### 3/5 — Apple Watch No Longer Real-Time

*2025-06-29, version 3100*

Since the last update, I have to force close the app on my Apple Watch series 9 to get steps to update on the Home Screen using “Just Steps” as my widget. It used to update real time.

### 1/5 — Неудобно

*2025-05-05, version 3100*

Новая версия приложения максимально стала неудобной. Если раньше можно было маршрут смотреть свой, то сейчас это тупо отслеживание активности и все. Убили приложение

### 1/5 — Last update

*2025-04-25, version 3000.1*

This last update is terrible. Please go back to the previous version. Not any information that is useful now!!

### 3/5 — Does not update realtime

*2023-08-27, version 2022.2*

Iphone widget and apple watch widget doesn't update steps realtime

### 4/5 — Ok but does not provide every feature promised

*2022-10-03, version 2022.2*

I purchased the app specifically because it has Rest Days, and it said I can “adjust your daily step/push goal based on days you know you’re more/less active” when marking a day as a rest day. However all it does is turn off the goal feature entirely. This makes it the same as every other step counter app. 

It’s well designed over all but without this additional feature I feel that I wasted my money

### 1/5 — Sub par, needs some work

*2021-05-20, version 2021.3*

I chose this app, and paid for the plus, in part because of the widget options and goal setting. Widgets are just not available despite being shown in the preview images. (Emailed developer about it with no response) the vast majority of the time I cannot get the app to respond which trying to select history, insight or even settings. 

Wished I never paid for plus. Do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Im lost

*2021-04-01, version 2021.3*

I can not get this to work.
when I open the app All it tells me is to link it to Apple health.
How do you do this?
No instructions anywhere on the web I could find for this app...
I had high hopes from reviews 
But hard to enjoy or rate it high when I can’t figure out how to get it to work.
Sadly frustrated.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-02-27, version 2021.2*

No instructions, Not intuitive, could not get the app to work!

### 1/5 — Didn't work at all

*2021-02-21, version 2021.2*

Paid for the app installed & ... nothing. Other pedometer apps confirmed iPhone was recording steps but this was just a waste of £1.99

### 1/5 — Upgraded and app still doesn’t work

*2020-12-08, version 2020.10*

And I’ve emailed ‘Casey’ for help twice now with no response.  App won’t calculate my distance, stairs or goals - all have said zero since I got the app despite adding all Apple Watch permissions as instructed.  Don’t bother!
