### 5/5 — This is a great app!

*2026-08-27, version 3.17.2*

This app has become a part of me! I glance at it a few times a day to see how far I have walked!

### 5/5 — It’s really good

*2026-08-25, version 3.17.2*

App is awesome

### 5/5 — Mark

*2026-08-24, version 3.17.2*

Great !!

### 3/5 — nun zählt er wieder…

*2026-08-19*

Totalausfall vom 03. bis 09.08.26!
Löschen, Neuinstallation halfen nicht. (neueste Software!)
Ab 10.08.26 zählt er wieder.
Ich habe noch einen anderen Schrittzähler, der mir etwas genauer anzuzeigen scheint. Es gibt leichte Differenzen zwischen beiden.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Stepwise currently uses the iPhone’s motion data to obtain step counts. If the app has not been opened for some time, older step data may no longer be available for Stepwise to retrieve. Unfortunately, deleting and reinstalling the app cannot restore data that is no longer available.

Small differences compared with other step-counting apps can also occur because they may use different data sources and methods of calculating or combining steps.

If you notice missing steps again, please open Stepwise and, if the problem continues, contact me using the support option in the app so I can investigate.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Stepwise verwendet derzeit die Bewegungsdaten des iPhone, um die Schrittzahl zu ermitteln. Wenn die App längere Zeit nicht geöffnet wurde, stehen ältere Schrittdaten möglicherweise nicht mehr zur Verfügung und können von Stepwise nicht mehr abgerufen werden. Leider können diese Daten auch durch Löschen und Neuinstallieren der App nicht wiederhergestellt werden.

Kleine Abweichungen gegenüber anderen Schrittzähler-Apps können ebenfalls auftreten, da diese möglicherweise andere Datenquellen und Methoden zur Berechnung oder Zusammenführung von Schritten verwenden.

Falls Ihnen erneut fehlende Schritte auffallen, öffnen Sie bitte Stepwise. Sollte das Problem weiterhin bestehen, kontaktieren Sie mich bitte über die Support-Option in der App, damit ich es untersuchen kann.
