I have an office job so I’m sitting at a desk all day. After the new year I really wanted a change and began to do daily steps where I would walk in place at my desk for an hour and 40 minutes. I eventually looked in the App Store for a step counter and this was the first one that popped up for me with the highest rated reviews. I absolutely love it and ended up purchasing it for the entire year once my free week trial was over. It helps keep me organized and counts my steps pretty accurately. It’s begun to give me little notifications of “almost reached half your goal!” “Almost there!” “So close to reaching your daily goal!” And they actually make me happy to see those simple little notifications because it means I’m making a change in my daily health. I have it set for 10,000 steps a day and it’s so easy to change your daily goal and even has a cute blue circle that moves as you walk. Once it’s full and you reach your goal it has a nice “sparkly” look to it for a moment and you feel good about reaching your goal. It’s very organized and easy to read and has a charts graph for every day so you can see how well you did each day for the week. I’m someone who doesn’t have an Apple Watch so this app is really great to have on my phone. I highly recommend it to anyone else who is wanting something organized to keep track of your daily movement

I like this app, but it’s not accurate for flights of stairs. I live on the third floor of an old building with high ceilings. That’s 21 steps up, walk 15 steps down the hall to the next flight, and then another 18 steps up. This app calls that 1 flight of stairs. I did laundry an went up those stairs 6 times, that’s 12 flights. This app counted it as 5. Also, what if I leave my phone behind as I walk down and in back to take out the trash? I know that’s at least 200 steps going down, out back and coming back up. But there’s no way to add those steps manually. Also, the app doesn’t let you decrease your goals always. I could with the steps, but not with the stairs. Other than all that, I like using this app. It makes counting my steps fun. **** Reply to developer who attempted to “help.” READ MY REVIEW: I said how long/ tall the flights are here. This is an old bldg. with 10/12 ft. ceilings. And I ALREADY sync with my Apple Health app. And the rest of that crap about turn on or turn of the sensor? It’s gobbledegook. I want an easy app to count my steps. And I want to be able to manually correct it or add flights or steps that got missed. I do not want to program that myself and I shouldn’t have to. You are the app developer. This is your app. Your job is to do the programming. So. Do. It.

For me, the StepsApp is a motivator. It keeps track of stuff that’s important to me. Mainly, how many steps I walked, how long it took me and how many miles I walked at the end of the week and month. I don’t overdo it, my goal is only 6,000 steps (I’m 76), but if I’m close to my goal in the evening, I just might walk a few more steps to reach that magic number. I thought about getting a Fitbit or an Apple Watch, but StepsApp fits the bill for me just fine. Added three years later: I’m still pleased with my StepsApp. I’m almost 80 now, and I’m continuing the walks almost every day. Reached my goal of 6,000 steps four times this week. It takes me a little longer these days and StepsApp keeps me apprised of how many hours a week I walk, how many steps, how many calories burned and so on. Still consider a Fitbit every so often, but I’m totally satisfied with this app. Update I turned 80 this year and I’m still happy with my StepsApp. I started this app in 2015 and to this day I’ve reached my goal over 500 times. Granted, 6K is not much for a young person, but for me it’s a reasonable goal. I hope I get to use this app for a few more years.
