StepMania is a mini-app within Telegram that monetizes your steps, allows you to compete with friends, set records, earn rewards, and participate in prize giveaways.

The StepMania mobile app is needed to collect data about your steps and distance traveled from your phone through Health Connect, Apple Health, or phone sensors. This data is transmitted to the StepMania mini-app in Telegram, unlocking various features and opportunities.

The StepMania mini-app receives step data from your mobile app, which syncs with Apple Health, Health Connect, or phone sensors. We only use step and distance data. Other data, including geolocation, is not requested or used.

1. Download the StepMania mobile app from Google Play.

2. Open StepMania. The app will automatically request access to body sensors and physical activity—make sure to grant permission!

3. Return to StepMania and tap "Confirm in Telegram". This will open a bot that verifies step synchronization and suggests opening the StepMania mini-app.

Important: Steps will only be recorded after synchronization is enabled. Past steps, taken before granting permissions, will not appear in StepMania.

4. Open the mini-app and check if new steps are being recorded. Now, your physical activity data will be transferred directly to StepMania from your phone's sensors.

Note: Direct synchronization does not support fitness bands or smartwatches—only your phone's built-in step counter is used.

5. If steps do not appear, install Google Fit from Google Play—this can sometimes activate your phone's sensors. Walk for 20–30 seconds, then check if steps appear in Google Fit and StepMania.

If you encounter any issues, contact support.

Direct synchronization with phone sensors

1. Open your phone's settings.
2. Go to "Apps" (or "All apps").
3. Find and select StepMania.
4. Open Permissions.
5. Look for "Wearable sensors" and "Physical activity".
6. Make sure access is granted.
7. Open the main page of the StepMania mobile app and click on the banner "Back to Telegram".
8. The bot will respond with a message confirming the successful connection of steps and a button to open the StepMania mini-app in Telegram.

Important: After granting access, steps will start being transmitted only from the moment synchronization is enabled. Old steps taken before the permissions were granted will not appear in StepMania. With direct synchronization, it is not possible to connect fitness bands or smartwatches – only the phone tracks the steps.

If you encounter issues, please contact support.

1. Check the settings and permissions:
Go to Phone Settings → Apps → StepMania → Permissions.
Make sure the app has access to step sensors and physical activity.

2. Walk for 20-30 seconds with your phone in your pocket.

Important: StepMania only tracks new steps made after syncing is activated. Old data will not be uploaded!

3. If steps still don’t appear, install Google Fit from Google Play – it can sometimes help activate the phone’s sensors. Then walk for 20-30 seconds again and check if the steps appear in Google Fit and StepMania.

If you encounter issues, please contact support.

1. Check the connection of the mobile app to the mini-app. Open the StepMania mobile app, click on the "Back to Telegram" banner, and if the StepMania bot sends a message about successful authorization with the "Open mini-app" button, click the button. The steps should become up to date.

2. If the system detects step manipulation, including manual step entry, those steps will not be displayed in the StepMania mini-app in Telegram. Be cautious: if manipulation is detected, synchronization may be blocked for up to 2 days. With repeated violations, access will be permanently blocked. Please do not use fraudulent schemes to avoid negative consequences.

3. If you don’t have Google Fit, download it from Google Play and open the app.
If you see a banner "Sync Fit with Health Connect", tap on it.

If there's no banner, go to Profile → Settings, scroll down to Health Connect, and enable "Sync Google Fit with Health Connect".

After enabling sync, tap "Set up", choose "Allow all", then confirm by tapping "Grant access".

4. Open Health Connect via Google Play, go to App Permissions, and grant access only to Google Fit and StepMania.

Proceed to Step 3.

5. Return to StepMania and tap "Confirm in Telegram". The bot will confirm successful step syncing and offer to open the StepMania mini-app.

6. Tap the button and check if your steps appear in the StepMania mini-app. Your activity data will now sync from Google Fit to StepMania via Health Connect.

Important: If you installed and set up the app for the first time, step sync may take up to 24 hours.

If you encounter issues, contact support.

If you did not grant access to step data during the first app launch:

1. Open Health Connect via Google Play, go to App Permissions.

2. Find Google Fit and StepMania, then tap "Allow all".

3. Open the StepMania mobile app and tap "Back to Telegram".

4. The bot will confirm step sync and provide a button to open the StepMania mini-app in Telegram.

If you experience issues, contact support.

You can switch to direct step sync without using Health Connect.

How does it work? The app directly tracks steps using your phone’s built-in sensors, without relying on third-party services.

How to switch?
1. Open the StepMania mobile app Settings.

2. Tap "Delete profile" (Don’t worry—your in-app data in Telegram will remain).

3. Reconfigure step syncing by following the direct sync instructions.

Important Notes:

• Fitness bands and smartwatches cannot sync with direct mode—only the phone will track steps.
• You cannot switch back to Health Connect after enabling direct sync. If Google Fit or fitness tracker sync is important to you, avoid switching to direct sync.

1. Make sure your device supports Google services (if Google Play is available, it means supported).

2. Set up synchronization as described in the section "Syncing via Health Connect".

3. If your device does not support Google services, installing StepMania and connecting steps is not possible.

1. Check the number of steps for today in the Google Fit app.

2. If Google Fit also shows 0 steps, it’s possible that the day has just started, and you haven’t taken any steps in the new calendar day.

3. If the step count in Google Fit differs from the mobile StepMania app, check if the synchronization is set up correctly. To set up synchronization, refer to the section "How to Sync Steps on Android".

4. If you only set up synchronization today, sometimes it may take until the next day for the data to start syncing.

If the problem persists, contact support.

1. Check synchronization settings: Make sure synchronization is set up correctly according to the instructions for your platform in the "How to sync StepMania with your device" section.

2. Synchronization delay: If you are on a walk or run, the step count might differ due to a synchronization delay. In this case, wait a bit for the data to update.

1. Check the connection of the mobile app to the mini-app. Open the StepMania mobile app, click on the "Back to Telegram" banner, and if the StepMania bot sends a message about successful authorization with the "Open mini-app" button, click the button. The steps should become up to date.

2. If the system detects step manipulation, including manual step entry, those steps will not be displayed in the StepMania mini-app in Telegram. Be cautious: if manipulation is detected, synchronization may be blocked for up to 2 days. With repeated violations, access will be permanently blocked. Please do not use fraudulent schemes to avoid negative consequences.

1. It is not possible to connect steps via the desktop version of Telegram.

2. To connect steps, open the StepMania mini-app in Telegram from your mobile device and set up synchronization.

When syncing via Health Connect, you need to set up synchronization with Google Fit:

1. Look for the synchronization option in your fitness watch app's settings (it may be named "Connect other services," "Apps and devices," "Manage connections," or "Add accounts").

2. After syncing, the data will be sent to Google Fit, where it can be tracked in the "Journal" section.

3. Regularly update your fitness watch app to ensure proper functionality.

Important: Not all fitness watches support synchronization with Google Fit. If you encounter issues with syncing your watch and Google Fit, contact the support team of your fitness watch.

Direct synchronization does not support connecting fitness bands and smartwatches – only the phone tracks steps.

Open the "Friends" section in the StepMania mini-app in Telegram.

There are two options:

• Copy the referral link (using the double-arrow icon for copying).
• Click the "Invite Friend" button and send the pre-filled message with the referral link to the desired chat from the list of open chats.

Users who join the StepMania mini-app in Telegram through your referral link are recorded in the system as your referrals. You can view the list of your referrals and their activity status in the "Friends" section of the mini-app.

No bonuses are given until the referral syncs their steps. When the referral syncs their steps, two types of bonuses are activated:

• One-time bonus: You receive 10,000 StepMania coins. This bonus is only granted when your referral first syncs their steps.
• Daily bonus: You earn 0.1 StepMania coins for each step your referral takes. This bonus is credited for steps synced on the same day. Note that the daily bonus expires if not collected within the day.

StepMania coins are the in-app currency within the StepMania mini-app in Telegram. They are not cryptocurrency.

There are several ways to earn coins in the StepMania mini-app:

1. Walk and earn coins for every step.
To earn coins, simply walk and regularly sync your steps from the StepMania mobile app to the StepMania mini app in Telegram (steps are converted into coins).
You need to collect your step coins by tapping the “Claim” button at the bottom of the main screen in the StepMania mini app on Telegram.
You can increase the number of coins you earn per step by being more active (see the “Streaks” and “Speed ups” sections for details).

Important: Only steps from the last 7 days are converted into coins.
If you haven’t opened the app or synced your steps for more than 7 days, coins for those steps won’t be credited. You will still see the data in the statistics, but coins will not be awarded.

• Complete tasks. The list of all tasks, conditions, and rewards can be found in the relevant tab. Don't forget to collect your coins after completing a task!
• Invite friends. You can earn additional coins by inviting friends to the StepMania mini-app in Telegram (see "What do I get for inviting a friend?").

The main way to earn coins in StepMania is by converting steps to coins. However, there are some limits:

• A maximum of 20,000 steps can be converted to coins per calendar day.
• Steps exceeding this number will be displayed in both the mobile StepMania app and the mini-app in Telegram, but will not be converted to coins.

No other limitations on earning coins exist.

StepMania coins can be used to:

• Enter prize lotteries
• Purchase various items in the in-app store

It’s a great way to earn valuable rewards for your activity!

No, StepMania coins cannot be transferred or gifted to other users.

No, StepMania coins can only be earned within the functionality of the StepMania mini-app in Telegram. See "How to earn coins?" for more details.

StepMania coins cannot be converted into national currencies.

A streak is the number of consecutive days in which you have walked 1000 or more steps. The longer your streak (the more consecutive days you complete), the greater your reward for the streak.

Having a streak increases the step-to-coin conversion rate.
The more consecutive days you meet the streak requirement (1,000 steps or more), the higher your conversion rate becomes. A streak is activated once per day.
For reaching certain streak milestones, you’ll also receive bonus rewards in the form of coins — in addition to the increased conversion rate.

Important:
A streak remains active from the moment it's activated until the end of the next calendar day, or until the next streak activation on the following day.
If the streak condition is not met on the next calendar day, the streak resets.

The streak grows when you walk 1000+ steps every day without breaks. If you reach this milestone in a day, upon entering the app, a screen will appear where you can claim the streak.
You can activate it once a day, so make sure to check in and not lose your progress!

Yes, the streak can be lost. It lasts until the end of the next calendar day or until the activation of the next streak. If the condition is not met on the next calendar day, the streak is reset, and the value becomes 1, with the conversion rate increase turned off.

This is a bonus that increases the step conversion rate. You can activate it every hour, and it will last until the end of the day. The more often you activate it, the more you get!

Speed up increases the conversion rate of steps to coins. The higher the boost value (the more frequently speed up is activated), the higher the conversion rate of steps to coins within the current calendar day.

Important: Speed up is active from the moment of activation until the end of the current calendar day or until the next speed up is activated within the same day. At the end of the calendar day, all speed ups are reset.

The first speed-up of the day becomes available when you first enter the app, and then it becomes available every hour.

On the main page, below the steps, a "Speed up" button will appear – click it, and the conversion rate of steps will increase. After activation, a timer will appear, showing when the next speed-up will be available.
Use the speed-up every hour to earn even more coins!

At the end of the calendar day, all speed-ups are reset.
