The step counter that turns everyday walking into a national competition. Track your steps, distance and calories, build your daily Activity Score, and climb your country's leaderboard — one walk at a time. Your iPhone already counts every step. Walking Country turns that number into something you'll actually want to check: a daily Activity Score, a national rank and a streak worth protecting. TRACK EVERYTHING THAT MOVES YOU Walking Country reads directly from Apple Health — steps, distance, calories burned, standing hours and VO2 max. No manual entry, no battery drain, no fuss. Your phone is already counting; we make it worth looking at. YOUR ACTIVITY SCORE, EXPLAINED Most apps show you numbers. Walking Country tells you what they mean. The Activity Score distills steps, calories, standing time and VO2 max into a single daily number you can track week over week. Go up. Stay up. WALK FOR YOUR COUNTRY The global leaderboard ranks walkers from every country on earth; your national leaderboard shows exactly where you stand at home. Whether you're chasing the top 10 or just want to beat your neighbor, this is the motivation that keeps a streak alive. RECORD YOUR WALKS Start a workout and capture it all: route map, distance, pace, splits and elevation. GPS routes are processed on your device and never uploaded. EARN WHAT YOU WORK FOR Unlock achievements at real milestones — your first 10,000-step day, your first marathon distance, a 30-day streak, a monthly record. Medals don't sit in a drawer: they appear on your profile and on the leaderboard. SHARE YOUR WALKS Post a workout to your feed — distance, steps, route and a photo. Friends can like and comment. It's the one corner of social media that actually makes you healthier. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your health data stays on your device and in your iCloud — never sold, never shared. Available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. The average person takes 3,000–4,000 steps a day. The recommended target is 10,000. The gap between those two numbers is where Walking Country lives. Download and start walking — your country is counting on you.
