Footsteps Pedometer for Negative User Reviews
✓ FootstepsI have been using this app for 2 months and all things are great but the kilometre measure is inaccurate for the distance I walk . Unable to work out how to fix this ... Otherwise easy as to use.....Version: 4.1
✓ FootstepsInsufficient instructions and no reaction to questions.Version: 0
✓ Fun to track walkI got this app to monitor how far I walked each day. The difficult part is setting your pace correctly. It is too bad that you can't also get a map..Version: 6.6
✓ Loses dataAny time you change a setting it deletes all of your data. Makes the app useless. Much better free apps like pacer.Version: 5.2
✓ I like it but...I like this app, it seems to be pretty accurate and I love that it tracks the time I spent walking as well as how many calories I’m burning. However, I’ve noticed that the app doesn’t start counting my steps automatically even when I put it on “always track steps”. I have to first open the app for it to start tracking my steps. With that being said, if I close the app during the day it will stop tracking my steps. So I have to remember to reopen it if I close it. And that’s kind of a hassle. It would be nice if it tracked my steps even if I close it or if I forget to open it. Other than that, I like the app..Version: 8.1
✓ Seriously needs battery saving for iPodGood app to use for jogging as only short time periods but can't use for measuring how far walk throughout day as drains my iPod battery in about an hour flat. This needs to be sorted and would be 5 star. Hope we get an update for this soon! X.Version: 3.5
✓ DFI use this app every day and when I went to use it today the ‘start workout’ button had disappeared. I deleted the app and then reinstalled it. The start workout button is back but needless to say my entire workout history was lost..Version: 11.0
✓ Nice app but some drawbacks...This app works fine as a step counter whilst walking however when running it will struggle to detect steps. I wear my iPhone on an armband when running and it seems that the arm motion confuses the app and it will count less than half of the steps..Version: 0
✓ Auto-pause annoyingThis app would be absolutely great but the auto pause constantly comes on and stops the app. This happens nearly every time I use this app. It would be great if there was a a way I could remove the auto pause or if the app could be fixed..Version: 3.5
✓ MichaelThis app can be unreliable and can stop and start for no apparent reason!.Version: 6.6
✓ HistoryLove keeping track but the history section doesn’t work well. You can’t look back with our the app closing..Version: 10.0
✓ Used to be great but now .....Since the latest update the app doesn't record your whole day's activity. If the phone is put down for a while you need to remember to start the app going again as it goes into pause mode. So frustrating!! Please put it back to how it was - or give an option to record the entire day..Version: 9.1
✓ Not goodDon't bother with app. I was out for 1.20 hours and when I checked the app when I got home it said I walked for 29 min. I might be expecting to much for 99 cents but it would be nice to at least work. I'm just gonna wait for a update and see if they can make this app work better then I would write a better review.Version: 0
✓ GreJust used this app, alongside another app of the same kind, I had been walking for over an hour and it was telling me I had walked for 3 minutes, and my other app told me I had walked over 3 miles yet this app told me I had walked 0.07 which is frustrating, I have went through all the settings and tried to figure out whats wrong but cant figure it out, it is easy to use, if only it worked correctly..Version: 4.1
✓ Switches itself off all the timeRegularly stop counting step and goes into standby mode for no reason. Keep having to RESUME counting, even when screen locked. Totally useless, DO NOT rely on this software..Version: 11.1
✓ Great for beginners only!This app was awesome when I first started walking regularly. I loved that it tracked everything... Speed, distance, time, calories... Everything you want to know when beginning a new walk/run routine. It challenged and motivated me each time to do a little better than the day before. However, after 6 months NOTHING worked quite right. As my routine progressed and I was running as much as walking, NOTHING was tracked accurately! I would walk for 90 min, it would say 65... I would run more than half my routine, it only tracked maybe 30% at best. Even the distance was way off. The longer into my routine, the less and slower it tracked accurately, which was very disappointing since I had grown to rely on tracking my progress. I've updated, deleted, reloaded, etc and nothing seemed to help. Like I said... Great for beginners. Time to move on!.Version: 5.1
✓ Burns Battery very fastGreetings: This App is very good, it works perfectly. But when I do a session for about 1 hour, the app burns battery power very fast. Also the App will not count my steps if I dim the screen, or put my Ipod Touch in sleep mode. Other than that the App is worth the 99cents. Regards Robert.Version: 3.5
✓ Footstep UsageI actually think this app has one of the best designed interfaces. It's very easy to use and great to look at, with all of the essential features in one place. The main drawbacks (touch users) is the the excessive draw on the battery. I recently used it on a 20 mile hike into London only to find it had completely drained my battery. For that reason I would only use this on runs or walks under 1 to 1.5 hours and use the normal mechanical Pedometers for real hikes and marathons.Version: 0
✓ Footsteps AppEvery three or four days this app pauses on its own and doesn’t register all my steps. It is set for auto pause. I check it frequently and it looks like it is working but quits. The health app is always working and registers way more steps. Not happy with this app..Version: 9.0
✓ Not all it's cracked up to be...Great apps are in the little details that make the difference. I have been using the app for 14 days straight. I have walked the same path every day and the numbers don't add up. I understand that I will not walk the exact amount every time but there are a lot of things that don't make sense. Lets start with what works. The timer. The step counter is fairly consistent considering I walk at different paces so the number of steps will be different. Here's where it gets interesting, Distance. Depending on the given day I had walked anywhere from 1.79 miles to 3.2 miles over the same route. The most interesting aspect is the final day of the test I walked the route as fast as I could. I cut 10 minutes off my time but the speed of the walk was slower than any other walk and the average speed was almost half of my regular speed walks. The history aspect is also irritating. Some days the session is saved like you would expect. The date & time of the session. Sometimes the session will save over a 24 hour period from the stop time of the previous session & the start time next session. Hopefully these issues for me can be resolved. Until then I'll be looking for a better app..Version: 0
✓ Battery usageAstronomical battery usage on the iphone7 and current iOS. Normally get 2 days on a charge. With this app running 70% battery was gone in about 6 hours. It works but the battery usage is just ridiculous. Sorry I wasted money on it..Version: 8.1
✓ Feet# of feet in history doesn’t make sense please explain....Version: 9.1
✓ Not workingNot working with IOS 13.Version: 9.2
✓ Less than satisfactoryI just upgraded to the full version yesterday when my free version only went up to 3000 steps. Needless to say my walk was not over yet. I upgraded to the full version and on today's walk I was averaging 3.8 mph because I know how long it takes me to get from one landmark to another and wants to pace I have to keep. Along the way in the "lock mode" the audible pace noise that sets the tempo would cut in and cut out. As I'm walking and looking at this app the MPH was anywhere from 1.9 - 3.9 mph. At the end of my walk which should have been 1.75 miles it told me I had only walked 1.23 miles at 1.9 mph avg. if I try to put my iPhone 5s in my pocket while walking it would stop altogether! I had to carry it in my hand the whole time during my walk and 8°F weather. It's still cut in and out but was a little better. Another feature I think it should have and does not would be the ability to calculate your distance based on the duration of the walk/run and mph you were walking/running as well as sensing if you are ascending or descending hills. If were going to pay for the full version we might as well get our moneys worth..Version: 7.0
✓ Latest update doesn’t workThe latest update doesn’t work. The details are ridiculously inaccurate..Version: 5.0
✓ Needs improvementThe screen is constany flickering on and off, especially when I try to add things to my playlist. I've tried restarting the app and my phone, and it doesn't help. I agree with others that the app needs to count steps throughout the day, even when the user is doing other things, like talking or texting. I would like to track my steps throughout the day; otherwise, what is the point of having a daily vs. manual mode? I do like the display and all the information it contains. I'm not sure how accurate the calorie counter is though-- even after I entered my weight it didn't change, and there's nowhere to enter height and sex, which does factor into calorie burning..Version: 0
✓ Works not as good after updateNot as trustworthy to work right after update . Lost 2 years of data when I updated..Version: 9.1
✓ Rip offBeen using this app for couple years and no record just about anything any miles but now they got cheap now you're only limited to 3000 miles that'll be the last time I ever use this app there are plenty other apps that do the same thing I was a fan but now I'm not thank you and goodbye.Version: 8.1
✓ Not badCould be better, doesn't start first time I turn on my phone in the morning, I shake my phone a couple of times with some result . Also it should save my previous days steps for the next morning , when I open the app. I can check it on a graf. Kind of pain..Version: 7.0
✓ My pedometerTo start with it was very very good, faithfully recorded every step. 152 days and it’s given up. Three dog walks today and I managed it in 25 steps. If that were true my dogs would be looking for a new home.Version: 8.1
✓ New formatI DONT LIKE IT !! I want the old, easy to understand version and this one keeps stopping the count. I want the other version back..Version: 9.1
✓ This app doesn't work? Refund?Charts looks nice BUT the app is so far out of whack with actual walk times they are too inaccurate to worry about, I.e I know I have been walking for 30mins but the app claims I have only been walking for 23mins. I thought the apple App Store was regulated to ensure quality control - obviously not!!.Version: 5.0
✓ Need an update to fix auto-pause bug!Before the latest update, I thought this app was one of my greatest purchases ever! Now, as soon as I lock my phone, the counter stops running and it doesn't track my steps. I should note that this was NOT an issue before I updated. I can't just carry my phone in my purse without auto lock or turn off auto lock.. Please fix this issue!!!!!.Version: 4.5
✓ Does not record distance accuratelyUsed on a 2 mile marked course, app consistently was from .50 to 1.04 mile off on the distance..Version: 8.1
✓ Automatic startThe automatic start feature does not stop and start automatically. I don't always remember to turn it on and it's very frustrating when it doesn't record my steps. I've sent emails to tech-support, but they have not responded. Has anybody else had this problem, and how did you resolve it?.Version: 9.1
✓ Not too accurateGood app but the counter is not so accurate.Version: 11.0
✓ Has great potentialI really want to love this app. It has all of the features I need for my walking workouts. Unfortunately, not all of the settings can be saved. For instance, I have to set my step length every time I use the app. It does not save the setting. Very disappointing for an otherwise great app. I've tried contacting the developer through feedback but there has been no reply..Version: 7.0
✓ On the edge of brillianceThis app would have it all - great presentation, incorporated music player function, speed of steps recorded, distance covered (tailored to your individual step distance) and wether you were running or walking. However, it fails in its basic role as a pedometer because it records hand movements if the iPhone as steps thus giving highly inaccurate distances and steps taken info (especially if, like me, you leave the pedometer running all day to see what you do). If they put this right they have the best package out there for pedometer apps.Version: 4.5
✓ Bit of a let downTried the free version which seemed OK then it cut out at 3000 steps. No mention of that before. I purchased the upgrade only to be told that I can't transfer the data to it from the free version as the paid one is out of date! As I've only just installed the paid one and there isn't an upgrade what's going on. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come with what appears to be a reasonable App???.Version: 7.0
✓ My walksLove it. I use it almost every day since buying it . I have told and showed them all about foot steps . Makes me walk more often and gives me a goal!!.Version: 8.1
✓ Great until it frozeI was really impressed with all the features but after a few week it stopped working altogether.Version: 3.5
✓ Pause SettingsOne of the problems with this app is every time it is updated it gets worse. The current version keeps going into auto pause despite my taking it off auto pause..Version: 9.1
✓ Unlocking problemThis app is annoying in that it has started to automatically unlock itself every night therefore won't record activity automatically the next day. It must be manually reset and licked each day..Version: 5.2
✓ Don't waste your money.....I purchased this app for the calories burned.....but it doesn't sync with my Apple Watch!.Version: 8.1
✓ No customer support responseI have been using this app for almost two years. Recently, after the most recent update, an issue has cropped up where the step counter runs backwards when I start to walk after a pause, losing as many as 150 steps. That's tough. I emailed technical support to no avail. They have not replied at all to my request for help. There are many other apps out there, e.g., Walker, Argus, etc. Save your money. Will you please update your app? It frequently quits or functions erratically. I am using iOS 11.3, iPhone 6 +.Version: 8.1
✓ StepsApp not counting steps properly , giving wrong speed and steps per minute not happy with this.Version: 11.0
✓ Not as good as I thought it would beI had my phone down my bra and it only recorded ⅓ of what I did. Not very good if you have to have it in your hand. Also I looked at it and quite a few times it had stopped. Not sure why..Version: 5.2
✓ ERROR !I get this write message every time: “Import Data Problem In order to import the sessions you have to bring the lite version up to date first. Please go to App Store and update Footsteps Lite.” ZERO support from developer. I never had lite, and downloading it does not help. Background: I used another app which stored all pedometer data in the Apple HEALTH app. I “upgraded” to Footsteps, expecting those records to import so I would have a full, complete history. But no. Fail. The app just asks for the lite version and then chokes..Version: 9.1
✓ DissapointedDisappointed as I am getting complete different reading with the same walk that I do every day?.Version: 5.2
✓ Absolute RubbishI have 2 similar apps. This one and Moves. At the end of the day, this one shows less than 1,000 steps and Moves shows many 000's..Version: 4.1
✓ Akin to a needy child, or a bad employee.I don’t know when this happened, but this is now a needy child app. I used to view this as a set it and forget it app. In the past, I would randomly open the app to see how many steps I’d taken, and do you know what? It’d tell me. Now, if I don’t open for a couple of days, it LITERALLY HAS POUT AND STOPS COUNTING. I really don’t want to have to be paying this much attention. It’s supposed to be counting my steps. I shouldn’t have to be remembering to open it to get it to do that. Needy children, and bad employees need watching. Apps that count your steps, not so much, and I can’t believe that I’m having to stand over it..Version: 11.1
✓ No goodRandomly decides not to auto start, you lose whole days of steps😕.Version: 7.0
✓ Love the app but...It's easy to use but it is showing incorrect data for number of steps and time elapsed. I have checked FAQs and my settings. Please help. Thank you in advance..Version: 12.1
✓ LyndsayBeen using this App for a year now on my iphone and it's really easy to use and is a great pedometer.. However, occasionally it doesn't record my run especially if I get a call or email on my phone which is really frustrating and a big let down but apart from this it's good.. Also it would be good if it could be used with the radio on your phone as well as my ipod.. Please fix the glitch!!.. L.Version: 3.5
✓ Nice layout, but poor performanceDoes not accurately monitor time, or other factors..Version: 5.0
✓ Super app! Really i love it . Multiple options for using .This is one of the gee apps that met my agenda. Some features include- Sound alert Accurate readings 5 star! 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠.Version: 9.3
✓ InaccurateBetter than some but still inaccurate. Today it says I've walked 5000 steps when I've actually ran for 5k walked over 10k. Some days it says 0 when I've been at work on a 12hr shift as a nurse, clearly I've moved, even if just to walk from my car. When the battery runs flat and you recharge the phone and turn it back on the app resets itself. Terrible really and I wouldn't recommend it..Version: 5.0
✓ Where the Hell is the PriceI can't see anyone downloading this without knowing the price. So what the hell is the price for this previously free app?.Version: 8.1
✓ Doesn't workAs advertised the app continues to work when it's not open. It doesn't do that for me making it useless and a waste of 99cents.Version: 0
