Leave a Review Pedometer++
Tunnel Vision
The developer has made a handy little app which this user has had running for years on Watch and iPhone. While the app duplicates what other built in functionalities of iOS provide it occupies a special niche. One curiosity remains. If you are going to play in the Apple arena which embraces sharing and cross functionality, why stop short of sharing iPhone data booked with iPad? Cross Forward does not appear to understand its customer community. If it thinks that porting data collected via iPhone to iPad is not what Apple users expect; if it views the roadblock as creating the same *tracking* functionality of iPhone into iPad, then it needs to change brands of whatever it’s smoking. This user would subscribe $ to the additional features if there was cross-platform sharing of the kind described. Folks are not expecting to lug an iPad on a walk or run. But, the larger screen of iPad lends itself to after-the-fact review of historical activity from the database created via iPhone use of the app. So, Cross Forward, do you have comment? Or, have you checked out. A response would be appreciated.Show lessiPhone app is great, the ipad version, not so much
iPhone app is great, works well, the ipad version, not so much. I’ve opened up many privacy screens to accommodate as much access as possible to both devices as well as the health, pedometer, and maps apps. And synced each to the other… allegedly. But the ipad version is only showing half the distance of the iPhone version, that I was wearing in my pocket. Same with the health app. It shares virtually all info, until it glitches and the numbers are completely different. Since it’s easier to read/work with the ipad version, it would be awesome if they would sync to each other. Anything you can do to make that happen? TIA for any effort!
Edit: The ipad app opens on the steps page, but won’t show steps. It says that the motion & fitness setting needs to be turned on, but the motion & fitness setting IS on in settings, and I’ve double checked the system settings, too. I’ve closed the pedometer app and turned off the ipad completely. When I turn it back on and open the pedometer app, the steps page still comes up, and says the motion & fitness app needs to be turned on.Show lessSimple & Helpful!
I’m not a fan of over intrusive apps… especially when physical health is involved. Every app I’ve tried has felt like an abusive relationship telling me that I wasn’t doing enough with small bursts of love bombing in between… those apps took the enjoyment of simply moving my body and trying to be more active simply because I knew I’d feel better if that was just a part of my life…
Pedometer++ is really the perfect activity app if you simply want to keep your body moving. It doesn’t constantly nag me to add other aspects of the app into my daily life, it doesn’t tell me how I didn’t reach my goal the day I wasn’t feeling well, it doesn’t push me… it simply informs. Yes there’s badges and reward systems available because people do respond to that but those aren’t in the forefront… tracking when you are active is what they focus on… and that’s exactly what I needed.
Btw… this is my first EVER app review. And I apologize if it seems like I am not real because of how I wrote it… I am an Art Director with copywriting experience and it’s hard to turn that off… but I promise… I am a very real person who has been loving this app. ❤️Show less
