Pedometer. Does not detect or count steps
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Walker. App turns off frequently on its own. Constantly tells you that you turned off data.

Paul. No directions. Poor app
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Adequate but not particularly accurate. Doesn't catch all steps especially when going up and down stairs. Misses a lot of steps when walking normal. But gives rough idea of steps. Would not recommend for accuracy. Also agree that old interface before update was much nicer.
- ★★★★★other
Ugly, ugly, ugly. It looked so much better before. Just because apple designers have no sense of style, why why why did you need to make this ap as ugly as the ios. It looked so much better before the 'upgrade'. Blech.

Limited Steps Goal. This is one of the only pedometers that allows you to hear an alert when you reach a certain number of steps, but they don't allow you to specify digits under a thousand. WHY NOT?
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Stops working. It just stops during my walk. Today I walked for an hour. When I checked, it only registered 2 minutes and had locked up entirely. Yesterday it stopped about halfway through my walk.
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Walker Lite - poor. None of these are much good. Same route, consecutive days, 50 and 51 minutes, results varied by 25% - eg. 4 km and 5 km. Others are the same
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Meh. I walk the same route every day and every day it tells me a different mileage and a different calorie count. Not very useful
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Not for me. I was hoping for an automatic reset daily but this app seems to do it once in awhile but not generally. So disappointed at the end of a busy day to check and find 0 steps because the thing never started. You get what you pay for I guess. Looks attractive though.

Notes loss. I started using this app 1.25 yrs ago, when I was on iOS 7. The inteface looked clean and a small file size for my lower capacity phone. The GPS gobbles the battery and oftentimes stops so it's more work to quit and restart the app. Then I upgraded to iOS 9 and tried a different app but was limited in keeping notes. (I track mileage of my shoes). But Walker still works in iOS 10 but the notes disappear. For example, enter notes, close that section, tap back to the List and the notes might still be there or NOT. If I click a different section such as charts or statistics and go back to List, and then a day, the notes might or might be gone. Going back a day or more all the notes are gone! Not sure why the developer does not updtate this app. Too bad.

Review. I like the app. Easy to use, but not very accurate. Today I walked 6 steps before it counted 1 step.
- ★★★★★battery drain
Nice features but problems. I have used this on and off for a year. The feature set is nice and useable. The more often I use it the more issues I have. The battery drain is the latest killer for me. I can't seem to stop it from depleting my battery when it is running. It also has failed to count large blocks of steps and shuts off randomly. I can't rely on it for daily use. Too bad.
- ★★★★★battery drain
Wrap. App works as advertised however it keep by Bluetooth on causing it to die half way through the day
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Walker.. The app has to be on stop to work. If it goes to start it does not register
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Good app. Seems to be a good app but it keeps stopping on me and not counting all my steps
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Not Too Bad. I like this app. It's pretty basic however it seems to be fairly accurate. I do wish there was a feature to show current speed and average speed. That should be in the next update.

Walker. I like this app.
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Ok, price is right. Often shuts off on its own.
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Inaccurate counter. Carefully counting steps, I find that this pedometer app is usually off by 200%. It works fine if you walk steadily on a hard road surface and then shut down the app, but if you keep your iPhone with you throughout the day with the app running can be off by thousands of steps. Frequently you get steps by texting. Riding in a car will give you a few steps every time the car hits a tiny bump. You have to open the app and turn it on at the start of a walk, then reopen the app and turn it off at the end of your walk if you want to count steps or estimate miles travelled. Lots of nice features and easy to use but no real support. "Detection of a Walk" function sounds nice but doesn't appear to work. The sensitivity is easily set but mysteriously labelled - does "Stronger" mean more sensitive to motion or less sensitive to motion? One nice feature is that you can turn off the GPS function to save battery power.

Great when it works!. Frequently stops for no apparent reason which defeats the purpose.
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Not bad at all. I've tried several walking apps. Finally settled on Walker, the paid version. Love the app. A little tweaking makes it very accurate. Simple, uncluttered UI. A few suggestions.... It would be nice to have average pace calculated and recorded, Would like to be able to save workouts before resetting data, Music feature does not access music downloaded to iPhone only. Shows entire library, much of which, in my case, is in the cloud, therefore not accessible without wifi.

Does the job. This app does what it needs to in order to measure and time your walk. Basic functions and information provided is useful. I would have given it 5 stars, but sometimes the start/ stop button will not turn off or on due to operator error. Would be better with a push switch, also pop-up over information screen is annoying.
- ★★★★★motivation and health benefits
Cobra. Great app really keeps me organized on my walking exercise and stats love the overall accumulate stats
- ★★★★★step and distance accuracy
Count the distance differently when running. I like this app so much , but the only the only reason that I gave it 4 stars is that it count the distance by the the number of the steps not the actual distance. That's why when I walk it count the distance accurately , but when I run it doesn't . When I run the steps are going to be less but the distance is going to be more than the number of steps. I hop they can fix the distance calculation when I am running so I can give it 5 stars . But over all this app is the best because it is simple and does the job that it suppose to do.

Very good app. It does what I needed to do very simple and standalone. :-)
- ★★★★★ease of use
Fantastic pedometer. This pedometer works great for me it does everything I want it to
- ★★★★★ease of use
Love it!. This app continues to be just what I want: simple, intuitive, useful features, reliable. I wanted an app to just count steps plus a little more, this is it! It's easy to start the pedometer on a moment's notice. One tip: be sure to log weight both evening AND morning...makes the chart work better.

Auto Shut Off. This is a great app, except that it now keeps automatically shutting off every minute. It use to stay on so I could frequently check my progress without having to turn on the phone and type my password...hard to do without stopping.
- ★★★★★app stops or freezes on its own
Walker lite. This app does everything it says it will do. It warns you if it hasn't seen activity or if it shuts itself down. Put the sensitivity at high for my I phone 4 with Lifeproof case. Recommend it highly and often.
