FAQ
Getting started
What is MistyWay?
MistyWay is a fantasy walking game. Steps from your phone's health platform move your character through journeys, quests, streaks, achievements, and a shared leaderboard.
How do I get started?
Install MistyWay, complete onboarding, connect Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, choose a character, and set a daily goal. Only steps after account creation on that signup day can count.
How do I change my daily goal or character?
Open Profile. Use Settings to change your daily goal, or choose Change Character to select another character. A new goal applies going forward and does not rewrite past days.
What happens when I finish a journey?
Finishing a journey does not stop your stats, streaks, or achievements. Premium members can start another journey from Profile → Settings → Restart Journey.
Steps & tracking
Which step source does MistyWay use?
MistyWay reads Apple Health on iPhone and Health Connect on Android. It does not use GPS route tracking.
Does MistyWay work with Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung, or Oura?
Apple Watch steps can count through Apple Health. MistyWay has no direct Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung, or Oura account integration. A wearable's steps can count only when its companion app writes Steps to Apple Health or Health Connect and MistyWay has permission to read them.
Can I add steps manually?
MistyWay has no Add Steps button. It imports the totals available from Apple Health or Health Connect.
Why are my steps missing or different?
First check the total in Apple Health or Health Connect, then check MistyWay's permission and reopen the app. On Android, also confirm that the wearable or phone app shares Steps into Health Connect. For help, send the affected date, device, OS, app version, and screenshots of the source total and permissions. Never send passwords, verification codes, or full card details.
How do streaks work?
A streak is based on synced steps meeting the goal stored for that day, not on opening the app. Changing your goal does not rewrite earlier days. Open the app after reaching your goal so the latest steps can sync. A freeze can protect an eligible missed day when available.
How do weekly quests work?
Each weekly quest has one total step goal for the displayed quest period. It is not a goal repeated every day. Only steps within that quest's start and end dates count, and quest steps are not capped. There is no penalty for an unfinished quest.
Premium & purchases
What is free and what does Premium change?
The free tier currently limits journey game progress to 3,000 steps per day; it does not change your raw real-world step statistics. Premium removes that daily journey cap. Exact subscription prices, family options, and introductory offers vary by country and platform and are shown by the App Store or Google Play before purchase. MistyWay takes no direct payments.
I bought Premium. Can earlier steps be used?
Existing synced records after account creation can be eligible for uncapped recalculation. MistyWay cannot add missing days that Apple Health or Health Connect did not supply.
Can I restart a journey?
Premium members can use Profile → Settings → Restart Journey. It resets steps, days, and map progress for the current journey and cannot be undone. It does not remove your achievements or data in Apple Health or Health Connect.
Do I need Premium for friends or notes?
The core friends list and leaderboard are free. Your first lifetime note is free; additional notes require Premium. Notes are permanent, cannot be edited or deleted, and friends can read or react to them. Do not put private information in a note; report abuse in the app.
How do I restore a purchase, cancel, or request a refund?
Use Settings → Restore Purchases while signed in to the same MistyWay account and store account used to buy. Apple and Google use separate billing systems, so cross-platform receipt restoration is not guaranteed. The App Store or Google Play controls billing, cancellation, and refunds.
Can I pay directly, gift Premium, or use a family plan?
MistyWay does not accept direct card, bank, or crypto payments outside the App Store or Google Play. Gift and family options are available only when shown in the app and can depend on region, account, and platform. Never share store or MistyWay login details.
Account & privacy
Will my progress transfer to another phone?
Link or sign in to your account before changing phones. A guest profile can be lost after sign-out or reinstall. Use the same linked account on the new phone to restore available account progress; health data availability can differ between platforms.
Does MistyWay track my location or sell my data?
MistyWay does not use GPS route tracking. It may use timezone information for day-based features. We do not sell personal data. Service providers process account, usage, and purchase data as described in the Privacy Policy; step and health metrics are not sent to advertising or analytics providers.
How do I delete my account?
Use Settings → Delete Account in the app, visit the Delete Account page, or contact support. Deleting a MistyWay account does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription; cancel that separately through the store.
How do I contact support?
Use Contact Support in the app or email support@mistyway.app. Include the affected date, device, OS, app version, and relevant screenshots, but never send passwords, verification codes, or full card details.
