Two Steps

Two Steps plans walks for you. Tell it how many steps you want to take. It works out a loop that long from where you are and brings you back to your door. You never pick a destination, and you never plan a route. Every walk avoids ground you have already covered. Two Steps remembers where you have been and sends the next route down streets you have not walked yet, so an area you thought you knew keeps turning up corners you have missed. You get a few routes to choose from, each with a name, a distance and a rough time. Pick the one you like and set off. While you walk, the map turns with you. The road ahead stays lit, arrows on the ground show which way the loop runs, and a flag marks the spot where it closes. Put your phone in your pocket and the trail keeps drawing. When you finish, the walk is saved with the line you actually took, your steps, your distance, and how much of it was new ground. You can walk any of them again whenever you like. WHAT YOU GET • Loops from 1,000 to 20,000 steps • Routes that steer around the streets you have already walked • A guided map that turns as you turn • Your trail drawn live, and kept afterwards • A week of steps and your current streak • Walks saved to Apple Health • A Home Screen widget showing your last walk • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen while you are out • An optional daily nudge to get you moving • Light and dark, miles or kilometres YOUR WALKS STAY ON YOUR PHONE Your trails and the ground you have covered are kept on your device. There is no account to create and nothing to sign in to.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Beat Stride 2 at none against Two Steps's 1. Two Steps's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
