Stompers: Step Counter Friends
authentic ratingCompeting 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.

About the rating
Reviews are lively and detailed, praising and criticizing on substance: a real social competition mechanic with friends, but persistent step-sync problems and lots of paywalls. Store 4.75 sits a bit above text 3.55, but with no signs of manipulation.
Strengths
What users love
- 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.
Weak spots
What users hate
- 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.
Who it is 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.
