Great App when first installed. Now, it's cluttered with all kinds of ads. Step counter used to offer easy Xs (exits) and other ways to close. These ways are no longer there. It's like we've got you locked in with no easy exits. It used to be such nice App to use. It would be nice to see the App take few steps back to normal and it's primary purpose.
This pedometer works better than most. Unlike other apps, Step Counter stays running (even with low RAM) and I don't have to open the app every time I walk to get it to function. Also, Step Counter shows calories burned based on my height and weight and contains features like video workouts for free. This app does contain an occasional ad, but doesn't go overboard.
Inaccurate I walked 300 steps while counting as I went. I ran this app at the same time as another. That app had a 4% deviation (287/300) and this had a 20% deviation (241/300). Both are off, but this is substantially low. Same phone, same sensor, same conditions, same time... they should produce similar results. Several hours later, the results varied significantly... First app 5867, this app 5372. I only counted 300 of these steps, but you can see how the deviations compound over a distance.
This pedometer works really well for me. It seems to be quite accurate and not only tracks your steps for the day but the total steps for the week in addition to tracking calories burned, distance walked and time it took. It's a great little device. One really great feature is the developers respect your privacy and will not go into your files!!! As advertised it doesn't use much power. I strongly recommend it to anyone who simply wants to know the aforementioned items it tracks.
I wanted an alternative to my fitness watch because I only care about the number of steps I walk daily, not workout routines or sleep trackers and whatever else they add to them these days. This app is awesome, and I like that it's straight forward and that I don't have to keep it updated with a separate phone app or sync it with my phone. It doesn't take up much memory, either.
Love this app! It's accessible enough to be there when you need it, but neither annoying or in the way. I like the comprehensive breakdown of personal preferences (gender, height, weight, etc) that allows the app to give feedback about stride length, distance covered, etc. You can also set daily goals for steps and water consumption, but it's customizable enough that you can turn off alerts if it doesnt suit you. Highly recommended!
Works like a charm, very customizable with the ability to set your stride and instantly see the effect on the distance already recorded. Comparing it to, for example, the distance recorded by the treadmill it is very accurate. The only negative I have found so far is that, when it is connected to Google Fit, it reports a ridiculous number of small walks about the house. Very easy to turn off that reporting though. Overall an excellent app
Lovely and accurate. I work in a warehouse and it's great to see how much I'll walk in the busier season. The accuracy is insane as well. I've checked it before and after my commute, using the forklift for some time, etc. and it's only incorrectly increased by a single digit number every time, even when the time period was close to 45-50 minutes before I could look at it again. Inaccuracy lower than 0.1% is incredible to get from this. Better than other paid apps imo
Was initially impressed with the accuracy. After 3 days of walking the same route, the numbers were of course different but, within reason. Now they are inexplicably all over the place. The very same route is calculated with as much as 1800 steps, 8 tenths of a mile in distance, and 20 minutes in time difference. I'm going looking for another app. This one is not accurate or reliable enough even if it is free.
11/22 This app is amazing. It helps me keep track of distance walked as expected but the other features is why I'm giving it a 5 star. The app also offers workouts for just about anyone. And even keeps track of calories burned, water intake, goals, and you can even set your own schedule in the app. Ads are present but at least they're not popping up constantly. Update: It's now 1/25/24 and I still love this app. I've lost 165lbs, gained muscle mass, and now I'm very fit and active. Great app!
