Today I logged over 7,000 steps in apple health. The game is linked to apple heart in settings. However the game is showing only 2,545 steps. How is it so wrong?? Something must be broken and I have no clue how to fix it. ### 4/5 — Cute app *2026-03-26* I like the variety of pets. I would like to see more walking incentives like evolving the pets from the awkward teenage colors phase back to the colors of the second phase with a slightly more mature animal look! Or allowing us to choose the coloring! Once I get past the first phase I don’t really want to evolve them if all they do is change to intense colors. The games are fun. I would also like to be able to see a list of how close each of my pets is to evolving without having to click on each one individually. ### 4/5 — Cute app *2026-03-10* I like the variety of pets.

The games are fun. ### 4/5 — Its cute and fun! *2026-03-05, version 1.0.8* The ads are a tad annoying in the free version but they arent excessive like in some apps. Not to mention the contents of Stepets is totally worth it. The minigames are fun, the pets are cute, and the game includes little funfacts about the total distance you've walked! I highly recommend stepets to anyone who wants to get their steps up while still have fun in a zero pressure way. ### 4/5 — Cute Game *2026-02-10, version 1.0.8* Love it! Is there a way to save the game to the cloud so I don’t lose anything? I looked in settings but it doesn’t give me an ID or a way to backup, just ways to delete it off my phone. I also don’t want to lose my VIP membership. ### 2/5 — Doesnt flow well *2026-01-09* So this thing needs LOTS of diamonds. How do you get diamonds? Well you either watch videos or buy them. You only get 5 videos a day. If one incubator is 10 diamonds. That’s two days till you get an incubator. So there is one whole day of nothing. You also need incubators to evolve pets. And only common pets are free. So it’s a lot of diamonds. It’s a bunch of downtime, if you don’t buy diamonds. Incubators need to be free. So you can spend time hatching pets and not waiting for videos. This game defeats the purpose of wanting to be more motivated to walk. ### 3/5 — Too many ads :( *2025-12-21, version 1.0.8* Very nice app, cute designs. Unfortunately there are a lot of ads and the gems are hard to get without paying. I get that you gotta make a living, but it’s a little annoying ### 2/5 — Meh. *2025-12-17, version 1.0.8* It’s a cute game, but if you have it on a iPad it’s useless. 😕 ### 4/5 — ???♥️ *2025-12-12* Boa tarde,hoje eu instalei o jogo...pelos comentários o jogo é muito bom 😊! Mas eu não tive a oportunidade de jogar! Depois de baixar,ele ia baixar em uma “barrinha” porém baixou só 91 % Eu tentei de novo e não funcionou,ele voltou para a tela inícial Eu tenho um iPad e não sei se foi porque ele não funciona nesse aparelho Por favor consertem senão eu vou ter que desinstalar o jogo Bye-bye♥️♥️♥️ ### 4/5 — Adorable, but ADS *2025-11-23* The creatures are all absolutely adorable and the minigames are pretty well chosen and executed, but there are ads after practically every action you take when online. Thankfully it is playable offline, but more voluntary ads for in-game rewards (especially limited time events) and fewer forced ads would be great. Manages to not fall into the trap of steps becoming exponentially less useful. Your first egg hatches at 100 steps or so, 10th at 4000, and then it plateaus at 4000 steps per egg. Seems like a good number - 4000 steps is about 40 minutes of dedicated walking, so you could hatch an egg with a surmountable bit of effort. (Keep in mind though that there are only 26 common pets out of 113, and the others all require gems and more steps.) Though I would like it if pets could also gain experience from steps as well as in-game play, especially as not all actions are easy to do with one hand, because if you’re counting your steps with a smart watch and playing at the same time you’d want to keep swinging the arm that the wrist is on. Also, the time zone of the shop and the daily step counter don’t match up?! Please use the time zone on the phone or at least show a countdown timer for the daily counter so that we could tell when the cutoff happens. ### 4/5 — Adorable, but ADS *2025-10-31, version 1.0.8* The creatures are all absolutely adorable and the minigames are pretty well chosen and executed, but there are ads after practically every action you take when online.

Also falls into the trap of steps becoming exponentially less useful. Your first egg hatches at 100 steps or so, 10th at 4000. I feel like this would work much better as a motivational tool if the value of steps plateaus at a point where they’re useful but not easy, or at least doesn’t dive off a cliff. Like if the first egg hatches at 1000 steps, the next at 1100, then 1200, and so on.

It's just too much work to try to get the rewards. I've watched 5 ads for the same thing and it still won't give me the reward and the cost of the paid version is too much for a game that's already laggy and could have an update that makes it stop working tomorrow. I'm tired of feeling like I'm being lied to constantly about ads/rewards. Also what's the point of having an option for using game center if you can't even uncheck it? Often the x2 bonus from watching an ad just won't work. The ad to double the 5 gem reward from walking 10000 steps NEVER works. EVER. Can't give away that many gems for free because then people won't blow their real money on them, I guess? Don't offer stuff to me that I can't actually have. Also the ads for that stupid game with the king trying to escape from piles of rocks freezes the game about 90% of the time so then I have to restart the app and I don't get the reward and that's by far the ad I see the most and I think they do it on purpose. It's not that my phone has an issue loading it because it plays the whole ad just fine and freezes right at the end and doesn't give me the reward. The Temu ads also have literally a fake X or close ad button to trick you into clicking on the ad ### 4/5 — Baby noises are upsetting *2025-09-14, version 1.0.8* I love this game, very cute art and visually pleasing designs, the only thing that irks me is the baby noises the pets make when you pet them. Everything else is great tho ### 4/5 — Cute *2025-09-13, version 1.0.8* This game is pretty cute. I’ve been working on step counting lately and games like this have helped me be more motivated. I like decorating the space and the cute pets and y forms of them. I also LOVE that is has a list of which you have- since I like collecting. ### 4/5 — Games *2025-07-29, version 1.0.8* The game needs more mini games ### 5/5 — Cuuuute *2025-07-20, version 1.0.8* So cute!! I love this game! It encourages me to get my steps in and collect cute pets. ### 4/5 — Great Game Ruined By Ads *2025-06-14, version 1.0.8* Game is basically paywalled behind a $5 minimum charge to get rid of ads that interrupt you after almost every action you complete in-game. I love the game and the concept other than that aspect - Wouldn’t mind some ads, and I understand how that works for a free game. But its too much ### 5/5 — The best game made from platnic *2025-05-28, version 1.0.8* A realllly great game this game actually wants me to go outside take a jog for 20 minutes and then upgrade my pets ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Error. No funciona *2025-10-06, version 1.0.8* La aplicación de Salud si detecta mis paso al instante pero la aplicación de Stepets no registra los pasos, absolutamente nada ### 1/5 — Como conseguir mas terreno *2025-02-24, version 1.0.8* Como puedo conseguir más parcelas ? El juego ya no me deja ampliar y no tengo espacio para colocar más objetos. Si no se puede ampliar el juego deja de tener interés, se vuelve obsoleto. ### 1/5 — Spam *2024-05-14, version 1.0.8* I immediately got spam call after opening app ### 1/5 — Sync doesn’t work *2024-05-03, version 1.0.8* I installed and deinstalled the app three different times and made sure it was connected to my health app. It didn’t register any steps, even when I went for a walk with my dog. Very bummed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-04-14, version 1.0.8* I started the game and it will not incubate even the first pet you get. No steps registered at all. This game is 🗑️. ### 1/5 — Steps don’t sync *2023-11-30, version 1.0.8* This looks very cute but I couldn’t get it to sync my steps with Health app. I had the checkbox for connecting to Health checked but I t seems to still require Motion and Fitness tracking to be enabled on my phone, which I don’t want because I don’t want my phone double counting the steps with my FitBit. ### 1/5 — Brad’s review *2023-11-20* Hello, so I tried this app and it is not accessible for me because I am visually impaired and blind and I use a screen reader on my phone called voice voice is a screen reader, that reads texts and items on your screen. Well, when I launched this app. All I asked me to do was to allow to send notifications then what voice does when an app is totally not accessible it says direct touch area, my phone say that, and sometimes with voiceover, you can turn voice off and tap on a certain part of the screen to get to a certain part of the game and it will make a sound but all it did was take me to the terms of service and privacy policy I wish you guys could put more texts on the screen as matter fact I wish the whole game high text on the screen. and earlier this year I pre-ordered this app, and when it was released ever since day one I’ve hated this app even though it sounds so amazing. ### 1/5 — No cuanta los pasos *2023-08-23, version 1.0.7* Ya he eliminado y descargado la app varias veces, he caminado con el celular en la mano, en mi pantalón y en mi bolsa; con la app abierta y cerrada y nada mas no cuenta ni un solo paso. ### 1/5 — No te lo descargues *2023-06-08, version 1.0.5* Entiendo que el juego acaba de empezar, pero no me creo que en un juego de andar, eso no funcione, no cuenta bien los pasos que das. Lo que si no tiene nada que ver con que el juego acabe de empezar es la cantidad de anuncios que hay, a cada cosa con la que interactúas te salta un anuncio. Y para ser un juego tan colorido para todos los públicos, todos los anuncios son de tragaperras. Si quieres mejorar tus animales o decorar el escenario te toca pagar con gemas, que puedes conseguir viendo anuncios o pasando por caja. Para ser un juego de andar, no te dan recompensas por andar. No lo descargueis ### 1/5 — No recoge bien los datos *2023-06-08, version 1.0.3* De cada 100 pasos registra aproximadamente 3 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — TOP DAS GALAXIAS *2026-03-01* O JOGO É MT BOM , POR ANOS OITRIS JOGOS FORAM OS MEUS FAVORITOS MAIS EU ACHEI O CONCEITO DO JOGO PERFEITO , POIS OS PASSOS QUE VC DETERMINA SE O OVO ABRE OU NÃO PORÉM O JOGO TB ACOLHE AS PESSOAS QUE TEM ALGUM TIPO DE DEFICIÊNCIA FÍSICA QUE NÃO POSSIBILITA QUE ELAS ANDEM MAIS ESSE JOGO ACOLHE TODO TIPO DE GENTE . ### 5/5 — Makes walking fun! *2026-02-11, version 1.0.8* This is exactly what I have been looking for and it’s so fun. ### 5/5 — Super Cute!!! *2025-10-28, version 1.0.8* Very adorable pets!! Love the decoration aspect as well. It keeps me motivated so I’m keeping this app! ### 5/5 — Genial *2025-10-21, version 1.0.8* Todo lo que promueva la salud, bueno es. Igual mucha publicidad ### 5/5 — Fun steps/walking app *2025-09-25, version 1.0.8* Fun app that encourages walking. There is a mode to play even if you aren’t able to walk. The little Stepets are cute! ### 5/5 — Минусов нет *2025-09-11, version 1.0.8* Очень милая игра, буду играть в нее по дороге в школу, в принципе если сильно мешает реклама можно просто играть без интернета ### 5/5 — Just downloaded today & love it!! *2025-09-11* I am on a fitness journey. I just downloaded this game today and absolutely love it. There are so many goals and pets to collect- as well as infinite space to decorate. It’s something nice to work towards. I really wish the developers would continue working on the game as it seems there haven’t been any updates since 2023 or so. I’d love to see holiday themes or more mini games for the pets. Also, the step counts seem to be a little lower than my watch / step counter. Other than that, it’s great! ### 5/5 — Great except doesn’t link to Fitbit *2025-08-16, version 1.0.8* Please add Fitbit as a data source. Other than that this game is very cute and has been fun. The no ads package is actually great and there really are no ads ### 5/5 — A legjobb motiváció *2025-07-29, version 1.0.8* Sokáig kerestem hasonló játékot, tényleg motivál a sétára és abszolút megéri a teljes verzió vásárlása is. A játékok között, ha lenne angol szótanulás lehetőség, pl crosswords, akkor már minden az egyben lenne. 😊 ### 5/5 — Пип *2025-07-24, version 1.0.8* Игра отличная, если сделать её ещё без рекламы тогда будет просто бомба --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
