Is Banana Walk free?
Yes. You can walk, collect every banana and play with friends without paying. There are no ads, and coins can't be bought: they come from walking, quests and achievements.
Does it track my location?
No. Banana Walk never reads your location, and it doesn't use GPS. It reads step counts from your phone's motion sensor and, if you allow it, from Apple Health or Health Connect. It doesn't read any other health data.
Do I need an account?
No. Without one, your progress stays on your phone. An account (Apple, Google or email) backs it up so it follows you to a new phone, and it's needed for friends, gifts and leaderboards.
Will strangers see my steps?
Only on a leaderboard you choose to join. On a public leaderboard, people who aren't your friends see a made-up name instead of your username, and your name and email are never shown to anyone.
I use a wheelchair. Can I play?
Yes. Turn on Count wheelchair pushes in Settings, and pushes recorded in Apple Health or Health Connect, for example by an Apple Watch in wheelchair mode, count as steps.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing is lost except the streak count, and a streak freeze can cover a missed day. Your coins, bananas and progress always stay.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, open the You tab, then Account, then Delete account. You can also ask us to delete it without the app.
