Stepminder averages your recent steps and distance, smoothing out day-to-day variations. The default 7-day weighted average gives the most weight to steps today (¼ of the total), and the least weight to steps six days ago (1/28 of the total). Change the averaging period, or choose an unweighted average (that is, each day has the same weight). An unweighted average of 7-28 days, for example, is useful if you do most of your walking on weekends. Visually track your progress toward your goal through the day. Or turn off goal orientation and just see how much you walk. Stepminder integrates with the Health app, using it as its source of past step counts and walking & running distances.
