Steps - Simple Pedometer
rating aligns with reviewsA simple clean pedometer with no ads, no signup and no clutter, with a widget that Apple Fitness lacks. The main complaint is accuracy: for some users the count differs from Health and Apple Watch by 500-2000 steps, and updates sometimes lag. But for many the numbers match, and it runs without draining the battery.
The most honest profile in the batch: a text score of 4.1 close to the store's 4.73, 64 percent five-stars. Reviews are specific, praising simplicity and the lack of ads, and criticizing accuracy on the merits. No signs of manipulation.
A mismatch is an analytical signal, not proof that the rating was manipulated.
