An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Competing with friends and family is addictive and genuinely motivates more walking. But the step count often lies: the app shows 124 steps instead of 13k from Health, and on a smartwatch without the phone in your pocket the count freezes. Fitbit and Garmin sync is shaky and background counting holds up poorly.

What people use it for

For groups of friends and families on iPhone with Apple Watch who want a gamified step competition. Garmin, Fitbit and Samsung owners will suffer from the sync issues.

What reviews praise

A fun competition with friends and family, with avatars, bonks and photo updates, really nudges you to move more.
It has a BeReal-like vibe and pulls you in.

What reviews complain about

Steps often disagree with Health and go missing, and Fitbit and Garmin sync works only sometimes.
Too much is paywalled: a full day, history, upgrades, you pay for each separately.

What users experience

2 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I got 13k steps on my health app and it only logged 124 steps on the stompers app. It is causing me losses in my competition. I MUST WIN.

when you take a photo of your update it gives you free steps like that defines the whole point of the whole app
