Fit as logs the workout you actually did but your phone did not record, and writes it into Apple Health. Walking, running or hiking. You enter it the way you measured it — distance and duration, or duration and pace — and the steps and distance go straight into Apple Health. No account. No sign-up. Nothing to connect. WHEN YOU NEED IT • You trained at work or somewhere phones are not allowed • You ran or hiked and left the phone behind • Your watch or tracker died mid-session • You worked out on a treadmill and want it in Health WHAT IT DOES • Log a workout: pick walking, running or hiking • Two ways to enter it: distance + duration, or duration + pace • Writes to Apple Health: steps and distance together • History of everything you have logged • Dark mode HOW TO USE IT 1. Allow Fit as to write to Apple Health 2. Pick the activity and enter what you did 3. It is saved to Health FREQUENTLY ASKED Do I need an account? No. There is no login and no sign-up. Does it work offline? Yes. Logging needs no internet connection. Is it free? Yes. You can log a workout after a short ad, or get PRO to log as many as you like with no ads. Where does it go? Into the Health app built into your iPhone. Any other app that reads Health can read it. Will every app count it? Not necessarily. Some apps only count what their own software recorded and ignore what another app wrote into Health. That is their decision, not a setting in Fit as. Running and hiking too, or only walking? All three. Pace and distance are yours to set, so a run is logged as a run. How soon does it appear? Writing to Health is immediate. Other apps that read Health refresh on their own schedule. For recording activity you really did. Fit as does not measure anything by itself.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Steps at 68% against Fit as's 22%. Steps also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (134K vs 9). Fit as's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Steps sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Fit as sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fit as holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Steps has 134K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Steps's written reviews are positive against 22% of Fit as's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Steps ships an update fortnightly, Fit as every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
