Email info@yhdessapeli.fi. Include your iPhone model, iOS version, app version and what you were doing when the problem occurred. Do not include health information or a full diary export.
No account is needed. Food tracking, weight entries, recipes and manual workout entries work locally. Online food search needs an internet connection. The app is available in Finnish and English and intended for adults.
The diary, food search, barcodes, manual food entry, calories, macros, full food diary history and weight entries are free. Next Step Plus includes favourites, your reusable food library, recipes, saved meals and meal copying, the workout diary and optional workout energy adjustment, weight charts, weekly and monthly summaries, and Apple Watch support.
Plus costs €9.90 per year in the Finnish App Store. The full annual fee is charged to your Apple Account and renews automatically until cancelled. The price and terms are shown before confirmation. Open Settings → Next Step Plus: Restore purchases checks for an active subscription on the same Apple Account without charging again; Manage subscription opens Apple’s subscription settings. Cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends. Deleting the app or diary data does not cancel the subscription.
The free diary and weight entries remain available. Earlier recipes, saved meals and workouts remain readable and exportable, and you can delete your own data. Creating and reusing Plus content, Plus summaries and Apple Watch require an active subscription. Workout energy is not added to the daily calorie target without Plus.
Apple Watch is part of Next Step Plus. First check Settings → Next Step Plus. You need a paired iPhone and an Apple Watch running watchOS 10 or later. Install Next Step on iPhone and complete the introduction. If the watch app does not install automatically, install Next Step through the Watch app on iPhone. Open Next Step on both devices. The watch app follows the Finnish or English language selected in Next Step on iPhone.
Your watch shows the latest daily summary received from iPhone, with its update time below the totals. Log food and adjust goals on iPhone. If the summary does not update, open Next Step on both devices and check their connection. The watch refresh button requests the phone’s last saved summary; background updates may not arrive immediately. Yesterday’s numbers are hidden after midnight until the phone sends a summary for the new day.
Edit your watch face and choose Next Step for a supported complication slot. Available slots depend on the face. You can also add the Next Step widget to the Smart Stack. Complications use the same latest received summary as the watch app. The first watch version does not log food or record workouts.
Choose Add food → Add food manually and enter the package values. Check whether they refer to 100 grams or 100 millilitres. A missing value is not zero. Online search uses community-maintained Open Food Facts, so verify product data against the package.
Add recipe ingredients and their amounts, then weigh the finished dish. Log the portion you eat in grams. Favourites and recent foods are below food search, and a meal can be copied from another day.
Open Settings → Adjust goals to change your weight goal or calories and macros. The energy in macro goals should match your calorie goal; the allocation button helps with this. The app’s energy target is an estimate.
Workout import is started in the workout view. Review or revoke permissions in Apple Health on your iPhone. Remove imported copies in Settings → Other settings → My data. Original Health records remain.
Open Settings → Other settings → My data. Export creates a JSON file for a destination you choose. Delete all my data resets the app and cannot be undone. This version does not support importing exports or automatic recovery when changing phones.
