User reviews

Yay another subscription!

I can’t believe this corny little app is subscription based. Everything’s a subscription. I hate these greedy developers so much.

bro

if you’re going to make an app pay to use then at least make that clear before someone downloads the app

Nice app but sometimes streaks end in error

I enjoy using this app but I have come to open it twice and it tells me I’ve lost me streak. I had fed my pet the day before and had a full streak yesterday evening but this morning my pet is sick and my streak has gone? Not sure why this is.

Does the job

I like it a lot. I’ve been able to really improve my daily step count since purchasing. I don’t mind having to hit the action buttons to care for the pet since it’s very nostalgic of tamagotchis. I only wish there were more pet/animal options.

Super cool app and fantastic support team

Really great app for keeping motivated to walk - even if there is days i have to lower the goal slightly! Not only that but I had an error in my app that caused me to lose my pet Riku but the support team were more than happy to be back and forth over email for a couple of days until all was fixed and I got my pet back! Time to get walking! Thanks StepPals!
