'Walker - Pedometer' is a simple and power saving pedometer app using the motion co-processor. In addition to managing data such as the number of steps during walking or running, calories burned etc. It also enables record management of the body weight, body fat, and blood pressure and I also recommend it for managing weight loss and health. Have more fun with walking and running! ※ If you use the route tracking and continue use of GPS running in the background will be to dramatically decrease battery life. If you using GPS for a long time or you not using an external battery, make sure to keep track of the remaining charge. 《 Functions / Features 》 - Compatible with iOS 27. - Health access. - Route tracking using GPS. - World rankings. 《 URL Scheme 》 walkerm7:
