Once you Step, you just can’t stop!

Normal pedometers count your steps. Step Buy Step is different. Each step you take in the real world earns you Stepps.

Walk ten steps and buy a Dog. Your canine companion adds an extra 4 Stepps to each of your own steps! Get 100 Stepps and it’s time to buy a Flock of Sheep. Now you’re really cooking: 40 Stepps per step and you’re covering 100 yards with every fall of your feet.

Buy over 40 creature companions wholl join you on a journey around the world and beyond! Want to know what it’s like to cross an entire country with a single stride? We can show you: Step Buy Step.

Made by Six to Start, co-creators of the world’s bestselling smartphone fitness game with over a million players, Zombies, Run!

"Clever and fun" - The Guardian
"Decidedly cute and fun... makes checking out your pedometer more entertaining" - Lifehacker

A CAVALCADE OF CUTE COMPANIONS
From a canine compatriot to a helpful hedgehog, Step Buy Step includes dozens of animals who will help you complete your challenges. Every animal increases how many Stepps you earn for each step you take, and you’ll need every Stepp you can get if you’re going to win your wager with Phileas Fogg himself!

AUTOMATIC STEP-TRACKING
Step Buy Step lives up to its name: it’ll track every step you take, letting you see just how far you walk every day. But this isn’t just some stuffy statistics tracker. This is a pedometer adventure game! With our moreish upgrade system, every step will take you further than the last, until a single step will cover miles.

OPTIMISED FOR IPHONE 5S, 6 & 6 Plus
Got the iPhone 5s, 6, or 6 Plus? Then you’ll love Step Buy Step — we use the M7 and M8 to count your steps even more accurately and with even less battery usage.

NOTES
- Requires iOS 7
- Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Step Buy Step uses your phone’s accelerometer to measure your movement, and primarily uses wifi and cell towers to track location. We also use GPS sparingly when for tracking your walking routes.

Pros and cons of Step Buy Step: A Pedometer Adventure app for iPhone and iPad

Step Buy Step: A Pedometer Adventure app good for

Absolut super. Ich möchte immer weiter laufen. Ein Manko. It Works in the CAR. Need a Button to Stop for car.
its a great app to have running in the background when your playing other six to start running games like the walk and zombies run! Its kind of like cookie clicker for walking.

Some bad moments

Neat app, interesting premise, beautiful graphics. But needs more to it. Friend challenge to make it social. NEEDS HealthKit support. Cant recommend it just yet, but it shows promise.
Cute game. A lot more people would enjoy the game if you added support for fitbit and other exercise trackers. Not everyone wants to carry their phones all the time! Thank you for the app and keep up the great work!
Great start. Needs a little something more though. Agree on needing fitbit synch - much more accurate than the phone step counts.
Its a great app with a fun story (like always). It would be nice if there was a way to connect to Facebook or something to see your friends and how far they have walked. Other than that, get it, youll love it.
Cute graphics, fun dialogue, and the next reboard is always just a few more steps away
Absolutely loved the app and kept me interested enough to play it all the way through. Would love to see more challenges, more levels, and more things I can use my stepps on. Id be willing to purchase expansion packs, another 5 levels or even more would be fantastic.
