### 3/5 — Forced ads

*2026-08-19, version 7.0.4*

I detest the fact that you were forced to watch or listen to forced ads just to see how many steps you made. They are constant, annoying, and find an alternative seems relatively easy. So this app will be deleted.

### 3/5 — Step n stride

*2026-08-03, version 7.0.4*

Not always accurate but better than nothing

### 3/5 — Too many adds

*2026-07-21, version 7.0.3*

Adds pop up too much

### 4/5 — Incentive and encouragement to get moving

*2026-06-15, version 6.2.2*

This app motivates me to be active and keeps me in motion.

### 2/5 — Steps

*2026-06-09, version 6.2.2*

Won’t display steps

### 1/5 — All Downhill

*2026-05-15, version 6.2.2*

This app used to work fine. But it has gotten progressively worse. It constantly gets stuck and under records distance walked And it loses track of previous months regularly. It’s been all downhill recently. It’s all an attempt to get you to buy Pro. Who would trust them?

### 1/5 — Very slow to update

*2026-05-06, version 6.2.2*

Too many ads and very slow to update

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2026-04-22, version 6.2.2*

Too many ads

### 1/5 — All Downhill

*2026-04-08, version 6.2.1*

This app used to work fine. But it has gotten progressively worse. It constantly gets stuck and under records distance walked And it loses track of previous months regularly. It’s been all downhill recently. It’s all an attempt to get you to buy Pro. Who would trust them?

### 4/5 — Steps

*2026-03-25, version 6.2.1*

This app has been the most accurate so far when walking.

### 1/5 — No settings to convert to kilometres

*2026-03-24, version 6.2.1*

Why does an upgraded version give a must worse typeface that cannot be changed and no option to read Kilometres instead of mile, when kilometres could be seen previously. 
The only improvement is historical data but that is countered by worse appearance and less functionality.

### 1/5 — Cannot see daily step count

*2026-03-19, version 6.2.1*

Why has this function disappeared?

Too many ads. Some are inappropriate. Difficult to get out of ad loop. Accuracy has diminished.

### 1/5 — Stops counting

*2026-06-01, version 6.2.2*
