Available on the iPhone and Apple Watch, Pedometer++ is the best way to review your step count, walking distance, active calories, and heart rate data. Set a custom step count goal and track your progress over time. The built-in graphs make reviewing your data easy and fun. Everyone loves awards, and Pedometer++ includes a range of Badges to motivate and reward your hard work! The app also totals how far you’ve walked each day, and even counts the flights of stairs you encounter each day. With full-featured widget support, Pedometer++ can display your step count or update you on your daily progress right from your iPhone's lock screen or home screen. You can also share your workouts with others and view trends over time. The Apple Watch app puts all this data on your wrist. With a wide range of Complications, it’s easy to check your progress with just a glance. Add a single Complication to your daily watch face, or add several to build a comprehensive fitness-focused look! DETAILS: For best results, keep your iPhone on you as you move throughout the day, ideally in a pocket close to your hips. If you have an Apple Watch, you can set Pedometer++ to sync step data across your devices for the most accurate data possible. The Apple Watch app can also start and track indoor and outdoor walking and running workouts and can serve as your guide while hiking. ROUTES & MAPPING: Pedometer++ is your ultimate companion for exploring the great outdoors. It allows you to import GPX files for waypoints and routes set by others. You can also use the app to create your own routes. Simply tap on your desired start and end points, and Pedometer++ will find the shortest route between them. You can then tweak the route based on terrain, trail popularity, or personal preference. Pedometer++ shows the distance of a route, the elevation changes you will encounter, and the estimated time it will take you to reach your destination. You can also monitor the weather that is expected along your route. The best part is that custom routing is available on the iPhone and Apple Watch. Of course, being out in nature often means losing cell service, so Pedometer++ allows you to download offline map data for large areas, not just for your specific route. Offline map data is also available on the iPhone and Apple Watch, as long as your Watch is within range of your phone. NOTES: Pedometer++ integrates with the Apple Health app to collect and display step data collected by your Apple Watch. Pedometer++ includes an optional premium subscription. This is offered on a monthly or annual basis. If you choose to purchase a subscription, your payment will be charged to your iTunes account. Subscriptions automatically renew unless canceled within 24 hours before the end of the current period. After purchase, you can turn off auto-renewal anytime by going to your Account Settings on the App Store. Access to iPhone-based workout tracking is only available to Pedometer++ Premium subscribers.

APPLE WORKOUTS TRACKS YOUR ACTIVITY. NUDGE KEEPS YOU MOVING. Nudge is the Apple Watch companion that turns your daily step goal into a simple countdown. See exactly how many steps you have left, how long they’ll take, and whether you’re on pace to finish by your chosen time. Keep using Apple Workouts for your walks, runs, and workouts. Nudge adds the planning, motivation, and gentle reminders that help you build the habit of moving every day. Built for iPhone and Apple Watch, Nudge works with Apple Health to turn your daily step count into practical guidance you can use throughout the day. WHY PEOPLE LOVE NUDGE • Count down the exact number of steps you have left today • See how many walking minutes remain to reach your goal • Know whether you’re ahead, behind, or on pace • Set a daily goal and a “Finish By” time that fits your schedule • Review your daily and weekly progress to build lasting habits • Estimate calories burned from your walking activity • Receive optional reminders that help you stay on track • Celebrate when you reach your daily goal DESIGNED FOR APPLE WATCH Nudge was designed around the Apple Watch experience. Instead of opening your watch to rings, percentages, or complicated metrics, you see the one number that matters most: Steps Left Today. Swipe through simple views to check your countdown, review your progress, start a guided walk, or adjust your settings. Whether you have 800 steps or 8,000 remaining, Nudge helps you understand exactly what it will take to finish your day successfully. YOUR DAILY WALKING PLAN Big step goals can feel overwhelming. Nudge breaks them into something manageable. Based on your remaining steps, walking pace, and Finish By time, Nudge estimates how much walking you still need and suggests practical walk sessions to help you stay on track. One glance tells you whether you can finish with a quick walk now or whether it’s time for a catch-up walk before the day gets away from you. CONSISTENCY MATTERS MORE THAN INTENSITY Fitness isn’t about the occasional perfect workout. It’s about building the habit of moving every day. Review your daily and weekly history to see your progress, goal streaks, walking calories, and the days you reached your target. Small wins add up, and Nudge helps you see that progress over time. OPTIONAL REMINDERS Stay on track with helpful reminders throughout the day, including: • Morning briefings • Progress updates • Walk suggestions • Goal celebrations You’re always in control. Adjust reminder frequency, walking pace, Finish By time, and daily goals to match your routine. APPLE WATCH COMPLICATIONS Keep your progress visible throughout the day. Add Nudge complications to your favorite Apple Watch face and see your remaining steps, progress, or countdown with a quick glance, without opening the app. ONE WALK AT A TIME Whether your goal is 3,000 steps or 10,000, Nudge makes daily movement simple, visible, and achievable. Know exactly what’s left, take the next step, and build a habit that lasts. Nudge uses Apple Health, with your permission, to read step data. Calorie estimates and step recommendations are provided for general wellness purposes only and are not intended as medical advice.
