Pedometer App Reviews

The app works unexpectedly accurate. I strapped my iPhone to my arm and went jogging. It seemed to be within an accuracy of at least >95% without any calibration/special settings. I dont know how useful/exact the calories counter is, but I wouldnt trust on it :) Here are some more pictures: http://www.marc-seeger.de/2008/08/10/pedometer-step-counting-for-the-iphone/

A handy app for counting steps - calorie count seems a bit high, but I may just need to fine tune the settings. I was skeptical about how well it would track actual steps, but with a bit of tweaking to the sensitivity setting it worked very well. I like the diary for tracking results. Im not sure how useful it would be if you want to track your total steps in a day as it needs to stay open and on, but for specific walking sessions its great.

This app works perfectly and Im happy I bought it!

Cant turn on then throw in your pocket for the day without your batt totaly running out. When the app is open it will only count when its dispalayed on the screen you cant have it counting with the screen off total disappontment here.

The problem I had with this app was in the "diary", the saved info would blur when I scrolled through the list that was more than one screens worth full. Now that I tried to reinstall it I am getting a message "this application is no longer available" yet here it is listed in the iTMS and I dont sync my iPod touch since I save ALL my apps on my computer. Would be nice to know whats going on or get a refund for something I can no longer use.

Includes essential features, but retains simplicity. I have only checked out the "Walking" mode. My next " step" is to delete a less satisfactory APP that I purchased for the same price last week. Now I have one less device ( pedometer ) to keep track of. Go iPhone!

I havent done anything but walk with this app yet, but so far I like it for 1) its simplicity and 2) it does what it says.

Ok for tracking steps. But it needs to track distance

Well, here goes my first review. I read about the other pedometers, and this one showed more promise. Luckily I was right. Ive only used walk but it is both accurate and fun. Great at a glance visuals as advertised. Best of its kind.

Doesnt tell you how far youve gone, only how many steps youve taken and how many calories youve burned. So far Im not convinced it does that very well. This morning I went for a 2.5 mile walk and it said Id taken 83 steps and burned 3.5 calories. Somethings not right. Perhaps I can fix this with the sensitivity setting?

this app, while visualky impressive and neat, has the same issue Im seeing in other pedometer apps, namely the program cant run in the background. Thats a significant issue for folks like me who are concerned about draining their battery while running one program.

As previous reviewers have noted, one can turn on the app and walk, but it stops running if the phone is put to sleep or if any other function of the phone is used. So one can turn it on, go for a walk, and count the steps. But one cannot leave it running in the background and check at the end of the day to see if a target count like 10,000 steps was reached, which was my hope, and which is the way a good $10 pedometer functions.

This app is great if you never take more than 133 steps. So far that is the maximum count it has given me. Wasted over an hour calibrating it to 102 steps in 100 actual steps; the slider used for calibration is terrible should have a better control for this feature. Each attempt at using after calibration has resulted in exactly 133 steps. No help whatsoever on the website.

Needs update to allow app to run in background and to add total distance covered. If I put sensitivity at the highest level, app was pretty accurate. Would highly recommend with the few additions on an update,

It kills me that this currently decent app doesnt continue to count when the iphone is locked. Needs a major update in that regard. Otherwise lots of potential.

This app is great! Takes a while to adjust the sensitivity to the right setting basednon how you walk/jog/run. I contact their support on adding thing and their reply was that they have submitted to apple to review. They fixed their app to continue to run while you phone is on lock mode. Sorry cant run in background while using other apps. Also they are adding how much distance you have traveled. I look forward to the improvements!

but kinda buggy. Seems to stop recording randomly. Ive only had it work successfully once. If they can get this worked out will be a great applications.

This is a great program! I purchased the other pedometer first...and had very little success. This one allows you to adjust sensitivity which is great. When Im at work I put this thing to work to track my calories I burn each day. Oh! thats another thing I like you can set a goal for how many calories you want to burn and you can watch yourself inch toward the goal through out the day. I set a goal of 100 calories and go about half way there. I think youll like it!

The program is great, but lousy for a working environment where you walk around a lot. I havent figured a way to make the program collect steps unless its on the screen. Definitely a deal breaker for me.

Lots of potential. Definately needs to work while in sleep mode, but having it on while I run is okay for now. Id like to see the ability to have individual sensitivity settings for walk, jog, and run.
