Stompers - Steps with Friends 9+

Such a fun app!!

This is such a fun concept and straightforward design. This app is easy to pick up and enjoy throughout the day without it taking any additional time out of your day staring at yet another app… it’s just easy and fun. My husband and I have only been using it for a few days but we are getting ridiculously competitive over it already.

You may find yourself speed running in place like a nutcase every evening trying to overtake your friends, but it’s definitely worth it. Stompers has already helped me stay more in touch with a few friends than I normally do, and truly helps me stay a little more active throughout the day!

My ONLY recommendation to the developers is to add usernames below each character when you’re selecting where to use a bat/banana/sign because some of these characters look similar and it’s hard to tell who’s who! Other than that it’s so perfect!!!

Glad to hear you're enjoying the app and are reconnecting with friends. We're working on some improvements UX improvements for items. Your feedback is appreciated!

This app has been an awesome way to keep in touch with my family and get my steps in!

My family is scattered across the US. We have a group chat but there isn’t always stuff to talk about.

I tried Stompers after hearing people talk about it on X (formerly Twitter, RIP). It makes getting your steps in enjoyable and the design/aesthetic/gameplay is so fun.

I shared it in my family group chat and now we’re all stomping together. The daily game makes us all feel closer, and our group chat is way more active now that someone always has something to brag about (or poke fun).

Love to hear that our lil app helped your family stay connected. Thank you for supporting Stompers 🖤

Fun game, but UX isn't perfect.

This is a super fun game to play with your friends, as you have essentially a remote walk-a-thon every single day. You can sabotage your friends by hitting their avatars with baseball bats, or making them slip on bananas, which is quite enjoyable.

The only complaint I have is that some parts of the UX are very annoying. One example of this is the fact that target selection for baseball bats or bananas only allows you to step through all your friends one-by-one with arrow buttons. This spam clicking to find the one target you're looking for can be very tedious when you have many people added on the app. Why not allow for users to use the same slider from the main screen to pan over their friends and tap to select a target? That would be a lot less tedious. Furthermore, the game can be pretty laggy at times, with my friends suddenly jumping up 1000 steps at times out of nowhere, and baseball bats/bananas just... not doing anything when used.
