An editorial reading of the saved reviews
A social pedometer with groups and bots for competitions that motivates walking but syncs poorly with Apple Watch and Garmin, losing thousands of steps. The count runs only through Apple Health rather than straight from the watch, hence the discrepancies. Separately troubling are suspicious pop-up ads like a fake virus warning and the fact that shaking the phone adds steps.
What people use it for
People motivated by competitions with friends and groups rather than absolute counting accuracy
What reviews praise
Motivation through groups and bots, competitions with friends, the habit of carrying the phone, fun to track progress
What reviews complain about
Poor sync with Apple Watch and Garmin via Health, loses thousands of steps, suspicious virus-scare ads, shaking the phone inflates steps, shifting bot algorithm
What users experience
3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
I keep walking and my steps don’t update. It seems like the app gets stuck and doesn’t show all my actual steps
My watch says 1 step # & my phone app says a different #
I find this app does not sync directly to my Garmin Viviosmart 5, it syncs directly through Apple Health. I had missing steps up to 5K or more.
