Turn everyday steps into a little journey. Explore landmarks in Japan and around the world with StepScape, and enjoy the miniature scenery you collect. β–  Walk, climb, and collect Japan ・ Clear sightseeing spots with your steps, and add that place's diorama to your collection. ・ Summit peaks and towers with the flights of stairs you climb - one floor at a time. ・ The Tokyo area is free. The more you walk, the more the scenery unfolds: Tokyo Station, Sensoji, Shibuya, and beyond. ・ Tokyo is free for everyone, and if your country has its own pack, its first 3 spots are free too. β–  Your journey lives on your Home Screen The widget shows the place you're walking now and the peak you're climbing, and it moves forward on its own as you walk - you don't even need to open the app. β–  The scenery changes with the time of day The same place looks different at morning, noon, dusk, and night. On supported devices, an on-device AI writes a short line from your guide each day. β–  Turn what you collect into postcards Places you clear become beautiful postcards with classic, polaroid, and stamp-style templates. Share them to keep a record of your journey. β–  All 47 prefectures β€” and now the world Start with the free Tokyo core, then travel across every prefecture from Hokkaido to Okinawa. Beyond Japan lie 43 countries: Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania, Turkey, India, Nepal, China, Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, the USA, Brazil, Peru, the UK, Canada, Mexico, Indonesia, the Netherlands, Portugal, Croatia, Mongolia, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Cuba, Costa Rica, Jordan, the UAE, South Africa, Namibia, Madagascar and Kenya. Fjords, the Matterhorn, the Colosseum, Mont-Saint-Michel, Neuschwanstein, the pyramids, the blue lanes of Chefchaouen, the Serengeti, Cappadocia, the Taj Mahal, Everest, the Great Wall, the stairways of Jiufen, Ha Long Bay, Wat Arun, Angkor Wat, Uluru, the Grand Canyon, Iguazu Falls and Machu Picchu. Every pack is a one-time purchase β€” take a single prefecture, a whole region, or a country. You're not buying a shortcut; you're adding more world to walk through. β–  Your journey is safe Your progress is backed up to iCloud, so it follows you to a new iPhone. Your health data (steps and flights climbed) is read only on your device. It is never collected or sent anywhere. Lace up, and let every step become a journey.

About

UdeTancho

Features
Read full description

UdeTancho is a Japanese-inspired fitness app that automatically counts push-ups and quietly records your daily practice. Place your iPhone on the floor. The front camera reads the movement of your face in real time and counts your push-ups, so you can focus on the movement instead of tapping the screen or counting by hand. β–  Waka Progress As you train, Hyakunin Isshu poems are written one character at a time. Completed poems unlock a modern translation, commentary, and historical background. Your workout record gradually becomes a poetry collection. β–  Poetic Places Map Explore places connected to the poems. Follow poetic place names and the poets' historical centers while the world of Hyakunin Isshu opens up little by little. β–  Records See today's reps, total reps, streaks, and history at a glance. A heatmap makes your practice visible over time. Even small sessions matter when they add up. β–  Built for Sustainable Practice If you leave the measurement screen or if no count is detected for a while, measurement stops automatically. UdeTancho is designed to support a sustainable habit, not unsafe max-rep chasing. β–  Key Features β€’ Automatic push-up counting β€’ Real-time detection using the front camera β€’ Hyakunin Isshu waka progress collection β€’ Modern translations, commentary, and background notes β€’ Poetic places map β€’ Daily records and heatmap β€’ Streak tracking β€’ Japanese & English support β€’ Optional in-app purchase to remove ads Make push-ups a little easier to keep doing.
