1. The agreement
These Terms of Use are an agreement between you and Foggo Apps (Charles Chiejina, "we", "us") for the Step Tomo app on iPhone and Apple Watch. Your licence to use the app is granted under Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement (the "Standard EULA"); these Terms add the details specific to Step Tomo. If the two conflict, the Standard EULA applies. By downloading or using Step Tomo you agree to both. Our Privacy Policy explains how data is handled.
2. What Step Tomo is
Step Tomo is a step tracker with a virtual pet. Your pet hatches from an egg, grows as you walk and evolves over time. It uses activity data from Apple Health and your device's motion sensors, and it includes an Apple Watch app, complications, walks with an optional route map, collectibles and an in-app shop that uses coins earned by walking.
Step counts come from Apple Health and your devices' sensors and may differ from other apps or devices. Your pet reacts to the data it can read; if you limit Health access, some features won't work.
3. Health and safety
- Step Tomo is for general fitness and fun. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat or prevent any condition. Numbers such as calories, distance and heart rate are estimates.
- Talk to a doctor before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have a health condition, are pregnant, or haven't been active for a while. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or shortness of breath.
- Stay aware of your surroundings. Don't look at your phone or watch while crossing roads, cycling or driving, and respect private property, closed areas and local rules while walking.
4. Step Tomo Premium subscriptions
Your first 7 days with Step Tomo are free. After that, Step Tomo Premium is needed to keep using the app. Premium is available as an auto-renewable subscription, or as a one-time Lifetime purchase (section 5):
| Plan | Length | Price (US) |
|---|---|---|
| Step Tomo Premium Yearly | 1 year, renews yearly | $12.99 per year |
| Step Tomo Premium Monthly | 1 month, renews monthly | $3.99 per month |
Prices in other countries are set in local currency and shown in the app and on the App Store before you buy; taxes may apply.
- Free trial. Eligible new subscribers get a 7-day free trial. Unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends, the subscription starts and you are charged the plan price. One free trial per Apple Account for the Step Tomo Premium group. If you buy a plan during a trial, any unused part of the trial ends.
- Payment. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase (or when a free trial ends).
- Auto-renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the same price and for the same length unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period. If the price ever changes, Apple will tell you in advance and, where required, ask for your consent.
- Managing and cancelling. Manage or cancel any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions on your iPhone, or at apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Cancelling stops the next renewal; Premium stays active until the end of the period you've paid for. Deleting the app does not cancel a subscription.
- Restoring. Use Restore in the app (on the Premium screen or in Settings) to restore Premium on a new device with the same Apple Account.
5. Lifetime purchase
"Lifetime" is a one-time, non-consumable purchase (US $24.99, or the local price shown) that unlocks Step Tomo Premium for as long as the app is offered on the App Store, on devices using the same Apple Account. It does not renew and is not a subscription. You can restore it with Restore. If you already have a subscription, buying Lifetime does not cancel it automatically; cancel it in your subscription settings to avoid further charges.
6. Coin packs and eggs
Coin packs (US $0.99, $2.99, $6.99 and $14.99, or the local price shown; for example 500 coins for $0.99) are optional, consumable in-app purchases. Each purchase adds its coins to your balance once, on the device you bought it on; coin packs are used up when delivered, so they can't be restored with Restore. Coins are also earned by walking (1 coin for every 100 steps) and by selling items your pet finds on walks.
New eggs are bought with coins (2,000 coins). You choose the egg's species; it arrives in your home and hatches after you walk on 3 days. Every egg, including your first, has a 1 in 64 chance to hatch as a shiny (rare colour) pet. This chance is shown before you buy and is revealed when the egg hatches. If purchased coins don't arrive, close and reopen the app; if they still haven't arrived, contact us.
7. Coins, items and pets
Coins can be earned by walking and playing or bought in coin packs; they can't be sold, cashed out or exchanged for real money or anything outside the app. Coins, shop items, collectibles, pets and levels are part of the game: they are licensed to you, not owned, and have no monetary value. We may rebalance the game (for example how many coins an activity earns, or level thresholds) to keep it fair and fun. Your progress is stored on your device and backed up to your Step Tomo profile, so reinstalling the app restores it; if the backup is unavailable, progress may not be recoverable.
8. Refunds
All purchases are processed by Apple, and we don't have access to your payment details, so we can't issue refunds ourselves. To request a refund, go to reportaproblem.apple.com and follow Apple's steps; Apple decides refund requests under its own policies. This doesn't affect any rights you have under the consumer law of your country. If something went wrong with a purchase in the app, email us and we'll help.
9. Acceptable use
Please don't:
- Copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or resell the app, except where the law expressly allows it.
- Use cheats, automation, modified clients or step-faking devices to gain coins, levels or rankings, or exploit bugs instead of reporting them.
- Interfere with or overload any service connected to the app.
- Use pet names, player names or anything else you add to impersonate someone, harass anyone, or share hateful, sexual, violent or illegal content.
If you break these rules we may limit your access to online features. Offline, single-player use is governed by the Standard EULA.
10. Friends and community
The Friends tab is currently a preview with sample friends. When friends, friend codes, leaderboards, visits and treats go live, these extra rules will apply:
- You choose who to add. Only add people you know, and share your friend code with people you trust.
- Your name, your pet (name, species, stage, level) and your daily step total may be visible to the friends you add, as described in the Privacy Policy at the time.
- Be kind. Don't use names, messages or anything else to bully, harass, threaten, spam or impersonate anyone, or to share anything sexual, hateful or illegal.
- You'll be able to block and report people in the app. We review reports and may remove content, hide names or suspend accounts that break these rules.
- You'll be able to delete your account, and its data, from inside the app at any time.
We'll update these Terms and tell you in the app before these features start.
11. Intellectual property
Step Tomo, its pets (including Sprig, Kindle, Trundle, Puff and Scout), artwork, animation, music, sounds, text and code are owned by Foggo Apps or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Using the app doesn't give you any ownership of them. You're welcome to share screenshots and short recordings of your own pet for personal, non-commercial use. Press can use the materials in our press kit.
If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them without obligation to you.
12. Changes to the app
We keep improving Step Tomo, so features, pets, items and content may be added, changed or retired. We'll try to give notice of significant changes to paid features. Some features depend on Apple Health, Apple Watch and iOS versions; the minimum requirements are shown on the App Store.
13. Disclaimers
To the extent the law allows, Step Tomo is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, including accuracy of step counts, distances, calories, heart rate or other data, or that the app will be uninterrupted or error-free. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain warranties to be excluded, so some of this may not apply to you.
14. Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Foggo Apps won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data or progress, arising from your use of Step Tomo, and our total liability for any claim relating to the app is limited to the amount you paid for it in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.
15. Apple
These Terms are between you and Foggo Apps, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Step Tomo or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for it, and is not responsible for any product liability, legal compliance or intellectual property claims about it. If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may notify Apple and Apple will refund the purchase price for the app (if any); Apple has no other warranty obligation. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them. You confirm you're not in a country subject to a US Government embargo and not on any US Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version on this page with a new effective date and, for material changes, tell you in the app. If you keep using Step Tomo after a change takes effect, the updated Terms apply. If you don't agree, stop using the app and cancel any subscription.
