### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for

*2026-03-24*

I feel like every other step app just shows your % progress but I like this one where it shows you if you’re ahead or behind where you should be during the day. This encourages me to take short walks throughout the day instead of one long one.

### 3/5 — Not getting notifications

*2026-03-17*

I really love the idea of this app and I paid for the subscription but I’m not getting the hourly notifications. I tried emailing the developer but the emails keep bouncing back undeliverable. I’m hoping this issue gets fixed and then I’d give it 5 stars.
