'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 26. - Health access. - Route tracking using GPS. - World rankings. 《 URL Scheme 》 walkerm7:

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Walker at free with in-app purchases against Steps Tracker's subscription. Steps Tracker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Walker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Steps Tracker sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Walker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.6K and 2.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Walker's written reviews are positive against 69% of Steps Tracker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Walker ships an update every 3 months, Steps Tracker weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
