### 4/5 — Great but needs an update for series 4 complications

*2018-09-29, version 1.2*

Please please please update this app so I can use complications in the new watch faces for series 4. That’s the only thing stopping me from rating this 5.

### 4/5 — Good App But...

*2018-06-20, version 1.1*

Really a great app but, it uses the Apple Watch 3 battery much faster than without the app installed. My wife is very active and uses her watch to keep track of her daily activity. I’m no where near as active as she is and do not use the app. Her watch battery goes down much quicker than my Apple Watch 3 battery on a daily basis and with the app installed she can use her watch battery up well before bedtime. My watch will still be showing 80% battery when her battery is under 10%. We have tried several different installs of the app with the same results.

### 4/5 — Love complication but...

*2017-05-20, version 1.1*

Needs to take steps from phone and watch by linking to health app

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2016-08-21, version 1.1*

Absolutely love the accuracy.  The dealbreaker for me is that in 'Modular' mode on my Apple Watch, it doesn't allow StepCard as the large center complication.  You do support the larger complication at the bottom for the Mickey Mouse watch face.  Why not the Modular?  I'm in my late forties and my eyes aren't what they once were.  For now, I have to stick with Pedometer++.  Please add support.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great step counter!

*2016-05-15, version 1.1*

Great step counter! The complication works great, the app opens quickly on the watch and the dashboard and history are excellent tools.

### 5/5 — Awesome!!!

*2016-04-23, version 1.1*

The search is over!  I was looking for a pedometer app that calculate my steps with my iPhone or without when using my Watch.  I downloaded a bunch of apps and mostly only calculate the steps when you are carrying the iPhone.  I was also looking for a good complication for my Watch that give me the total steps for the day.  From all the other apps I downloaded, this is by far the best from the bunch.  Also being able to see the entire steps for the entire week is great.  

Keep the good work!  👍

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2016-02-21, version 1.0.1*

Thanks to the author for writing this app. It's just what I had been looking for to finally replace my Fitbit. The complication is well designed and easy to use, kudos!

### 5/5 — Works Well

*2016-01-10, version 1.0.1*

The small complication for the watch is more accurate and responsive than any others I have seen. Well done.  I would like to see a large complication.

### 5/5 — Like what I see so far

*2015-12-14, version 1.0.1*

Like the simplicity of the app and the complication. One improvement I would like to see is the ability to set the color when using the multicolor modular view on the watch.

### 5/5 — Exellent step counter

*2015-12-13, version 1.0*

Great step counter for keeping track of steps on apple watch. Simple bit effective interface, works well.

### 1/5 — Will not install

*2019-07-13, version 1.3.1*

Series 4 here.  It gives error message saying it must be installed on Watch. Watch app is open and no option to install...

### 1/5 — Was a good app. Doesn’t work anymore

*2018-10-16, version 1.2*

This was a good app before. With Apple Watch series 4 it does not work at all.

### 1/5 — Can’t change Step Goal

*2017-11-22, version 1.1*

I would love to get this app a higher rating, but every time I change my step goal, whether it be on the phone or the watch, the new goal doesn’t “stick.” It reverts in a day or two to the prior goal. So it’s useless to me as I want to keep increasing my goal.

Support site has no way to contact the developer, so this is my only way to raise the issue.

### 1/5 — Wouldn't install on my watch

*2016-09-20, version 1.1*

After repeated attempts I could not get this app to install on my Apple Watch.

### 2/5 — Not accurate and drops steps

*2017-05-10, version 1.1*

When I saw the compilation earlier this evening on my Apple Watch, it said i exceeded 10K steps.  I tapped the compilation to see a summary of the past few days.  All of a sudden now my steps for today are in the 6K range.  Why did it lose 4K steps?  This has happened on several occasions.  So it's not just a one-off.

### 2/5 — Close, Needs A Little More

*2016-03-30, version 1.1*

This is the closest app for my watch that has given me what I am looking for in a Step Counting app. I want something that takes advantage of the Health features and displays the same steps as the existing watch steps, but I want it in a Glimpse instead of a Complication, and I would like to see one more page inside of the app before the dashboard with the same familiar circles that the Movement, Exercise, and Standing screen uses.

### 3/5 — Nice app but 7 day average is wrong

*2018-10-27*

Nice app but the 7 day average is consistently wrong. Pl update the calculation. It’s always quite short.

### 3/5 — Great complication

*2018-08-15, version 1.2*

Great app to use for Apple Watch to view steps much easier but for some reason i am not able to set as a complication on modular apple each face since last update. Would love if this could be fixed.

### 3/5 — Love this app...

*2016-08-23, version 1.1*

I really do love this app but I have an issue that I believe needs to be corrected.  I am prompted almost daily stating that the option allowing StepCard to display on my Apple Watch is not selected. When I go to that location on my iPhone it is selected; so I turn it off and then on.  StepCard then recognizes I have granted permission to track my steps.   Most annoying.

### 4/5 — Worked Great

*2019-12-14, version 1.4.1*

Loved this app when I switched from Fitbit to Apple Watch to have a great app for tracking steps. Unfortunately with the recent updates it is not syncing properly anymore and gets stuck at a step count. Hoping for some more updates soon.

### 5/5 — Simple App That Does the Job

*2020-07-20, version 1.5.0*

StepCard is a simple app that does what I need it to do: It allows you to set a goal and see progress toward that goal in a watch complication. I use it as a corner complication on the Infograph face.

### 5/5 — Attn: developer! Are you still supporting?

*2017-09-27, version 1.1*

I have five stars because the app is PERFECT for what many people wanted. A simple, regularly updated complication of steps on the watch. HOWEVER, since iOS and watch update, the complication randomly resets/defaults to percentage view instead of step count. Daily, I have to go into the app to to correct.

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2017-05-04, version 1.1*

Just does what it says it will without faults or difficulties. Very good!

### 5/5 — Thank you!

*2017-03-24, version 1.1*

This app is exactly what I was looking for in both how it looks on the Apple Watch as well as the simplistic layout of information. Thank you for the time you put into this app especially seeing as how it's free!!

### 5/5 — No need for pedometer on phone

*2017-03-17, version 1.1*

Incredibly happy to have found this.  My iPhone is a 5c so I don't have the processor that has the built in stepcounter.  This complication uses the watches pedometer which is perfect!  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great App: Slick and To the Point

*2017-01-12, version 1.1*

I've tried a lot of apps that simply show how many steps I've taken. This goes above and beyond. Love it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Most Accurate

*2016-11-21, version 1.1*

I've been using other apps that display steps complications on Apple Watch. So far this app has been the most accurate when comparing it to the steps displayed in my Health App. This app is almost perfect except I wish It could display the steps in the middle section complication of the Apple Watch. Maybe the developer can make it an in app purchase, but it be nice to have a nice big number in the modular face Watch.

### 5/5 — The best step tracker for apple watch

*2016-11-05, version 1.1*

Finally! Thank you for making this app. The watch complication makes me feel like I have my fitbit back! Was the only feature missing from apple watch. The complications are perfect and are able to be put on any watch face(even the new numerals watch face!) Highly recommend 😊⌚

### 5/5 — Percentage goal is awesome

*2016-10-22, version 1.1*

Thanks for making a percentage goal! I couldn't find any other apps that allowed a percentage goal to be displayed.

### 5/5 — Simple, it works

*2016-09-01, version 1.1*

Well done developer.
