## What is Steps Tracker?

Steps Tracker displays your daily step count as a complication on your Apple Watch face, refreshing automatically in the background throughout the day — no need to open the app.

Watch Face Complication
A visual progress indicator sits on your watch face, showing how close you are to your daily step target at a glance.

Goal Notifications
Get notified on your watch when you reach two-thirds of your target, and again when you hit or exceed it.

Customisable Step Target
Preset to 10,000 steps. Change it with a swipe in the watch app, or via the iPhone companion app.

Simple & Private
No account needed. No data collected.

Steps Tracker is designed for Apple Watch. An iPhone is required as usual, but the experience lives on your wrist.

### 5/5 — Simply Perfect

*2025-04-15*

I just needed an app that would display my steps as a complication on my Apple Watch. This worked perfectly. No needless bells and whistles.

### 5/5 — Notified

*2022-08-25*

Why my Apple Watch don’t notify when I reach my goals?

### 3/5 — No history

*2022-03-23*

Works great but there is no history. I like competition and like to see a weekly history

### 3/5 — Does not show steps

*2020-07-02*

I was looking for the ability to see my steps at a glance. I expected, in error, that the actual number of steps to show on the watch face. You actually have to push the graphic to get the number of steps. I would not have paid for that feature.

### 3/5 — Sharing and contests

*2019-11-26*

You really need to make it so you can compete against friends.

### 1/5 — Never showed up

*2019-07-11*

Never showed up on complications. The app itself could have instructions but they just leave it up to you to figure out. Hate that kind of thing.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you can not see the complication. It sounds like the App may not have fully installed on your watch. The next time you open the iPhone App (after successfully installing on the watch) the iPhone App will give you instructions on adding a complication. Could you try making sure it has installed on the watch and then opening the iPhone App again? Please do email me at support@drewwestcott.co.uk as I'd love to solve this with you.

### 5/5 — Accurate

*2019-05-10, version 1.6*

I can trust it to be accurate

### 5/5 — WALK WALK WALK

*2019-04-13*

SIMPLE!!! Does what I need it to do, track my steps!! Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Step counting

*2019-04-08*

So much fun

### 4/5 — Does not show any steps

*2019-03-21*

I got this app because it said it would automatically show my progress. The dial stays at zero. Feeling very frustrated

I wrote the above review and Drew responded right away with a way to fix my issue. I really appreciate the great customer support!  Giving a 4, not a 5, because it would have been a lot easier for the developer to be proactive in addressing this issue so I could help myself somewhere, e.g., FAQ, help button, etc

**Developer response:** Hello nyyys,
Sorry to hear about your frustration. I can confirm that the App should show your Steps and the ring should update throughout the day.

Can you go into the SETTINGS App on the iPhone and check under PRIVACY and then MOTION & FITNESS and make sure the switch is on for Steps Tracker.

If that doesn't help, please reach out at support@drewwestcott.co.uk as I'd love to figure out why it isn't working for you.
