### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — dwrvwhite77

*2023-02-21, version 12.0*

Just a great little simple step counter that gives just the basics but has lots of adjustments in behind to get accurate data for anyone ➕➕➕➕➕

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-10-16, version 11.0*

Great app, very useful.

### 2/5 — Used to be excellent

*2020-10-10, version 11.0*

The app was the best when I first got it. It declined after updates: it always pauses automatically. You have to constantly check and see if it’s in active mode. I don’t understand why there is a run mode; its very inaccurate. It’s better to use walk mode at all times. Also, if you use a video app like YouTube, this app works slow and misses steps. Hopefully these can be fixed!!!

### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-10-02*

It’s not working properly from last two months
It’s showing less KM less calories it’s not functioning correct

### 3/5 — Not too accurate

*2020-09-15, version 11.0*

Good app but the counter is not so accurate

### 5/5 — No

*2020-09-02, version 11.0*

Yes yooooo

### 5/5 — X

*2020-08-30, version 11.0*

XXXX👍

### 2/5 — DF

*2020-06-30, version 11.0*

I use this app every day and when I went to use it today the ‘start workout’ button had disappeared. I deleted the app and then reinstalled it. The start workout button is back but needless to say my entire workout history was lost.

### 5/5 — Love the app but...

*2020-06-01, version 11.0*

It's easy to use but it stops showing current workout data at random. The data is there because it shown in the graph but numeric data of current workout has stopped displaying. I have checked FAQs and my settings. Please help. Thank you in advance.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2025-01-15, version 12.1*

Pedometer should be automatic

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2024-11-22, version 12.1*

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

### 1/5 — Akin to a needy child, or a bad employee.

*2021-07-24, version 11.1*

I don’t know when this happened, but this is now a needy child app. I used to view this as a set it and forget it app. In the past, I would randomly open the app to see how many steps I’d taken, and do you know what? It’d tell me. Now, if I don’t open for a couple of days, it LITERALLY HAS POUT AND STOPS COUNTING. I really don’t want to have to be paying this much attention. It’s supposed to be counting my steps. I shouldn’t have to be remembering to open it to get it to do that. Needy children, and bad employees need watching. Apps that count your steps, not so much, and I can’t believe that I’m having to stand over it.

### 1/5 — Switches itself off all the time

*2021-07-13, version 11.1*

Regularly stop counting step and goes into standby mode for no reason. Keep having to RESUME counting, even when screen locked. 
Totally useless, DO NOT rely on this software.

### 1/5 — Steps

*2020-10-17, version 11.0*

App not counting steps properly , giving wrong speed and steps per minute not happy with this

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-09-23, version 9.2*

Not working with IOS 13

### 1/5 — Automatic start

*2019-05-24, version 9.1*

The automatic start feature does not stop and start automatically.  I don't always remember to turn it on and it's very frustrating when it doesn't record my steps. I've sent emails to tech-support, but they have not responded. Has anybody else had this problem, and how did you resolve it?

### 1/5 — App Working is BAD

*2019-03-23*

It was all good until a day before and now it’s working incorrectly - calories and walking KM’s displayed are incorrectly published - it’s similar to the walking steps counter. Can I get a solution for this please?

### 1/5 — Crappy App

*2019-03-04*

The app should provide users the option of importing data from the health app.. this key feature is missing.. waste of money

### 5/5 — Crashed

*2021-07-06, version 11.1*

I have been using Footsteps app for years. A great way to keep up with my daily walk. It stopped keeping track of my steps as it would go to pause and not start up again. I deleted the app and now I have downloaded it again. I lost all of my data but I wasn’t getting credit for my steps. I hope it works better this time.

### 5/5 — Appreciate it!!!!
