1. 5/5Dev team A+ and fun app

   As an avid walker, when I saw this app I thought it might fun to give it a try to pus me through the days I don’t wan to get off the couch. The apps functions are pretty great and I’ve totally been peaking at leaderboards and wanting to walk more. What’s actually earned this five star review though was the support from the dev team. I had an issue where my step count wasn’t properly synced from health to app and emailed support at like 5 after I woke up. I got an email back within the hour saying they’d look into and fix it. And they did that day! Not only that but with a growing app this issue I guess came up a couple more times for some other people and they sent out an in app notification AND an email notifying everyone and letting them know how to proceed with next steps. In a time when cash grab apps will easily let you waste money and let you suffer without a response, I greatly appreciated how this was handled and will be continuing to use this app. Highly recommend

2. 5/5Updated review

   Small team. No massive funding rounds. Just quiet, consistent shipping. Every time I open the app there’s something new — a UI tweak, a new reward, a small quality-of-life fix that tells you someone actually cares. The whole thing is built around one idea: make getting healthy actually fun. Steps, streaks, rewards — it’s gamified without being annoying about it. You’re not being lectured about your health. You’re just… playing. And somehow you end up walking more. I don’t take this app seriously and that’s exactly why it works. The moment a health app starts feeling like homework, you delete it. Steppa never feels like that.

3. 3/5Great steps, weak payouts

   If you’re doing this for fitness, that’s good because it’ll help you walk more. But if you’re looking to turn fitness into dollars, this is a waste of your time. This app will definitely have you walking more than you normally would due to the step tracking and money you have to put down that you don’t want to lose. But your payout is usually your buy-in: you put $10 down, a bunch of people lose, but you still only “win” $10. That’s because Steppa pulls fees out of the prize money and that usually leaves you with only your initial buy-in as the prize. The only people making money off this is Steppa.

4. 3/5Fraudulent app and/or bugged

   EDIT: Steppa fixed the missing reward money. I still think the app is a bit sketchy- 1. From last I’ve checked, they aren’t transparent about what % or how much money the dev takes as a cure for each event $ pool. 2. I haven’t checked but it would show incorrect numbers all throughout the app like I mentioned in original review 3. Even when all goes well, based on the fact that the dev takes a cut, and the event organizer takes a cut, your winnings are so small in 90% of cases that it’s not worth it ( you win an event that you paid $25 to get in, and you maybe get back $27, a $2 gain for a week of walking. Or even worse because of the cuts from dev and event creator, you pay $25, win, but only get $23 back, you win and still lose money!) Neat app idea yes, poor execution. A DeFi app without a cut going to dev or event creator would be a step in the right direction. ————————— I tried my first challenge and completed it successfully (10k+ steps for 7 days) but even with the app showing I successfully completed every day with over 10k steps and the green success color, it shows failed for the whole 7 day event and did not pay me. In fact I completely lost the money that I put in to start the challenge I’ll update this review if fixed but either way this app is still sketchy Additionally the UI is bugged or shows falsified daily information for each day of the challenge- the % of how many people are behind changes in a way that does not reflect what is possible (IE if 80% of people are still in half way through the challenge, it’s impossible that 85% of people could still be in the running the following day) Lastly, when you look at the payout history of any user and the challenge info, the math makes no sense and is irregular. There should be an exact formula for how much winners are payed based on the total $ pool size, number of winners and losers, but the data does not make any reasonable sense

5. 5/5Great app which helps motivate and helps give you some money on the side

   Phenomenal app with a clean, easy to use UI. Have been using for a month now and have joined three challenges and all have been fun and rewarding. They force me to change my daily habits and be a bit more intentional with my movements throughout the day to stay more active and hit my step goals. I will say it's not easy! Plenty of days where I have had to get on the treadmill at night scrambling trying to make my goal. The only complaint is that at times, it does take a while for the challenge to settle and pay out. My first challenge took two days and I was not able to join any others while that occurred. The current challenge I just finished is also going through the same issue and I am waiting as we speak for it to get resolved and get paid. Other than that, no complains and I can't wait to see the future for the app especially as it becomes more and more popular and more people sign up to the challenges!
