I’m so happy you’re enjoying Journey. It took months to build, so hearing that it adds a whole new dimension to the app really means a lot. Thanks for walking with me! 💜 Best, Malte ### 5/5 — Richtig süße App *2026-07-08* Mit viel Liebe gestaltet, so macht Schritte zählen deutlich mehr Spaß. Auch mit Widgets für den schnellen Blick aufs Phone. Danke für diese tolle App! **Developer response:** Danke für deine tolle Rezension. So schön, dass dir auffällt wie viel Zeit und Hirnschmalz in jeden Bereich der App geflossen ist 💜 Walk on! Beste Grüße Malte ### 5/5 — Tolle App 🤩 *2026-07-06* Dass diese App mit Liebe zum Detail stetig wächst und sich weiterentwickelt, merkt man sofort. Mir bringt sie im Alltag echt viel Freude und sorgt dafür, dass ich genauer darauf achte, mich ausreichend zu bewegen, denn ich möchte ja unbedingt die kleinen Beasts sammeln, die einfach unendlich süß sind. 🥰 Ich finds aber auch toll, dass man selbst die Schrittzahl anpassen kann, selbst am aktuellen Tag noch. Wenn man also krankheitsbedingt oder auf Grund von Arbeit etc. nicht dazu kommt, sich ausreichend zu bewegen, hat man trotzdem eine Chance, sein Beast zu sammeln. Das ist toll. Einfach Eigenverantwortung, die gefördert wird. Die meisten Apps erzeugen nur Druck, das ist hier gar nicht der Fall und hebt sich damit deutlich von der Masse ab. 🙏 Mit dem letzten großen Update kam noch die Journey dazu, die ich genauso toll und motivierend finde. Noch dazu kann man ein paar interessante Infos sammeln. Ich liebs einfach! ❤️ Danke für diese tolle App! Ich würde mehr Sterne geben, wenn es denn ginge. 😏 Vielleicht könnte man in Zukunft noch die Möglichkeit schaffen, sich mit Freunden zu verbinden? Meine Freundin und ich nutzen die App beide und fänden das sehr cool. 🙋‍♀️ **Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank für diese wunderbare Rezension! 💜 Es freut mich riesig, dass genau die entspannte Motivation und die Liebe zum Detail bei dir ankommen. Das Thema mit Freund:innen verbinden habe ich schon auf der Liste, aber das wird sicher noch dauern da es ein wenig umfangreicher ist 🤩 Beste Grüße Malte ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-07-04, version 1.4.0* I love getting all of the little beasties every day! #lovetohatch ### 5/5 — Fun! *2026-07-04* Fun app that’s continuously being built and expanded! Keeps me motivated to keep walking and meeting my goal everyday! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! I’m really happy the app keeps you motivated every day. And yes, I’m always working on new things to make Steps & Beasts even better. Best, Malte ### 5/5 — Adorable *2026-07-03, version 1.4.0* I love this app. It’s so cute and motivating! ### 5/5 — Jessy *2026-07-02, version 1.3.14* Absolutely fantastic app makes you want to actually walk ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this app *2026-07-01, version 1.3.14* I am loving this app it is a great motivator the creatures are so adorable, I’m using the paid version and it’s worth every penny. We are now using it as a family other family member aren’t using the paid version but are still really enjoying the creatures. ### 5/5 — Makes moving more fun *2026-06-20, version 1.3.14* I love this app! The ability to collect little mini bears every time I reach my step goal is a great reward and motivation to keep moving x ### 5/5 — Cute but not accurate *2026-05-23* This is such a cute idea but it’s not accurate, doesn’t sync all steps. Can’t find where to add sources. **Developer response:** Hi there, thank you for taking the time to review. Can you please send me an email so we can find out what the issue is? :) Mail address is malte@stepsandbeasts.app Thank you 💜 ### 5/5 — Coolest app ever! *2026-05-18* This is the most motivational app ever. The beasts are so adorable and I get excited every time I hatch an egg. I have even gone on a few pre-bedtime walks around the block just to meet my new beasty friend. **Developer response:** Thank you so much! Reading that you’re going on little walks around the block before bed just to hatch your next Beast makes me incredibly happy. That kind of extra motivation is exactly why I created the app. Enjoy meeting your new beasty friends 😊 Best, Malte ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-05-07, version 1.3.14* Such a great app! I hated walking but this literally got me addicted to it😂 I’m obsessed with collecting the beasts ♥️ you need this ### 5/5 — Turning Daily Steps Into a Fun Adventure *2026-05-04, version 1.3.14* Steps and Beasts is a fun and motivating step tracker that turns daily walking into a game. By linking your steps to collecting and growing cute beasts, it makes staying active feel rewarding rather than routine. The app is easy to use, visually charming, and does a great job of encouraging consistency without pressure. It’s a great choice for anyone who wants a simple step counter with a playful twist that keeps you coming back every day. ### 5/5 — Cute and helps keep me active *2026-05-02* I love this app! Very cool that it’s free but you can upgrade for perks. I love checking to see what creature I will get each day. They remind me of digital Pokémon cards! Gotta collect them all! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! I’m really glad you’re enjoying the daily surprise and the collecting aspect - that’s exactly the fun I hoped to create. Happy collecting and thanks for being part of it! Best, Malte ### 5/5 — Motivationschub *2026-05-01* Ich mag die App sehr gern. Sie gibt einem Motivation, sich zu bewegen. Bringt aber auch Nostalgie mit, da sie mich an meine „Pokémon - Zeiten“ erinnert und ich möchte die knuddeligen Beats alle „schnappen“ **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein schönes Feedback! Es freut mich sehr, dass die App dir dieses Gefühl von früher gibt und den Sammelspaß wieder aufleben lässt. Genau diese Mischung wollte ich schaffen. Viel Spaß weiterhin beim Sammeln! Beste Grüße Malte ### 5/5 — I love little animals *2026-04-29, version 1.3.14* This is such a cute way to get your goals done. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI SLOP *2026-06-09, version 1.3.14* was looking forward to seeing the art but quickly realized it was all ai. i like the app but id rather use one that doesn’t destroy the earth instead of paying artists. lazy. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-04-27, version 1.3.14* Really wanted to try this but requires a paid membership. No where on the main page does it mention this. I hate slippery false advertising like this. If you charge a fee be upfront then maybe I would have paid for it. Interested peeps beware ### 1/5 — Es ist so mittel *2025-07-25, version 1.3.6* Man bekommt so oft das gleiche Wesen ### 1/5 — Little fun while jogging *2025-07-13, version 1.3.6* It’s cute to reward a little but while exercising Change my review since I forgot to collect the 4 previous eggs and the app updated and end up I broke my over 100 days streak and now it’s not fun anymore. It should compensate me for my eggs and streak ### 1/5 — Trotz aller Freigaben kein starten der App möglich *2025-05-16* Mach 20 Minuten habe ich aufgegeben. Dann halt ohne App Schade wollte die Voll Version kaufen. **Developer response:** Moin, der Fehler ist nun behoben. Probiere es gerne noch einmal aus. Falls alles funktioniert wäre ich dir sehr dankbar, wenn du die Bewertung anpasst. Danke. Solltest du weiterhin Probleme haben, melde dich bitte per E-Mail an malte@stepsandbeasts.app - Beste Grüße, Malte ### 1/5 — This developer asked me to try this out. Then charged me for a year *2025-01-16, version 1.1.4* I feel I was scammed. ### 1/5 — AI art, nothing special *2024-10-21, version 1.0.1* All of the art appears to be AI generated and fairly repetitive. Game mechanics aren’t very fleshed out, if you’re serious about getting 10k steps a day you’ll wrap this up rather quickly. ### 3/5 — Nette Idee, aber… *2025-08-20* Die App ist eine nette Idee, aber dass selbst in der Bezahlversion, also Pro, immer und immer wieder die gleichen Figuren als „Belohnung“ bekommt. Beispiel: in den letzten 5 Tagen wechseln sich zwei Fuguren ab, neue gibt es keine. Ich bezahle aber jeden Monat dafür. **Developer response:** Hallo :) ich verstehe deinen Unmut und denke bereits über eine Verbesserung der Mechanik nach. Außerdem gibt es bald neue “Beasts”. Wenn du Lust hast dir gemeinsam Gedanken über Verbesserungen zu machen melde dich gern per Email bei mir: malte@StepsAndBeasts.app - Liebe Grüße, Malte ### 4/5 — Satisfying *2026-08-13* I am thoroughly enjoying the hatching/collecting mechanic. I do think that there needs to be more buying options then clothes (hair, accessories, etc.), and an add friend option ### 4/5 — Ich liebe diese App! *2026-07-07* Ich habe diese App schon eine ganze Weile und liebe alles daran! Mit dem neuen Update jetzt ist es nochmal schöner. Leider aktualisiert mein Widget nicht mehr, was ich sehr schade finde. **Developer response:** Vielen lieben Dank für dein schönes Feedback! Es freut mich sehr, dass dir Steps & Beasts schon so lange gefällt und das neue Update die App für dich noch schöner gemacht hat. Wegen des Widgets: Versuch am besten einmal, dein iPhone neu zu starten. Dadurch sollte die Widget-Aktualisierung wieder angestoßen werden. Bitte prüfe auch, ob der Energiesparmodus deaktiviert ist, da dieser Widget-Updates einschränken kann. Beste Grüße Malte ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfekt für die Streaks! *2026-08-24* Tolle Gamification um die Schritte zu zählen und Konsistenz zu bekommen um das Ziel und die Streak vom Schrittzähler aufrecht zu erhalten ### 5/5 — Great Motivation *2026-08-21* I was using a different app to keep me going with my steps and little fun rewards however I kept having to buy coins for it and I spent way too much. Then I found this, so much less and it’s fun, cute and keeps me going. ### 5/5 — Really cute app *2026-08-12* I love seeing which cute creature I get to see each day I meet my step goal! It gives me incentive to walk those few extra steps! Thank you! **Developer response:** Thank you so much! 🥹 I’m really happy the little creatures give you that extra push to take those last few steps. That’s exactly what I hoped for when I created Steps & Beasts. 💜 Best, Malte ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-08-01* Very motivational! Made me want to walk and gave me the excitement of hitting my step goal to see what beast I would get😊 ### 5/5 — Perfect for ADHDers *2026-07-22* This is the ONLY app that has ever kept me motivated to hit my step count, and I’ve tried a lot. I love being able to hatch a little critter each day, as silly as it sounds. They are so beautifully designed and I always look forward to seeing which one I get. **Developer response:** Wow, thank you so much! This review means a lot to me. Hearing that Steps & Beasts is the one app that finally keeps you motivated is exactly why I created it. And I promise there are still many more little critters waiting to hatch and new features in the making 💜 Best, Malte ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-16, version 1.5.0* Fun I look forward to every day when my steps are in that I get to go open a new one ### 5/5 — Ahhh! *2026-07-16, version 1.5.0* The new update is amazing! Thank you! ❤️ ### 5/5 — Fabulous! *2026-07-15, version 1.4.3* This is the best app to encourage you to walk, so many cute beasts to collect. And with the latest update, which added a journey mode where you get a character and update it by using feathers you get as rewards for your steps. Incredible! Well done developers!! ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2026-07-13, version 1.4.3* This app has been amazing at keeping me on track and getting my steps in I love it!! And the beasts are so STINKING CUTE!!! ### 5/5 — Free App that can satisfy the collectible itch *2026-07-12* It’s not my primary for my fitness goals, but it’s been inspiring me! I’m so happy to let my toddlers open my egg at the end of the day knowing i earned it for all of us 😊. They just made a huge update with journeys and more personalization. Really appreciate it, and will continue to use everyday! **Developer response:** This made me smile. Thank you so much! I love that your toddlers get to hatch the egg at the end of the day. That’s such a sweet little family ritual. I’m also really happy you’re enjoying Journey and the new personalization features. Thanks for being part of Steps & Beasts! 💜 Best, Malte --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
