Your neighborhood is now a block world. StepCraft Go turns every real walk into a game. The streets, buildings, parks and rivers around you are rebuilt in charming voxel blocks from real map data — and your character moves when your body does. WALK YOUR REAL WORLD Step outside and watch your own streets stream in around you, block by block. Every place you know is here: your street, your park, your whole city — reimagined as a living voxel world. YOUR STEPS ARE YOUR LIFE Every real step becomes health. Walk more, live longer, explore further. Steps you take while the app is closed still count when you return — a real walk always pays. CREATURES ROAM YOUR STREETS Pigs, foxes, wolves, bunnies, zombies, skeletons and more wander the world around you. Swat them to earn XP and coins, and keep an eye out for the rare iridium creatures crowned with a violet star — the 1-in-20 prize. COLLECT, UNLOCK, DRESS UP Golden coins line the roadsides — walk past to scoop them up. Spend them on outfits, swords, new creatures and whole new biomes: desert dunes, mushroom forests, frozen snowfields. Defeat 100 of a species to unlock its costume, and hunt iridium rarities to earn the prestige iridium outfits with a floating star of your own. GO ANYWHERE Preview any place on Earth: type an address or landmark and the world rebuilds itself there. Walk the blocks of Paris from your couch — then step outside and come home to your real streets. PRECISE BY DESIGN Movement is driven by your real steps and motion, with GPS keeping you anchored to the map. Optional Camera Boost adds augmented-reality motion tracking for ultra-precise movement — nothing is ever recorded or stored. NO ACCOUNTS, NO FUSS No sign-up, no login. Your world and progress live on your device. Lace up, step outside, and watch your world turn to blocks.

Koshio turns your run into a game of territory. Start a run, go around a block, a park or a whole neighbourhood, and come back to where you started. The moment you close the loop, everything inside it turns your colour on the map. Run over someone else's territory and you take it from them. Then they can come and take it back. HOW IT WORKS 1. Start a run. The map follows your route live. 2. Close the loop. Return to your starting point and the area inside becomes yours. 3. Defend it. Your territory stays on the map until another runner claims it. RUN WITH A CLUB Start a club or join one. Clubs have their own announcement board, their own events and their own member rankings. Organise a run, see who says they are coming, and check them in on the day with the attendance table. KNOW WHERE YOU STAND You have a rank in every city you run in, and a rank in your country. Territory helps, but every run counts towards your score even when you claim nothing. IN THE APP - Live map showing who owns what, and how big it is - Clubs, events and an attendance table - City and country leaderboards - Friends, so you can filter the map to just the people you know - Notifications when your territory is taken, when someone mentions you, and before an event starts - Run history with route, distance, time and calories, and charts of your progress - Cheat protection: every run is checked on the server against speed, distance and movement data, so nobody claims a neighbourhood from a car - Turkish, English and German BACKGROUND LOCATION Koshio needs your location while a run is recording, including when your screen is off or you switch to another app, because the loop has to be tracked without gaps. Continued use of GPS in the background can shorten battery life. Location is only recorded while a run is active, and you can stop it at any time. Koshio is for running outdoors. Watch the traffic, watch your footing, and never enter somewhere unsafe just to claim it. info@koshio.app

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Koshio at every 2 days against StepCraft Go Augmented Reality's weekly. StepCraft Go Augmented Reality's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
