Don’t bother, honestly go on YouTube and get a step test off there. ### 1/5 — Get stopped by other apps.. *2018-11-27* Had an old Queens Step Test App that was not updated with lates OS updates so bought this app.. When I’m using it and a calendar even or notification comes up it stops.. Also stops if screen goes to sleep.. I feel ripped off for this purchase, would like to ask for money back.. Audio tick/beep is better than previous app though.. Regards Miles Fromnowhere ### 1/5 — No metronome *2017-11-09* This app is useless. I paid $4.99 for nothing! ### 1/5 — No metronome or sounds *2016-09-04* Metronome and sounds on beep test worked the first time I tried this app after download and have never worked since. Useless and ripped off ### 1/5 — Glitchy as hell! *2016-05-03, version 1.4* Somethings not right with this app. None of the buttons are where they should be and it's difficult to navigate. Very glitchy!!! ### 1/5 — Calculation error *2015-09-25* VO2 is incorrect , comes up as a negative number that's not close to the correct answer according to VO2 calculation. ### 1/5 — No internal metronome *2014-09-18* Description notes internal metronome, however none is present ### 2/5 — No metronome *2017-08-30* This app is useless. It doesn't provide the beat for the client to set their step cadence. What's the point? I can time 3 minutes myself. I feel like an idiot for buying this. ### 2/5 — Needs extra equipment *2012-11-27* This app is pretty much a timer and a metronome. In order to perform this test you need a step and a way to measure your heart rate. If you don't have those you won't be able to use this app. ### 2/5 — Okay *2012-11-26* Well I am not a marathon runner or anything and I prefer hiking to running but after the initial check I'd never it again. Honestly good info but why would the average person even bother. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Way to Test My VO2 Max! *2012-11-21* As a distance runner, I'm curious to see what's my VO2 max... This app provided a simple test for measuring it. Got an excellent score :-) ### 5/5 — awesome fitnesses level tester *2012-11-20* I can't say I liked the results of the test...let's just say I have quite a bit of room for improvement. However, the app works great and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Hopefully in a few months I'll begin to work on my fitness levels and keep retesting myself with this app! ### 5/5 — Football *2012-11-20* I like you can compare yourself to others. I like the test. ### 4/5 — does what it promises, small bug in emailing results *2013-01-14* It does exactly what it says… tells you how to take the test, counts down for you, runs a steady metronome during the 3 minute test, then 15 seconds later it asks for your heart rate. It calculate your v02max for you and you can tweet, email, or Facebook the result. I ran into a small bug - after emailing myself the results, I couldn't exit the email screen of the app. Small bug, otherwise happy with the app. ### 4/5 — Good app! *2012-11-30* It's a very nice app to get fit, the interface is well designed and easy to use. It is useful but it could have more features like a heart rate test. Overall it's a good app, but it could be better with a few improvements. ### 4/5 — Jdubya300 *2012-11-20* This app seems to work. I think it is useful, but I wish the instructions were a little more detailed and that the application had more functions, like an included heart rate test. ### 4/5 — Good *2012-11-15, version 1.2* A pretty gods app. One thing that it can improve on is the count down as the beginning. After 1 it should immediately start. Other then that it is pretty good. ### 3/5 — Decent. Needs more parameters. *2013-03-06* Definitely does the job, but it would be better if user had the option of increasing the testing duration to 5 minutes. I could also appreciate a feature where the pace of the metronome increases after a certain preset duration has elapsed. I'd be more than willing to pay a little extra if those features are added. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
