Pedometer Plus 4+

I used to use a Fitbit and was very motivated by tracking my step count. The rings on my watch just did not do it for me. You can view your steps on Apple Watch, but you have to scroll down the screen to find it. I tried other pedometer apps, but they basically just used your phone to track steps. I love that the step count is right on my watch when I look at it. I like that I can set a goal as well. I do not need my phone to use the app. It’s a simple app, but very effective for what I want it for.

Coming from a pixel watch and hated the Apple stock activity tracker, I really like to have a pedometer readout at a glance and with apples built-in complications, it’s not really possible. That’s very cheap complication, does somewhat alleviate the problem however, I really wish that it came with two complication types. The circles with your daily step and weekly step is nice, but I’d much rather have a number read out, integrated into a complication. I’d like to see that added in the future if possible. Just a little, not ugly looking. Number readout for daily step count. The circles this complication currently offers. It’s nice though it looks good and at least now the rings actually are showing my step my steps but I’d still much rather see a number at a glance. Worth the .30 cents though, I’ll pay more if a new version releases with both complication options… sadly most of the other step complications on the use your phone as the to compute steps and that’s not helpful. This one seems to use watch sensors ! Also, all of the other available complications that just have a number read out are pretty ugly, so maybe this developer can make some thing that just looks a little more refined as far as a number readoyt goes their rings look nice.

I REALLY want to love this app. In theory, it does exactly what I need: It provides a steps complication for my Apple Watch.

But the counting is inaccurate. For example, I went out for lunch today, and when I got home, I'd logged about 1,000 steps. Based upon where I had parked and eaten, that seemed correct. Came home, did some laundry, and changed my bed linens—and now it shows 3,360 steps!! There's NO WAY that's accurate!!

Developer, if you can prove that this is the fault of the watch and NOT your app, I'll revise my review. I realize it's a free app—and I'm grateful for that. But it needs to be accurate!! If accuracy costs money, I'll pay. But "free and inaccurate" isn't working for me.
