Save every place you find on TikTok, Instagram and Google Maps to one map you'll actually use. You screenshot the restaurant. You save the Reels. You paste the address into your notes. Then the trip comes around and it's all gone. Step fixes that. Share a post to Step and the places land on your map, tagged and sorted by city, waiting for you when you get there. IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE TikTok. Instagram posts and Reels. Google Maps links. Screenshots. Even the running list in your Notes app. Send it to Step and we pull the place, the address and the details. No copy-pasting, nothing lost. BUILT AROUND CITIES Your saves organise themselves by city automatically. Land in Lisbon, open Step, see every place you've been collecting for months. RECOMMENDATIONS FROM PEOPLE, NOT ALGORITHMS Follow friends and Step's Culture Curators, a network of writers, chefs, designers and travellers who publish guides to the cities they know best. Build a personally curated map of the world, populated by the people you love, respect, and admire. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT Step is designed like a magazine, not a directory. Clean typography, real editorial, none of the review-farm noise. WHAT PEOPLE USE STEP FOR - Collecting places from social media before a trip - Rescuing a years-old list of recommendations out of Notes - Keeping a running map of their own city - Sharing a list of recommendations with a friend in one link - Following creators they trust instead of trawling review sites Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

Mustique and Step both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Mustique's written reviews are positive against 52% of Step's. Mustique also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Step's advantage is ratings volume (232 vs 5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
