## What is Step And Earn?

Step And Earn turns the walking you already do into a small amount of real money. Your phone counts your steps; every 500 of them is a milestone you can claim for coins.

HOW IT WORKS
• Twenty milestones a day, one every 500 steps up to 10,000
• Claim a milestone for a coin
• Check in daily for 10 coins, and 30 more every seventh day in a row
• Play Furniture Run, a quick arcade jumper, for up to 10 more coins a day
• Cash out to PayPal at 2,000 coins ($2.00), then 5,000 coins ($5.00) after that

YOUR STEPS, FROM YOUR PHONE
Step And Earn reads your daily step count from Apple Health. It only ever reads steps, never writes, and never sends your step count anywhere except your own backed-up copy of your progress. Tracking your steps is always free — the coins are the extra.

DAILY CHECK-IN
Come back each day for 10 coins, and 30 more on every seventh day in a row. Your check-in streak is shown on the home screen and survives until you miss a whole day, rather than resetting at midnight. Checking in plays a short video; if none is available the coins are paid anyway, so a bad connection never costs you your streak.

FURNITURE RUN
A quick retro jumper for when you're not walking. Ten points scores a coin, up to ten coins a day. Game coins need a short video to collect; your score is saved if the video doesn't load, so a failed ad never costs you a run.

YOUR GOAL, AND YOUR WALKING STREAK
A daily step goal taken from your own recent walking rather than a number we picked — set at a figure you already clear on most days, so it is a habit rather than a hurdle. Meet it and your walking streak grows. The progress screen shows your last 7 and 30 days, your best streak, your daily average, and how this week compares with the one before. Change the goal yourself whenever you like.

WALKING EVENTS
A directory of free weekly walks, so there is somewhere to go when you want the steps. Browse by country, search by park or place, then open the organiser's page to sign up or the start in your maps app.

These are parkrun events: we don't run them, we charge nothing, and coverage follows parkrun's — not yet France or Korea.

Neither the events nor your goal and walking streak pay coins. Coins come from the 500-step milestones, the daily check-in and Furniture Run.

EARN HISTORY
Every milestone and every game payout, grouped by day, with your earning streak, how many rewards you've claimed and the coins they earned.

A REMINDER, IF YOU WANT ONE
An optional nudge in the early evening, while there's still time to close the gap. It skips days when you've already claimed every milestone. Off or on any time in Settings, and it only asks permission when you switch it on.

HONEST ABOUT THE MATH
This is a small bonus for moving, not an income. 10 coins equals one cent. Your first payout is 2,000 coins ($2.00), and every payout after it is 5,000 coins ($5.00) — PayPal charges us a fee on every transfer, so fewer, larger payouts keep more of the money with you. A steady walker claiming milestones most days reaches the first payout in about a month, sooner if they check in daily.

ADS
The app is paid for by advertising: a banner at the bottom of the screen, and short videos. A video adds 3-9 bonus coins to a milestone you have already claimed. Claiming a walking milestone never needs one.

Payouts are reviewed before they're sent. PayPal requires account holders to be 18 or over.

No account needed. No sign-up. Just open it and walk.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-21

Fixed: a long video ad could time out while you were still watching it, and the bonus coins it had earned were lost. Sit through the whole ad and the bonus now always arrives.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-01

A GOAL THAT FITS YOU, AND A STREAK FOR KEEPING IT
Step And Earn now sets a daily step goal from your own recent walking,
rather than holding everyone to the same number. Meet it and your walking
streak grows. A new progress screen shows your last 7 and 30 days, your
best streak, your daily average and how this week compares with the last.
You can set the goal yourself in Settings at any time.

The goal and the streak pay no coins — they are there to help you keep
walking. Coins still come from the 500-step milestones, the daily check-in
and Furniture Run.

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-08

REPEAT PAYOUTS NOW START AT $5.00
Your first cash-out is still 2,000 coins ($2.00). Every payout after it now
needs 5,000 coins ($5.00). PayPal charges us a fee on every transfer, and on a
$2.00 payout that fee takes a large share of what is sent — fewer, larger
payouts leave more of the money with you. The cash-out screen explains it
there too.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-08-22

NOW IN JAPANESE, KOREAN AND DUTCH
The whole app, not a part of it. Step And Earn already spoke English, German
and French; it now speaks three more.

EASIER TO USE WITH VOICEOVER
The coin balance in the top bar announced itself as a button that VoiceOver
could then not activate — it offered it, you double-tapped, and nothing
happened. It works now. Its tap target has also grown to the size both
platforms ask for, without the balance itself looking any different.

READABLE AT THE LARGEST TEXT SIZES
At the biggest accessibility text sizes the step count inside the dial grew
past the dial and painted over it. It now scales to fit the circle instead.

MORE OFTEN AN AD, MORE OFTEN A COIN
The banner at the bottom falls back to a second provider when the first has
nothing to show, the same way the rewarded videos already did.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-20

FIXED: A MILESTONE COULD BE MARKED COLLECTED WITHOUT PAYING
If saving your coins failed at the wrong moment, the milestone was marked as collected anyway — so the coins never arrived and there was no way to try
again. That is fixed. Coins are now banked before anything is marked, and a claim that fails leaves the milestone exactly where it was, ready to tap.

Two related fixes: the reveal can no longer celebrate coins that were not actually paid, and a failed claim no longer clears the whole screen. You get a
short message and everything stays where it is.

NEW: A DAILY CHECK-IN
Open the app, watch a short video, take 10 coins. Every seventh day in a row pays 30 more on top. Your streak is shown on the home screen, and it survives
until you miss a whole day rather than expiring at midnight.

NEW: A REMINDER TO FINISH YOUR STEPS
An optional nudge in the early evening, while there is still time to close the gap. It skips days when you have already claimed every milestone, so it should
never tell you to go walking when you already have. Turn it on or off any time under Settings, and it asks for permission only when you switch it on.

YOUR STEP DIAL MOVES WHILE YOU WATCH IT
The dial used to update only when you reopened the app. It now refreshes while the screen is open, so a walk with the phone in your hand shows up as you take
it.

NEW: A WALKTHROUGH WHEN YOU FIRST OPEN THE APP
Three short pages covering what walking pays, what Furniture Run pays, and how your coins turn into real money — so none of it has to be guessed at. If you
already use Step and Earn you will not see it; it is for new walkers.

FIXED: THE GAME'S INSTRUCTIONS WERE INVISIBLE
In light mode, two lines above Furniture Run were drawn in white on a white card — including the one explaining that game coins need an ad. The game now
sits on its own dark panel, so every line is readable in both light and dark.

A CLEARER HOME SCREEN
The step dial now tells you how far away your next coin is, instead of leaving you to work it out from the milestone strip. The strip itself opens on the rung
you can actually claim, rather than at zero. Milestones you have collected, ones you can claim, and ones still locked now look different from each other.

Coin amounts show a real coin. The emoji we used before rendered as a grey smudge at small sizes, in the top bar and throughout your earn history.

The bonus reveal after a rewarded ad is dressed like the rest of the app now, with the number spinning before it lands on what you were paid.

ALSO IN THIS BUILD
Groundwork for a second rewarded-video provider, so that when you tap to watch a video for extra coins, there is more often one available.
