What is a good and free walking app that would track miles walked? I have an Iphone. I have the Iphone healh app but don't see where it would do that. I am probably not understanding it but I'm looking for something that's easy to use where I can just hit start at the beginning of the walk and stop and the end and get miles walkied. Calories would be a bonus. TIA

I use the under armour “track my walk” app. I like it a lot and it appears to be quite accurate. There are monthly challenges to keep you motivated and if you wish you can upgrade the package for a detailed plan. It’s how I went from walking to running 5ks.
I would only use it every so often, so it just doesn't make sense to pay for it. But the pay one from Under Armour is a possibility if I can't find anything else. The Strava one as well.
You'd be surprised. I almost can't live without it. Tracking all my health stats, getting text messages and emails on my wrist. I will say that this watch has probably saved my *** at work at least a dozen times. When someone needs me, I see it immediately.
I have heard great things about them. I guess I'm a bit diffrent though as I like to get away from emails and calls as much as possible, especially when I'm exercising.
Don't need to subscribe to use the basic functions that you want. I've been using it for years for free.
I'll look again. Everything I saw said either you subscribe or you don't and only the first month of free. Maybe your grandfathered in. I'll look again, though.
I used a couch to 5K app once that was pretty good if you want to work your way into jogging a bit.
Asics Runkeeper has everything you want. It is free and great.
Unless you are wanting exact totals, just measure the length of your step. Time yourself over a measured distance. Then if your walk lasts X minutes, do the math for miles walked and steps. Cheap as you can get. Before Maddie (my boxer dog) died, we used to walk an hour to two hours daily. She loved it and it was good exercise for both of us.
Sometimes she would pick up her leash, walk to the door and turn and look at me as if to say, "Time to go!".

The UA app is free to use. You only pay to upgrade if you want more detailed plans. It tracks miles, calories, steps, time all free
I'm on that as soon as I finish running tin cans and string from my house to every single place I might ever call. Could take a while !
It's free for anyone. We did a staff movement challenge at my job this past summer and everyone got on it for free. Very simple to use. I've been using it free for about 5 or 6 years.
I'm gonna use a few of these that were suggested. Thanks to all. I used the UA app today and it was easy. I liked seeing miles and calories and the ease of starting, stopping and pausing.
Run Tracker...tracks your time/distance, keeps a history, lets you know how far you've walked/run at every half mile (i believe), and shows a gps map of your walk after you stop.
I think you can upgrade to the 'full' version, but all that i mentioned comes with the free version.
