- ★★★★★step count is inaccurate or gets stuck
App did not work well on watch & I’m now billed monthly!!!. Can’t stop the monthly charge. I thought this was a one time fee for this app and I could not get the complication to work on my newer Apple Watch. Avoid this headache!!!!!!

Odd. Tracks arm movements too.

Can’t see steps from yesterday. I downloaded this app because it seemed simple to use, and collects no data. However, I was shocked to learn that you can only see the step count for the present day. I walked quite a bit yesterday, including late last night. However, that step count disappeared at midnight and was reset to zero for this morning. There does not appear to be a way of checking previous days! You can see a seven day average, but, this morning, I would have liked to know how many steps I walked yesterday, without having to remember to check it before midnight, like Cinderella. Seems a bit strange. Am I missing something?

It works ?. Bought it because it reminded me of my FitBit HR. Bought for my Apple Watch series 4. But it’s stuck at 343 steps on my iPhone 8 Plus and the widget. Not sure how to fix it.

Apple Watch. Not sure what happened but this app no longer syncs with my iPhone or Apple Watch. I have uninstalled it and then then reinstalled and still does appear in the complications on my watch. Worked great until the last update. That would be reason for 1 star.

Terrible Accuracy. This complication/app is terribly inaccurate. My activity tracker that came with my watch says I have done over 900 steps while this app says 200. Trying something else! Don't waste your time with this one.

Widget on phone and watch out of sync. It seems like the widget on the phone doesn’t account for all steps in apple health kit if you have an Apple Watch. On a daily basis my Apple Watch widget displays the total number of step while my iPhone widget shows less than half of the steps on apple health

Settings unavailable. Can’t get to settings with current iOS version but works ok otherwise for a free app

Overcounts steps. I REALLY want to love this app. In theory, it does exactly what I need: It provides a steps complication for my Apple Watch. But the counting is inaccurate. For example, I went out for lunch today, and when I got home, I'd logged about 1,000 steps. Based upon where I had parked and eaten, that seemed correct. Came home, did some laundry, and changed my bed linens and now it shows 3,360 steps!! There's NO WAY that's accurate!! Developer, if you can prove that this is the fault of the watch and NOT your app, I'll revise my review. I realize it's a free app and I'm grateful for that. But it needs to be accurate!! If accuracy costs money, I'll pay. But "free and inaccurate" isn't working for me.

Adjust minimum steps. I am disabled and track my steps. It’s discouraging to not be able to reduce the goal to meet what I can actually do.

Disappointing. I got this app thinking I could use it as a watch face, but it doesn’t work. Disappointed with this app cause it’s not like the pictures shown in App Store.

Needs help. Great idea but still doesn't update lube our match the default health steps count. Hopefully it can be updated. Waste of money in its current state.

Distance is Off. I am not sure if it accurately counts steps, but it does not calculate distance correctly. I just finished a walk, with correctly measured distances between waypoints. This app. calculated 4.3 miles traveled, wherein the actual distance walked is 5.4 miles, 5.4 miles is what an Apple Watch calculated.

Close. I’ve been using this app for a few days now and really like it running on my Series 9 watch. What I can’t figure out is how to sync my step count that I receive on the watch to my phone. As example, the watch shows 5250 steps, which is accurate, while the phone app only shows 3506 steps. Shouldn’t they be the same?

Pedometer +. I just deleted the app. It kept count of all my steps in conjunction with the Apple Watch series 8 then it stopped. It would only counts steps that I took with my phone. I was baffled to see only hundreds of steps after a 5 mile walk. I trouble shoot both items and still couldn’t get it to load the steps from my exercise. I gave it 3 stars because I know it hadn’t always been like this or I wouldn’t have kept it for as long as I had.

Seems effective. I’ve been using this app on my watch for around a week now, and it seems to be effective at tracking steps. However, I’ve noticed several times that the complication on my watch face just does not update at all unless I re-open the app, even though I have background refresh on. This is frustrating because it often looks like I’ve made no progress at all.

Need improvement. The app is not syncing with the Watch I have 2 different readings on both iPhone & Watch

Yay for complication, boo for being slightly useless. I got this because other better steps apps (like Pacer) do not have complications. However, this one has a different count on your phone app than on your watch. In addition, the complication is slightly useless. It doesn't auto refresh and show the right number unless you click on the complication to open the app. How silly is that?

Needs work. The app on my phone and the steps on my watch do not match. Looking forward to this working properly

Great, but one major drawback. Quite shocked the Apple Watch doesn’t have a pedometer app with complications built in from the get go, as I’m sure that many are like myself “upgrading” from a fitbit or similar. But on to this app. First of all, virtually everything is a positive. Well designed and intuitive etc. However (I presume this is due to a limitation of the Apple Watch) it is *very* slow to update on the complication. I had a fitbit previously that updated as you walked. With this app and the Apple Watch, I find myself opening the fitness app and scrolling down to find my actual steps, as the complication is often several hundred behind. There’s no alert when you’ve reached your daily target either. Overall, worth keeping an eye on and the developer has a great eye for design and UI. Would love to see live step counting and a goal completed alert.

Great app, though a few tweaks are needed. Enjoying the app, though I would like a few changes. I would like to be able to change it to Miles instead of Kilometres. Also I would like some sort of month report what can be saved on phone....then it would justify everything about it this app.

Loved the precious watch complication. Thank you for all your hard work on the app. I loved the last iteration of the watch complication with the large number in front of the rings signifying the number of steps for that day/week compared to the goals. Now there are just numbers for today, and the trend, which isn’t as useful imho. At a glance, I really care about today’s steps, and how close I am to my goal for the day and the week (the rings). Please bring back the previous watch complication!

In the right direction. Coming from a pixel watch and hated the Apple stock activity tracker, I really like to have a pedometer readout at a glance and with apples built-in complications, it’s not really possible. That’s very cheap complication, does somewhat alleviate the problem however, I really wish that it came with two complication types. The circles with your daily step and weekly step is nice, but I’d much rather have a number read out, integrated into a complication. I’d like to see that added in the future if possible. Just a little, not ugly looking. Number readout for daily step count. The circles this complication currently offers. It’s nice though it looks good and at least now the rings actually are showing my step my steps but I’d still much rather see a number at a glance. Worth the .30 cents though, I’ll pay more if a new version releases with both complication options… sadly most of the other step complications on the use your phone as the to compute steps and that’s not helpful. This one seems to use watch sensors ! Also, all of the other available complications that just have a number read out are pretty ugly, so maybe this developer can make some thing that just looks a little more refined as far as a number readoyt goes their rings look nice.

Have to close app and reopen to see total steps during the day!. Cannot say much more. Hard to get enough words to satisfy this review. Guess I should change it to 3 stars!
- ★★★★★want live updating and customizable watch complication
Good to great?. I really like this app to use on my Apple Watch and would LOVE it if I could set the goal in steps that I want and a vibration and maybe confetti or something cool would flash on the watch screen when I make my goal. Thanks!

Weekly. I really like the weekly total steps to track the week plus the day. I wish it would combine the iwatch and the phone data to create one number. Maybe an option to use the data from Apple health which merges the data already.
- ★★★★★want live updating and customizable watch complication
Really good counter!. I'd rate it five stars if the rings that show when you open the app can be put as the complication! That'll look nice!

Nice. I've had to edit this review as i initially couldn't get this working but it's fine after a reinstall.
