Ever since I downloaded this game, I’ve been motivated to walk. I now average 15-20k steps per day to try and stay on the leaderboard. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your awesome review! :) ### 5/5 — Well. That escalated quickly. *2026-07-29, version v8.4.4* I don’t even know what to say, but I’ll start by saying thank you to the devs of this app. My husband and I both downloaded this app. We are generally sedentary people who tend to talk about fitness and exercise in a very abstract way but never actually do anything about it. We are, unsurprisingly, hugely into video games. Since downloading the app, our conversations frequently are about when we can get out and walk, both together and separate, what we will do in the colder months when it becomes more difficult to walk outside. The co-op quests obligate us—and connect us—to each other in the best way. Today my husband got a pet egg from a quest. I want one too (SO BAD) so I logged 17,000 steps today, which is not something I would have even thought I would ever do unless I somehow got lost in a desert I would certainly never go to. Crossing a fitness app with a type of game that pushes the buttons of people like us who are on average more likely to be sedentary than non-gamers is brilliant, and that the packaging for this particular game is so adorable and enticing only adds to my motivation to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Thank you again, devs! UPDATE (7/29/26): It’s been 3 weeks. I am now averaging 25K steps a day and have been for the past 2 weeks. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but I’ve never stuck with any physical or fitness activity for even a week up until now. I was that kid in school who always seemed to have an excuse note to get out of PE, if you know what I mean. Devs are HIGHLY responsive on Discord. Bugs are fixed extremely quickly. There is no P2W aspect and therefore no reason you would absolutely need to pay money to make full use of this app, but I bought the pioneer pack anyway—not for the rewards but because if I had known the difference the app would make in my daily life, I easily would have considered paying $5 for it upfront to be an amazing bargain. It’s usually hyperbolic when people say “changed my life” but in this case, it’s 1000% true. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-25* This is a really great game that inspires me to walk more every day. Having instant gratification in the form of XP makes walking way more fun! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! ### 5/5 — Best App Ever *2026-07-21* I love this app, literally obsessed! Makes me walk to go for a walk everyday. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words! ### 5/5 — Simple to play but still good *2026-07-19* As the previous reviewer wrote, the game is fairly simple. Not 100 different arbitrary things you need to check. Just set your mission and go. Hope they find a good balance of simplicity and fulfillment (as it relates to making steps feel meaningful) as the game continues to develop. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! Balance is definitely key :D ### 5/5 — Steps Tracker meets Gamer *2026-07-19* This is by far the most entertaining and simple app I’ve tried to track my steps. I got my boyfriend and I to download it together and now we “adventure together”. As a gamer the aesthetic is perfect and I love the pixel art. **Developer response:** Thank you for your amazing review :D I’m glad! ### 5/5 — Pretty Good *2026-07-18, version v8.3.3* I like it, it’s nice and simple, just wish there were some more features to it. Maybe dungeons with floors per steps and a boss per level? Also an ability to fight others would be cool. This is still being updated however so I’m looking forward to seeing what gets added. ### 5/5 — Well. That escalated quickly. *2026-07-14, version v8.3.0* I don’t even know what to say, but I’ll start by saying thank you to the devs of this app. My husband and I both downloaded this app. We are generally sedentary people who tend to talk about fitness and exercise in a very abstract way but never actually do anything about it.

Thank you again, devs! ### 5/5 — Me and my bro Brad love it *2026-07-12, version v8.3.0* Tylerdrury is my name BRAD is my friend we’re played a few days and love walking , would love if you introduced a visual map for our adventures together or something , it has great potential , would recommend glad we here early on ### 5/5 — Wow for walking *2026-07-11* It’s like world of Warcraft and walking had a baby. I’m happy and love this game. The devs are sweet and active and always improving the game **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! :D ## Frequently asked questions about SideQuest ### Does SideQuest have ads?
