Walk more with a little buddy who grows alongside you. Pathlings turns your real daily steps into a cozy game. Choose a tiny creature, give them a name, and help them grow through five forms as you reach milestones and finish quests. There are snacks to share, Rubies to collect and a home to make your own. • Find your walking buddy. Start with a leaf-eared forest mouse, a lava frog or a water panda, each with their own personality and five forms to discover. Feed them snacks, play with toys, and watch them grow. • Make room for more friends. Save your Rubies to adopt other Pathlings, including a storm owl and Pebblehorn, the sandstone rhino. Decorate their home with plants, lanterns and treasures, unlock new habitats, and watch your little crew wander around together. • See who walks the most. PathLeague turns your weekly steps into a friendly race with your Game Center friends. See their Pathlings, chase a place on the podium, and win weekly Ruby prizes. Earn 100 Rubies for each new friend you add who plays Pathlings. • Turn your steps into playtime. Earn a Trail Run pass halfway to your daily goal and another when you reach it. Then dash down forest, volcanic, underwater, mountain or canyon trails: switch lanes, jump over obstacles and collect Rubies to bring home. • Take your Pathling for a stroll. Follow your walk live on your iPhone’s Lock Screen and look back on your outings in Walk History. Walk half your daily goal in one stroll, with a minimum of 2,000 steps, to earn 50 bonus Rubies once a day. • Find a pace that fits. Choose your own daily step goal and change it whenever you need to. Complete daily and weekly quests, collect badges, and look back on your progress with a weekly recap. When you need a day off, a Rest Day Shield can protect your streak. • Keep your buddy close. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets let you check in at a glance, with Feed and Play shortcuts on the Home Screen widget. See your synced progress and PathLeague race on Apple Watch, start and end walks from your wrist, or ask Siri to start a stroll. Pathlings counts your steps using Apple Health and your iPhone’s motion sensor. Free to play with optional Ruby packs. No ads, no subscriptions, and no Pathlings account needed. PathLeague is optional and uses Game Center. Choose your buddy and take your first walk together.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Pathlings at free against EggVentures's free with in-app purchases. Pathlings also leads on review sentiment (83% vs 60%). EggVentures's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (27 vs 6). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EggVentures holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 27 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of EggVentures's written reviews are positive against 83% of Pathlings's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

EggVentures ships an update every 2 days, Pathlings weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
