A simple, free step counter. No ads, no account, and nothing leaves your phone. Open it and it counts. Today's steps, big and easy to read. WHAT YOU GET • Today's steps, large and clear, in light or dark • Your week at a glance, with a daily average • A goal if you want one: a ring around the number fills as you walk • Calories and distance if you want them: enter your weight, and optionally your height. The calories shown are the extra from your steps only, never an inflated whole-day figure • Your pace while you walk • An option to keep the screen on while you walk WHAT YOU DO NOT GET • No ads. Not now, not later. There is no paid version, because there is nothing to remove • No account, no e-mail, no password • No tracking and no analytics. The app never connects to the internet • No sounds, no confetti, no nagging HOW IT COUNTS Your iPhone counts your steps all day on its own motion chip. Pedometer reads that number and shows it, so it uses no battery beyond the screen and needs nothing running in the background. ONE PERMISSION Motion & Fitness, which lets the app read the iPhone's step count. Nothing else. Your history stays on your phone and follows your phone's own backup. Made by Tentmaker Sweden.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pedometer.se at none against StepBattle's 1. StepBattle's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
