### 4/5 — Fehlende Widgets

*2026-08-01*

Es fehlt ein großes Widget zum Ansehen aller Werte.

**Developer response:** Danke für die Bewertung! Ich werde mir das Widget ansehen und schauen, ob ich es verbessern kann.

### 5/5 — The OG StepTracker is BACK!

*2026-03-03*

Wow, what a blast from the past. I used this app back in 2013 and it was pretty sweet back then. First time I ever saw an iPhone act as a pedometer. The motion coprocessor technology was pretty ground breaking back then. Unfortunately the app saw few updates over the years and the UI was totally out of date so I stopped using it. Looks like they finally gave StepTracker a new coat of paint and it's better than ever - actually more like a new engine, a new frame, AND a new coat of paint. I find this more useful than ever especially the workout mode.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your comment. I was really happy to finally have chance to bring Steptracker into the modern iOS world! Let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions for improvement.

### 5/5 — Step Tracker

*2021-11-19*

Convenient and great detail! Makes me walk more to meet my goal!

**Developer response:** Thank you mdm50! I am happy to know you like StepTracker!

### 5/5 — Best Widget

*2018-11-19*

This is my favourite widget! Simple, detailed and clean!

Thank you for such a great app!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Have you seen the widget in version 2.0? It's even better!

### 5/5 — StepTracker Review

*2017-11-27*

I’ve only just recently downloaded and began using this app as I just switched from Samsung phones to my very first IPhone and I absolutely LOVE this app already!! VERY ACCURATE on step counts and also very well at prompting me to step it up a little more and reach my daily goals!! I would recommend this app to anyone!! And a 5 sec vid-ad isn’t all that bad in my eyes either!! But there are ALWAYS those negative Nancy’s out there!! Don’t pay them no mind!! This app is AMAZING and I will be a lifelong user of this app from here on out so thanks for taking the time to create such a wonderful and accurate app!!

**Developer response:** Glad to hear you like the app. I hope you check out the latest update because we made some big changes recently!

### 4/5 — Good App, but Needs One Improvement

*2017-07-26*

Only the current week can be viewed in portrait mode. My instinct is to swipe left to right to see previous weeks' steps.

**Developer response:** This bug has been fixed in the latest update.

### 4/5 — IOS9

*2015-11-10, version 1.24*

Doesn't seem to work with IOS9.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2015-07-18*

Love this app. Helps me keep my daily movements in mind so that I actually tend to walk more. I find myself consciously thinking about how many steps I take

**Developer response:** Thanks. I feel the same way. I find the leaderboards personally help keep me motivated...
I hope you check out the latest update because we made some big changes recently!

### 4/5 — Step tracker

*2015-05-26, version 1.24*

Great app. Simple to use.

### 5/5 — Steps

*2015-04-04, version 1.24*

It is an app that shows you how many steps you have taken. It is in English.

### 5/5 — Hike for life.

*2015-04-04*

I use step tracker on my hikes. I started at 270 and now weigh only 185 pounds after setting my step count goals every day. The new iPhone 6 updates have a better mileage tracker that calculates my distance traveled more accurately. The old technology available in step tracker's previous version could only use stride length, which was just a rough estimate of distance. I use these on my trail hikes since I am a volunteer at a national park and hike at least five miles a day. So far, I am keeping the weight off.

### 5/5 — Best of the bunch

*2015-01-07*

I've tried various step tracking apps paid and free ones,  but they all seem to have one thing in common 
They tend to Drain the battery some more quickly than others...
This Application on the other hand uses minimal battery life when connected to my iPhone 5s and collects the data in a easy to read format from the Built in M7 coprocessor. 
First step tracking app that stays on 24hrs a day
Gladly paid the £0.69p to get rid of the adds
And when I had a problem it was dealt with straight away, great customer service....

**Developer response:** Glad you had such a great experience with StepTracker back in 2015. I hope you're still with us (or will check back in with us) as we made some really great improvements lately that I'd love to share with all the early users!

### 5/5 — Simple and Evolving

*2014-12-26*

The simplicity of this App makes it simple but the best part is how it continues to evolve and still keep its core simplicity. The Game Center Scoreboard is not only fun but keeps you motivated.  Stair counts are great on the new phones. The only drawback is it is only works on newer iPhones (5s, 6, and 6 plus).

### 5/5 — Отличный простой трекер

*2014-11-16*

Класс! Спасибо!

### 4/5 — The

*2014-10-27, version 1.21*

Still stable but you seem to have removed the stride setting which allows the app to give very accurate mileage

### 1/5 — Needs upgrades

*2016-10-08, version 1.24*

I think they should upgrade it for iPhone 5c to because it looks like a good app but now I can't use it thx not trying to send hate

### 1/5 — Orphaned?

*2016-01-21, version 1.24*

Used to be my fav, paid the in-app purchase, recommended to all my friends and family. 

Alas, no longer works reliably after iOS 9.

### 1/5 — iPhone 5S - CRASHES

*2014-01-02*

The app stays on for a few seconds and then crashes every time. 

Too bad, sounds like a great app if it's everything it says it is.

Hope you get this fixed soon.

### 1/5 — New update is a disaster

*2013-11-18, version 1.5*

App now crashes constantly on 5s with latest IOS

### 2/5 — autoplay video ads with sound

*2017-08-02*

update: despite developer response i checked and still auto plays vid-ads with sound; Apple's Health app does what i need and keeps a better history

original review: i have used this app for years; it's a little funky — sometimes loses track of step count from a few days ago, and it recently started forcing ads into the experience; i was considering paying up to get rid of the ads, because on the whole it was all i needed — UNTIL it auto-played a video ad with sound — this is really unacceptable and so instead of paying to get rid of the ads i'm deleting the app and trying some others

**Developer response:** I'm sorry about the ads. When Apple discontinued the iAd platform I let the app go ad free for nearly a year but decided to switch to Google's AdMob network so that I could start making some money again. There are no ad options out there as good as iAd and I decided the full screen ad was better than having a banner take up screen real estate. I didn't know that ads played with sound by default (in my testing I hadn't noticed that). I will look into it. If you want to contact me via email we can discuss the other bugs which I have not seen in my testing (and I use my app daily myself).

### 2/5 — Crashes on IOS 7.12

*2014-09-29*

Layers version crashes on IOS 7.1.2 - not planning to upgrade to IOS 8 until the bugs are fixed

### 2/5 — I get 490 steps a day is that normal?

*2014-01-03, version 1.10*

I drive mostly and only walk from car to home.

### 2/5 — need to improve more

*2013-10-25, version 1.2*

The new update could add a daily goal, but difficult to set a goal exactly such as 6000, 8000.

### 3/5 — Add placement

*2026-04-07*

The place that you have put the adds does not let me to click the buttons at the bottom and I am unable to click or access it as I am on mobile

**Developer response:** I understand where you're coming from, but that's kind of the point - I'm trying to encourage people to buy the $1 lifetime unlock to access the extra feature. With the unlock you get the ability to access the history button by removing the ad. The price is $1 right now and it's good for life. 

If it's too confusing maybe I will disable the history button and add a "purchase to unlock the history" banner as well, but I thought the ad placement was simpler...

### 3/5 — Widget

*2025-03-28, version 1.29*

Disappeared from lock screen with iOS 18

### 5/5 — It keeps me motivated!

*2026-05-24*

I really love this step tracking app, it’s easy to use and I love that it tracks my stairs for the day as well as my steps. It’s also fun to compete with friends every day, motivate each other and try and make it to the leaderboard!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear that you like the app! I agree, I find it motivates me to keep moving - especially the leaderboards!

### 5/5 — Right

*2026-05-02*

Party like it’s 2013

**Developer response:** Yep - we'e been around since 2013. Glad to hear you're still with us after all this time!

### 5/5 — Steps

*2026-04-25*

Appears to be very good for steps. Extremely poor for stairs - or maybe us oldsters climb too slowly to register. Our stairs are 13 steps and I do them 6+ times a day but only 1 registers and usually only up - I never go down apparently

**Developer response:** Thanks for checking out the newest StepTracker and I appreciate the updated review!
Yeah - the apple’s step count is imperfect for sure but it’s supposed to count flights not individual steps. I live on the 4th floor and I went down once and up once today and it reports 3 flights down and 3 flights up - not perfect but good enough I guess. It uses change in elevation to try to estimate the flights so the vertical distance is more important  than # of steps. I hope that helps and I hope you enjoy the new update.

### 5/5 — Efficient and accurate

*2026-04-15*

I have various step tracking apps .  I like this one because it’s really clear on daily activity vs still. I also like the daily trends.  The widget is greate too .  Nothing too complicated about this app which is a positive for me .  Not sure I need a leaderboard but others might find that incentivising.

**Developer response:** Thanks! I added the leaderboards because I wanted to do something novel that Apple Fitness / Apple Watch etc do not already do. I thought that seeing how many steps others are getting might inspire you to be more active, but I also added an option to disable it in settings because some people just want privacy and minimal features.

### 5/5 — Original and best

*2026-04-10*

Exceptionally useful app that I find actually more functional than the native pedometer.  I love the redesign—really modern, clean look showing exactly the data I want to see in an intuitive visualization suite.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review! StepTracker was indeed the first and glad you're still with us after all these years!

### 5/5 — Step Tracker

*2026-04-07*

So convenient as we. Always have our phones!

**Developer response:** Thanks! I'm glad to hear that you find StepTacker as useful as I do!

### 5/5 — Très pratique

*2026-04-07*

On croit pas mais voir son progrès jour à jour motive vraiment….

**Developer response:** Merci, c’est formidable d’apprendre que l’application vous plaît !

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2026-03-11*

Купил. Всё замечательно, как я люблю 😊 - минималистичный дизайн и интуитивно понятный интерфейс 📊.
Не хватает только поддержки русского языка 🗣️.

**Developer response:** Здравствуйте! Мой родной язык не русский, но я уже переводил несколько своих приложений на русский с помощью ИИ. Возможно, переводы получились не совсем удачными — похоже, русскоязычные пользователи всё равно ими почти не пользуются после всей проделанной работы по переводу.

Мне было бы интересно узнать, не хотели бы вы вычитать и проверить будущий русский перевод перед его выпуском. Если вам это было бы интересно, пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной.

### 5/5 — Good Straightforward App

*2026-03-08*

Been using this multiple times a day for years to track steps, km, and calories. It’s accurate and you can customise it. New design look is fun, and  the app fundamentals are all still great. Good job.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. It's great to hear that Steptracker is working for you and I'm happy to hear you like the new design. Please let us know if you have any feedback or ideas of features you'd like to see in the future!

### 5/5 — Wow what an upgrade

*2026-03-05*

Wow I’ve been using this app for years and the recent update was amazing. Thanks for keeping this app up to date and keep up the good work!
