### 5/5 — speed limits

*2025-06-27, version 12.1*

I would like to ask if we can have a way to set up a speed limit like 3.5 or 4 km/h so we walk not too fast , and it will notify if me over the limit , please let me know if it is on the roadmap of this app

### 5/5 — Aziz

Excellent

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2024-08-14, version 12.1*

Simple set up, use it when I want to.

### 3/5 — How many steps you can do

*2024-04-30, version 12.1*

I was doing my steps I got 3000 and that’s the limit I was going to do 5000 a day I can’t
Because 3000 is the limit 3 stars

### 2/5 — It was good until it wasn’t

*2023-02-07, version 12.0*

So I have this app for my PE class and it was working just fine until I “reached my 3000 step limit” I still had 30 minutes left in class to be tracked but it demanded that I pay for the full version

Great app

Nice app for walk and running

### 1/5 — Totally Inaccurate / Huge Disappointment

*2020-06-12, version 11.0*

This App is a big disappointment. It misses a huge amount of steps, which means virtually every statistic is wrong. I’ve sent messages to the developer asking for help/guidance but not had even the courtesy of a reply. I am now going to ask for my £1.99 back... Don’t hold your breath!!

### 1/5 — Automatically stops the music
