They worked together and played together, turning the Layabots’ activity output into energy source for Wokamons. However the Layabouts got too lazy and eventually stopped moving. Wokamons got super weak and mega sad. In order for Wokamon to thrive again, Wokamon elders decided to send some young and brave Wokamons to plant Earth to harness energy from the human race and to start their adventure. ------------------PLEASE NOTE-------------------- Permissions - Make sure to grant all permissions when asked to authorise with the Health App to make it work.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Stepics at none against Wokamon's 10. Stepics also leads on ads (none vs shown). Wokamon's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 18) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wokamon holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wokamon has 1.5K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Wokamon's written reviews are positive against 75% of Stepics's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
