
- Those who want to add a touch of joy and culture to their daily routine.
Add a splash of color and poetry to your everyday scenery.
Embark on a journey of steps with Basho today.
