Review summary

Users praise Steps - Explora for being fun and motivating, with rewarding collectibles and competitive leaderboards. The app shines when players can tailor challenges and enjoy ongoing progression, and many appreciate an active, responsive developer. However, onboarding friction, sign-up paywalls, and several bugs (notably time-zone and wearable syncing) dampen the experience. Monetization is a common gripe, with microtransactions feeling unrelated to real progression. Missing features like an Apple Watch app and social options also hinder some users. Overall, it's enjoyable but reliability and monetization concerns limit its appeal for some.

Pros

Fun and motivating to walk more
Rewarding progression with collectible creatures, skins, and leveling
Leaderboard and events provide ongoing motivation
Customizable challenges suited to different abilities
Active developer and community support

Cons

Onboarding friction and sign-up paywalls/scams
Bugs and syncing issues, including time zone problems and wearable integration
Monetization concerns: microtransactions and pay-to-progress feel
Missing features like an Apple Watch app and social/friend features
Daily logging requirements can feel punitive and cause streak issues

2026-05-28	Tr*****	Gamifying steps like this makes it fun. It does motivate me to walk a little more when it would be easier to keep sitting, multiple times a day. Their update last year I wasn’t a fan of. They made it harder to get perks that help you get prizes. I wish they’d hit a happy medium between the original levels and what it is now. I didn’t see the poll on the Reddit community and I’ll bet a lot of other users didn’t either. I have dozens of apps on my phone and I really don’t go to their communities very often. So I missed it.

2026-04-16	Bu*****	The app is fun and it truly makes me walk more. If you don’t mind spending a few bucks it is even more fun! This developer really cares about users experiences and keeping cheats at bay. Without a good developer, this would be frustrating. He is also active on the discord board. THANK YOU Lucoss!

2026-04-01	Br*****	This app gets me in gear. I get my steps in even on days I would rather stay on the couch because I want that next little critter.

2026-03-08	St*****	This is a pretty good app. Having a tutorial would be helpful. I’ve been using it over a year and still don’t get some things. Also, WHY did you take the steps needed per day away for the monthly challenge??? That WAS the most motivating part of the app. Now, not so much is left. I like collecting the monsters but the best way to collect is the monthly challenge.

2025-12-19	Ch*****	Why isn’t there an Apple Watch app? It’s definitely more accurate than my phone, as I often leave it in my purse at work. My watch is always on me.
