Don Quixote Steps
Read full descriptionHide full description
Don Quixote Steps is a pedometer that turns your daily walking into the two great sallies of Don Quixote. Every step you take moves the story forward: leave the study where a gentleman read himself into knighthood, ride out at dawn, get dubbed in a castle that is really an inn, charge the giants that are really windmills, and end the First Part the way the book ends it - in a cage, on an ox-cart, homeward. The cage is not the end. In the Second Part, the strangest adventure of all begins: the First Part has been published, and everyone you meet has read you. Unlock The Third Sally and walk the printed world - the Cave of Montesinos, Sancho's island that has no sea, the Knight of the White Moon on the beach at Barcelona, and the long road home to your own name. 44,000 steps, cover to cover. FEATURES • Steps counted on your iPhone - no account, no ads, no data collection • 13 chapters illustrated with Gustave Dore's engravings (1863), public domain • Spanish lines quoted letter-for-letter from Cervantes's text (Project Gutenberg edition) • Two worlds, one road: the sun-baked plain of Part One, the paper-and-ink world of Part Two • 10 collectible keepsakes, from a bookmark to last year's nest • Apple Watch app: the knight's road on your wrist • One one-time purchase opens the Second Part. No subscriptions. The plain is ochre. The book is white. Walk until you are printed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: TreadQuest at weekly against Don Quixote Steps's every 2 months. TreadQuest also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
