Frequently Asked Questions

How does step tracking work with my phone?
StepUp uses your phone's built-in fitness tracker on iPhone and android phones. Your phone counts your steps from your pocket, hand or bag in the background without impacting battery.
No need for a fitness band or separate pedometer! But you can also sync steps from a fitness band via Apple Health or Google Fit if you'd like.
StepUp works with just your phone. And you can also sync steps from supported wearables to StepUp via Apple Health or Google Fit.
In StepUp, go to Settings > Sync with Wearable to set this up.

iPhone/Apple Health supported devices: Apple Watch, Jawbone, Garmin, Withings, Misfit, Pebble, Xiaomi, Mi Band and many more.

On Android, you can sync wearables to StepUp via Google Fit. You can sync Fitbit to Google Fit via Google's Health Connect app.

On iOS, you can sync wearables to StepUp via Apple Health (StepUp > Settings > Sync Wearable). But unfortunately Fitbit doesn't sync with Apple Health directly. So you'll need to use a 3rd party app like Sync Solver or Power Sync. Check out these posts for details.
Sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook and send friends your unique invite link. You will see them in StepUp once they tap your invite link and accept the invite.
Note: If your friends are not on StepUp yet, the invite link will take them to the app store to install it. Then they need to sign in on StepUp and tap your invite link again to add you as a friend.

If you sign in with Facebook, you will be able to automatically see your Facebook friends who have also signed in with Facebook on StepUp. You can still invite other friends who are not on Facebook via your unique invite link.

You can control which friends you see (and who can see you) in StepUp.

NOTE: We NEVER post or share your steps data anywhere.

StepUp makes it dead simple to host fun & engaging step challenges for FREE!
You can add friends individually on StepUp or create a “group” to easily add people with a single invite link.

How does a group work?
You can create a group on StepUp & send participants an invite link over email/text.
Participants can download StepUp & join the group via the invite link.
Participants will see a group leaderboard - for daily, weekly & monthly steps.
We support 1500+ users in a group.

How can I run a step challenge?
You can announce weekly winners every Sunday/Monday afternoon. Or monthly winners every month.
Group admins can export weekly, monthly or custom date range email reports, which include sum total steps taken by everyone.
Group vs group competition: Create multiple groups to compete for total steps or average steps/person (available via exported reports).
To start a challenge on a specific date, create the group & invite members a few days earlier. Then export report from the start date.

How much does it cost?
We want StepUp to be accessible to everyone, so it's completely FREE.
We support our work & mission via ads and donations from happy customers - buy us a coffee? :)

How can I join a group?
If you have StepUp already, just tap the invite link on your phone to join the group.
If you don't have StepUp yet, tapping the invite link will let you download StepUp. Then tap the link again to join the group.
You can also copy & paste the invite link into "+ button" > Paste invite link.

Active Bot & Chill Bot are virtual friends in StepUp that walk about 10K & 2K steps respectively.
Many users like to pace themselves against them, and enjoy the gamified competition & motivation.

You can hide (block/remove) them if you'd prefer, by swiping left on them in the leaderboard list, or by tapping on them, and tapping on "Hide" button in the top right.
By default, no one other than you can see your steps in StepUp.
We NEVER post or share your step data anywhere.

If you add friends, then only your friends will be able to see you & your steps.
You will be able to see each other's today steps, yesterday steps, 7-day average steps and head to head record.

You can privately hide (block) any friend on StepUp and then they won't see you in StepUp, and you won't see them.
You can sign in with Google, Apple or Facebook and add friends via your unique invite link.
You can privately hide any of these friends in StepUp. You won't see hidden friends, and they won't see you in StepUp.
You can "unhide" them at anytime from StepUp settings.

NOTE: This is only within the StepUp app, and doesn't affect Facebook in any way.
My friends in StepUp disappeared. Help!
This shouldn't happen, but if it does, please try signing out of StepUp (Settings > Sign out), and signing back in. That should fix the issue. If that doesn't work, please email us at team@thestepupapp.com.

Note: If you're seeing some friends in StepUp but missing just one specific friend, it's possible that that person deleted their StepUp account, or hid you on StepUp.
StepUp uses your phone's built-in fitness tracker, which counts your steps from your pocket, hand or bag. Studies show that phone activity trackers can be more accurate than wearable activity trackers.
StepUp uses your phone's built-in step-sensor/fitness tracker, which works in the background without impacting battery. Apps that use your location drain battery, but since StepUp doesn't use your location, it is very battery friendly! :)

Pratik wanted to use a step tracking app that was social, engaging & fun - but was surprised to see that he couldn't find one. So he, Pranip and friends built StepUp with a mission to make being active more fun & social.
Thank you - nothing makes our day more than a happy user! :)
Our mission is to make being active more fun and social!
