FAQ
How are my steps counted?
Trailstep reads your step count and walking and running distance from Apple Health, read-only. It never writes to Health. Steps recorded by your Apple Watch are included when Apple Health on your iPhone has them. While a walk session is open on screen, the app may also read live steps from the iPhone’s motion processor (Core Motion) so progress moves before Health catches up.
Does Trailstep use GPS or my location?
No. The app does not ask for location permission and does not use GPS to follow you. Progress along a trail is calculated from your steps, not from where you are.
How do I restore my purchases?
Open Trailstep and use Restore purchases. This asks Apple to reapply a subscription already tied to your Apple ID. Make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to subscribe.
How do I cancel my subscription?
Subscriptions are managed by Apple. Go to Settings › Apple ID › Subscriptions on your device and cancel Trailstep Pro at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Deleting the app does not cancel the subscription. Refund requests go through Apple.
How do I delete my data?
There is no account and nothing is stored on our servers. Delete the journey in the app, or delete the app, to remove your journeys, settings, and awards. Steps already in Apple Health are controlled in the Health app. You can turn off Trailstep’s access in Settings › Health › Data Access & Devices › Trailstep.
