About this app

Walkroid - simple pedometer - displays your today's steps and distance. It also has trip meters so that you can measure distance between any two points by walk or steps each walking.
In addition to the normal application, widget is available.

Ratings and reviews

Inaccurate. I'll walk the same path and each lap I do it will tell me I've walked a vastly different distance. Yesterday it said my first lap was 1.02 miles, the second lap (exact same path) was 1.5 miles. The app also randomly closes. I've gone for walks only to discover the app had closed and didn't register anything. I'm just going to upgrade to an old fashioned hip worn pedometer so I can stop guessing how far I've actually walked.

I have used this app for years with no issues. In the last month or two, it has a bug. It will end a day normally but wont start the next day. The numbers are orange, which is correct, but it wont record steps till I hit the stop button, then the start. I have contacted the developers by email.
