Turn your daily steps into a real adventure! Steps & Beasts motivates you to walk more by turning every step into progress on your very own Journey — hatching eggs, collecting Beasts, and unlocking a whole world along the way. WHY STEPS & BEASTS? Every morning starts with a new egg. Walk toward your step goal and watch it hatch into a unique Beast. At the same time, your character moves forward on the Journey — a real path that grows with your steps, taking you through new biomes, landmarks, and levels. FEATURES YOU'LL LOVE: • YOUR OWN JOURNEY Every step carries your character down a living path. Explore distinct biomes, reach landmarks, open treasure chests, and level up as your total steps add up. • COLLECT 250+ UNIQUE BEASTS Hatch a new Beast every time you reach your goal. Hatch the same Beast again and again to unlock shiny Gold and Glitter looks. • QUESTS, XP & FEATHERS Complete quests along the Journey to earn XP and Feathers, then spend Feathers in the Shop on new looks for your character. • DAILY STREAK REWARDS Keep your streak alive to unlock rarer and more legendary Beasts. • DETAILED STATISTICS Track your daily steps, distance, calories, and 7-day averages — plus motivating charts and comparisons. • WIDGETS THAT MOTIVATE Watch your egg evolve as you move — right from your iPhone home screen or Lock Screen. • APPLE WATCH & APPLE HEALTH Steps are tracked automatically from your iPhone, Apple Watch, or any Apple Health‑compatible wearable. • NEVER LOSE PROGRESS Your steps, Beasts, and Journey are safely backed up to iCloud, so switching to a new iPhone is effortless.
