## What is Steps & Tree?

Steps & Tree makes your daily steps visible – as a growing tree. Every movement in real life turns into water that you use to take care of your tree. This keeps you motivated to move a little more every day.

The app connects to Apple Health and automatically uses your recorded steps from your iPhone and Apple Watch. Detailed stats and metrics about your tree let you see your progress at any time.

Keep moving every day, grow your streak, and unlock rewards in the form of exclusive app icons.

### 3/5 — Cute

*2026-08-27*

I like it but it needs more instruction. I have no clue what I am doing.

**Developer response:** Hello christina080165,

thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you like the app overall. We completely understand your point. Especially at the beginning, some of the mechanics could be explained more clearly.

Here’s the most important part in a nutshell: When you open the app, your steps are automatically converted into water and stored in your water tank. As long as your tree has water, it keeps growing. Your streak also increases each day as long as your tree never runs out of water. 😊

Best,
Tobi from the Steps & Tree Team

### 5/5 — おすすめです。

*2026-08-23*

そこそこ歩く人には面白いアプリだと思います。

**Developer response:** リリコ☆☆☆さん

レビューありがとうございます！Steps & Treeをおすすめしていただけて、とてもうれしいです。これからもアプリを楽しんでいただけたら幸いです。😊

### 5/5 — Macht einfach Laune

*2026-08-20*

Normalerweise halte ich mich eher zurück Apps oder Artikel zu bewerten. Das ist ja immer eine sehr subjektive Meinung. 
Aber da ich eh sehr viel zu Fuß mit den Hunden unterwegs bin, dachte ich, die App sieht spannend aus. Das ist sie tatsächlich. Sie animiert und motiviert weiter zu laufen :) 
Ich spiele jetzt seit 90 Tagen mit. Nur 1x habe ich mein Ziel nicht erreicht. Da lag ich mit Migräne flach und ich habe mich fürchterlich geärgert. Es macht einfach Spaß, seinen Baum wachsen zu sehen. Und man kann die App auch super ohne Echtgeld nutzen :) 
Ich habe sie schon vielen empfohlen :)

**Developer response:** Hallo Finala87,

vielen lieben Dank für deine ausführliche Bewertung. Gerade weil du sonst eher selten Bewertungen schreibst, freut uns dein Feedback umso mehr. Und natürlich auch ein großes Dankeschön dafür, dass du Steps & Tree schon so vielen weiterempfohlen hast. 😊

Richtig schön zu hören, dass dich die App motiviert, noch ein paar Schritte mehr zu machen. Genau das wollen wir erreichen. Und in 90 Tagen nur einmal das Tagesziel nicht geschafft zu haben, ist wirklich stark.

Ich wünsche dir weiterhin ganz viel Spaß mit der App und deinem Baum.

Liebe Grüße Tobi vom Steps & Tree Team

### 3/5 — Steps don’t match

*2026-08-15*

I like the idea of this app but I’m not a fan how I could have 5000 steps on my watch and on my other apps but this one stays way behind saying it’s only like 2000 steps. If they’d sync properly I’d definitely give 5 stars. But until then, 3 is all I can give.

**Developer response:** Hello Gypsy85880716,

thank you for your review! I’m really glad to hear you like the idea behind the app.

We should definitely be able to find a solution for the difference in your step count. This usually happens when steps are tracked by multiple devices, such as an iPhone and a smartwatch. Apple Health combines those sources while trying to avoid counting the same steps twice, and the priority of each source can affect the final total.

You can find a guide in the app under Settings → “Steps & Smartwatch”. Feel free to email us at info@stepsandtree.app as well, and we’ll be happy to help you get it sorted out.

Best,
Tobi from the Steps & Tree Team

### 5/5 — 連続460日5000歩以上

*2026-08-10*

歩く人にはおすすめ　最低でも連続99日歩ける自信がある人にはおすすめです

**Developer response:** 新ステージさん

レビューとおすすめ、ありがとうございます！

ひとつ補足すると、毎日必ず歩数目標を達成する必要はありません。歩いた分は水に変換され、ウォータータンクに貯めておくことができます。そのため、あまり歩けない日があっても、たくさん歩いた日に貯めた水で補うことができます。

Steps & TreeチームのTobiより

### 2/5 — バッググラウンド更新は？

*2026-07-20*

これ自体にはないです。通知機能をオンにすると、アプリを開けてください、水をくださいと通知が来て、平日には歩くけど休日には外に出ない人には、精神衛生によくありません。

**Developer response:** 玉之輔さん

率直なご意見をお寄せいただき、ありがとうございます。ご指摘の点はよく理解できますし、通知によって必要以上のプレッシャーを感じてほしくないと考えています。

そのため、Steps & Treeにはウォータータンクがあります。平日に十分な水をためておけば、週末はほとんど新しく水をためなくても、木に水を与え続けることができます。週末は毎日必ず歩数目標を達成しなくても、木に十分な水を与え続けることができます。

それでも通知が気になる場合は、設定からいつでもオフにできます。

### 5/5 — 要望（解決済み）

*2026-07-19*

設定を弄ってたら他のデバイスも使えるとありました！いろいろ歩き回ってみます。

----:----:----:----:----
アプリをスタートしたばかりでレビューできるほど材料は持ち合わせていません。
一つだけ要望を。
歩数の計測がヘルスケアアプリの歩数のみってのは些か物足りなく感じる。常にiPhone持って歩かないし。ウェアラブルウォッチに対応してもらえたらもっとやる気出るんだけど。

**Developer response:** MKT-YGさん

レビューをお寄せいただき、ありがとうございます！

iPhoneをいつも持ち歩いているわけではないというお気持ちは、よく分かります。どのスマートウォッチをお使いですか？メーカーによっては、Appleの「ヘルスケア」アプリとの同期を簡単に設定できます。そうすることで、iPhoneとスマートウォッチの歩数が「ヘルスケア」アプリにまとめて記録され、二重にカウントされることもありません。

よろしければ、info@stepsandtree.app までお気軽にご連絡ください。設定方法を一緒に確認させていただきます。

これからも、アプリを試しながら歩数を集めることを楽しんでいただけたら嬉しいです。😊

### 5/5 — Wunderschön

*2026-07-06*

Ich nutze die App jetzt schon über ein halbes Jahr und ich bin total begeistert. Hab sie mit meiner Mutter geteilt und somit den Kirschbaum freigeschalten ging super einfach. 
Leider hat Apple da ein bisschen rumgesponnen aber als ich mich dann an den Kunden Support gewendet habe, haben die mir sofort den Baum freigeschalten, alles ganz unkompliziert  ☺️

**Developer response:** Hallo K..!!!,

vielen lieben Dank für deine ausführliche und schöne Bewertung! Freut mich total zu lesen, dass du Steps & Tree schon so lange nutzt und die App sogar mit deiner Mutter geteilt hast. Danke auch, dass du deine positive Erfahrung mit unserem Support erwähnst. 😊

Liebe Grüße Tobi vom Steps & Tree Team

### 5/5 — Tolle App die zum gehen mutiviert

*2026-06-24*

An sich ist die App großartig,allerdings sollten mindestens drei Bäume kostenlos zur Auswahl stehen und nicht nur einer und alles andere muss bezahlt werden.

### 5/5 — Der bessere Tamagochi

*2026-05-14*

Funktioniert gut und macht Spaß. Schaue immer wieder gerne in die App und sehe dem Baum beim wachsen zu. Ich hoffe es gibt demnächst noch Icons die über 280 Tage Streak hinausgehen und weitere Challenges wie die Wochenendchallenge…vllt eine monatliche Challenge oder etwas in der Art 👍
