Walk to make a cat happy. Every step you take today turns into "paw coins" you can spend on food and toys for your cat. And on the days you can't walk? That's okay. Your cat will be waiting in its usual spot. YOUR DAILY NEKOWALK - Steps from Apple Health automatically become coins (100 steps = 1 coin, no daily limit) - Spend coins on food, toys, furniture, and room themes - 140 coat colors and 6 personalities that change how your cat behaves and what it asks for - Adopt up to 140 cats - On adoption day you call out a name and say hello for the first time β the day they arrived stays in their record - Care for a cat and fluff comes off (once a day per cat) - The colour comes from the cat's coat; collect it to make 76 decorations and wearables - Ask Siri or use Shortcuts to hear today's steps, collect your coins, or check on your cat - What your cat got up to while you were away, and night visitors (strays kept in the Guest Book) - Real weather outside the window (turn it on in Settings; approximate location only) - Find a walking course: browse courses in Japan and Taiwan by area. Tap "Nearby" and, only then, your approximate location finds parks and round-trip steps (never stored) - Your adopted cat's coat colour as the app icon, and dress-up photos - Walk Together: once a month, everyone's steps add up to one shared goal. Clear it for a keepsake badge FUR BALL BREAKER (SINCE 4.7) - A small game where you break stacked blocks with your fluff balls - Drag to aim, let go to fire; your next shot begins when they all return - The more fluff you hold, the bigger and stronger your balls - Block patterns behave differently: tough, bouncy, slippy, burst - Three ways to play: Story (300 levels, 30 chapters), Rush, Spark - Fluff from clearing a board goes to the colours your next wearable still needs (you can pick what to aim for) - Skipping it costs you nothing in the main game - Nothing collectible (cats, treasures, the picture book) is game-only A LOOSE LOG (SINCE 4.8) - The Body tab shows "Eaten" and "Moved" side by side - For meals you just pick one of three portion sizes; no numbers to type - The moved side comes from Health. The figures are rough estimates - No calorie targets, no remaining budget - No praise or scolding for gaining or losing GETTING TO KNOW THEM - A favorite food, a favorite game, the time of day they usually turn up, little quirks - Everything you give is kept in Favorites Notes, with its picture and name - Once you're close, your cat starts bringing you things it found lying around (420 kinds in all) FOR THE DAYS YOU CAN'T KEEP UP - Your cat never gets sick, and never leaves - Free "emergency food" keeps your cat fed while you're away - One rest day every week. Resting never costs you anything - Come back after a while and you're greeted with "welcome home" β never a word of blame HEALTH, KEPT GENTLE - Look back on your steps and your weight in the same place, side by side - A quiet weekly report arrives every Sunday - Weight tracking is optional and can be hidden completely - Whether the number goes up or down, it's received the same way β no reward is ever conditioned on losing weight - Step goals adjust in small weekly increments, at a pace that lasts ABOUT PURCHASES & ADS (THE HONEST VERSION) - Coins can never be bought with money - There is no gacha - Everything essential β feeding, cleaning, cuddling β stays free forever - Limited cats and limited themes are nice-to-haves, never must-haves - "Gift Delivery": watch an optional video ad for emergency food, a treat, or a trinket (up to 8 times a day) PRIVACY - From Apple Health we read steps, distance and active energy β plus weight, only if you use it - We never write to Health. What we read is processed on your device. Only if you join "Walk Together" is your daily step total sent (not linked to your name; used only for everyone's total and to improve the app, never for ads) Tomorrow, how about a short walk with your cat?

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Bubbles at none against NekoWalk's shown. NekoWalk's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 8 days). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
