User reviews

Broken

Original review: Love the design, but we just ended a week with 6 people and different people show different numbers for each other. We even have two different declared winners. What’s the point of competing for steps if it doesn’t display them to each other accurately?

Haven’t seen this problem since, and I do appreciate our data staying on our devices! That’s for the fun app!

Response from developer

Sorry about that!  Because we don't send any of your steps to a central server (or any personal information at all) we rely on the devices syncing their steps, and sometimes, at the last minute in a close competition the winners can be misaligned. Eventually the steps will line up but yeah, it's something I'd like to solve

Been using this every week

We use this for our weekly office steps competition. Works pretty well except when jerks keep changing their names

Fantastic behaviour modifying app

This app has changed they way I think about walking. I now walk with steps in mind.

I have 10x’d my steps in a week.

The app has encouraged me to take double steps, stepping twice with each leg before repeating the maneuver.

Steps

I can’t wait to challenge my friends, once I find some.
