## What is StepMap?

StepMap is a location-based fitness game that turns your daily walk into real-world territory. Every step you take grows your footprint on the map; every loop you close becomes a new patch of land you own.

WHY STEPMAP
• Walking is no longer just step counting — set goals, draw routes, claim land.
• Synced with Apple Watch and the Health app — no manual counters.
• Fitness habits (streaks, pace, calories, daily goal) combined with game mechanics (territory ownership, emojis, teams).
• Sign in with Apple or Google in five seconds and start walking.

THE CORE LOOP
1. Tap "Start" — your GPS marks the origin.
2. Walk and a live polyline draws behind you while your step counter ticks up in real time.
3. Return close to your starting point and the loop closes automatically.
4. The closed route becomes a polygon — your territory, pinned to the map.
5. Drop an emoji (cactus, rock, mountain, tree) onto it. The emoji's HP equals the steps you spent on that walk.

FITNESS FIRST
• Daily step goal tracking (default 10,000 steps)
• Streak counter — uninterrupted active days
• Live pace (min/km) and calorie estimate
• Weekly and monthly progress stats
• Automatic data from Apple Watch and the Health app

GAME LAYER
• Sign your territory with an emoji — other players can see it.
• Encirclement (v2): draw a longer loop that fully contains someone's territory to take it over.
• Tap-to-destroy (v2): repeatedly tap an enemy emoji to drain its HP and neutralize the territory.

TEAMS
• Build a team of up to 20 walkers.
• Choose before each walk: personal or team-attributed.
• Team leaders see member stats and export them as CSV or JSON.

PREMIUM (Optional)
• Premium unlocks one 48-hour territory shield per month on your newest capture.
• Shielded territory can't be encircled or destroyed.
• The free tier is fully playable — premium only adds the protective shield.
• StepMap Premium is an auto-renewable monthly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation and renews automatically each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
• Terms of Use (EULA): https://stepmap-legal.pages.dev/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://stepmap-legal.pages.dev/privacy

PRIVACY
• Location is only read during an active walk.
• Health data stays on your device and is never uploaded.
• Social sign-in only — no passwords stored.

SUPPORTED DEVICES
• iPhone (iOS 17+)
• Apple Watch (via HealthKit)

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.6 — 2026-07-30

This update brings stability and accuracy improvements:

• Team stats now count only team-attributed walks, so personal walks no longer inflate your team totals.
• Expired territories are cleared from your list automatically.
• Simplified the walk start screen so it fits every screen.
• More reliable territory protection and reminders.
• Various gameplay correctness fixes.

### 1.2.5 — 2026-07-29

This release is the result of a full audit — we fixed everything we found in the game rules and the interface.

• Attack budget is actually spent now. Previously your steps were never deducted, so a single tap could attack without limit.
• Multi-emoji defence works. Your territory now holds until the last emoji falls.
• Shields and visits reach the server — other players can finally see your shield, and a territory you visited stops decaying.
• Shields now pause decay as well as damage.
• The daily territory limit counts correctly. Losing ground no longer earns you extra slots, and conquering no longer costs you one.
• Fixed a first-launch hang on the permissions screen.
• Your step count now updates live through the day — no restart needed.
• Notifications when you are close to your goal and when you reach it, plus a nudge when there is unclaimed ground near you.
• While walking you can see the area you would seal by closing right now, and the moment you close it is finally celebrated.
• Territory decay shortened from 14 days to 3 — walk regularly to hold your ground.
• Pending offline actions are no longer lost.
• Many interface fixes: an overlapping badge, contradictory statistics, missing translations and accessibility labels.

### 1.2.4 — 2026-06-05

StepMap 1.2.4 — Walk experience fixes

• The "your route crosses itself" warning no longer appears on normal walks — it only shows when a real figure-eight would cost you territory
• The daily goal bar now fills smoothly with every step instead of freezing and jumping
• Your daily total never moves backwards mid-walk

Happy walking!

### 1.2.3 — 2026-06-03

StepMap 1.2.3 — Reliability & PvP fixes

• Your steps, distance, and territory stats now sync reliably to the server — nothing stays stuck
• Conquest works: fully encircling an undefended enemy territory now captures it
• Tapping to attack gives instant feedback and never loses your progress
• Changing your reaction on a territory now saves correctly
• The map no longer fills up with duplicate wild territories
• Smoother sign-in — your actions always save while you're logged in

Happy walking!

### 1.2.2 — 2026-05-31

StepMap 1.2.2 — Fixes & smarter reminders

• Walk distance is now accurate and matches your profile total — long walks are never lost
• Step-goal & team-rule reminders are smart: they show how many steps you have left and stop nagging once you hit the goal
• Reminders now arrive before the deadline with time to act, not after
• Visiting a territory only refreshes its timer when you're within 1 km of it
• Leaving a team now cancels its reminders
• Turkish & English wording cleaned up throughout

Happy walking!
