ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedometer has 939 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Steps, The Pedometer App's written reviews are positive against 84% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
