### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-02-27*

All it requires is a one-time subscription, since asking for recurring payments from apps that provide only a small service feels unfair.

### 4/5 — Stepping

*2026-01-20*

Not accurate

### 4/5 — Nice

*2018-04-16, version 4.3.1*

Really nice app.

### 4/5 — Best app for me

*2017-07-08*

Really love this app works well with iPhone and iwatch. Seems very accurate. Would be 5 stars if I could see my distance in miles

**Developer response:** Hi, if the country on your phone is set to somewhere that uses the imperial system, Daily Steps will default to displaying distance in miles. Cheers.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2017-07-07, version 4.2*

After 1 week the app is already encouraging me to stick with it! Very helpful 😊

### 5/5 — منتاز جداً جداً

### 5/5 — essentially flawless

*2017-03-31*

I've been using this for years now for watching my steps (obviously) and its pretty accurate, free, and does exactly what it says it does. Personally i don't open the app much as it connects with the  Apple Health app and you can see graphs and all there

**Developer response:** Hi, Thanks for the positive feedback - I'm glad to hear you like Daily Steps!

### 4/5 — Only metric measure for distance

*2017-02-21*

Generally excellent app although would be perfect if could show distance walked in miles. 
Interface and icon are rather old fashioned.

**Developer response:** Hi Anup, 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear you like Daily Steps! Just so you know, you can view distance in miles if your iPhone location and language is set to a country that uses the imperial measurement system. 

Regards,
Zach

### 1/5 — Not Working

*2026-03-29, version 5.7.4*

Zero steps showing. Other pedometer app shows steps.

### 1/5 — Imprecisa

*2024-08-02, version 5.5.2*

Ho fatto due piani di casa mi segna 9😂 ho fatto 400 metri mi segna 1.5 km😂 applicazione per Topolino😂 sconsigliata

### 1/5 — ش

*2018-10-21, version 4.4.1*

يعلق ولا يحسب الخطوات اليومية

### 1/5 — Sad

*2018-10-08*

Hopeless had quadrupled amount of steps taken last week, today did not record any steps dispute on feet for at least 6hrs 😢, been ok up to this week

**Developer response:** Hi,

Sorry to hear about this issue.

Could you please try opening the Settings app and going to Privacy --> Health --> Daily Steps and making sure all three categories are switched on. It should work after that.

Sorry for the inconvenience. 

- Zach

### 1/5 — No steps recorded

*2018-05-19*

Installed yesterday, went on all day hike and no steps were recorded,

### 1/5 — Steps recorded and I just installed it

*2017-07-02*

Just installed it and it says I have steps from all week 
HOW I didn't even have it last week

**Developer response:** Hi, Daily Steps uses data already stored on your iPhone from the Health App. When you open it for the first time, the expectation is that there is data loaded.

### 1/5 — Negative 1 star...

*2017-04-28*

Note to self... "If no one has a written review of the current version, then its best to refrain from purchasing!" I can't help but feel punked... I never complain ... but I don't want my worst enemy to fall into this trap... smh... first prob.   There isn't a settings option... there are only three screens... the daily steps screen (as seen on the App Store) which the 7 day history is inaccurate... the second page option is an informational, listing step ranges from slightly inactive to moderately active... again... there are no setting options to set your personal goal... page #3 is the worst... "Tips". This page has the audacity to make suggestions on how to maximize your step count for the day (given there isn't a settings option at all... smh)    And it has the nerve to charge $1.99.... I want my $1.99 back to spend it towards a worthwhile app... exhale... How could you Zachary S.. ! You promised me greatness... & I believed in you & you snatched $1.99 from me... in exchange for a joke...  all I wanted was a notification once I hit my daily step goal:( uninstalled, immediately!

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you don't like Daily Steps. I understand that you would like a feature that gives you a notification when you hit the step goal, and I will consider this for a future update. 

In the meantime, if the app doesn't meet your standards, feel free to request a refund from Apple. Here's some great instructions on how to do so: http://www.imore.com/how-to-get-refund-itunes-app-store

### 1/5 — Won't track steps

*2017-04-13*

The app does not record  my steps.  I am not tech savy,  so I may be  missing something obvious.   The main reason for the low grade is that all the "support" options take you to a Facebook page.   No FAQ's  or email address for questions.  So  at this point the app is  non-functional and useless.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. 

In order to get Daily Steps to show your step count you'll need to give it permission to do so, by going to Settings -> Privacy -> Motion and Fitness -> Turn Daily Steps on. Repeat the same for the "Health" option.

If you require further help, please message the aforementioned Facebook page and I'll be happy to help there.

### 1/5 — Widget doesn't work

*2016-09-15, version 4.0*

Even on iOS 10 widget doesn't work properly. What the sense of the app?

### 1/5 — Widget?

*2016-09-14, version 4.0*

Hey!
The only reason to keep the app was quick access to the daily step progress through NC widget
Have you just removed it for all non-ios10 users???
Please return it!

### 5/5 — Favolosa

*2025-09-27, version 5.7.1*

E una bellissima App però il widget per la Home e troppo piccolo ma non si può avere piu grande

### 5/5 — One of the best pedometer apps on App Store

*2025-07-09*

I like the Apple Watch complications.

### 5/5 — Daily walker is GREAT

*2025-04-08*

If you forget or use a different type, your phone will automatically be aback up. So you stay in your ball park.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-01-06*

I was formerly using the “pedometer” app, this one is so much better!  Catches every flight of stairs, works with my Apple Watch perfectly. Glad I found it.

### 5/5 — Sentimental

*2023-09-25*

Great app thZ

### 5/5 — Simple, effective

*2019-10-10*

I like the simplicity of this app. Let’s face it.  People are concerned with so many things that they often overlook the main thing! Am I moving or am I spending time on my apps?

### 5/5 — Pratique!

*2018-08-17, version 4.3.1*

Si vous aimez savoir combien de pas vous faites chaque jour ça fonctionne bien!

### 5/5 — برامج رائع

### 5/5 — Bbz
