Fold your phone. Face the goal. On iPhone Duo, Penalty Area: Face2Face makes the fold part of the game. You're not just looking at a goal. You're facing goalkeeper ED. On iPhone and iPad, the same shot-making challenge is right at your fingertips. One ball. One goal. One more shot. Swipe through the ball to strike it. Hit it hard, place it in the corner or bend it past ED. Your swipe's speed and curve shape your shot. You can even use another finger like a planted foot for support. Try different strokes and find your own style. FOUR WAYS TO PLAY The Run: keep scoring until your first miss. Fifty: see how many you can score from 50 shots. Duel: challenge a friend on the same device. Practice: get a feel for the ball without chasing a score. Beat your personal best. Climb the world rankings. Find a new way past ED. MAKE EVERY GOAL COUNT Level up for every 10 goals you score in The Run and Fifty. Reach level milestones to unlock Game Center achievements. THE STORY BEHIND ED As a child, game creator Eray Dinç trained under legendary goalkeeper Ilie Datcu. Life took him in another direction, but the dream never left. In Penalty Area: Face2Face, his unfinished goalkeeping career lives on with every shot you take. No ads. No subscription. Start with free runs in The Run. An optional one-time purchase unlocks all four modes and unlimited play. ED is ready. Where will you put it?

I am Unit 10,000. I track your steps, water, habits, and focus, and I only react to what actually happened. You have tried streak apps before. They rewarded you for tapping a button and forgave you for lying. I do neither. Every reaction I make is checked against real data from Apple Health and your device sensors. This is not motivation. It is accountability with a dry sense of humor. VERIFIED, NOT VIBES Apple Health is my source of truth for steps. The motion pedometer supplies live updates while you walk, so my face changes when your legs do. Water logged in other health apps imports automatically, with protection against counting the same glass twice. Habits are confirmed through check-ins. Your goals only adjust after at least three days of recorded data, because one good Tuesday proves nothing. YOUR WATCH COUNTS TOO Apple Watch steps arrive through Apple Health. So do steps from other watches and trackers, like Garmin or Fitbit, once you turn on Health sharing in their apps. I show which watch is sending steps today and Apple Health removes the double counting. I can still tell when you sat down. STEPS WITH A SMART GOAL Your daily step target adapts to your 7-day rolling average, nudging you 6 to 20 percent higher with sensible floors and caps. Ambitious enough to matter. Realistic enough that you will not quit by Thursday. WATER, IN MILLILITRES Log hydration precisely and follow an hourly plan that spreads intake across your day. I will notice if you have been living on coffee. I will say something about it. HABITS AND DEEP FOCUS Create custom habits with sarcastic reminders and check-ins. I stretch, sleep, and react accordingly. The focus timer runs from 1 second to 24 hours across 10 character phases, with Live Activity and Dynamic Island support so I can watch you concentrate from the lock screen. I EVOLVE. SLOWLY. HONESTLY. I have 20 forms. Which one you see depends on your yearly daily average, not a lucky afternoon. Chase a yearly goal, unlock achievements, and watch per-card reactions that reflect exactly how you are doing. Improvement is visible. So is slacking. PHONE TO PHONE SYNC Have a second phone? Export a sync file from this app and import it on the other side. Drinks, habits, timer sessions, badges, evolution points and step history are merged, never overwritten. No server. No account. COMPETE, IF YOU MUST Game Center daily leaderboards for steps and water, plus friend challenges on iOS 26 and later. Your friends can now disappoint me too. WIDGETS THAT TELL THE TRUTH Home Screen widgets and Live Activities show my exact state from the app. No decorative optimism. What you see there is what I think of you in here. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your data stays on your device and syncs through your own private iCloud. I do not need to know who you are. I only need to know whether you walked. Download Unit 10,000 and give me something real to react to. I will be here. Waiting. Judging, lightly.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Unit at none against Penalty Area's 1. Unit also leads on iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). Penalty Area's advantage is chart position (#121 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
