User reviews

From the developer

This app simply displays your steps in Health, as well as any unmerged sensor data if you turn the switch on.

Response from developer

Thanks a lot!

Step counter not accurate.

Regularly watch the steps display one number then steps track backwards. Just saw them go from over 10,000 to 8,900. No explanation. Can’t rely on the info this is giving me

Response from developer

(reply aug 15 update: Based on your description, could you share your settings so I can reproduce the issue? It sounds like you may have Motion Sensor enabled. That feature fills the gap between the current time and the last time the Health app synced, then automatically switches back to the final step count from the Health app once it syncs.)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.

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?

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.
