Cute app, but the notifications are insane. I've turned notifications off, but I'll get at least 2 at the same time that are not very helpful. I just got SEVEN notifications at one time, all along the lines of "steps are helpful, steps are healthy, steps are creative". Might delete the app soon if i can't actually turn off notifications.

This app offers very little new compared to built in trackers. I originally downloaded so I could join my company's stair step contest. However, joining a work group requires an account, and an account required a Facebook or Google connection. To me, this is a blatant reach for personalized data, and an increased risk for data breaches. I would rather sign up via email, but that is not an option. So I'm uninstalling. This app just isn't wish the data and space it takes up for what it is.

We now support signing in with Email as well! We do not get any data from Facebook or Google other than your profile info (id, email, profile photo) and we do not share any data with them.

This is an engaging app due to the game-like experience of friendly competition to your peers or to bots (your choice). It is a help to stay on target for daily walking goals. In the unpaid version, there are ads, but I did not find them overwhelming. However, due to the excellence of the app, its simplicity, and use off-line, I have opted for the paid version.
