StepFeud turns your daily steps into a private game with friends. Start a feud, invite your crew, and let Apple Health power the competition. Every step moves the leaderboard, but the real chaos starts in the word battle: guess the five-letter word, earn power from walking, add guesses when you need one more shot, burn a rival's spare guesses, and watch the ranks shift all day. It is part fitness challenge, part word game, and part friendly trash talk. A lunch walk can save your round. An evening lap can give you the power to catch up. A single guess can make the group chat loud again. With StepFeud you can: - Create private step feuds for friends, coworkers, family, and rivals. - Compete on daily steps, total steps, word progress, rounds, and guesses. - Play a feud-scoped five-letter word battle. - Earn step-powered actions by moving more. - Use Guess to add another chance. - Use Burn to take a spare guess from a rival. - Watch live ranks, comments, taunts, and spectator counts. - Sync steps from Apple Health and Apple Watch. - Set goals, manage notifications, and keep your streak alive. StepFeud is built for small groups where the competition is personal. Walk more, guess smarter, talk a little smack, and make every day a feud worth checking.
