ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Pedometer & Step Counter holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pedometer & Step Counter has 13K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Runbit's written reviews are positive against 74% of Pedometer & Step Counter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Runbit ships an update every 5 days, Pedometer & Step Counter every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
