About this app

Lightweight pedometer app using the hardware step-sensor for minimal battery consumption.
This app is designed to be running all the time without having any impact on your battery life! It uses the hardware step detection sensor of devices like the Nexus 5, which is already running even when not using any pedometer app. Therefore the app does not consume any additional battery drain. Unlike other pedometer apps, this app does not track your movement or your location so it doesn't need to turn on your GPS sensor (again: no impact on your battery).

Ratings and reviews

Simple, lite, does exactly what it says it will, and without ads. It's not the most accurate, I'll drive for three hours and be told I've done 4k steps, but overall the app is quite useful if you don't want to buy one of those fit watches. Shame it only measures steps, and not distance as well, but that's totally okay. For what it is, it's a recommend.

Good little app that seems to be reasonably accurate. Suddenly started showing 55000 steps daily. Had to uninstall and reinstall. Seems to have fixed the problem but all the averages have gone. Not a problem for me but could be for someone else. Update 6/2 /23. Definitely a bug somewhere. Yesterday the phone restarted and the app showed 119400 steps all day.

I really like this app. Simple, uncluttered,does what I want and doesn't get in the way. But on Friday it recorded 63k steps. Now, I was traveling that day (UK to Norway including two ferries) but I've done that twice before without it counting such a high number. I'm not concerned, just curious about the mechanism.
