StepTracker — the walking you already do, worth looking at. StepTracker turns the steps Apple Health already tracks into a daily habit worth checking — records, streaks, and patterns from data you're already generating, on your phone and nowhere else. SEE TODAY AT A GLANCE Your ring animates up the moment you open the app. A daily card tells a different story depending on when you check — yesterday's story in the morning, your pace to goal at midday, how close you are to a personal best by evening. EVERY WALK, TRACKED LIVE Start a live walk and watch your count in real time — on the Lock Screen, in the Dynamic Island, and on your Apple Watch. It ends itself if you forget, and nothing is ever written back to Health. WIDGETS AND A WATCH APP Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets show your ring and count without opening the app. Complications do the same on your wrist, plus a dedicated watch app for your ring, streak, and goal. RECORDS THAT MEAN SOMETHING Personal bests, streaks, and a weekday fingerprint that shows when you actually move. Chase themed journeys — from New York City to the Idaho wilderness to the Pacific Northwest — each one turning distance into a badge collection. 30+ METRICS, ONE PLACE Steps, distance, stairs, walking speed, cadence, and more — each with its own history and chart. COMPLETELY PRIVATE Every calculation happens on your device. No account, no server, no ads. Your health data is never sent anywhere — not even to us. FREE TO TRY StepTracker is free to download and free to use for 7 days. After that, continue with a subscription — monthly, yearly (with its own free trial), or a one-time lifetime purchase. Prices shown in USD and may vary by region. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed or cancelled anytime in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StepTracker at none against Pedometer's 3. StepTracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). Pedometer's advantage is ratings volume (939 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
