Meet your new virtual pet. Trot pairs you with a playful dog that reacts to your steps in real time. The more you walk, the happier your pet gets. Reach your daily goal and your pet lights up. Go a while without moving and your pet gets a little antsy, eager for the next walk. Every walk also moves your pet forward. Hit your goals and your dog levels up through playful ranks and earns collectible achievements you can look back on. Trot is a step counter that actually makes you want to move. KEY FEATURES • Real-time step tracking - Syncs with Apple Health and your iPhone's motion sensors for accurate, instant step counts. • A pet that reacts to you - Your pet's mood shifts through the day with your activity: happy, excited, sleepy, or antsy, all based on how much you have moved. • Daily goals - Set a step goal that fits you and follow it on a friendly dashboard with steps, distance, flights climbed, and active time. • Streaks - Build a daily walking streak and watch it grow. Trot celebrates every milestone with you. • Progress and achievements - Level up your pet as you walk and collect achievements for streaks, big days, distance, stairs climbed, sunrise, and weekend walks.
