## What is Play Steps?

Harmless taunting between friends has been scientifically proven to motivate people to become more active. Ok maybe not, but that's the big idea behind Steps — weaving a fitness thread into a snappy, colourful design

Why?
Simple
Beautiful
Fun
Privacy for your data 

What?
Compete against friends with step data from the Apple Health app.

START A GAME
Starting and joining a game is the easiest thing in the world. No sign-up required, just join via a link or send a link to your friends

Each game starts from Monday 12AM to Sunday 5PM in your local time. The single app screen displays the tallied steps of participants up to that point of the week

GET TAUNTING
There are two ways to taunt others:
 1. Set your player name to whatever you want, or choose an amusing randomly generated name, or even change it so often that your friends don’t see it coming
 2. Share the leaderboard with your friends. Whether you’re at the top, middle, or bottom of the leaderboard, you get a randomly generated message tailored to your position

## Key features

- Step tracking via Apple Health
- Friendly competition with friends
- In-game taunting messages
- Easy game creation and joining
- Weekly step leaderboards
- No sign-up required

### 5/5 — Broken

*2020-03-11*

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!

**Developer response:** 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

### 5/5 — Been using this every week

*2018-12-19, version 1.0.2*

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

### 5/5 — Fantastic behaviour modifying app

*2018-12-18, version 1.0.2*

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.

### 5/5 — Steps

*2018-11-28, version 1.0*

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