Loser Buys
Read full descriptionHide full description
Race your friends on steps. When the week ends, the lowest average buys the ice cream. Pick your period: every day, every week from any weekday (Wednesday to Tuesday works), or every month from any date. Your phone counts steps on its own, no watch needed, and Loser Buys syncs in the background. Everyone sees everyone's daily numbers, hand-typed steps are marked, and sick days are built in, so the result is one nobody argues with. HOW IT WORKS - Start a group and share the invite link. Friends tap it and land straight in the group. - Choose the round: daily, weekly or monthly, starting on any day you like. - Choose what the loser owes: ice cream, coffee, dinner, or a few options drawn at random. - Results lock after a grace window, so late syncs still count. FAIR BY DESIGN - Tap anyone to see their day-by-day steps. - Missing syncs, sick days, voided days and unusually high days are shown, never hidden. - Groups decide whether hand-typed steps count. - Score on raw steps, or on improvement against your own last 4 weeks so everyone has a shot. WORKS WITH YOUR TRACKER Your iPhone counts steps with no watch. Fitbit, Garmin, Oura, Whoop, Withings, Polar and others reach Loser Buys through Apple Health, which also stops a watch and a phone from being counted twice. ALSO INSIDE - Me: today's steps and active calories against your goals, streaks, and week and month charts. - Friends: a board of you and your friends for today, this week or this month. - Alerts when someone passes you, when the result is in, and before results lock. - The owes list, so everyone remembers who is buying. FREE AND PRO Free covers 3 groups of up to 10 people, with the last 12 results. Nobody ever pays to join a group, and there are no ads. Pro unlocks unlimited groups and people, full history and all-time records. Loser Buys reads your daily steps, active calories and walking distance from Apple Health. Only your daily step count is shared, and only with friends and groups you join. Terms of Use: https://getloserbuys.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://getloserbuys.com/privacy
