Reviews for Pacer Pedometer & Step Counter

Updated August 2021. Just using the app on my phone. Works well, and the ads are not obtrusive. Installed 2 years ago and I love it. Recently using the GPS to track daily walks. I’m getting notices of a new version but I’m afraid to update it, for fear that it will require registration, logging […]

It’s good if u want an ideal of how many steps u take per day but just as another review stated, when moving around the house, when ur constantly stopping and starting walking, it doesn’t pick up on ur steps right away. At first it was just a few steps it didn’t count from time […]

I have loved the GPS tracking for when I walk but since the last update, it doesn’t seem to be functioning correctly. It will track mileage up to 0.3 or so and then stay at that mileage. It is still counting the correct number of steps so I think there is a bug in that […]

This app would be perfect if it had a one time purchase option. Even if it was a little higher than your average app. I hate having to keep paying on something year after year that doesn’t get much different over time. That is called gouging. And the yearly price is outrageous just for one […]

Edit: Took off a star because I can’t figure out how to stop getting charged for the ad-free version. There was no way to cancel in the app, and under “Manage Subscriptions” all it says is that my free trial is over and how much I’ll be charged each month, no “Cancel” option. I’m going […]

I use it to track how far I walk the dog each day, it does track all the other stats that are interesting. May I make a suggestion? It would be nice if it showed a stat on your avg walking speed per mile. Sometimes, usually rarely, it stops counting my steps and I don’t […]

really liked this app at first. i have the premium version but i just cancelled it after about 3 months. i was disappointed with the “Coach” that is available with eating tips etc. i got daily tips for about a week and nothing since. Also disappointed that you can’t see the total step count during […]

I don’t know what happened, I have used this app for well over a year and it worked fine. But the last few weeks it’s been severely over counting steps, like just tonight I went from 16k to 33k in an hour. That is a bug, I was walking, not running, there is no way […]

Pretty cool app.👍🏾 I especially like how it communicates with the nutrition app, My Fitness Pal. It sends your “calories burned” info to the nutrition app. They then work together to provide you info of how many more or how many less calories you need to consume in order to meet your weight goals. Only […]

App has been great. It gives me options to keep track of my steps, my weight, it estimates my burned calories and it syncs up to MyFitnessPal so the info is transferred automatically. This app allows me to enter different challenges, based on the number of steps, on the diatance ive travelled, and i can […]

This app could be better. I wish that it could connect with fitbit without having to pay. The google fit doesn’t properly keep track of the steps or samsung health. Other than that, the app is great. I set up a walk challenge, which is going wonderful. But… I wish those who were in the […]

Up until recently this app was so dependable, it counted every step I took. I may not have opened it every day, but when I would open it to update my mules for a distance challenge I’m doing, everything was there. Recently, I opened Pacer, and to my shock, weeks of data were missing. I […]

Update.. 2023. Same issue. Has not been resolved! This app is a waste of time if you travel between time zones. The steps change each time you travel because it doesn’t know what to adjust between gain or lost hours when flying. I reported this for over a years and all I get is “this […]

It’s okay, not great, and I wouldn’t suggest it if it didn’t have really cool challenges. Things are in odd places. For example, log activity should be one of the first things you see. But you have to scrolls for it, making it easy to miss. This then makes the calorie counter is drastically off […]

I’ve tried about 9 of these pedometer apps, and so far this is the best. The two biggest problems with most of them are constant (and un-closable) ads. Pacer has very few of these. The other problem is that most of these apps award me far more steps than I’ve actually taken (yes, I counted […]

The app serves the purpose I originally needed, but since you can’t change your step goal without going premium, I can’t put it above two stars anymore. Mine is stuck at 6,000 and due to multiple foot surgeries, I’m no longer capable of that, but I can’t change it without going premium. Otherwise, the app […]

Please fix your app! I’d like to do some of your challenges, but there’s no way to do it if it’s going to randomly pull 4 times the number of actual steps with no way to correct it. I’ve tried everything, including uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling. Changing the data source and resynching the data (it […]

Enjoyed using this app back in 2022 to track my daily fitness activities and connect with friends. Keeping each other motivated to complete fitness goals. Oct 4, 2025 – The app is not tracking steps correctly! This is not the 1st time…I guessit has been for about a year now! Out of frustration today I […]

unreliable and hazardous to mental health because no matter what you do it isn’t accurate. Did a test day and because I don’t have an expensive smart watch Pacer “relied” on my phone in my pocket. even with GPS tracking a 2 mile route didn’t register a half mile. Spent hours trying to figure out […]

used to really like this app, but the notifications increased as of late and their “encouraging” notifications to get you to reach your goal can be quite snarky and sarcastic – not exactly motivating to me – incredibly annoying and obnoxious!! I went into settings to try to eliminate them, but nothing seems to be […]
