Pedometer α - Step Counter
some mismatch with reviewsA free pedometer with calories and distance that people like for its simplicity but which is spoiled by aggressive ads, including complaints about inappropriate and auto-sound banners. Accuracy wanders: sometimes it misses steps, sometimes it shows days before install, and people call the calorie count meaningless. It does offer stride-length tuning, which is praised.

About the rating
Several five-stars clearly don't match their text (gushing sits next to a 1-2 rating), and the rating-content mismatch hints at tampering. Still, the serious complaints about inappropriate ads and missed steps look real.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
