ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Stepwise Pedometer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stepwise Pedometer has 3.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Stepwise Pedometer's written reviews are positive against 95% of Pedometer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Stepwise Pedometer ships an update every 2 months, Pedometer every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
