### 1/5 — Bad upgrade no longer tracks steps

*2026-08-20, version 1.7.68*

### 1/5 — False information

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.68*

I’ve been using this app for many years, but really started paying attention to it in the last 2+ years. I have my daily step goal set at 8k per day. I usually reach that on a daily basis, often go over. Recently, during a conversation, a few people and I started talking about the amount of walking we do daily and when I mentioned my step goal was 8k, I was told that they walk closer to 14k-15k per day, in the same facility, same kind of role, except they report to me. The red flag is, I know I walk a lot more, move a lot more and do a lot more than the people under me, I am their “boss” and I set an example. So I purchased a belt clip step counter, and also purchased a wrist strap health tracker ( I won’t mention the name, I’m not a paid advertiser) and the iPhone steps app was insanely low. The belt clip steps app was way over double what the app counted and the wrist strap health tracker was around, or a little under half of what the app said. This can’t be a coincidence. I started to make sure I had my phone in my pocket for the last month to make sure it was “counting” my steps. Still way low compared to the other counters and the other people who had different apps. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong, or something that should be calibrated?

### 5/5 — Can’t help BUT review it

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.68*

Got tired of wearing the Apple Watch, but this app keeps me accountable. Glance at it every day. Love it.

### 5/5 — Getting back in shape

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.68*

Love this app

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-08-19, version 1.7.68*

Easy to use app.

### 2/5 — Close to perfect (I know you might say why 2 stars)

*2026-08-18, version 1.7.68*

So I think I downloaded this app for the same reason many people have. 

They are dissatisfied by lack of widgets for the standard iPhone health app. 

This does that great and actually has several of the widgets I wanted (daily steps, average day trendline comparisons, week comparison)

What I see it falls short is the widget refresh rate. As far as I can tell it does not refresh the widgets so you need to open the app to see them. 

At that point why have the widgets? Thats why two stars. If the point of the app to a person is the widgets and the widgets don’t add functionality but only add the appearance of functionally I give two stars.
