### 4/5 — Simple and fun

*2026-06-08*

I’m always (ALWAYS) looking for a game that gamifies life. 

NO app has yet managed to bridge the gap between life and games in a way which is intuitive, simple and fun. 

This game gets so very close. It does soooooo much right! Apple Watch support, no in app payments, unlockable. 

Id lovely to see the ability to upgrade the existing items instead of planting new seeds repeatedly. 

A challenge list with achievements to unlock would also be cool, like a gardening book of sorts. 

Walk one milks unlock the “adventure badge”. Plants one of every flower to unlock the “green finger badge”

You get the idea.

### 4/5 — So satisfying 😌

*2024-10-28*

Absolutely love this app so far! It’s very satisfying to see my garden grow and i love the pixilated art style/cute animations. It feels so nostalgic 🥰. I only wish that there was a way to flip/mirror items to further customize the space - 
A gem of an app

**Developer response:** Hi ChazLaraz,
Thank you so much for your review! It means the world to us.

Kind regards,
Seele Games

### 4/5 — Out of sync

*2024-09-03*

My apple watch app and phone app are out of sync. No matter what I do I couldn't figure it out. Even deleted my phone app and cloud data for the game and started over, but still out of sync. Good game without that issue though.

**Developer response:** Hello fangirldisaster,
Thank you for your review!

### 3/5 — Cute but Glitchy

*2024-08-07*

I really enjoy the app and the graphics are super cute, but it is very glitchy and I have lost a lot of items and progress due to this. I emailed support months ago and they were initially very lovely but dropped off and ultimately never resolved the issue. I was at level 30 and unfortunately had to delete the app and start from scratch because of issues with items not installing which meant I was unable to progress. It would also randomly delete items from my inventory that I purchased and delete items from my garden. This was particularly disappointing if the item was a 30k step item that took me a few days to earn. Overall a cute app, but not one I would recommend because of the bugs.

**Developer response:** Hello TrueTroupe,
Thank you for your review!
Could you send us an email at seele.games @ gmail.com with your devices and OS infos?

### 4/5 — Love it but..

*2024-05-01*

I love this pedometer app, I think it’s perfect for someone like me who needs to walk more and even when I don’t, I like arranging my garden and levelling up. Perfect calming game and well worth the money. Only issue is I feel like the rotation of shop items isn’t large enough and find myself seeing the same items over and over, would love more items to be added to the game as I have so many steps saved up but feel bored by the items on offer.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your kind feedbacks!

### 5/5 — Sehr süßer Schrittzähler

*2024-01-25*

Habe die App schon seit einer Weile und find die echt super. Mit schritten seinen eigenen kleinen Garten bauen. Auch der pixelstil ist sehr ansprechend. Wünschte nur es gäbe öfter Updates mit neuen Tieren/objekten. Auch kleine Gebäude würde ich ganz gut finden.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für deine Bewertung! Das bedeutet uns viel. Keine Sorge, wir haben in Zukunft noch mehr vorbereitet.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Cant sync

*2024-01-23*

Won’t synchronize with watch. Now it won’t delete from the watch app so I can’t reinstall on my watch :(

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your review. Could you send us an email at seele.games@gmail.com and tell us which WatchOS and Apple Watch you are using? We'll look at that issue ASAP.
Kind Regards,
Seele Games

### 2/5 — Plot size locked still

*2023-12-20*

Since the game’s launch the  area to plant your garden has remained the same for us…this last update indicated that area expanded a tiny bit, maybe enough to plant one more row. Our world trees are leveled into the 40s and 50s but our planting area does not grow. 

We love the concept of the game and appreciate some new stuff in the shop to buy with our steps, but only having a tiny window to plant in is frustrating.

**Developer response:** Hello BSpooky,
First, thank you for your review. We've increased the size of the Garden and provided new items but we're sorry to hear that the area still feels frustrating to you.
If you don't mind, could you please send us an email at seele.games@gmail.com so that we get feedbacks from you and work on improvements for next release?
Kinds Regards,

Seele Games

### 5/5 — Love! Except expansion

*2023-12-19*

To start, I want to say this is my favorite app and has been since I downloaded it earlier this year. It’s been an absolute joy expanding/growing my garden and has been good motivation with half marathon training, especially since leveling up now requires so many steps.

I’ve never had a complaint until now - I’ve been growing my garden towards the lake/body of water. I was so excited for my garden to grow into that space since I thought it would come with a whole new set of water-based garden items and animals (fish, turtles, etc) to buy. 

However, I was disappointed to find that instead of overlapping the water features, my garden now protrudes into the water quite unnaturally. I also love the water elements throughout the overall world so it seems a shame that eventually my garden will completely get rid of them to be one big stretch of grass. I’m assuming this is the intention of the designers rather than a specific blip in my game since everything else seems to be working perfectly. If so, please reconsider and introduce water elements to the game!

**Developer response:** Hello !
First, thank you so much for your review! It means a lot to us.
Thank you also for your feedbacks regarding the expansion. We're working on improvements regarding this topic.

Kind Regards,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Great game

*2023-11-01*

This is a great way to get you motivated to take a few steps and see what you can grow.

**Developer response:** Hello Gowitha,
Thank you so much for your review! We are happy to see that you enjoy Pixsteps.

### 5/5 — Super entspannend

*2023-10-10*

Ein Spiel das zum Laufen anregt und trotzdem  von der ganzen Aufmachung etwas super entspannendes hat. Also alles in allem gut gelungen. Eine Frage bleibt aber, was ist wenn der Garten voll ist? Danke

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Das bedeutet viel für ein kleines Team wie unseres. Um Ihre Frage zu beantworten, der Garten vergrößert sich, wenn Sie ein neues Level erreichen. Wir denken auch über alternative Möglichkeiten nach, ihn in Zukunft zu erweitern.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Perfect pedometer paradise

*2023-09-16*

I’ve been looking for a pedometer themed game for a while and nothing quite met my needs. This is perfect! It’s adorable, it’s fun, and it’s functional! Worth way more than the asking price.

**Developer response:** Hello The Velcromancer,
Thank you for your kind review! It means a lot to us.
We hope you'll like what we got in store for you with our upcoming updates.
Kind Regards,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Fantastic! I have a request

*2023-08-31*

This is an adorable game. I love the idea of a cozy pedometer game where I don’t have to fight anything or “level” a character. Also, I love arranging my items around my tree. 

One request! I know this is a very small developer team so you might be a long way away from something like this, but it would be so cool if it switched to night time at night so I could see my map in the dark with my campfire lit up. That would be awesome. 

Anyway. Love the game and the art is so cute

**Developer response:** Hi Castihell!
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are very happy to see that you enjoy Pixsteps. Your idea is also very interesting. Like you guessed, it might take a long time but we'll definitely see what we can do regarding this!

Seele Games

### 5/5 — Love it! 11/10 would recommend

*2023-08-20*

Love the app! Gives me nostalgic vibes from games like animal crossing and Stardew valley. The only mild issue I’ve had is that on the Apple Watch app things don’t seem to click properly (I’ll try to click a flower on the right side of my garden while zoomed in on it and it will click an apple tree all the way on the left side of my garden off screen). But that’s a minor issue and doesn’t impact the fun at all. If you need motivation to get your steps in I recommend trying this app

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We are currently working on a patch to correct those issues.
Kind Regards,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — So underrated!

*2023-07-19*

Honestly I was very skeptical at first but got it to support women in STEM and the gaming industry, and have fallen in love with it!

I have a Fitbit as well, so it’s given me a way to have fun while working out even if it doesn’t count the same amount my Fitbit tracks, but either way I love my garden and my animals that come along with it, and the steps being the currency really does make you want to walk more to unlock the items and to build your garden.

Highly recommend if you’re wanting to have a cute way to track your daily steps and workouts!

**Developer response:** Hello Angel Eevee,
Thank you so much for your review! It means a lot to us.
We are currently working on a slate of new updates so stay tuned for new content.

Seele Games

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-28*

This never worked for me. Most of my job is walking around, but every single day I logged in to this app it always said 0 steps when in fact I would had ben walking all day (with Apple Watch + phone with me). I don’t usually leave reviews, but I feel I had to as I've waisted my money in something that doesn’t work.

**Developer response:** Hello Lolo9490,
We apologize for the issue you are encoutering.
Could you please reach out to us at seele.games@gmail.com and tell us which OS and iPhone you are using?
We'll look into the issue ASAP.

### 1/5 — Was loving this game until I found a delete bug

*2023-10-08*

There should be an option to “bank” items you don’t want to use for the time being. Instead there’s only a delete function. But the game also doesn’t seem to be able to click in the proper places, sometimes you’ll click an item and something else will be clicked instead.

Well, don’t you know I clicked on a sunflower to delete it (it was nowhere near other items, it was off in the corner of the map) and when I hit delete, my master sword was deleted instead. I was upset and thought I must have made the mistake myself, until I tried it again and my gazebo was deleted.

Over 40,000 steps wasted all for nothing. Now I don’t even want to keep playing because I can’t trust that anything I put on the map will be able to be properly delete.

At least if there was a “bank” function you could remove items and place them back if the wrong thing got removed by accident.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for the bugs you are experiencing. We are currently working on a patch to correct those issues (and indeed the bank sounds like an interesting idea)
Kind Regards,
Seele Games

Заходит в игру, потом возникают проблемы, нет выбора инструментов, зависает (iPhone 11)

### 1/5 — Did not track my steps :(

*2023-07-05*

I will update my review if this gets fixed, but I am really disappointed. I went for a walk, phone in pocket and Apple Watch on wrist (with the app opened already because I wanted to see what it looked like on the watch!), and at the end of the walk it said I had 0 steps still. So frustrating! I opened my pedometer app and it tracked the steps. Tried closing and reopening the app and it still says 0 steps. As of now I wasted my money.

**Developer response:** Hello!
We apologize for the bugs you're encountering. If you don't mind, could you send us an email at seele.games@gmail.com so that we can have a closer look at your issues?

### 1/5 — Broken

*2023-06-22*

Game is broken, will not sync to health app or show any items

**Developer response:** Hello Savanimals,

If that's possible, could you send us an email at seele.games@gmail.com so we can have a deeper look at your issue?
Thank you for your patience,

### 5/5 — Fun and Cute

*2025-09-19*

Love the art style and the one time buy feature. Helps keep me engaged with walking. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Nearly Perfect

*2025-07-01, version 1.0.3*

I love this game. Ever since I was recommended it 5 months back i’ve been constantly monitoring my garden to make it as nice as possible. There are hardly any things i’d like to see change as it’s nearly perfect. Though a couple minor issues would be that I do get the occasional miscalculation of my steps, so I sometimes lose out on them, though it rarely happens. Besides that, my only annoyance i find is the lack of expansion per level up of the world tree. My world tree is only level 37, but I have a lot of placed things since i monitor the app so frequently as to not miss out on steps for new purchases. Because of this, i find myself completely cramped up in my world. Struggling to make space despite efforts to organise my garden. Hopefully, the developers increase the expansion rate per level. However, despite this, I adore this game and would highly recommend anyone who’s interested in walking or trying to find purpose in getting out and about for some light exercise. So thank you development team :3

### 5/5 — Beautiful way to make us move

*2025-06-15*

I’m in love with the game! But I must point that there’s a problem with the counting of steps to the newly planted seeds… maybe if you register the step in which the new thing was added to the garden and calculate the difference between the present step and the step when the object was added… I don’t know. The cheap things are ok, but the expensive ones do frustrate me. I do recommend the app anyway! It’s beautiful and to see the new things being added one by one makes the effort worthwhile!

### 5/5 — Love this game!

*2025-06-10*

It’s the only app I’ve tried that actually motivates me to walk. I love seeing my little garden grow! 💜

### 5/5 — Top mais

*2025-04-09*

Super application mais aucunes mise à jour

### 5/5 — Cutest app ever !

*2025-01-03*

This game is so adorable and immediately encouraged me to start walking, I went and told my friends and they love it too! 
We really wish there was a feature where we could be friends in app and track each other’s progress/visit each other’s gardens, that would be that much more encouraging, cute and maybe even add a little competition ;). 
I hope you take this addition into concideration! Otherwise amazing app and concept thank you!

### 5/5 — Приложение очень хорошее

*2024-11-21*

Очень классное, но есть маленькая проблема. Не могу понять это только у меня или нет, но, когда расширяется карта, то исчезают реки 😭 Можно их как то оставить?

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте,
Большое спасибо за ваш отзыв!
Извините за возникшую проблему. Не могли бы вы написать нам на почту seele.games@gmail.com, чтобы мы могли разобраться с этой ошибкой?

С уважением,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Klasse

*2024-09-15*

Ich schreibe eigentlich kaum Rezensionen, aber hier finde ich das schon richtig. Es ist ein furchtbar süßes Spiel, worauf man sich nach dem Laufen freut. Es hat so viel Potenzial und ich hoffe da kommt noch so einiges und dass es noch weiter entwickelt wird. Schön wäre es wenn man auch Freunde einladen könnte. Andere Sport Apps Hersteller könnten sich von dieser App eine Scheibe abschneiden mit der Integration dass man Spiel nebenbei hat ist es klasse

**Developer response:** Hallo Alu sanchéz
Vielen Dank für deine nette Bewertung! Als kleines Team bedeuten uns solche Rückmeldungen sehr viel.

Liebe Grüße,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Fun game! But needs more for long term users

*2024-04-16*

This is fun. I love that it’s not linked to GIS or the internet to use. The triple use of steps makes them awesome and a good incentive. 

But… the end game has come too soon. I’m level 53 and the middle store item is the only one with options. It will stop soon as well, I’m sure. 

I’ve been playing almost a full year. Please, more pets and plants!

**Developer response:** Hello Paint Scribe,
Thank you so much for your feedbacks! 
Kind Regards,
Seele Games

### 5/5 — Super

*2024-02-01*

Am Anfang hat es leider nicht funtkioniert, aber die Entwickler sind immer dabei und haben es geschafft, sodass auch ich meinen Garten pflegen kann. Wirklich top als Nebensache zum spazieren gehen mit dem Hund. 👍🏻👍🏻 Gefällt mir wirklich gut
