## What is Walkman Step Counter?

Walkman is a simple step counter for iPhone. Open it and you see one number: your steps today. Below that are calories, distance and your week at a glance.

FEATURES

Step tracking. Steps, distance, calories and flights climbed, read from Apple Health.

City leaderboard. See how you compare with other people walking in your city today. Optional, and city-level only.

Weekly summary. Your best day, your current streak, and how this week is going.

Collectible characters. A new character every 500 steps, up to 50,000.

PRIVACY

Walkman only reads from Apple Health and never writes to it.

Location is optional and only used to place you in a city. Your coordinates are randomised on your device before they are sent.

We do not sell your data and do not track you across other apps.

You can delete your account and all of its data from inside the app, under Profile.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.4 — 2026-09-26

Your step count now lives on your home screen.

• Add the Walkman widget in two sizes — today's steps, in full Walkman type.
• The widget keeps up through the day, and matches the number you last saw in the app.
• No more black flash when the app opens.
• The leaderboard headline now shows your own total for the period, not the average of everyone else's.

### 4.3 — 2026-09-22

Walkman now asks for less and does more on its own.

• Your leaderboard updates in the background — friends' steps appear through the day, even if they haven't opened the app.
• Location is gone from the app entirely. Walkman never asks where you are; leaderboards rank steps, nothing else.
• Fewer Health toggles: just steps, distance and energy — exactly what the app shows.
• If Walkman can't read your steps, it now opens Apple Health for you and walks you through fixing it.
• Placement ribbons on every board, and no more doubled first-place badge.

### 4.2 — 2026-09-18

Walkman now tells you when it can't read your steps, instead of quietly showing zero — with a direct route to fix it in Settings.

• Fixed a bug where a sync could erase step history that had already been recorded.
• Your leaderboard numbers survive even if Health access drops out.
• Choose whether you appear in the public leaderboards, separately from syncing your activity.
• The Account toggles now say exactly what they do.
• Clearer placements: "1st of 5" in a small field, "Top 5%" in a big one.

### 4.1 — 2026-09-14

Leaderboards now show the whole world, not just your city — so you can see every walker you're up against.

• Placements are clearer: you'll see "1st of 5" in a small field and "Top 5%" in a big one, instead of percentages that made winning look like a loss.
• Redesigned placement cards — your rank now sits on the ribbon.
• Renaming yourself in Settings updates your name everywhere on the leaderboard, including past days.
• New setting: stay in the leaderboard or hide from it, separately from syncing your activity. The Account toggles now say exactly what they do.
• Fixed deleted accounts lingering on the leaderboard.
• Faster, fresher leaderboard data, plus crash reporting so we can find and fix problems sooner.

### 4.0 — 2026-09-12
