Did you know? Steps while walking with a stroller often go uncounted by your Apple Watch. You could be getting up to 60% more steps than you think! Stroller Steps is specifically designed to calculate the steps you take while walking with a stroller, and update your Rings & Apple Health. Trusted by 13,000+ parents across 80+ countries — together we've recovered over 260 million missed steps. Close your rings faster and get a step count you can rely on. How it works:
Your Apple Watch often misses steps when your hands are on the stroller because your wrist isn’t moving. Using data from thousands of stroller walks, Stroller Steps calculates the steps it missed and adds them to Apple Health — so your daily count reflects far more of the walking you actually do. Highlights:
 · Calculates steps during stroller walks
 · Integrates with Apple Health & Rings
 · Quick Start: Easy one-tap tracking on your watch face
 · Distance, time, and heart rate tracking live while walks are in progress
 · Auto End: Detects when your walk ends Designed for parents, caregivers, and anyone with a new baby in their life. Every step counts. Privacy Policy: https://strollersteps.com/privacy-policy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
