Pedometer Plus 4+

This has been my go-to app for more than a year. In the last week an update that it removed one of the things that I had loved. Now, it only shows the day’s steps and overall trends, whereas before there were three screens that also showed the past week’s performance and accumulation. I really loved that function and now it seems to have disappeared. I paid for the Plus version of this app and am not sure what has happened.

Coming from a pixel watch and hated the Apple stock activity tracker, I really like to have a pedometer readout at a glance and with apples built-in complications, it’s not really possible. That’s very cheap complication, does somewhat alleviate the problem however, I really wish that it came with two complication types. The circles with your daily step and weekly step is nice, but I’d much rather have a number read out, integrated into a complication. I’d like to see that added in the future if possible. Just a little, not ugly looking. Number readout for daily step count. The circles this complication currently offers. It’s nice though it looks good and at least now the rings actually are showing my step my steps but I’d still much rather see a number at a glance. Worth the .30 cents though, I’ll pay more if a new version releases with both complication options… sadly most of the other step complications on the use your phone as the to compute steps and that’s not helpful. This one seems to use watch sensors ! Also, all of the other available complications that just have a number read out are pretty ugly, so maybe this developer can make some thing that just looks a little more refined as far as a number readoyt goes their rings look nice.

I used to use a Fitbit and was very motivated by tracking my step count. The rings on my watch just did not do it for me. You can view your steps on Apple Watch, but you have to scroll down the screen to find it. I tried other pedometer apps, but they basically just used your phone to track steps. I love that the step count is right on my watch when I look at it. I like that I can set a goal as well. I do not need my phone to use the app. It’s a simple app, but very effective for what I want it for.
