### 2/5 — Great app except for the GPS

*2021-03-20*

The app works ok except for
The GPS recording movement on the map, I walk along a creek trail for 5 KMs, the app made my walk look like I was drunk and didn’t really follow where I walked, the developer needs to address this, until this is fixed, save your money and use something else for use the free pedometer built into the iPhone.

### 4/5 — Would have given it 5 stars but missing interaction with FB

*2014-02-18*

Great simple app BUT don't like the fact that it's not linked with FB so you can post results like RunKeeper app. Seems a bit primitive in this day and age!

### 3/5 — iStep GPD Pedometer

*2014-02-07, version 2.0*

I used this app once.  Although this is an easy app to use, the "Map" icon did not show my route, and the "Distance" and "Time" icons did not record accurate information.  I'm hoping the number of steps recorded is accurate. I'll continue to use it for now.

### 2/5 — Kay

*2011-08-01*

Rubbish! Stops counting if you get call/text or phone goes into standby mode. Sort this out please!

### 3/5 — Not bad but needs improvements

*2010-09-17*

Works ok and seems to measure distance fine
However if you get a text the count stops until you clear it - so if you miss it you lose the count - sort it out !!

### 3/5 — Okay For Walking, Not Running

*2010-08-06*

Seems to assemble correct data for walking, but if you run, even with set to run, distance is way off.  Ran 10 km (verified) and the unit told me only 7.6 km.

### 4/5 — Uncannily accurate!

*2010-03-20*

Pros:

Outstanding accuracy 
Clear and simple display
Automatic log kept of daily step count

Cons
Settings menu doesn't clearly indicate which units you have selected 
Cannot run in background. Ie you cannot use the app at the same time as another one. Therefore you cannot walk as well as listening to I-tunes for instance.

### 4/5 — Great!

*2010-02-01*

Simple to use and like the ability to change settings to suit individual use.

### 1/5 — walker

*2009-12-13, version 0*

terrible, wasn't accurate at all, don't want to pay for it.

### 2/5 — It's a rip off

*2009-11-17, version 0*

I purchased this app because the summary stated that I could use other apps while this one works in the background.  Not true.  I want my money back.

### 3/5 — Can't count daily steps

*2009-10-15, version 0*

if you want to count your steps over the day, you can't do it with this product. Battery won't last more than a few hours.

### 4/5 — Does what it says but ...

*2009-09-13*

I gave 4 stars to this small application to encourage some improvements. It works but:
- Running or Walking buttons should be on the main screen. Automatic detection (run or walk) should be here too
- total time should be in the logs, and be more accessible than in the setup menu
- why do not track the run? With google map or smoething else?
- A GPS support Will ne appreciated because distances are always precise.

Good and simple application for the price... Recommanded

### 1/5 — Rubbish!

*2017-05-12*

I paid for this app because the old version was no longer compatible with iOS on my phone/iPad......but it's still not compatible! Please revue the situation and release a new update.

### 1/5 — Horrible App!

*2014-09-25, version 2.0*

This did not record steps accurately. I finally counted steps myself during a 2 mile walk and compared every 200 to 300 steps. It recorded about 25 steps to my 100 steps and was only after attaching my phone to my leg! It recorded even more  inaccurately in my pocket! Do NOT buy this.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2014-04-23, version 2.0*

Don't bother buying. Didn't accurately record anything. Didn't even come close! Wish I had read the reviews first!!

### 1/5 — Do not purchase this app

*2014-04-03, version 2.0*

I purchased this app to help me monitor the number of steps, distance, time and route of my walks. The app did not accurately map the steps and distance...giving my a small fraction of steps and half the distance walked. I would not recommend this app until these bugs are fixed.

### 1/5 — I steps

*2012-11-03, version 1.4*

I steps Lite is free and more accurate and allows U to set parameters in settings to insure accuracy and paid version does not and is far from accurate

### 1/5 — Master

*2012-09-17, version 1.4*

This app is worst ever I would rather read

### 1/5 — App Reads Well

*2012-04-30, version 1.4*

This application reads well however as many have pointed out this app stops and fails to provide correct information. I checked the application as I walked out the door working fine after about one hour I checked and in had stopped working. Restarted for the next hour and it worked ok but the total walk was on logged in part. I will take this off my phone and kiss the $1.99 good bye, to bad there is no way for a refund? I know it is petty but hate to pay for something that does not work completely!!!!

### 1/5 — Rubbish and waste of money

*2011-09-26*

This is a rip off. It can't even count the time right let alone steps or distance.

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2010-03-15, version 0*

The app doesn't measre distance accurately or consistently. It doesn't work if other apps are on. Turns off if you receive a phone call.  Sometimes turns off for no reason.

### 1/5 — Ped apps aren't so great until....

*2010-01-27, version 0*

Until they figure out how to let it run in the background. It is fairly accurate, but if you go back to your iPod app, or answer a phone call,  it will stop your count. Also, they should make the start -stop a slider so if u reach into your pocket to check your progress, you don't accidently turn it off.
PLEASE figure out a way to LET IT RUN IN THE BACKGROUND! Your almost there.
Also, if you could make time and distance a larger font so I don't have to put ok my glasses, that would be cool...

### 5/5 — Best App

*2020-05-02*

I’ve been using this map since many years. It’s effective and does the job. Most importantly its accurate

### 5/5 — Isteps

*2016-08-21*

This app is the best at what it does,I have compared this app with at least 10 others and this app comes top every time.It's the most accurate,with an almost idiot proof interface and the fact that it saves your walks for later viewing is great.Although it hasn't been updated for a while, I can confirm that it works in ios 8 and ios 9 without a hitch.I've been using this app now for a couple of years now and it hasn't let me down yet.

### 5/5 — Simple elegance

*2015-01-04, version 2.0*

With the iOS 8 health app recording all steps all the time, this is a terrific way to select specific walks for saving and tracking: "Start new walk" at the beginning and "end walk" at the end. The number of steps, start and end times, time taken and calories used are reported, and the path taken is shown on a map/satellite image. Other apps do this, but what I really appreciate about iSteps is the design and interface; sometimes  less is more and the simple elegance of this app is exemplary.

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2012-02-16*

It's very nice but I will be happy if we can be able to  send results by email! Or to share on Facebook ;)

Thanks for your good work!

### 5/5 — M

*2012-02-02, version 1.4*

Much improved. V1.4. Slide to click stop and start buttons. Haven't tried running a background app while I walk, like NPR or PandoraUmmHmm

### 5/5 — Loved it

*2010-07-06, version 0*

Great app. Use it all the time. Doesn't seem to work with the new Apple upgrade. Hope that is fixed soon. I am missing this app.

### 5/5 — best yet

*2010-04-09*

Best pedometer you can get from iTunes , no flaws except you should be able to use it in the backgound/ not have to stay in the app for it to count your steps. Worth the money

### 5/5 — First class App.

*2010-01-22*

An accurate pedometer with a simple, uncluttered interface. Easy to set up and uncomplicated to understand - just remember to lock the buttons before you set off and you can't go wrong!! If you're looking for an easy-to-use, reliable pedometer that's not  too demanding on your battery, you've found it here!!

### 5/5 — Useful, Perfectly Functional, Great

*2009-08-12*

It does exactly as advertised. The interface is excellent. Runs in the background with my iPhone tunes blaring. It stops counting when I get lazy and rest. Well worth every cent. Tx......

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2009-05-02*

Surprisingly accurate. Great
