So frustrating

I assume Apple must make it impossible to create a simple widget that shows step count, because this app/widget is quite unbelievably bad.

Response from developer

I'm sorry to hear you've had a frustrating experience. If you're still seeing issues, I'd really appreciate it if you could let me know what isn't working as expected. Your feedback helps me improve the app.

Steps don’t update in real time

Title says it all. How long does it take for your steps to tally to the overall counter?

Response from developer

If you want real-time updates, there is a feature that reads directly from the motion sensor. Tapping the number below the widget on your iPhone will enable live activity, allowing you to track the number even when the app is not in the foreground. For the widget, the app receives notifications from Health every hour, and the system updates the widget based on your usage to save battery.

Doesn’t update on Home Screen

This is pointless because the widget doesn’t actually update in real time. You have to click it to open the app and refresh the data. I might as well use the Health app at that point.

Response from developer

(Update: The fix was released on 24 May 2026) Sorry for the inconvenience. There is a bug in the latest update that may be causing issues, but this will be resolved in the next update.

Issues

The app will not count my steps. Several hours into it still says I have zero steps, but my Health app says that I have 8000.

Doesn’t update

Doesn’t update unless I open the health app

Response from developer

Update (24 May 2026): Widget updating has been improved. Sorry to hear about your experience. The app updates the widget as soon as it receives new step data. However, Apple ultimately decides when Home Screen widgets refresh based on system conditions and your usage patterns, so developers can't force them to update instantly.
