Read full description

Step Squad Go turns your daily steps into character transformations. Choose a character, set your daily step goal, and start a 3, 7, or 10 day transformation. Each day you reach your goal, your character gets closer to their fit form. Complete the full streak to earn a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal and add the transformed character to your squad. Step Squad Go is designed to make walking feel more rewarding. Instead of only seeing numbers, you build a growing team of characters shaped by your real daily activity. Features: - Start 3, 7, or 10 day transformation challenges - Set your own daily step goal - Transform characters by completing daily goals - Earn Bronze, Silver, and Gold medal versions - Build and grow your personal squad - Unlock extra characters with optional rewarded ads - View your progress on Apple Watch - Use Watch widgets to keep an eye on your active transformation - Join the leaderboard only if you choose to share your daily step summaries - Switch between English and Turkish - Delete your account directly from the app Privacy-first progress: Step Squad Go reads step count from Apple Health only after you give permission. The app does not upload raw HealthKit history, minute-by-minute activity, or hourly movement data. Challenge progress uses daily step summaries, and leaderboard participation is optional. Step Squad Go is built for motivation, consistency, and habit building. It is not medical advice or a medical tracking app.

Fuji, the Empire State Building and more.
