Sumo Steps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn your daily steps into sumo bouts. Start at Jonokuchi, the lowest division, and walk your way up to Yokozuna, the grand champion. Reach the day’s step target and you win the bout; fall short and you lose. A basho (tournament) lasts 7 days from Jonokuchi to Makushita and 15 days in Juryo and Makuuchi, with a bout every day. Finish with more wins than losses (kachi-koshi) to move up the banzuke, the sumo ranking; finish with more losses (make-koshi) and you move down. Promotion and demotion follow rules built from real banzuke data: over 3,000 rank changes from a full year of tournaments. ■ Features • Step targets based on your age and rank. The higher you climb, the more you need to walk. • Ozeki and Yokozuna are as hard to reach as in real sumo: about 33 wins over three basho in sanyaku (Sekiwake and Komusubi) for Ozeki, and two straight yusho, or the equivalent, as Ozeki for Yokozuna. • A league of 590 rikishi (wrestlers). Bouts are scheduled for every rikishi every day, and the yusho (championship) goes to the best record. • Pairings follow real tournament patterns: a Yokozuna meets a Komusubi on Day 1, and the Yokozuna face each other on Senshuraku, the final day. • Kimarite (winning techniques) such as Yorikiri and Oshidashi, chosen by how far you beat or missed your target. Browse all 87 with descriptions and see how often you’ve won with each. • Banzuke and results tables, with history for every past basho. • A new banzuke announced after each basho, with promotions, demotions and championships. • Your own shikona (ring name): keep it in your own alphabet, or turn it into kanji from suggested candidates. • Other rikishi keep their kanji shikona, and you can show romaji readings. • In English, Spanish, French and Japanese. Change the language anytime in Profile > Display. • Your day ends at midnight in the time zone where you registered. • A daily reminder at the time you choose. ■ Steps and privacy • Uses step data from your iPhone (Motion & Fitness). The last 7 days are read each time you open the app. • No account, no ads. Your steps and records are stored only on your device.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Sumo Steps at every 3 weeks against PHAT's every 30 months. PHAT's advantage is iOS requirement (8.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
