This app is a joke.

Thanks.

Timer shuts down

Great app unless a phone call comes in. Great app as long as you don’t leave the screen. Great app unless your display time is set to anything but never. App will not function behind any other screens. Stops dead. You need to restart timer each time. Really? Seems easy for developers to readjust. Would even pay for function!

Disappointed

I found the pedometer to be very inaccurate with GPS turned off With GPS turned on, it is pretty accurate. The app does not seem to work in the back ground, if I forget to bring it to the front after using another app β€” no steps are recorded. The small, stand alone $20 pedometers work a lot better.

Pedometer by Luminant

Just tried it on iPhone 5 C. I like that you have options such as putting it in your pocket or carrying it in your hand. Easier to use than other apps like this. Can start and stop so you don't drain battery. I had downloaded IOS 8 on iPhone 5 C but apparently need 5S to work the new Health app as 5C doesn't have M7 motion sensor as the 5 S does. This app provides basic data without a lot of clutter you don't need. Only 99 cents

It works

It's fine. It is as accurate as such things can be and as limited as they are. Correct expectations are key. It does what it does when properly calibrated. However, it loses track or stops time or recording steps if not in its locked mode. Does not function unless active ....

Mr

Very accurate and consistently measures same mileage for same route.
Easy to read and the history feature helps keep consistent steps andileage daily.

Pedometer

This is a really useful app, combining pedometer with phone. I have lost almost 30 pounds by using this app to move more. The one big improvement I would like to see is for it to work in the background. If I am walking and talking on the phone at the same time, my steps don't get recorded.

Ok app, still needs very important work. Need to fix the issues

This app works for a workout session. I need this to track daily steps. Only way the app works is if the app is open and the phone is not locked, this kills the battery. Need to fix to allow to run in the background for daily tracking.

Very Good

I haven't had any problems with this app. The only thing I would suggest to improve is an adjustment for walking hills. You burn more calories walking uphill and I don't think the app reads that so then the calories aren't as accurate.

A pretty decent app!

Calibrate, adjust sensitivity based on your actual steps when using for the first time and you are good to go! Good app! Just not sure how accurate the "calories burnt" part. Apart from that its a pretty decent app.

It's ok

I will say that it's very sensitive when you move it will add 5 steps without actually stepping. But overall it works, as long as your fast walking it's pretty accurate more or less. I have been noticing lately that it pauses on its own and will stop tracking even when the phone is on lock and when I glance to check my progress I have to unlock it and press start for it to continue to track my steps which slows me down from my pace, so that can be annoying, especially if your the type of person who doesn't look at the pedometer until after your walk and you realize it never tracked your whole walk because it paused. :/

Inaccurate

Counts steps even when I'm not moving. Some days it counts more calories for less miles walked, and other days counts less calories for more miles walked. The calibration doesn't work either. All the pages should count/record the same info/steps/calories burned, and they don't.

Don

Downloaded this app. Have tried to use it on many occasions. It seems to be OK when you calibrate, but when you actually come to use it is inaccurate. Also I found on every occasion that if switch to music whilst using the app it switches from one track to another as your body/legs move.
Very disappointed with this app.

Great app!!!

It works and has been a reliable companion through several hundred miles and a weight loss of more than 100 lbs. It also serves as a stopwatch. My wife uses it to time speeches in her College Speech Class.

Very good

Very good, very reasonable accuracy, to listen to music while we walk, has a history of activities, much cheaper than the Nike kit, but not so accurate. and put only the display of the iPhone is directly connected, the developer should make it off after some time to save battery

Great Product

I love it. It helps keep up on my walking program. It's better then any stand alone pedometer I have ever owned!

Getting a Bad Rap

I see a lot of bad reviews of this app but I don't think they're deserved. Calibrating is a little tricky but once fine tuned this is a well functioning, reasonably accurate app. About calibration: I found that I had to adjust the sensitivity a couple of times to get accurate step counts. But that's easy, just a little trial and error. Use at least 100 steps to check accuracy. Once that was worked out the distance accuracy got much better.

I think we're getting spoiled by these apps, expecting everything to be easy. It just makes sense that a pedometer app like this has be calibrated to each person's stride, environment, etc. It'll take more than one try to get it right. I don't count that as a flaw. What d'ya really expect for 99 cents?

Love to Walk

This is a great app on my iphone. I walk every day and this keeps track of steps , distance , calories and time . I also listen to my ipod with headphones while walking and can receive phone calls while the Pedometer keeps calculating. Great awesome app.

Inaccurate distance

I did not like this app one bit. The distance was not even close to accurate. Used it for one day before I found another one. The only good thing is it will not turn off if you get a call or text.

AMAZING!! A MUST!!

This is so awesome!! Highly recommend it for anyone walking. It makes walking worthwhile and that's coming from someone that needs to walk more. The serious walkers must really love this.
