1. 5/5Never has let me down!

   I don’t often write reviews but I feel the need to for this app. I’ve been using this app for at least a few years now. It has never let me down. Not only is it easy to use, it’s reliable, it’s accurate, and it also works on my Apple Watch… but the fact that the developers haven’t gone money hungry and are very receptive make it a thousand times better. A few years ago, I had a problem with the steps not refreshing to show up on my Apple Watch in real time. It was fixed almost immediately and I’ve never had a problem since. Probably one of the most used apps on my watch and is always on the face of it! Always perfectly syncs to iPhone. Probably one of the few apps that I’ve NEVER had a problem with. Good job Devs!

2. 2/5Nice UI but Incomplete

   This app survived 1 workout because the UI is as advertised - attractive, clean, easy to see and understand. HOWEVER, it’s missing so so much. I use Apple Watch. During workout, there’s no 3rd page to control music - not even AppleMusic. I could launch music separately but had to fumble between apps during my workout. Very distracting. Therefore, I also can’t set a playlist to start with a workout. Can’t select to hide the map. No announcements for intervals. No audible reminder to turn the workout off. No auto-pause. Best I could figure, settings is virtually non existent because there really aren’t any of the expected workout control settings. Nope, no stat preference selection or customizations I could find. I wanted simplicity, which this certainly delivers and is beautiful to look at but it’s so simple that it’s missing vital features - at least for my use case. I really wanted something akin to Apple ‘s native activity tracker but with step counts. This would be my goto if I could control music and hide maps and/or any metrics I’m not interested in. Love the app. It’s just a wee lite to use the way I want.

3. 5/5Good, practical.

   Good app, surprisingly accurate with beauty in simplicity that does not sap battery power like similar GPS based apps. In its simplicity it does not have the "neat" mapping and graphs capability but in practice, having no Start/End button makes this practical. Apps that utilize the GPS will always have start/stop button to where you will eventually forget to start for no credit, or worst, forget to stop it to sap up your battery reserves. Honestly, walking is an anytime, anywhere activity, it should be recorded all day and why map it? This app simply capitalizes on the built-in iPhone accelerometer and the health app included in the IOS. It simply counts motions that mimics a step. At midnight it stores your days result then restarts at zero for the next day. If it's worth supporting the developer and getting calories then $1.99 seems worth it. It might count a non-step if your carrying the phone in your hand and perhaps by "flicking your hair" as others have commented. For best results keep the phone in your pocket as much as practically possible. This may not work so well if you keep your iPhone in a purse, just as the Fitbit was designed to be on your wrist. I find it plenty accurate. A GPS based app will likely give you more erroneous results. Turn on your favorite mapping app (or GPS based walk app) and lay it on your desk for a few hours. Through atmospheric conditions your phone will wander around a radius giving credit for walking just laying there.

4. 5/5Obsessed

   Obsessed with this app. It seems so simple but it’s so good. I’ve been using it for a few years now to keep tabs on my daily steps and to track my running workouts. Paying $5 or so for the upgraded version was the best decision I ever made. Absolutely love the workout feature- I get my pace, distance, number of steps, and a nice little map of my route. And I can see all my past workouts. Exactly what I need and nothing less. One feature request: I like that I can track different types of workouts (walking, stairs, and elliptical in addition to running)…. but can a bike ride option be added? I know it’s not quite within the theme of “steps,” but I’d love to have that as a proper option so I don’t get wacky metrics for my 20+ mile “outdoor run.”

5. 1/5False information

   I’ve been using this app for many years, but really started paying attention to it in the last 2+ years. I have my daily step goal set at 8k per day. I usually reach that on a daily basis, often go over. Recently, during a conversation, a few people and I started talking about the amount of walking we do daily and when I mentioned my step goal was 8k, I was told that they walk closer to 14k-15k per day, in the same facility, same kind of role, except they report to me. The red flag is, I know I walk a lot more, move a lot more and do a lot more than the people under me, I am their “boss” and I set an example. So I purchased a belt clip step counter, and also purchased a wrist strap health tracker ( I won’t mention the name, I’m not a paid advertiser) and the iPhone steps app was insanely low. The belt clip steps app was way over double what the app counted and the wrist strap health tracker was around, or a little under half of what the app said. This can’t be a coincidence. I started to make sure I had my phone in my pocket for the last month to make sure it was “counting” my steps. Still way low compared to the other counters and the other people who had different apps. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong, or something that should be calibrated?
