I just deleted this app after using it for a couple years. The ads were annoying, but tolerable until today. I got an ad that played music and when I dismissed the ad the music kept playing over and over. The only way to stop it was to force stop the app. Then when I tried to start it again the music came back. So deleted with extreme prejudice.

I tried another app before this one. I was really intent on recording my steps. I would walk about 5 miles, it would give me credit for 1. It seemed like it would stop tracking whenever my screen went off...THIS one is giving me everything I want, 100 percent. Bug difference. All I wanted was a record of miles, steps and time . Perfect. Very accurate. So happy with this!!

Simplest to use of all, and coincidentally, it has the best combo of features, all in the simplest to use interface to use compared to other competitors that I've tested... Unfortunately, the competition has noticed, as I watch in real-time as both the similar existing apps seemingly become more like Step Tracker by copying every aspect of this app with every revision, masquerading these changes as merely "updates" -- while new apps just shamelessly copy, thankfully failing at every step...!!!!

It has some neat features. It would be ok for use in an area you're not familiar with I guess. The mileage isn't very accurate. I walk the same route everyday and the mileage changes anywhere from .6 to .16 miles. According to my car's odometer, it's anywhere from .2 to .36 miles off. According to Google maps, my odometer is accurate. The daily history completely forgot about my walk one day. The app needs a little work, but I guess it could be useful in some way to someone. Not many ads though.

This app used to be amazing, but the intrusive ads seem to actually be breaking the core functionality now. I've had several instances of the app simply not recording steps, because the ads had to load in. I'm a developer for a living, and my only educated guess would be that your ad module was trying to pull in data from your ad vendor, but since I was roaming or traveling, it couldn't pull the ads, and thus the step tracking functionality failed. Edit: Fixed my horrendous spelling.

I like the app. It's free, there are barely any ads, and the main functions - counting steps, time, keeping track over months, etc. - work well. But, and I know I'm being picky, their "London to Paris" badge distance (and a few others) isn't accurate. They have it set as "135 miles," but 'as the crow flies' it's 214 miles. Aside from that, I like it. Edit: Thanks for your response!!

I've downloaded this app several times on four different phones and two different carriers. The first time, it worked great, and I was very happy with how it worked. The second time, my history didn't transfer, so I just started from zero again. Later, the app started acting weird and gave me a lot of advertising in Russian. Since I changed carrier it hasn't worked at all. It only records a few points along a 4 mile hike, or says I walk 5 miles in 17 seconds. I'm looking for a new app.

Got app in 2020. After receiving a fitness watch for Christmas, I've noticed a huge discrepancy between the pedometer on the watch and this app by almost twice the steps counted with the watch. Have tried editing on the app, but then it records both totals instead of the new total. Considering removing the app because this is a problem. I do not always have access to my phone, whereas I always wear watch. It would be nice to be able to edit per day, for a total of steps, kcals, etc.

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 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 adore this app, it is easy to use, easy to understand. I keep coming back even after a few years because of how easy it is and how reliable it has become. The sensors aren't really easy to shake with your hand and actually change per step. Sometimes it needs a minute to load and that's okay. I really enjoy the training section. It let's me have a more active role in my workouts and keeps nice goals. Haven't spotted any disruptive ads yet.

Once again, this app has failed. Most recently, it showed no movement from my starting point, and yet the final report showed that I'd moved over one mile. In reality, the route was actually less than half of that. I've had other frustrating experiences, but they're all basically the same. It doesn't always track my movement (GPS feature). It either over-counts my movement or under-counts it. When it does that it is wildly inaccurate. By comparison Google Maps accurately maps my walking route.

There's two issues I can't get past: 1) The app gives audio feedback. I have turned that off, yet I still get an audible countdown when the app begins, when I'm halfway to my step goal and when I reach the goal. I listen to podcasts while I walk. The audio plays over which causes me to have to rewind. 2) I often forget to end my tracking once I come back home which means the timer continues to run. You can override the number of steps, but not the time. I did pay for the full version.

App is PERFECT! I don't know if it can tell the difference between running and walking as I'm sure running would burn more calories per step but it's a great app, unless......unless you get a new phone. I had so many achievements and when I got a new phone NONE of the info transferred over. Most of the achievements I had the highest possible one done. It said I walked more than 99.9% of all users and I had to lose it all. That's why I only gave 3 stars. Otherwise it would be 5 stars easy!

Yes it has ads, but I don't find them overly invasive. It does what it's supposed to do. It acts as a passive step counter, & has a training mode where you can log your jaunts. The accuracy of the miles per minute seems to improve as you go along. Also, this app does tell you it's overall accuracy depends on phone hardware. And don't run the app and battery saver at the same time. It really goes screwy.

Very good for tracking miles walked. I use it at work and play...it's easy to use and not a bother. It let's me know when I have reached a goal walking and sets new goals , for me great app............ the review is kinda long wanting 500 words to explain how good it is they need to cut it back like 200 words. Or they can just let you put words in to get past this and go on to ratings and back to your phone. I hope they correct it and make it simpler for us. I tried to think of everything bye

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 like the app, I can deal with adds, but for some reason I get double results for each of my walks. For example it shows 2.57 miles twice under the same date. one has a map of the route, one does not. The total at the top includes both results giving false information. when I delete the one without the map, the map of the other disappears. Other than that, good App.

I've been using this app for abt 6 months now and at first it was great to track my steps and Level Up. But once I got past Level 10 it started to get wonky. I'm at Level 12 now and it def isn't keeping an accurate account. Many times I walk the same route and it's not giving me the same count as when I was at lower Levels. I just took an awful long walk and I didn't even get to 6K. I may leave it on my phone, but I think I might look at other apps. This was my first fitness app.

I have tried and used several Step Tracker / Recorders and there is NO DOUBT that this one is the absolute best!! Easily 5 Stars! Greatly detailed maps, perfect accuracy, choice of recording with battery-saving Internal body movements OR your phone GPS, your choice any and every time you walk, run, bike or whatever it is you want to do! So much more available all at such a low price... just a few bucks for the purchased version!! Big Thank You to the Developers. MUCH appreciated! 👍👍👍👍👍
