StepDog: Step Counter with Dog
doubtful ratingA charming idea: a dog on your Apple Watch face cheers your steps and motivates you to walk. But the tech stumbles: the complication shows the pet as a white silhouette or vanishes entirely after iOS updates, and step counts are consistently off by a couple thousand for some.

About the rating
The app has sincere fans, but users themselves spot fake leaderboard pets with 20k steps on a Monday morning that then vanish. The 4.25 store average sits well above the 2.81 text average, with only 18% five-stars.
Strengths
What users love

Weak spots
What users hate
- After iOS updates the dog disappears or turns into a white silhouette
- The app crashes on newer iPhones

Who it is for
