=======================


🔸 STEPN is showing a different speed / different distance / different run path compared to my Strava / Fitbit /Google Fit!

Due to a combination of several factors, STEPN's speed, distance, and run path may be different even when run side by side with other pedometer apps. This is due to several reasons: 

  • Since STEPN movement translates to cryptocurrency gains, STEPN uses stricter parameters for measuring distance and speed. For example, a regular pedometer may approximate your location indoors when GPS reception is poor, whereas STEPN used indoors will simply stop measuring distance or speed altogether, and just show  a "moonwalking" message.
  • STEPN will not work nor record your metrics when internet connection is lost. 
  • STEPN will not work nor record your metrics when there is no GPS signal. 
  • SMAC (our anti-cheating mechanism) may not record the run metrics as valid if SMAC does not detect readable human movement.
