What's New in Simply Step

1.038

July 4, 2026

Smarter neighborhoods on the Tiles map — and a livelier walking buddy. - Neighborhood names are now far more accurate — no more tiles labeled with a district from a mile away. - Neighborhoods now have real shapes, so "% explored" reflects the area you're actually walking. - New places map themselves: arrive somewhere uncharted and the neighborhood fills in about a minute later — for you and every walker after you. - Your map character now starts and stops walking with your real steps, indoors and out. - Faster, more reliable neighborhood loading.

Makes walking more fun!

I’ve been really enjoying this app! It makes staying active feel a lot more fun. My favorite thing about the app is being able to create my own avatar and customize it with different outfits. I also love that you can add your friends and see their avatars too, it just makes everything more interactive and motivating. It’s a cute and creative way to stay on track with my daily steps. Definitely recommend to give it a try!

Sync issues that are frustrating and stamp collecting glitches

It only shows one of me now. That said I lost 2/3 of my streak. I should be well over 100 days of meeting my goal of 10,000 steps… it only shows 42. There are days where I have to push to meet that goal. To just have over half of it disappear is a bummer.

This dev seems committed to excellence. I was happy to pay for the lifetime option. I look forward to watching where this app goes from here. I hope it proves to be worth it for the dev. I added a star as it is better than ever.

Old review:
I like the app very much. Syncing is a problem… there are 2 BuffaloJohn players and duplicates for other players. Stats also often don’t show up as I scroll down. The weekly stat are usually blank as an example. I even resync to cloud… it only shows stats for current day.

Great potential but a lot of bugs.

Was this fixed in the latest update? If not kindly Email us.

Nice. Sigh

Lovely little app. But my inclination to $$$ was thwarted by the inability to set a Monday start date. Really hits ya in the face when you’re looking at this week’s stats on Monday, & seeing a 20k+ figure cuz it includes Sunday. I know this app is “minimal” but, dang, there’s a reason virtually all competitors offer this option: it’s BASIC stuff. Oh well. Sadly, deleted.

Nah go ahead and download it back. I’ll add it 😂😂. Join the discord if you have features you want added. I never thought it was something people cared about.

This stupid app doesn’t even work

This stupid app doesn’t even work. I try to walk and it wouldn’t work correctly and stuff. Don’t know if I was doing it wrong, but I’m pretty sure I was doing it all correctly but it’s very stupid. Don’t get this app.

Response from developer

Did you Turn on Health permission and Pedometer tracking? That could be why. If you did all that and you stand up and walk a few steps it starts moving.

The app was better when it was first released

The character of the bunny was very nice when the app first launched . This change of characters are not very nice and discourages from using it

Appreciate your feedback.
