Needs Improvement
The first is that it isn’t as well connected to the pedometer on my phone/Apple Watch that reflects my actual step count. So, I will surpass my daily goal, continuously close and reopen the app to reward my pet with it’s final treat and it still doesn’t show that I’ve met the daily goal to keep my pet happy and healthy.
Also, the biggest issue I have is that I have to manually “tend” to my pet regardless of how many steps I get. For example, I walk a lot sometimes and in a day that I got 18k+ steps, when my daily goal is much less, simply because I was too busy working or forgot to open the app to “feed” “water”, “clean” etc. my pet, it says “your pet it sick because you didn’t reach your daily step goal” which is absolutely not accurate.
I would love to give this app another try in the future, but paying monthly for something that’s not intuitive and makes me feel bad for forgetting to simply open the app and click buttons even though I hit and surpassed my step goal just ain’t it for me.
NOT FREE

Hi there! We are so glad you like the concept!! We’re a small team building StepPals to make daily steps fun and help people get healthier. We understand if $2.99/week or $9.99/month isn't in your budget, but ratings really impact small teams like ours. If the only downside for you is that it isn’t free, please consider reflecting your experience in the reviews have a big impact on us. Appreciate you!

Wish you could put it as a widgets
Response from developer
Hey glad to hear you are enjoying StepPals!! We actually have that feature rolling out in the very near future so keep an eye out for that :) We take all the feedback we get and work hard to make sure everyone is having the best possible experience! Maybe once you get your widget you'd consider upgrading to a 5 star review? ;)
Need to pay for this . No thanks
Response from developer
Hey there! You do have to start a subscription to access the free trial! However you are not charged until the end of the free trial and are free to cancel whenever before that time! We charge a small fee to use the app because we need to fund development and avoid ad spamming like you may have noticed in many other apps! We also feel a small fee adds a little bit of accountability and incentive to keep your pet alive! :)
Not worth the money
Response from developer
Hey there! Once you've reached your step goals for the day you do need to remember to open the app and feed / take care of your pet! Once you've done so your poor dinosaur will be very happy I'm sure! :)
Subscription
Response from developer
We use a subscription to fund development, keep your data private, and avoid ads. It also builds accountability when people invest a little, they’re more consistent. There’s a free trial to see if it’s a fit.
Not free. But that’s the point!
Anyways love this app!
Response from developer

Great app! I use it daily
Trying to keep Snookie alive!
Yes there’s a price for the app because people don’t want to work for free but it ain’t that bad, quit crying.
Response from developer
Thank you for the thoughtful review!! StepPals is built to help active people stay moving, even with a desk job. We appreciate your support and can’t wait to see Snookie power your streaks! 🐾
The cutest app ever!
Doesn’t work
Response from developer
Hi there! StepPals does work! To keep your pet healthy, you need to hit your daily step goal and take care of them: feed and water them, clean up after them, and give their daily treat! If you only hit your steps but skip care, your pet will get sick. This is by design! StepPals is a walking accountability game designed to help you build the habit of reaching your steps goals. So don't forget to care for your pet as well! :) If you have questions, please email us. We are happy to help! (If this helped, please update your review, thanks!)
Not free
Response from developer
Hi there, Yes StepPals is not free, it costs less than a coffee a week! We are small team that is working hard to help people reach their daily step goals. We totally understand if it isn't in your budget. All the best!
