Full description
Your friends say they walk 10,000 steps a day. Make them prove it. Step Up syncs real steps from Health Connect, so there's nowhere to hide. Open the app, sync before midnight, and send them a spicy message to let them know you're winning. No ads. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. TURN WALKING INTO A GAME Most step counters and pedometers track your steps, then leave you alone. Step Up makes your daily step count social. Challenge your friends, compete head-to-head, and earn bragging rights when you win. Whether you walk 5,000 or 20,000 steps a day, Step Up gives you a reason to move more. The friendly competition keeps you motivated when willpower alone isn't enough. HOW STEP UP WORKS 1. Create a walking challenge: choose "Most Steps" (highest total in a set number of days) or "Race to Goal" (first person to reach a step target wins) 2. Invite friends: share a challenge link and they join in seconds 3. Walk and compete: the leaderboard updates in real time as your fitness tracker syncs steps from Health Connect FEATURES Step Counter and Fitness Tracker Step Up syncs with Health Connect for accurate, verified daily step counts. No manual entry needed; your phone's activity tracker does the work. Social Fitness Competition This isn't a solo exercise app. Set your status, send messages, and trash talk your way up the leaderboard. Step Up brings the social motivation that generic health apps miss. Multiple Challenge Types Pick your style of fitness challenge: - Most Steps: compete over days; whoever accumulates the most walking steps wins - Race to Goal: set a step goal and race to hit it first Winners Circle Win a challenge and earn the Winners Circle status: an orange halo around your avatar, custom status messages, and a shareable results card to show off your victory. Real-Time Leaderboard See exactly where you stand at any moment. Get push notifications when someone passes you or when a challenge ends, so you never miss the action. Private Friend Challenges Create challenges for your own group, not a feed full of strangers. Step Up is built for friendly competition with people you already know. Daily Step Goals Set a personal daily step target (from 500 to any number you want) and track your walking progress alongside your challenges. WHO IS STEP UP FOR? Step Up is a fitness challenge app for people who walk and want accountability from friends, not strangers on a global leaderboard. If you enjoy friendly workout competitions and need social motivation to hit your exercise goals, Step Up is for you. It works alongside any health and activity tracking you already do. Just install, connect Health Connect, and create your first challenge. PRIVACY AND TRUST Step Up only reads your step count from Health Connect, nothing else. Your health data is never sold to third parties. Built by Dekode (South Africa). Download Step Up, create a walking challenge, and see who in your friend group really walks the talk.
