Description by The Gnomestead Collective(from Google Play)
Join the Critter Collectors, the world's foremost researchers of the little creatures.
Walk. Collect. Learn.
Little Wings is a cozy step counter and pedometer wrapped in a walking game. Every step you take in the real world stirs something from the undergrowth. Lace up, head out, and let your walk do the finding. Open Little Wings at the end of your walk to see every critter you crossed paths with. The more you walk, the closer you step toward eternal glory in the annals of zoology.
A pedometer you'll actually want to open Most step trackers just show you a number. Little Wings turns your daily steps into discoveries. It's a step counter, an activity tracker and a bug collecting game all at once.
Every step counts, wherever you walk Outdoors, indoors, on a treadmill, around the block or deep on a forest trail. Little Wings works as a walking tracker anywhere you take a step. No GPS hunting, no check-ins, no tapping.
Steps become critters Your real walking is the whole game. No busywork. Just walking and finding critters!
Set the lure Tune your daily step goal from a gentle 2,000 to an ambitious 20,000. Whether you're chasing 10,000 steps or just getting off the couch, the lure helps everyone catch rarer critters.
Fill your Field Notes An illustrated field guide and nature journal that fills in species by species. Encounter each critter more to uncover real facts about them!
Wander into new territory Four biomes, each with their own cast of critters waiting to be found. Part fitness RPG, part bug game, part quiet walk in the woods.
Common to legendary Build your research, keep your streak and track down the rarest critters out there. A collecting game where the grind is fresh air.
No pressure, just walking No timers, no guilt, no leaderboards breathing down your neck. A cozy game and a gentle reason to take a few more steps today. Streaks reset every 4 days (with a small boost for continuing your streak).
A step counter that's actually a joy Little Wings turns "I should really get my steps in" into something worth looking forward to. If you've been hunting for walking games, a bug collecting game, a relaxing nature game, or simply a pedometer you don't dread opening.
Permissions Little Wings reads your device's physical activity data to count your steps. Step data stays on your device and is used only to find critters and track your goal.
Little Wings is free to play. An optional Patron membership adds a few extra perks for the dedicated wanderer.
AI with lots of human oversight was used to create some Little Wings art. Little Wings proceeds go towards paying artists to replace the AI art! Presented by The Gnomestead Collective.

Comments on Little Wings: Bug Walking Game for Android
★★★★★Stefanie Pereira· Sep 13, 2026
I saw an ad for Little Wings on Reddit and was quickly intrigued by the art and the idea of collecting real critters while walking. I use other apps to gamify my steps, but I really love the educational aspect of Little Wings. Nature is pretty amazing, and I love being able to get these little tidbits of info about nature while quite literally walking through nature itself. The developer was also very quick to resolve a bug, too (the "tech" kind, haha!) 5/5 stars, definitely give it a try!

This is such a lovely app! I used to have an LOTR themed pedometer when I had an apple phone, and is sadly not available on Samsung. I walk a lot at work and have been looking for a nice pedometer app since, and this one is great! I hope to see more bugs and features as the game continues to develop, and while I was thrown off a bit by the AI art like others I appreciate the commitment to making this ad free to use and free of ads, as well as working with artists now at this point in time!

Ew ew ew. I was so excited about this game when I came across an advertisement, apparently so excited that I skimmed the details in the app store. The second I saw AI generated pictures (yes, it is that obvious) I left. Using AI for an app that (supposedly) supports healthier lifestyles and an appreciation for real bugs is abhorrent and counterproductive. Data centers are actively harming the environment. Shame on you.

It's cute. The person complaining about the AI gnome obviously hasn't played RPG games from the 2000s. It was an art style. It's not that bad. My biggest complaint is it's not reading my steps accurately. It's saying I only have 132 steps so far today. I have almost 700. Considering I'm disabled and walking is extremely difficult for me, this is a major issue. Didn't give accurate steps for the days since I started playing, either. Please fix. Will change stars after it's fixed.
I don't know it sounded fun but your AI Gnome guy threw me off hard... sorry. But also not that sorry 🤷🏻♂️
