ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Walker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Walker has 425 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Walker's written reviews are positive against 82% of The Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Walker ships an update every 2 weeks, The Pedometer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
