  It’s kinda supported - if you have your phone in your pocket you do get some steps, but it’s not as efficient as walking.

  I’m Finnish myself and my German skills aren’t that great :D The translations for the game are made by the community, you can help correcting errors at localize.walkscape.app (the tool is currently hosted on a very underspecced server so it’s laggy, we’ll be moving it to a beefier one soon)

  +1 for biking. I track my bike rides with Apple Health and it’s pretty solid, I don’t know if it would be hard to make those importable to the game.

    When it comes to tracking, smart watch support is the most frequently asked addition and biking is the second. We will definitely add biking after smart watch support, as long as we find a viable way to do that. Biking relies quite heavily on GPS data which we don’t want to deal with, so we would likely be using Apple Health and on Android some specific apps to pull that data from.
