## What is Stepa?

Stepa is a walking app for walking with friends and finding walking routes near you. Race your mates every week, pick a ready-made loop on the map, or make one that starts and ends at your door.

RACE YOUR MATES, ALL WEEK
Every week there's one shared route, and everyone's weekly steps move them along it. See your mates as photos on the track, follow the race as it happens, and find out on Monday who made the podium. Then a new route starts. No mates on Stepa yet? Race the Stepa pacer and last week's you.

WALKING ROUTES NEAR YOU
The Atlas is a map of ready-made walking loops around you. Each one is a circular route on real paths, with distance, time and steps before you set off. Tap a line, see the loop, walk it.

MAKE YOUR OWN LOOP
Choose how long you want to walk and Stepa plots a loop that starts and ends where you are. Three free loops a month. Stepa Pro gives you unlimited loops plus More options: pick the terrain or drop a pin to start somewhere else.

FOCUS WALK
A short walk of 10 to 30 minutes, phone in your pocket. It ends when the time is up or you hit the steps. Ending early is fine. Every step still counts towards your race.

WIDGETS
Today's steps, your race with your mates, a loop from your door, a one-tap Focus walk, and a map of where you walked today, on your Home Screen and Lock Screen.

YOUR WALKS, SAVED
Saved walks keep the route and the height you climbed, so you can walk a favourite again.

STEPS THAT MATCH YOUR iPHONE
Stepa reads steps from Apple Health, including your Apple Watch, so your count matches what your iPhone shows.

WALK AS YOU WALK
No calorie counting, no weight targets, no closing rings and no telling you off. Stepa counts what you walk and gives you good reasons to walk a bit more.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2026-09-17*

Made a huge difference and really helped me find new places to explore with my dogs!

### 5/5 — This app helped me lose 100lbs in 9 months

*2026-09-17*

This app changed my life. I used to be 400 pounds and this app helped motivate me to get out and in the last nine months I've lost 100 pounds because I'm motivated to challenge my family members to get more

### 5/5 — Actually makes me get up and do something

*2026-08-14*

This app has a nice vibe and I normally hate notifications of any kind but these come at times when I should take a break from sitting at my desk, so I get up and either move around the house or go out for a walk if time permits.

### 5/5 — Brilliant walking app

*2026-08-02*

Makes walking with friends more fun. Competing against each other whilst improving your fitness, it’s great!

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2026-07-12*

Truthfully, I don’t really see the point of Stepa.

If you need an app to motivate you to get outside, walk, or be active, maybe the problem isn’t your fitness, it’s your mindset. I’ve been active for years and have never needed an app to tell me to move or “explore.”

To me, it feels like another unnecessary app encouraging people to rely on technology for something they could simply choose to do themselves. With AI making it easier than ever to build apps like this, it feels like there’s a new one every week trying to solve problems that don’t really need solving.

Social media has turned basic activities into trends, when sometimes all you need to do is get up and go.

Just my opinion. 👍

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2026-06-10*

This app has been awesome so far. Very clear UI and a really fun leaderboard where you can track other’s steps vs your own. I plan on buying the Pro before a trip to Barcelona because it takes you on “Tourist Loops” to make it easier exploring places.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support! We are glad you are enjoying Stepa and we cant wait for you to experience our next update which focuses on expanding the Tourist mode experience. If you find some cool routes on your travels, we would love if you shared it with us. 
- Love from the Stepa Team

### 5/5 — The best app!!

*2026-06-10*

Stepa has changed the game in getting your steps up. It’s interactive and lets you duel your friends. It’s a real motivator for improving physical and mental health.

**Developer response:** We thank you for your support at such an early stage in our apps life! Its incrediby validating and helps us know we are on the right track, building a product that can help improve peoples wellbeing. 
- Love from the Stepa Team

### 5/5 — Love the app !

*2026-06-10*

Amazing and easy to use interface, love competing with my friends and creating loops I think it’s such a good feature !

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support! It means the world at this stage, and we are excited to have you on this journey with us.
- Love from the Stepa Team

### 5/5 — Helped me get up

*2026-06-10*

Leaderboard reinforced walking for me, helped me compete with friends

### 5/5 — Active outdoor user Review

*2026-06-10*

As someone who’s trying to be more active this app has been incredibly helpful, being able to generate new walks, with stops such as coffee shops, pubs you name it! Has been getting me and my friends outside more even when we are working every day. Couldn’t recommend it enough, the walks are great, frequent bug updates etc so it runs super smooth!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.18 — 2026-10-20

Race your mates, every week
One shared route, a new one each Monday. See where everyone is on the track: faces for you, the leader and whoever's just ahead or behind, and a tap on any dot shows who it is. No mates yet? Race Stepa pace.

The Atlas
A map of ready-made loops near you. Tap a line to see the loop, then walk it.

Make my own
Loops start right where you're standing. Three free a month. More options (terrain, start point) are part of Stepa Pro.

Focus walk
10 to 30 minutes, phone in your pocket, head up.

New widgets
Today, Race, Focus walk, Loop from your door and Where you walked.

Also
New share cards for your walks, races and milestones, saved walks show their height again, and the whole app has a cleaner, calmer look.

### 1.0.16 — 2026-09-26

Walks that are easier to follow: the stretch ahead is highlighted, your spot is now an arrow that turns with you, and zooming out shows the whole route. The Routes map finds you instantly, walks keep going on patchy signal, and plenty of fixes under the hood.

### 1.0.13 — 2026-09-24

Fixed a bug where Stepa could get stuck on the loading screen when your connection was poor. If we can't reach your profile, you'll now see a Retry button instead of waiting forever.

Also in this update: cleaner route previews for there-and-back walks, walks now finish automatically when you reach the end of a route, and smaller fixes and polish throughout.

### 1.0.11 — 2026-09-10

Clearer route previews and improved walk completion, so reaching your step target early no longer ends navigation. Plus bug fixes and reliability improvements.

### 1.09 — 2026-09-07

Mates: accept a friend request from anywhere in the app, a count on the Mates tab when someone is waiting, and an email if the notification can't reach you. Invite links now connect you automatically when your friend joins. Finding mates from your contacts works again. Cleaner route shapes and a clearer map.
