No tag nearby? Walk it off
Walk it off is Scamper's fallback when you can't scan your tag. Hold No tag? on the ringing screen, then walk 50 steps within 5 minutes (the default). Your iPhone counts the steps, the alarm keeps ringing until you finish, and then it stops.

Tell me when it launchesHow it works
- Hold No tag? for a few seconds on the ringing screen.
- Walk the steps before the timer runs out.
- If time runs out, hold again to retry.
When to use it
Hotel rooms, a friend's sofa, a lost tag, or before you've paired one. If you haven't paired a tag yet, Scamper asks you to walk instead.
Steps stay on your iPhone
Steps come from your iPhone's motion sensor with Motion & Fitness permission. They're read on the device and never sent anywhere.
Questions
What if my iPhone can't count steps?
Scamper tells you on the ringing screen, and you can use the emergency unlock instead.
Does the alarm stop ringing while I walk?
No. It keeps ringing until you've walked the steps, then it stops.
