## What is APEX?

Build momentum in three days with one simple routine: walk more and drink more water.

APEX combines daily step goals, water tracking, progress and accountability in a guided 3-Day Walk + Water Challenge. Walk solo or join a team, track your day, and build a habit you can keep.

THREE DAYS. TWO GOALS A DAY.
Most challenges want a month before you feel anything. This one asks for three days. You get a step goal and a water goal sized to you, and one screen that shows exactly how close you are to both.

WALK, AND WATCH IT COUNT
- A daily step goal, tracked for you
- Steps from Apple Health, or straight from your phone if you would rather not connect anything
- Live stats while you walk: steps, pace, cadence and elevation
- Your route on the map when you want to see where you went

WATER, THE HALF EVERYONE SKIPS
- A daily water goal you can actually hit
- One tap per glass
- Water and steps side by side, so a good day is obvious at a glance

BETTER TOGETHER
- Teams of two to four
- A team leaderboard that moves as you walk
- Group chat with your team
- Invite someone by text or share your team to your Stories

FINISH DAY 3, THEN KEEP GOING
Rounds repeat, so a finish is a starting point rather than an ending. Streaks, levels and your own history carry forward, and your team's progress carries with them.

MORE, WHEN YOU WANT IT
An optional upgrade adds meal ideas with a food scanner, plus at-home workouts and stretching routines. The initial 3-day challenge is available before the optional membership decision.

PRIVACY

• Track your daily steps and water on one screen
• Walk solo, or on a team of up to four

• Daily protein, carb, fat and calorie targets, and a log for the day
• Meal ideas with the ingredients and the method

### 1.0.11 — 2026-08-14

Teams are here.

Walk & Water is better with someone. Now you can walk it with 2–4 women — join a team, start your own, or keep walking solo. All three are real choices, and you pick once at the start of each round.

On a team, everybody's day counts the same. Nobody gets carried, nobody gets left behind.

• A team card showing how your whole team is doing today
• Share your team invite by text or straight to your stories
• Keep going after your 3 days with a monthly membership

Your walks just got a major upgrade

• LIVE walk stats — see your steps, pace (cadence), and elevation gain in real time while you walk, straight from your phone's motion sensors. No watch or wearable needed.
• Instant start & stop — no more waiting for GPS when you tap Start Walk.
• Smarter step tracking — steps now come straight from your iPhone's built-in step counter, so your daily count shows up even without Apple Health setup.
• More accurate distance — walks with the screen locked now recover their full distance.
• Finished walks look better than ever with improved route maps and share cards.
• Fixed a crash some users hit when starting a walk.
• Reliability and performance improvements throughout.
