Uncertain measures
I’d be grateful for a description of what counts as a step.

Hello and thank you for using Walk More and for taking the time to leave a review. My app uses your iPhone's built-in mechanism to detect and count steps. Your iPhone can track steps because its circuitboard contains a handful of very small accelerometers; as their name suggests, these can detect and measure acceleration and therefore sense when the phone is being moved in any of the 3D planes – and how quickly. So, while you might only consider a long stride during a power walk a step, your phone is actually counting each actual step you do, actually with excellent precision, and Walk More gives you a window to monitor your results taking advantage of Apple's own reliable technology while providing a gratifying interface and quickly glanceable history. Same goes for counting steps, thanks to the accelerometer going up and down stairs is precisely detected, though in this case climbing a steep hill might make the sensors think you're on stairs. I hope this clarifies the app's behaviour for you, and I remain available at support@cdf1982.com if you have more questions. Thank you again for using my app and ciao from Italy, Cesare
Great app!
Having this app really motivates me to walk and to carry my phone to count my steps. Next small goal is 4000 daily steps.
Bonus: my husband and my dog walk with me some of the time too so we all are getting more exercise.
I am grateful for this app!

A review as kind as yours is exactly the reason why I developed this app, thank you so very much for taking the time to write it! Keep up the great work and motivation, I'm sure you'll achieve all your goals over time (but be gradual: 10.000 steps is a pretty high number and might take some time to get there, and that's okay). Thank you again -Cesare
