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 • Watch an optional short video for 3-9 bonus coins on any milestone • 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 once you reach 2,000 coins ($2.00) 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 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. EARN HISTORY Every milestone and every game payout, grouped by day, with your 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, and payouts start at 2,000 coins ($2.00). A steady walker claiming milestones most days reaches the first payout in about a month, sooner if they check in daily. Watching a video is always optional — you never have to see an ad to earn from walking. 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 4 releases) ### 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. ### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-12 EARN HISTORY Every milestone you've claimed and every game payout, now in one place. Open it from the history icon in the top bar to see what you earned and when, grouped by day, with your streak and running totals. The rewarded-ad bonus now pays 3-9 coins instead of a flat 4, and the amount is revealed as it lands. Plus a substantial rebuild under the hood: steps, milestones and the coin balance are now handled by the same foundation as the rest of our apps, which makes them more reliable and means fixes reach you faster. SETTINGS, AND DELETING YOUR DATA There's a Settings screen now. It has the privacy policy, and a way to delete everything we hold about you — your coins, your history and your account — in one tap plus a confirmation. Records of payouts you've already requested are kept for tax and fraud reasons; the app tells you that before you confirm. GETTING HELP Settings also has a contact form. Tell us what went wrong and we'll reply by email — your app version and account id are attached automatically, and shown to you before you send, so we can look up a missing payout without a dozen questions first. ### 1.0 — 2026-06-26 No release notes. ## More apps by Illumination Development, L.L.C. - [Community Stress First Aid](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/community-stress-first-aid/id466283645) - [Krupnik & Speas](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/krupnik-and-speas/id1145161050) - [Daily: Learn And Earn](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/daily-learn-and-earn/id6784508839) - [Play And Earn](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/play-and-earn/id6792625951) - [Todo And Earn](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/todo-and-earn/id6794974382) All apps by Illumination Development, L.L.C.: https://appshunter.io/developer/347689003 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
