Pupstep vs Loop

A little dog. A little reason to walk. Pupstep turns your everyday steps into time with a virtual companion. Start with a free Corgi, give them a name, and keep your pup nearby on your iPhone and Apple Watch. • Track your steps and walking distance with Apple Health. • Tap your pup for a hello and celebrate reaching your daily goal. • Dress your dog and collect a memory each day you reach your goal. • Keep a journal of your walks and share your favorite postcards. • See your dog and progress on your Home Screen, Lock Screen, Watch face or Smart Stack. On Apple Watch, check today’s activity and remaining goal at a glance. After the first sync, your Watch can read activity locally while your iPhone is away. Setup, outfit selection, purchases, memories and rewards stay on iPhone. Requires watchOS 26 or later. Each breed has its own daily goal. Missed goals can make your pup chubbier; reaching your goal helps them get back in shape. Your bond stays. French Bulldog, Jack Russell and extra accessories are optional one-time purchases. No subscriptions, ads or account. Your data stays on your devices. Sharing is your choice.

LOOP — EVERYTHING YOUR WATCH KNOWS, IN ONE CLEAR OVERVIEW Your Apple Watch measures more than you ever get to see. Loop shows all of it on one calm page, no searching, no tapping through menus. Open the app and your latest run is right there: distance, pace, heart rate, splits, the weather, the route. Swipe for the run before it. CLASSIC DESIGN Warm paper, one amber accent, big clear numbers. No loud colors, no feed, no ads, no account, no subscription. Loop is designed like a good instrument: everything you need, nothing that distracts. THE WEATHER DURING YOUR RUN What no other app does: the weather at the moment you ran. Temperature, feels-like, rain and UV, and for every kilometer whether you had a headwind or a tailwind, calculated from the wind direction and your heading. Now you know why that one kilometer felt harder. WHEN TO GO A score from 1 to 10 for running, cycling, walking and outdoor sports, right now and hour by hour for the rest of the day, with the reason: warm, wind, rain, strong sun. "Best from 6 to 8 pm" — that's all you need to know. EVERYTHING YOUR WATCH RECORDS • Splits per kilometer or mile with pace, heart rate, wind and temperature • Heart rate, cadence, running power, stride length, ground contact time, vertical oscillation, elevation • Cycling power, cadence and speed from paired sensors • The route on a map • Charts in your order: put what matters to you at the top RECORDS Your fastest 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20 km, half marathon, 25, 30, 40 km, marathon and 50 km — the top three per distance, even when it was a stretch inside a longer run. A run with a record gets a medal. WORKOUTS Create a pace run, heart rate run or intervals on your iPhone (warm-up, blocks by distance or time, repeats, cool-down). They go to the Watch by themselves. While running you see a speedometer: up is on target, left too slow, right too fast; outside the band you get taps. Share a workout as a TCX file with Strava, Garmin or Komoot. LIST AND FAVORITES All workouts by month, filtered by running, cycling, walking, swimming, other, distance and favorites. Tap and you're in the run. PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone. Loop only reads from Health, writes nothing, and has no server of its own. Weather comes from Apple Weather. For iPhone, with workouts from Apple Watch or any app that writes to Health, such as Strava or Garmin. English, Dutch, German, French and Spanish. Kilometers or miles, °C or °F, following your device.
