StepDog - Watch Face Dog Reviews

The latest update took away the only cat option. PLEASE put it back. I don’t have any dogs and I loved having a cat that looked like mine walk with me. That’s why I paid for StepDog in the first place. 😭😭😭

Edit: To answer your question I was using the tuxedo cat. It would also be nice to have a solid white cat and a Siamese as well. :)

2nd edit: CATS ARE BACK!! THANK YOU!! Awesome service from developers and now have given them their rightful score of five stars. You made my day, I can alternate between all three of my cat children now. 😻😻Thank you again!

Found it randomly in StepDog Store and downloaded it for my Apple Watch and loved it! I love petting it and hear it bark as it encourages me to get in my steps. Since downloading it I’ve been more motivated to reach 10,000 steps. I wish the dog would move and walk around without you having to tap it. I also wish the accessories like the dog house and the food were free. Other than that I highly recommend.

I’ve used the Pedometer step app for years until I discovered this adorable gem of an app two days ago. I love dogs so this was a no brainer for me to try. However I’ve been disappointed that this app doesn’t record your steps and store the information. On the Pedometer step app, I can see how many steps I’ve taken for several days in a clear bar graph if I open StepDog . I do not mind paying for Location services if I felt that StepDog had all the things I wanted.

Hello! I found StepDog and downloaded it immediately because I love dogs and have an Apple Watch! I have the same phone number and account on my watch and iPad, the only thing I don’t have is StepDog , and it’s on my moms phone. The dog will not show for the watch face. My mom got the same app and everything worked perfectly, so it’s a great app for her!

First off this is a very cute and fun way to track your steps but a couple things…
First I wish all the stuff for your dog was free but that’s ok
Next for some reason my dog doesn’t bark on the watch app which is kind of annoying but everything else is good!
Nice job and keep up the good work 😊

I'd love to have more dog breeds/options. By options I mean like ears cropped or tails docked. Like different preferences of the breed standard colors and looks. Also maybe collar color changes. More not so popular dog breeds like german shorthaired pointers, and great danes, and doberman pinschers. But overall i've never had any problems w/ StepDog on my phone or watch. I LOVE StepDog!! Highly recommended to all my friends!

I bought a new series three for Black Friday 2020, but apparently there’s an even “newer “ series 4 out! My pet passed away several years ago and when I saw his breed was in premium I quickly upgraded. I was so sad to see that the pet wouldn’t appear on my phone and found out it was because I had an “old” Apple Watch. People, I bought this Watch new, not refurbished. I hope they decide to cater to previous series and if they will in the future I’ll change this review.

I love StepDog only problem I have is that I spent the money to have access to all the dogs, which I have but I have it on random and it says u get a new dog each day. I haven’t, I have to go on and change the dog myself.

I upgraded to Apple Watch 6 and the modular face said it did not support StepDog. I contacted support and YW made suggestions on things to try to get my pup on the new watch. I don’t know what magic he performed or what he said to Apple, but now my little friend is on my new watch. Thank you YW!

I've had this for a few weeks now and though it's pretty to look at (once you get the location package and dog selection package), I don't see it ever recording steps I've done. Last night I walked to the grocery store and back which is about 25 minutes (that's not including the steps I've made inside the store). When I returned home, it said 0 steps made. I've yet to get this dog to sleep because it never tracks my steps. What's up with that y'all?!

I love this app cuz I am the type of person to want to have fun and I feel like this app is super fun and I love it so much and it’s the only app like this but my daughter likes to use most of them she find boring every day she tells me about if she reached her goal or not.🐶🏃🏽‍♀️🐈🐱🏃🏼

Oh, and the accessory items get cut off on the main screen. Like the food dish.
But mostly- Black Scottish Terrier, please!

UPDATE- Five stars for delivering the black Scottish Terrier! Thank you!! I don’t see the accessory issue now either, maybe watch or app update fixed it?

StepDog only words on one watch face, even though multiple faces support the middle complication size. Also the weather does not show up on my watch. I get no clouds, just a blank space

This is a fun app and it keeps me walking. I have upgraded to different dogs each day But That complication is not automatic. As I have a cat, I take her for a walk. StepDog needs a bit of tweating and it will be perfect for me. TY

Such a cute app!! A coworker had shown me this on her Apple Watch and I immediately downloaded it and paid to get all of the dogs and cats!! When I got home from work and tried to add it onto my watch, it wouldn’t set up.......leave it to me to NOT READ that you’ve gotta have an Apple series 4 or higher for it to work!!! 😭😭🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️.

StepDog is awesome but should offer a one time purchase for everything ( including weather ) except competitions.

The competitions should be the monthly charge.

Charge more for the initial up front dog breeds and toys and weather.

I’d be willing to pay for it all for $12. But I don’t need the monthly fee but I’d like the weather. I can’t do competitions I’m too old for that.

I think the photos are a little mid guiding because it shows the pet being in the front face but instead you have to go on StepDog on your watch to see the pet. Is there any way for you to add the pet to the watch face?

Fun to compete against similar users or people who live near. It’s anonymous but helps me step it up. I use on my iPhone and Apple Watch.

And then you can get them out there if you want

This is a simple app but I love the idea of a virtual pet that I can watch & see how I’m doing based on my step count. Looking forward to seeing more dog choices like a Rottweiler 😊.

Put more effort in the leaderboard if you are offering it as a feature. Fake pets on there where they will have over 20k steps Monday morning and never took another step again and just simply disappear. It’s not worth the monthly subscription.

I like StepDog and don’t mind paying a reasonable fee. However, I don’t want to pay on a weekly basis. An option for annually would be great.

I just wish I could I could also have a leadership board with friends only and compete with friends!

The pup only shows up on the modular info screen and only in certain positions- like the middle. Otherwise it shows only the name. It needs more room for display hence only certain positions in the face will show the pup. Also it’s a slow to synch. I use other step counters and they keep Up to date. I have to tap on it often times and pet pup to update steps. Other than that it’s fun to use!

Such a fun & cute way to keep track of my step goal. Also love the Apple Watch face feature since I can’t change one of my ring goals to a step goal.
However, when I upgraded in StepDog , the button to change my step goal disappeared. Upset about that, otherwise would’ve been 5 stars for me.

The little default dog/beagle is the only dog that shows in default. When I tap the dog it shows the breed I actually picked and paid for in app. Wish it would show the breed I chose all the time.

Very cute app. It’s a great motivator to get out there and start walking. The only issue is that there is no option to walk a pitbull or a French bulldog. Instead I’m walking my bf dog lol. But other than that I love it.

Really cute idea and I was excited to start tracking my steps instead of just my rings, but it has some issues. I’ll probably look for one that works a bit more consistently rather than pay the 99 cent fee every month.

It doesn’t sync unless you open StepDog and close it again a couple of times, which kind of defeats the purpose of having it in your watch face. Also, I’m not sure why it won’t let me leave the “competition” I’m in. It randomly puts you up against 4 unknown people but I don’t see any way to opt out.

If they could clean up the glitches and charge a one-time fee instead of 98 cents forever, I’d definitely give this one another shot.

This is the best Apple Watch app around I’m obsessed! Its so perfect. Would love more dogs like a white doodle of black Great Dane. Would definitely upgrade my purchase if those were options!

I downloaded this after seeing it on another app thinking it would be super cute on my Apple Watch 9. The phone app keeps crashing (I have a 13 pro max) and there’s no way to add the complication on my watch which is disappointing. If this gets fixed, I may redownload. It’s a cute app and a cute way to motivate your daily steps but doesn’t work.
