But… because walks for the dog don’t seem to count unless you start them via the “play” button is kind of annoying. Half the time I don’t remember because other step trackers I use simply pull the data from the health app.
Fun and different

This app feels different than the rest I’ve used. I actually feel excited about tracking my steps. Most step tracking apps annoy me before I even get to using them. This is more grounded and once I linked my Apple account it tracks all my steps even when I’m not “walking Spark(my pup’s name).”
Fun & healthy

I’ve been using this pedometer app and it’s made walking so much more enjoyable. I’m working toward 10k steps a day, and having a virtual dog to take care of keeps me consistent. The challenges and friendly competition make it even more motivating.
Cute and fun but buggy

It’s a fun way to walk more but the in-app feedback section doesn’t work. Steps aren’t counted unless you use the walk feature and even then they’re not accurate. Hope to see an update fixing the main feature of the app.
