Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about EarthWalk — the step counter that takes you around the world.
Does EarthWalk work on iPhone only?
Yes. EarthWalk is designed exclusively for iPhone. There is no Apple Watch or Android version at this time.
Do I need to create an account or log in?
No. You can start using EarthWalk immediately — no login, no account, no sign-up required.
How does EarthWalk track my steps?
EarthWalk reads the step count your iPhone records in the Health app. Your iPhone does the counting, so steps taken while the app is closed still count.
Will EarthWalk drain my battery?
EarthWalk doesn't count steps itself — it reads what your iPhone has already recorded — so its battery impact is minimal.
