Frequently asked questions
Is Step Step really free?
Yes. All your daily step tracking and core stats are free, forever, with no ads. An optional Step Step Pro upgrade unlocks deeper historical trends and advanced tools, but you never need it for everyday use.
Do you collect or sell my data?
Never. Step Step is 100% on-device: there's no backend server, no account, and no analytics or advertising SDKs. Your health data never leaves your iPhone. See our Privacy Policy.
Do I need an Apple Watch?
No. Step Step works great with just your iPhone: it reads step data from the iPhone's motion sensor, and you can record walks, runs, hikes and rides right from the phone. If you do have an Apple Watch (or another device that syncs to Apple Health), that data flows in automatically.
Which devices and data sources work?
Step Step reads from Apple Health. That means your iPhone, Apple Watch, and any device or app that syncs into Apple Health (such as Oura, WHOOP, Garmin or Fitbit) will show up. Setup guides for every brand, plus how to fix mismatched step counts, live here: Connect your watch or tracker.
Is there an Android version?
Not currently. Step Step is built natively for iPhone (iOS) and relies on Apple Health, so there's no Android version today.
How do I log my weight or a workout?
Tap the + button in the tab bar to quickly log a weight entry or record a workout. Weight entries and manual workouts are written back to Apple Health so everything stays in sync.
Can I set a weight goal that is just maintenance?
Yes. When creating a weight goal, switch from Target to Maintain: pick an anchor weight and a comfort band, and Step Step nudges you once if your trend drifts outside it. Completing a loss or gain goal also offers to roll straight into maintenance. Full guide: Maintenance weight goals.
How do streaks and Solar Flare Shields work?
Your streak counts consecutive days you hit your step goal, and each day is judged against the goal you had on that day, so changing your goal never rewrites history. Solar Flare Shields protect missed days automatically, you earn them free at streak milestones, and fresh 1–2 day breaks can even be repaired. Full guide: Streaks & Solar Flare Shields.
What does Step Step Pro include?
Pro unlocks long-term historical trends and comparisons, all-time records, advanced workout and step analytics, extra accent themes, and unlimited goals. You can support development with a small subscription or a one-off lifetime purchase. There are no ads either way.
How do I delete my data?
Because everything is stored on your device and in Apple Health, you're always in control. Delete entries directly in the Health app, or remove Step Step's access in Settings → Privacy & Security → Health. Deleting the app removes all of its own on-device data.
I found a bug or have a feature idea.
Brilliant, please tell us! Email support@step-step.app with as much detail as you can (what you did, what happened, your iPhone model and iOS version). Small apps get better because of messages like yours.
