Simple Step Counter & Widget
Read full descriptionHide full description
A simple step counter with a minimalist design. Its focus on core functionality follows the design principle "Do one thing, and do it well." To satisfy some of the more demanding users, I added a few OPTIONAL features. For example, distance and calories can be turned on and off depending on your needs. By displaying only the essential information in an elegant design, your Home Screen stays clutter-free. Special focus was given to keeping this pedometer lightweight. - Track your activity over the last week, month, or all time and get a graphical overview. - Set a daily step goal. - The app can approximate your walked distance and burned calories. - If you want, it can count cookies too. - Highly configurable widgets.
