Find Walks Near You, Faster: Inside Go Jauntly’s New App Home and Search

Government data published in 2026 found that the large majority of households in England now have access to a green or blue space within a 15 minute walk.
Whilst that is good news, the harder question is whether people actually know it is there, or what to do with twenty free minutes and a vague sense that a park is nearby.
That is the gap Go Jauntly’s new App are built to close.

The problem with finding a walk

Most walking apps assume you already know where you want to go. In reality, the hardest part of a walk is often the bit before you leave the house: working out what’s actually nearby, guessing which route suits the twenty minutes you’ve got, or trying to remember a walk you bookmarked weeks ago while you were away. Go Jauntly’s previous home screen and search worked, but they put that effort on you, every time, wherever you happened to be.

A new App Home, built around you

The redesigned App Home surfaces personalised content the moment you open the app: your next walk, nearby parks and green spaces, collections curated for your area, and the walks, drafts and downloads you’ve already started. A new “Jump Back In” shortcut takes you straight back to wherever you left off, and walk authors are given more space, so you can follow the routes of people whose taste matches yours.

**Search that understands what you mean**

Search has been rebuilt to handle the way people actually think about walks: by place, by attribute (dog friendly, family friendly), by author, or by what is simply nearby. It is a meaningful step up from keyword matching, and it is designed to surface walks that were always in the app but were previously hard to find.

**Smarter Green Routes, wherever you start**

Go Jauntly's Green Routes use a dynamic, map-based algorithm to build walking routes around parks and larger green spaces across the UK and Ireland. The latest upgrade adds something new: route suggestions that start directly from train stations and bus stops, so you can step off public transport and straight onto a circular green route. This new feature is currently in beta, with more to come. Map colours and highlights have also been refreshed to make green spaces easier to spot at a glance.

**Help us improve**

Our maps are powered by OpenStreetMap, a community-led platform similar to Wikipedia, which means they get better over time with community input. If you spot anything that doesn't look right on a walk, tap the three dots on any walk step and share your feedback. You can also update OpenStreetMap directly yourself.

**A quick note on Premium**

We're a small, self-funded team and keeping the app free matters to us. To make that work, our dynamic, circular Green Routes over 5km (3.1miles) are now moving to Go Jauntly Premium but short walks stay free for everyone, always.

When can you try it

The new App Home and Search are rolling out gradually, starting with iOS at the end June, reaching more of the community over the following days and weeks. Android will follow shortly after. If you open the app and don’t see it yet, it is on its way.
