### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2026-06-07, version 13.1*

Brilliant when it downloads, taking a long time to download ???

### 3/5 — No vote of confidence

*2026-02-01, version 12.1*

Not confident the step/speed is very accurate. Says I’m running when I’m not.

### 1/5 — Not Accurate

*2025-06-26, version 12.1*

I have used this app in the past; perhaps several years ago and then stopped using it. I deleted it because I was using a wearable. Now this week of June ‘25 I found the app again and added it back for use. Two out of three sessions it didn’t track with my Apple Health app. It just seemed to stop running on its own. I’ll give it a chance to track properly for a few more sessions. Maybe it was just a fluke.

### 4/5 — Timer not accurate!

*2025-04-11, version 12.1*

I’ve been using this Pedometer since 2014. I recently
 noticed it doesn’t keep accurate time. I look at the time when I start and stop. This pedometer can be off anywhere from 5-15 minutes. I thought maybe there would be an update but that isn’t the case. I don’t think the step count is correct either.

### 2/5 — Easy to use but error prone

*2025-01-31, version 12.1*

It's easy to use but it is showing incorrect time and steps data. I’ve checked my settings they are correct. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Return

*2025-01-19, version 12.1*

Great to get back to footsteps

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2025-01-15, version 12.1*

Pedometer should be automatic

### 4/5 — Timer not accurate!

*2024-11-23*

I’ve been using this Pedometer since 2014. I recently noticed it doesn’t keep accurate time. I look at the time when I start and stop. This pedometer can be off anywhere from 5-15 minutes. I thought maybe there would be an update but that isn’t the case. I don’t think the step count is correct either.

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2024-11-22, version 12.1*

Garbage.  Does not connect with Apple Watch.  Not worth a penny

### 3/5 — Love the app but...

*2023-08-23*

It's easy to use but it is showing incorrect data for number of steps and time elapsed. I have checked FAQs and my settings. Please help. Thank you in advance.
