Leave a Review ActivityTracker Pedometer
Simple. Gets the job done. Apple Activity Tracker should be embarrassed!
Wow… how hard is it to track steps on your phone, or on your watch at the same time? This simple programming has apparently escaped Apple. It should be obvious that your watch isn’t on your wrist, and it’s time to take your steps off of your phone, but that’s not the case with their Activity Tracker app. Oye. Every other activity tracker, like Fitbit, has done this for years. This is grade school programming.
This app is simple and works.Show lessMozzez
First rate!
It may seem like such a little thing, but this was the first app I tried that actually told me how to use it. I tried a couple of the “free” (ad-supported) apps and wondered why I could not get them to work AT ALL! As it turns out, one has to enable motion-detection in the settings. Since this was my first time using an app that detected motion as a fitness tracker I assumed the same thing that enabled GPS to work also made this app work. One would think any app that depended on a certain setting would also inform you if the setting was incorrect. Oops.Show lessNV1Z
Activity Tracker is really good
I find it to stay fairly accurate for almost anything I do / with one notable exception. I have a three acre lot, and cut it using a riding mower. For reasons that I cannot understand Activity Tracker gives me credit for steps while I am riding the mower. It is not a one to one relationship (as in for every +/- 3 feet I ride I get a step), but it does show me as having made steps. This does not happen in a car or a bus or an airplane... so perhaps I am getting some secret exercise when riding on my John Deere that only Activity Tracker knows about! My only complaint is that I occasionally hav I rboo my phone because Activity Tracker locks upShow lesstrucky2640

Thank you very much for your feedback.Funny glitch))
I like this app, I really do. Have been using it for a long time on my iPhone. Recently I’ve got an Apple Watch so I purchased a Pro version to see all the numbers on the screen. A few days ago I came across a funny app glitch: despite the lesser amount of steps I walked - the final number just got much bigger. After going over changes of my daily activity I came to a funny conclusion - the app recognizes hands’ movements while KNITTING as steps. Thus I gained around 1,000 daily extra steps just for knitting a hat! Hope the developers will be able to fix this flaw.Show lessFalb33

Thank you for using ActivityTracker for such a long time! Have you activated Sync Watch and Health in the app's Profile settings? If not activate it for best results. Since the Motion Processor in your iPhone reads steps from the accelerometer in order to save battery life, some hand movements can be wrongly interpreted as steps. Please let us know of this clarifies your concerns.Activity Tracker is really good

Thank you very much for your feedback.Love this app!
I love this app and how easy it is to use. The only thing I find to be inaccurate is the flights of stairs each day. I often find it to be missing several flights each day. I would also like if I didn’t have to wait until the next day to see my total number of counted flights. I still love the app though. I have found the stairs issue with every app I’ve tried along with the Fitbit. Not one has regularly counted the flights accurately. This app also counts the calories burned and distance besides the number of steps and flights of stairs.Show lessCarolynBikerGirl
Love it but
Love the simplicity of the tracker and it’s got me paying attention to how much I walk per day and Making sure I reach my goal , which brings me to why I only gave it 4 stars. Everything is set on my iPhone and Apple watch but they don’t always sync and when they do the app takes the lower steps. The other day I had 3,340 steps on my iPhone but the watch had 2,958 when they finally synced the phone also said 2958. If there is a delay in syncing I can deal with that but I would like it if would take the correct step count.Show lessPatch196

Thank you for your feedback! If you have activated "Sync Watch & Health" in the app's Profile settings your iPhone and Watch should show the same steps. It may happen that they are unsynced just for a short amount of time. If this happens often you can try to restart both your iPhone and Watch. Please let us know if this solves your problem.Activity
So far it's great my purpose is to improve my walking skills. I have been on the wheelchair for 10 years and just started to walk one year ago in February I know I will always have to the wheelchair but to walk in the house and when visiting family and friends. Thanks for the app Its great
I'm not able to walk like l did before my fall last year, therefore I'm in my electric wheelchair most of the time but I still walk as much as possible. I don't know if you can tell if I use this chair as much as I do, but I still like the app.Show lessLola Sweet Pea

Thank you for your feedback! Wishing you the best of health.Incorrect mileage counts
Now we walk 9 miles a day and I’ve had to “ tweak “ the step length several times. It just starts tracking fairly well then it will lose a mile or more on the same trails we do every morning. So even implementing your suggested “ fix” does not work all that well. As stated in original rating below it barely counts the back now 2 miles of trails and there is a very strong cell signal there so that’s not it either. I would have to take the step length up to 48 or so get a reading so I’ll just “ guesstimate “ until I find more accurate system. I’m so sorry I paid $4 for this app! I walk pretty much the same 3.7 mile walk every morning with my dog. The only time it varies is when we add the last part of trails on so more steps NOT FEWER! Every 2-4 days this app screws me out of 1-2 miles! Since it’s pretty much same morning walk I don’t get it! Even parked my car at last part that it NEVER counts more than .3 miles and started walking 1.2 miles by its self! Did that walk today with regular walk all it registered was 2.7 miles! Looking for more accurate app. Need CORRECT info for ortho doc. Reply to developers: I already tried the custom step settings. This app seems to have MAJOR issues with any type of non flat terrain.Show lessScout 2009

Thank you for using ActivityTracker. Please note that ActivityTracker tries to estimate your Step Length from your Height (set in Settings > User Profile). But you can also set a custom Step Length (in Settings > User Profile) so that it matches your distance. Please let me know if this solves your problem.Love this app!
