ActivityTracker Pedometer Reviews

by Jtrudo69

I bought ActivityTrackerPedometer hoping it would track my steps as I was running. I’ve been using Fitbit and the Fitbit tracks steps immediately as steps are taken . I’ve had this thing on all day and it hasn’t tracked a single step. I followed all the instructions to get it to work including the sync data and privacy and it does nothing. Save your money and don’t buy ActivityTrackerPedometer.

Update. I restarted my Apple Watch and the steps finally updated. However it looks like every time I want the steps to update I have to either restart the watch or wait a half hour. Absolutely ridiculous. I download pedometer ++ for free and it works and updates just fine. I lost some money on this piece of junk app. Be sure you don’t do the same. These developers should be ashamed of themselves.

My watch is ALWAYS on, my phone is in my leg pocket on my workout pants... assuming your user is ‘dumb’ well, now I wish I could give you ZERO stars. Also, I shouldn’t have to ‘adjust’ my step length, considering a fitbit or another walking app doesn’t require anything but keeping your watch on. And ‘ I don’t walk much doing chores’ ?!?! Excuse you??? So, you know the layout of my house, how many sq. Feet it is and what exactly I do? Again... RUDE!

I wanted to like ActivityTrackerPedometer, really I did, but... I just ran 6 miles and it only accounted for 3.6. That to me is a fail. I’ve been noticing that when I’m in my house walking around and doing chores it doesn’t even account for those. So, I give one star & deleting app. Not worth it. —

I bought ActivityTracker "Pro" for Apple Watch in order to use the complication to display steps. After paying for Pro and unlocking it, the complication still says "UPGRADE TO PRO".
Further, the step count on the phone often doesn't match the step count in the Apple Health app or even the ActivityTracker PHONE app! I've tested this with the "Sync Watch & Health" turned on and turned off. The phone app always matches with Apple Health, but the watch only matches sometimes. The counts on the watch go up and down like crazy! I have requested Apple for a refund. I will be trying out other apps.

EDIT: I tried the steps the developer mentioned, but it still doesn't work. There's another app that costs half as much and works wonderfully on the Apple Watch. I have now switched to that and requested a refund for this one.

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 ActivityTrackerPedometer!
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 ActivityTrackerPedometer 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.
ActivityTrackerPedometer seems to have MAJOR issues with any type of non flat terrain.

ActivityTrackerPedometer looks great and gives a nice history, but fails to count steps if you don’t walk very far. I vacuumed the house to the tune of 0 additional steps. Also, I paid for the pro version because I thought it would sync with my watch, a Fit Bit Blaze. Apparently, you need an Apple Watch for sync to be effective 😐. Overall, if you never set your phone down and walk away from it AND you walk far enough for ActivityTrackerPedometer to recognize your effort to create a greater step count, you’ll enjoy ActivityTrackerPedometer. It knows exactly when I get in bed and when I get out of bed, assuming I picked up the phone when I woke. There were instances of 13 hours of sleep counted on days that I didn’t use my phone as an alarm and went about my day. It’s not perfect, but ActivityTrackerPedometer has a lot of promise with just a few glitches to muddle through.

** I tried emailing support but it will not work. When you hit send on the support webpage, it turns yellow and does nothing. I am forced to leave a review as my only form of contact. **

I am a PRO user and enjoy ActivityTrackerPedometer . I have been getting odd notifications from ActivityTrackerPedometer recently. In the morning I get notifications that I am halfway to my goal while eating breakfast. My goal is 7500 per day and I probably have about 500 at this point. I just received a notification that I have met and even exceeded my goal. Again, my goal is 7500 and I am currently at 5500. This has been happening the last week or so. I have the most current version on my devices. iPhone 13, Apple Watch 7. Any idea how to fix this?

Once this is resolved I will change my review.

ActivityTrackerPedometer is great and all, but I’ve noticed that if you walk 6 steps, and go back into ActivityTrackerPedometer , it won’t change the number. It’s like you need to do 50 steps for it to realize that it needs to change. So basically, it’s not real accurate. I also notice that it has changed the number of calories and minutes. So I was checking ActivityTrackerPedometer , and there was a certain number of calories and minutes. Then I checked back on ActivityTrackerPedometer , and the calories and minutes were at a lower number. This doesn’t make sense, seeing how the number can either stay the same or be larger. It literally does not make sense for the calories and minutes to go backwards, seeing how that’s close to impossible. So ActivityTrackerPedometer can be taken as an estimate for how much exercise you have done, but it’s not to great for the accurate exercise amount in my book.

I like ActivityTrackerPedometer design and everything and I don’t know if this is ActivityTrackerPedometer ’s fault or my phones fault. I have noticed it is really not accurate.. like at all. Today for instance, I went for a 3 mile jog and I know for a fact it was 3 miles because it was around a track. My phone was kept in a tight fitting jogging Fanny pack around my waist the whole time. When I got home to check ActivityTrackerPedometer it said I have about 5,000 steps and have walked 2.3 miles. I know I ran 3 and I was walking around a bunch before my jog too so it should be even higher. This has happened more than a few times now. So something is either off with my phone or off with ActivityTrackerPedometer . Not sure which one.

by Patch196

Love the simplicity of the tracker and it’s got me paying attention to how much I walk per day and Making sure I reach my goal , which brings me to why I only gave it 4 stars. Everything is set on my iPhone and Apple watch but they don’t always sync and when they do ActivityTrackerPedometer takes the lower steps. The other day I had 3,340 steps on my iPhone but the watch had 2,958 when they finally synced the phone also said 2958. If there is a delay in syncing I can deal with that but I would like it if would take the correct step count.

I like ActivityTrackerPedometer, I really do. Have been using it for a long time on my iPhone. Recently I’ve got an Apple Watch so I purchased a Pro version to see all the numbers on the screen.
A few days ago I came across a funny app glitch: despite the lesser amount of steps I walked - the final number just got much bigger. After going over changes of my daily activity I came to a funny conclusion - ActivityTrackerPedometer recognizes hands’ movements while KNITTING as steps. Thus I gained around 1,000 daily extra steps just for knitting a hat!
Hope the developers will be able to fix this flaw.

Ever since Stepz forced their most recent upgrade on everyone and it lost 3 years of my past data with it (and reimported it highly-inflated from Health app), I have been looking for a better replacement.

So far this has been solid and the best option. I like the design of the widget, and overall ActivityTrackerPedometer works really well. A bit slow to report new steps to the widget or badge icon, but does catch up.

Two minor annoyances:
1) I wish there was a toggle setting to turn off all of the animations. Kind of annoying to have to wait for the big circle to fill in to see your steps for the day—especially if you just want to look at quickly, and do it multiple times a day. It is cool the first 10x, but gets old quick. Give me the option to just show the numbers, especially when scrolling in your history.

2) Wish there was a roll-up for a monthly and annual steps/distance. Nice to look back and compare year over year totals.

I’ve been using ActivityTrackerPedometer for a few weeks now, and I absolutely love it. There’s only one problem, which seems very minor in my opinion, but still can pose an annoyance.

The problem is, it does not not take into account the total amount of floors climbed. I live in a house with two staircases, one that leads to a higher floor and another that leads to a lower floor, in between both staircases is the front door. And from my mental remembrance, I’ve walked at most six times on them in the last week, however it counts no amount.

Additionally, the calories, I go on a NordicTrack treadmill in my house and when I take note of how many calories were burned, I also check on ActivityTrackerPedometer to see if it corresponds. However, it doesn’t even seem to count half the amount of calories burned.

As a result, for these bits of information, I’ve taken out a half-star for each one, leaving 4 out of 5 stars. This is a good and very useful app, one that I absolutely love, however, it needs some slight fixing. The steps and tracked minutes of walking seem satisfactory, despite the slightly difference in walking; 50 steps and no change has been monitored, however, walking 50 more steps at a greater than the previous one adds in those steps. I sincerely hope this criticism helps the devs with fixing the problems I’ve encountered.

Below is a previous technical issue which the developer fixed. Hoping there's a fix to this one too!

I've been using ActivityTrackerPedometer for a couple months now with good results, but more recently have been finding that on and off it doesn't count my flights. I just walked up 6 flights of stairs and it says 0. My phone is on low power mode but I don't think that should make a difference. Hoping for a fix! Thanks.

Past issue:
I am having the same issue as others. I just downloaded & installed it, enabled everything. It sits there with the logo in the background as an open app but when I actually open it it just closes away back to the background. Tried reinstalling. Hope it gets fixed so I can use it!

Update: Thanks to the developer for a prompt response! I had already tried that but did it again and now it works! Yay! If you're someone who had the same problem, try deleting and reinstalling and it may now actually work.

I ditched my Fitbit and have been using this tracker for several months now. I’ve been happy with it until the latest update. It’s harder for older eyes to read, and I really really really miss that it no longer shows me the percentage of my goal. I guess this information is available on a graph, but it’s tiny and difficult to decipher. Please restore that feature. I found it very motivating when I looked at that number.

UPDATE: I’m still using and enjoying ActivityTrackerPedometer (paying for PRO), but since the last update it is no longer giving me credit for reaching the daily step goal. I have exceeded the goal everyday this week (Sun-Fri), but it has only given me credit for 4days.

by Kstnay

After the developers touched base with me twice after I gave feedback, they have reverted ActivityTrackerPedometer back to the lovely way it kept track of things before! I love the interface and had switched to a different app that I didn’t like as well (but at least it was accurate), but now I’m back to using this one, as it now appears to be working properly. Note: I do not use an Apple Watch. Thanks to the developers who actually listen! I also emailed a query to ask how to get my small widget back, but I did get that figured out already, so no need to respond. A+ for your efforts!

by Skitter1950

Excellent app and it was easy to get counter calibrated to count my steps with great accuracy. BUT, if I do not open ActivityTrackerPedometer DURING a given day that day(s) history will be recorded as zero steps. At least that’s what I have concluded. So be sure you open ActivityTrackerPedometer at least once every day if you want a “look back” history.
Update: I contacted app and they responded NEXT DAY ! App needs to be opened at least once per week to import Apple Health data. If you go more than seven days just go to profile settings and select import data from Apple health and zero-step days will be updated. Worked like a charm.

by Michael@PA

ActivityTrackerPedometer is more accurate than the Apple health app that came with my iPhone. It records steps and distance instantly. I am very pleased with it.
I have just two issues. ActivityTrackerPedometer doesn’t allow for manual additions, (the one advantage of the Apple health app), which is needed to account for activity when you are not carrying the phone. Secondly, for some reason it sometimes does not record the stairs from my basement to the first floor and sometimes it does.
However, in summary, I have tried several activity apps and this one is the best!!

by Mcdivots

I like that ActivityTrackerPedometer does not lie to you about how many Calories you have burned with your steps. Most of the others vastly overstate that, and this seems to be much more realistic. It was very easy to enter my information and get it ready to go. It seems to capture the steps very well, and I like the Apple Watch functionality. My only issue, and the reason I did four and not five stars is how long it takes to update your step count. Sometimes it is 5-10 minutes before it all shows up, and it takes a while to show up on the watch correctly. But in the end I recommend this application

by Assfjkl1234

Very useful application. I had major back surgery a short time ago and need to walk about 250 steps per hour during the day. ActivityTrackerPedometer is quite helpful in tracking my steps. Occasionally the steps do not register on my step counter. It would be great if I could add the steps the application misses for one reason of the other. Otherwise, this is a colorful, easy to read and well thought thru step counter.

I’ve tested the mileage tracking repeatedly, and it is always spot on. I use the auto feature for step length, too, so there was no tedious stride measure and calibrating.

Two things I would change: 1) When I check my mileage, I often have to X out of the hourly and weekly activity tracker, and I usually have to tap the X several times. I just want to check my mileage and keep moving. 2) I would love a reset option. I’d like to keep my everyday mileage separate from my workout mileage.

by DH2009

First I did contact support via email and received no response. Paid pro version. Sync is on for watch and health. Background app refresh on. Phone often shows one count and watch shows another. Watch won’t refresh count until you tap and open it on watch. Then it will show that one till you open it again and refresh. On phone when you go from one day to next, the previous day count still shows in badge till you open it and it refreshes to new day. For the watch issue I see suggestion to turn off sync and real-time count will show on watch. But then it won’t sync! How dumb is that. Don’t buy.

by ScratchDiver

I purchased ActivityTrackerPedometer and paid to unlock pro features for more money but it does not display stairs climbed on the Apple Watch, only shows them in the phone app. If stairs climbed is added to the Watch display I would increase my rating to 5 stars.

Update with response to developer:
Yes even though the phone is doing the stair counting, I would still want to see this data on the watch as it’s much more convenient to see at a glance rather than taking phone out of pocket etc.
Adding one star for quick developer response

I checked it with some other trackers running at the same time and all were coming up with the same number of steps so I guess it's accurate. I like that it shows the last number of steps on the outside of icon but it would be better if it kept a running total on the outside of the icon. Sometimes I forget to check before it changes over to the next day so I don't know my total for this day. I like to keep track of my steps in MyNetDiary app.

by Late Milkman

Not just as an exorcise monitor. It's amazing how much time and effort I save by doing my job more efficiently. By checking ActivityTrackerPedometer after each change in my daily routine, I can see what works best. I work as an HVAC tech and spend several hours of each day walking on top of commercial buildings. I've cut my average down from eleven miles to under nine. Twenty flights of stairs down to sixteen. At 66 years old, these knees only have a few steps left.

by Waynep207

I love the Activity Tracker app. It shows all the info I’m looking for for my progress. I would and recommend it to everyone.

I would like to see an option to change or update the data. In a future update for this reason. I deleted some data from my iPhone by myself stake. That I would like in Activity Tracker that I don’t know how to get back.

I did write them down so have info just don’t see where I can add it into Activity Tracker.

In striving to reach any goal tracking your progress quickly and easily is essential. If this can be accomplished in conjunction with appealing graphics, so much the better. ActivityTrackerPedometer has such appealing graphics it’s really fun to use! I’ve used it for only a few days but it makes staying on track almost like a game and I find myself actually looking forward to adding more strides to my day in an effort to reach my goal. A+++++

Got an Apple Watch to replace my Garmin Vivosmart HR. I’m used to really keeping track of my steps, and Apple’s Activities app just didn’t show the data the way I wanted and was used to. ActivityTracker gives me exactly what I am used to from the Garmin app, but with better graphics and more flexible parameters. It’s worth the $4.99 one-time fee (hooray - no subscription!) to integrate it fully with the Apple Watch. Very happy with ActivityTrackerPedometer - recommend it wholeheartedly!

by Peloquin1981

So ActivityTrackerPedometer seems to work fine on the phone, but ActivityTrackerPedometer barely seems to work on the Apple Watch. Step counts and info are not being updated in the watch, and the complications do not seem to work at all for some reason.

*Update* app suddenly started working on the watch and now I’ll continue to use to see how I feel about it in a few weeks.

by Tech-lessdad

Ap is pretty good overall. In the history portion of the Ap the steps walked on a certain day fluctuate. To explain this I’ll give an example... say the Ap says on Wednesday that I walked over 11,000 steps. When I look at the history on Friday it may show I only walked 10,200 steps. Not sure why it does this but it explains my rating of 4 stars instead of 5.
