Leave a Review ActivityTracker Pedometer
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!Show lesstrucky2640
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
Good designs, just way inaccurate
I think the app is designed very well. The stats are just what I need and are presented beautifully.
However, the app is heartbreakingly inaccurate. First, it rarely updates so I don’t get real-time feedback on my steps. Next, it’s total count of my steps is basically half of what my Health app and the Activity app say my step count is. For instance, it says I walked 9.8k steps on my watch, but it’s just 4.8k according to this app.Show lessBrilliant Sam
Floor tracking doesn’t work…
Unlike other apps (Fitbit, garmin , etc), Activity tracker does not track floors unless you were actually climbing stairs. For example I did a very steep hike with an elevation gain of 1200’ , equal to climbing 112 flights of stairs and the tracker showed 5 floors!
The rep told me this:” A flight of stair climbed is considered when you gain 10 feet (3 meters) in elevation and take about 16 steps. This is a very sensitive measurement which unfortunately can be wrong sometimes”. And then, subsequently this “ From what I understand, you didn’t actually climb floors today, rather went for a hike. The elevation gained during a hike can’t be measured this way.”
No refunds. What a waste of money for the “Pro” version. I DON’T RECOMMEND THIS APP,Show lessardnastrub
No need for a subscription
I like this app. It has a nice looking interface that’s easy to use. The information is clear and easy to find. I would really like the extra features found in the pro version but there’s absolutely no need to have a subscription for something that’s completely internal to your phone. Ridiculous! I would happily pay a one time fee for the pro version, within reason. That’s the only reason why I didn’t give it five stars.Show lessBuddy_9
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.Nice app BUT...
I ditched my Fitbit and have been using this tracker for several months now. I’ve been happy with it until the latest update. It’s harder for older eyes to read, and I really really really miss that it no longer shows me the percentage of my goal. I guess this information is available on a graph, but it’s tiny and difficult to decipher. Please restore that feature. I found it very motivating when I looked at that number.
UPDATE: I’m still using and enjoying this app (paying for PRO), but since the last update it is no longer giving me credit for reaching the daily step goal. I have exceeded the goal everyday this week (Sun-Fri), but it has only given me credit for 4days.Show lessmf54

Thank you for your feedback. We will consider your request for a future update.Notifications error
** I tried emailing support but it will not work. When you hit send on the support webpage, it turns yellow and does nothing. I am forced to leave a review as my only form of contact. **
I am a PRO user and enjoy the app. I have been getting odd notifications from the app recently. In the morning I get notifications that I am halfway to my goal while eating breakfast. My goal is 7500 per day and I probably have about 500 at this point. I just received a notification that I have met and even exceeded my goal. Again, my goal is 7500 and I am currently at 5500. This has been happening the last week or so. I have the most current version on my devices. iPhone 13, Apple Watch 7. Any idea how to fix this?
Once this is resolved I will change my review.Show lessJessneed

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry for this issues. We are working to fix this for the next app update which is due next week.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.NOW FIXED!
After the developers touched base with me twice after I gave feedback, they have reverted this app back to the lovely way it kept track of things before! I love the interface and had switched to a different app that I didn’t like as well (but at least it was accurate), but now I’m back to using this one, as it now appears to be working properly. Note: I do not use an Apple Watch. Thanks to the developers who actually listen! I also emailed a query to ask how to get my small widget back, but I did get that figured out already, so no need to respond. A+ for your efforts!Show lessKstnay

Edit: Thanks to your feedback, we've added back the old method of reading steps through the Motion Processor. Just update to the latest version (3.2.4) and make sure "Sync Watch & Health" is disabled in the app's Profile settings. Please let us know if this solves your problem. Thank you for your feedback. ActivityTracker now reads data from Apple Health where it is synced with data from Apple Watch and other sources so it takes up to 10m for the data to update. Rest assured that Apple Health is even more accurate than the previous method of reading steps. Please let us know if this clarifies your concerns.
