Footsteps Pedometer Lite
authentic ratingA pedometer with a hard paywall: the free version stops counting at 3000 steps and pushes an upsell, even though the target is 10000. It only counts with the screen open, otherwise zero, and loses everything when the screen is off. Accuracy is middling and it badly undercounts distance on a bike.

About the rating
The reviews are real and share one refrain for many: the free version caps the count at 3000 steps and demands money. The complaints are specific and varied, with no manipulation.
Strengths
What users love
- Simple to set up and start
- And it motivates some people to take more steps even at home. For a short walk within the limit it works fine.
Weak spots
What users hate
- The 3000-step cap on the free version makes it useless for a full day
- And buying the full version does not lift the cap or carry over data for some users. It only counts with the screen open and forgets settings after shutdown.
Who it is for
People willing to buy the full version up front and to live with keeping the screen on.
