Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Walking Challenge is a campaign to promote walking and running as a mode of transport. During the whole period of the campaign, colleagues across the EU Institutions and EU schools will challenge each other for the highest number of steps and kilometers they can cover. Walking Challenge integrates with the Health app in order to access and display data collected by Apple Watch or other pedometer capable wearables. It requires read access to your step count.
