Kilograms or pounds?

Both, and you can switch any time in Settings. W7SH stores weights in kilograms and shows them in your unit.

Steps and the flame

What is the flame?

From version 1.3: every day you reach ten thousand steps keeps your flame lit, and the days in a row show next to your name. Each week in a row earns a shield that saves your flame on a missed day; you hold up to two.

How are steps counted? Can people cheat?

Each day is the total Apple Health keeps across your iPhone, watch and other devices, without counting anything twice, and steps typed in by hand never count. No day counts more than thirty thousand, unusual days are reviewed, and the app has Apple confirm the numbers come from the real W7SH app. You can also report cheating.

What are emblems?

Emblems, drawn as weight plates, are earned by walking, keeping at it, the seasons and challenges. The first thousand accounts after launch get a numbered Founder emblem, and the next ones up to ten thousand get Early Joiner.

How do step challenges work?

A duel with a friend, most steps, a team battle, Last Beast Standing (the lowest go out as each day closes), a group goal, a flame race or beat yourself. Invite friends with a link or a QR code, and there is a challenge of the month for everyone.

Who sees my steps?

No one until you turn on activity. Then friends you accept see your flame, your emblems and your steps today, and people in a challenge see your score in it. The city, country and world boards show only a nickname you choose. You can hide all of it, or turn activity off and it is deleted.

On your phone first, with a copy on servers in Frankfurt, Germany, so you can reach it from your devices. The details are in the privacy policy.

Can I bring my history from another app?

Yes. Export a CSV from Strong, Hevy or FitNotes, then import it from Account.
