Social Steps
authentic ratingA solid social idea for families and friends, genuinely motivating people to stick together and compete. But accuracy lets it down: the count differs from watches by thousands of steps, updates lag for hours, and without the phone or watch on you steps do not accumulate at all. Fitbit and Garmin sync sometimes fails, and support goes silent.
There are not many reviews (75), but they are substantive and varied: people love the social idea and ask for features like a widget and chat, while faulting it for login and sync problems. Store 4.72 is noticeably above text 3.45, but there is no sign of manipulation.
What users love
- A great way to stay connected with family and friends and compete on steps. Simple to use
- And it truly motivates you to walk extra for first place.
What users hate
- The count differs from watches by thousands of steps and updates with hours of delay. Account logouts
- No widget or chat
- And Fitbit and Garmin sync is finicky.
Who it is for
For families and groups on iPhone with Apple Watch who care about social motivation. Those wanting an accurate tracker or using Garmin and Fitbit will feel constrained.
