Pedometer α - Step Counter
doubtful ratingA 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.

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.
