### 4/5 — Nice..

*2026-06-14, version 4.4.2*

Excellent and simple, just what I needed.  Just one thing, it’d be nice to have an option to show my highest step count ever.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-06-01, version 4.4.2*

This app is simple, free & has zero ads. No sign up needed. It’s exactly what I need.

### 5/5 — Excellent app for step tracking

*2026-05-20, version 4.4.2*

Excellent watch complications as well

### 5/5 — Great- and free!

*2026-05-17, version 4.4.2*

It’s hard to find a free Apple Watch app that displays steps and has no subscription fees.  Duffy is that app, and it provides more information than just total steps.  Hats off to the (open source) creator.

### 5/5 — Exactly what an app should be

*2026-05-13, version 4.4.2*

No ads, no tracking personal info, and no subscription required. It just does what it says it will do. Thank you, Dev! I just donated the maximum amount. Well earned.

### 5/5 — Best App for steps

*2026-05-13, version 4.4.2*

Been using for a few years and LOVE it can be added to my Apple Watch face for quick review of where I am with my step count!!! Best and easiest app to use!!!!

### 3/5 — Nice app with an issue

*2026-05-08, version 4.4.2*

It is very nice app simple and shows good complication on watch only one issue is it takes time a long time to update the steps. I have to click on my watch on it and then it will update. 
Once this is fixed this is best step app on the market

### 5/5 — Steps

*2026-05-06, version 4.4.2*

Thank you for making a free step counter that shows up on my watch face.  I look the simple app, just what I needed.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-05-04, version 4.4.2*

Works well with Apple Watch 11

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-05-02, version 4.4.2*

Simple and perfect

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2026-04-19, version 4.4.2*

One of the better apps for step complication.  Wish it had a better variety, nicer looking complications. ie. Actual steps count, rather than abbreviated X.X, in the round complication.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-18, version 4.4.2*

Great app

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2026-04-17, version 4.4.2*

I love this app.  It is perfect.

### 5/5 — Super straightforward, clean application

*2026-04-16, version 4.4.2*

Set it up and let Duffy count your steps. Nice Apple Watch complications let me know my progress at a glance.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-04-11, version 4.4.2*

Exactly what I was looking for

### 5/5 — MEGA!!!

*2026-04-11, version 4.4.2*

Die App macht genau das, was ich mir gewünscht habe. Eine Bitte habe ich noch, bitte an OS 26 anpassen, damit ich auf dem Zifferblatt auch in Echtzeit die gesamten Schritte sehe, ohne extra noch mal  händische aktualisieren zu müssen. Ansonsten alles tippi toppi. Vielen Dank für eine so gelungene App und dazu auch noch kostenlos und nicht sinnlos überteuert. Da gebe ich auch sehr gerne Trinkgeld

### 5/5 — Simple is

*2026-04-08, version 4.4.2*

The best and beautiful for both iPhone and Apple Watch.  Especially, I like the complication for Apple Watch to eliminate my pain.

### 5/5 — Perfect steps app

*2026-04-02, version 4.4.2*

Also thanks for Ukrainian language support

### 1/5 — Operational

*2026-07-05, version 4.4.2*

Every night the last hour, your app starts to glitch and stops working

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work Correct, also wants you to “Tip”.

*2026-04-15, version 4.4.2*

Immediately uninstalling this app after review. 

It doesn’t work. It’ll show 0 steps when I check my watch face, then a few minutes later show the correct steps, then back to showing 0. 

If you click into your steps from your Apple Watch on this app, scroll down a bit and you’ll see “Tip Jar”, where the app devs are trying to prompt you to pay them 99¢ up to $4.99. 

You’re not getting squat for tips for an app that doesn’t sync correctly and stay synced.

### 1/5 — いつの間にか文字盤が消えていた

*2025-11-02, version 4.4.2*

アップルウォッチで文字盤に歩数が表示されていて重宝していました。ただ最近のアップデートしたあとからインストールされていたはずが、いつの間にか表示が消えていました。
アプリをアンインストールして入れ直したり、ペアリング解除、再起動など行いましたがインストールできませんでした。
アプリのバグなら再アップしてほしいと願います。

### 1/5 — Doesnt work

*2025-09-25, version 4.4*

Deleted it as it kept showing my step count as 0, then the correct amount, then zero and repeat all day

### 1/5 — 実績消えた

*2025-07-09, version 4.4*

急に過去、現在の歩数が消えてしまった

### 1/5 — まるでダメ

*2025-06-15, version 4.4*

画面を見るたびに何故カウントが０になるのか？あちこち触ってるとようやく数値が出てくる。しかし暫くして画面を見るとまたまた０。やってられん。

### 1/5 — Not Accurate

*2025-04-24, version 4.4*

Today my Apple Watch and iPhone shows 10,984 step count and the Duffy app shows 12,682. That’s quite a big discrepancy. Both were syncing the first two days I installed this app but not anymore. Will uninstall.

### 1/5 — 星もつけたくない

*2024-09-07, version 4.4*

Apple watchで歩数が表示されなくなった。もう使わない。

### 1/5 — Very helpful! But doesn’t update automatically!

*2024-08-05, version 4.4*

I was about to return the apple watch because it was such a stupid thing to have fitness watch which doesn’t show you step count. I had to click 3 times to reach steps in fitness app. This is solved by this app! Thanks a lot! The complication design options are also nice! Edit: I learnt that I have to click on the complication to update the step count, which is again tedious! Please work on that, so as to update ASAP! Thats why reduced 5 stars to 2 :(

New update: duffy is not showing up in complication selection. The area is blanked out now.

### 1/5 — Language

*2024-06-11, version 4.4*

The language is only Japanese ?
How can I change ?

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — 🔥

*2026-08-10, version 4.4.2*

Does its job. Simple enough.

### 5/5 — Does what it says 👍

*2026-07-18, version 4.4.2*

One minor quibble (and I really am struggling at this point) would be the option to have the flights shown on the complication(s) as well as the steps. 
But otherwise, top marks.

### 5/5 — See steps on your watch face!

*2026-07-10, version 4.4.2*

Visualize step count directly the watch face without having to go through the activity app. You add it as a complication to Apple Watch. The app has an elegant yet simple design that displays steps from the preceding week.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2026-07-08, version 4.4.2*

Bought a brand new Apple watch specifically to link up with my dexcom g7 sensor to monitor my glucose. Only certain models of Apple Watches allow for this, and I was devastated to find out they don’t even give you a step counter for the watch! I’m also a bodybuilder and this was another essential component I needed with my watch. Most step counter apps with the phone don’t work properly so I was super happy to find Duffy’s step counter app. My watch now links up to the app and records my steps. Thank you so much 🙏

### 5/5 — Great no fluff app!

*2026-07-01, version 4.4.2*

No pesky ads or popups for subscriptions, this app is perfect at what it says it does.

Only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is I would love a couple extra complication options - particularly one that combines steps and distance.

### 5/5 — Does it just fine

*2026-06-22, version 4.4.2*

Perfect free app to count steps. Love the face watch steps, simplicity and the crash free experience. Please consider leaving a tip to the developper so he knows how grateful we are!

### 5/5 — Reliable and accurate.

*2026-06-22, version 4.4.2*

Reliable and dependable app.

### 5/5 — Exceptional app

*2026-06-18, version 4.4.2*

This app has helped me to gain my confidence in the Apple Watch again. I loved my Fitbit because it counted steps more closely. With Fitbit being sold to Google, the future for iOS is nearly done. This app has been a life saver and what I’ve hoped for!

### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for

*2026-06-16, version 4.4.2*

Exactly what I needed for my watch. My steps are now right on my watch face and I can sets a steps goal. There is a minor lag, to be expected - just tap the steps or open the mobile app and everything syncs. LOVE that it’s not cluttered with ads and pop-ups. Why can’t every app be like this?!

### 5/5 — Best step counter

*2026-06-06, version 4.4.2*

I downloaded 6 step-counting apps that integrate with my iWatch, and I was blown away by how easy and quick they were to use without needing extra steps or opening the app on my iWatch to refresh.
