DigSTEP

Walk. Dig. Reveal. Turn every step you take into a treasure hunt. Your real-world steps power a pickaxe that slowly cracks open a rock — and when you hit your goal, a hidden gem is revealed. The walk you were going to do anyway finally pays off. — HOW IT WORKS — • Walk. Your steps (read securely from Apple Health) chip away at the rock, stage by stage. • Dig. Watch the rock crack across multiple stages as your daily steps add up. • Reveal. Reach your goal and pull out the gem hiding inside. • Collect. Every gem lands in your collection — 10 gems across 4 rarities, from common Rose Quartz and Citrine to legendary Moonstone and Diamond. Can you find them all? • Share. Export your reveal as a video or photo card and show off what you dug up. — WHY YOU'LL KEEP WALKING — • A real reason to hit your step goal every day — your "silly little walk" is now excavation work. • Stock your extra steps and set a new rock whenever you're ready. • Home Screen widget shows your rock, your day count, and your progress at a glance. • Light & dark themes, with optional automatic switching by time of day. — OPTIONAL UPGRADES (IN-APP PURCHASES) — DigStep is free to play. If you want rarer finds, faster: • Silver & Gold Stones — guarantee higher-rarity gems on a dig. • Gold Stones can even turn a word you "bury" into an AI-crafted gem, fossil, or relic. • Silver Plan / Gold Plan — auto-renewable monthly subscriptions for unlimited premium stones (Gold also unlocks the stats dashboard). • Stats Dashboard — a one-time unlock for monthly stats and personal bests. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://digstep-api.itella.workers.dev/privacy — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — • Your collection and progress stay on your device. Step data is read from Apple Health and never leaves your phone. • No account. No social feed. Just you, your steps, and what you dig up. Crystal lover, step-counter, or just someone who wants a reason to move — DigStep turns walking into something worth opening. Note: Gem descriptions and "meanings" are for entertainment and inspiration only and are not health, wellness, or financial claims.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Walking Games at none against DigSTEP's shown. On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
