ActivityTracker Pedometer 4+

The best!

So positive and encouraging! I’ve used many pedometer apps over the years, finally landing on this one, but set it aside when I got my Apple Watch a few years ago. Rehabbing from three spinal fusions in the last two years, my PT encouraged me to track my steps — not just a daily goal, but a weekly one too. I remembered this app’s option to a) not lose a streak if one day was missed and b) set a weekly goal. It’s perfect for where I’m at: prioritizing my weekly goal means I can fall short of my daily goal once (or even twice) a week and still feel successful and proud of my progress (rather than like a failure for missing one day).

I appreciate how easy it is to see my complete history, going back over 10 years. I can track the months and years that I walked more/less and what was going on in my life/health. One unexpected insight I gleaned upon returning to this app is how drastically my step count dropped when I started serious weightlifting. As a personal trainer, I know that our bodies are built to ambulate. Apple Watch is less geared toward tracking steps as much as it is tracking activity. I want and need to track both for balanced and healthy mobility and functional fitness.

Right mow, I’m walking far more than I would without this app and have no plans to stop using it, even once my rehab is complete. Thank you!!

What else do you need?

Great data collection, easy to see all KPis on a daily, weekly, monthly basis so as we all know we go through different stretches. This is just one tool to use to make sure you are recognizing not only day to day activity but long term can help spot signs of valleys and peaks. If the valley is too low, find something you want and then use this one click tool to make sure you reach the peak. No need to not try and maintain that peak level again but as long as you avoid and valley for more than one day. Long term you can use this tool to truly measure progress on the pursuit of happiness!

No really though, easy download give the thought process a try the first time you use it!

Thank you very much for your feedback. Keep up the good work!

Incorrect mileage counts

Now we walk 9 miles a day and I’ve had to “ tweak “ the step length several times. It just starts tracking fairly well then it will lose a mile or more on the same trails we do every morning. So even implementing your suggested “ fix” does not work all that well. As stated in original rating below it barely counts the back now 2 miles of trails and there is a very strong cell signal there so that’s not it either. I would have to take the step length up to 48 or so get a reading so I’ll just “ guesstimate “ until I find more accurate system. I’m so sorry I paid $4 for this app! I walk pretty much the same 3.7 mile walk every morning with my dog. The only time it varies is when we add the last part of trails on so more steps NOT FEWER! Every 2-4 days this app screws me out of 1-2 miles! Since it’s pretty much same morning walk I don’t get it! Even parked my car at last part that it NEVER counts more than .3 miles and started walking 1.2 miles by its self! Did that walk today with regular walk all it registered was 2.7 miles! Looking for more accurate app. Need CORRECT info for ortho doc. Reply to developers: I already tried the custom step settings. This app seems to have MAJOR issues with any type of non flat terrain.

Thank you for using ActivityTracker. Please note that ActivityTracker tries to estimate your Step Length from your Height (set in Settings > User Profile). But you can also set a custom Step Length (in Settings > User Profile) so that it matches your distance. Please let me know if this solves your problem.
