This app has been great for keeping track of progress, it is encouraging with the badges, and the GPS is better than any other tracking app I've had, and I went through about six others. You also can plan for say a 1 mile walk, but at the end you still wanna keep going? It lets you know your time at 1 mile, but will keep tracking extra progress automatically. It helps to not have to start and stop constantly.

I used to love this app, but the ads have become very obtrusive the last few months, so I'll be switching to another pedometer app. It's a shame they had to ruin the experience I undestand the need for apps on a free app, however I don't understand the need to have ads explode over the app when you open or when you try to exit. A more subtle ad makes it a lot more likely for me, at least, to look at at an ad, versus now it gives me a negative view of the product

I really like the app. I like that it tells me my stats while walking. It's easy to use and I like the GPS portion. The only thing I'm finding is that I do full mile markers, so yesterday I did 3 at lunch then 6 after work for a total of 9 miles. Today when I looked at my total for yesterday it says 8.26. I don't get the discrepancy, which part is off? Is gps off or the record keeping? It bugs me not having an accurate log. But, other than that it's simple and at least keeps me motivated.

I love the app and have been using it for almost a year without a problem but had my phone stolen and reloaded the app. I can't get it to backup/restore my old info however. It goes kind of dim and does nothing else. I have to hit back and it goes back but I can't get it to restore my information... That's sucks. Update: nevermind. It just took a long time for Google to come up. Was able to get it restored. Gave it 5 stars.

Very easy to use. The GPS is very accurate. I've been using this app for about a year now and I love it. I have tried a couple of other free step tracking/pedometer apps and this one is the best IMO. It not only keeps count of steps but shows a map of the route taken, how many calories burned and tells you how many minutes per mile walked all on the same page. It has inspired me to increase my walks from .5 miles to 4 miles +. I am 66 years young and this has done wonders for my health.

There are too many ads. UPDATE FOR YOUR QUICK RESPONSE AND MAKING IT A 5 STAR. Thanks for the quuck response. Maybe move ads to another location on the screen like the top. At the bottom, the ads interfere with the Android controls on the bottom of the screen. Also, I did purchase the app, so hopefully, there are no more ads.

You know, this app is really good, but the ads at the end drive me nuts. I am considering removing the app due to this. I once saw an option to pay to have the ads removed but can't find it again. I simply didn't have my credit card handy at the time. Also, I do not need the 1/2 way announcement, it is annoying. Same for the end of target distance. Please, allow us to kill these. Other announcements are disabled. I was hoping to be able to pay for ad removal on this site.

This app works very well as a pedometer and it has a lot of nice features, so I chose to upgrade to the paid version. Every single time I use it, it reverts to the ad-supported version, and I have to delete and reinstall to remove the ads. The developers never respond to support requests. So, use the app, but do not bother to pay for it, unless you like seeing full screen ads that you can't skip, and you like reinstalling apps every day.

I've had this app for several years and been very satisfied until recently. I don't mind the pop up ads but in the last few months those have become longer ads that you can't dismiss for 30 seconds or longer. When I'm just opening the app to quickly check a stat, this is a huge turn off. If there's not an ad-free purchase option, I'll soon be looking for a different app. No complaints otherwise...it works really well.

This is a fairly okay app if you just want to get a general idea of how much activity you're getting on a daily basis and, seeing this is a free app, the price is right for that. If you're in need of something with a little more accuracy, however, I'd recommend looking for a device that's designed with this service in mind --- which, sadly, means spending money. You'll discover with Step Tracker that your walk calculations can be off anywhere from between 200 to 2000 steps on any given day.
