*Due to device and OS compatibility issues with running the accelerometer in the background, this app will only work on OS 4.0 and above.
Had an update couple days ago, now it wont work properly, it constantly trying to load then gives message, There was an error retrieving , please try later. Also the second time it has deleted my main total. Good idea if it worked properly.
All my data is gone since the update. I can not get logged back in. When I choose the Forgot Password option after all other attempts, I get the message "Sorry there was an issue. Please try again" which is not the same as the "we don't have that email address...." message. So I know I'm using the correct email, the app won't send anything for password reset to try to get back into my account. I hate that my company chose this app for their challenge!
I don't know when it was changed but the update has added a lot of useless features and it doesn't fix bugs that have been around for years.
Seems to count steps ok, although would be better if it could sync with other apps such as map my fitness
Such a creepy app. Eat lots of memory and bandwidth also screw up your battery.
It does what it says it will do, its working great too.
Very accurate except for because I walk at a faster pace than normal (4km an hour) its telling me im running rather than walking. I think there should be a setting in which you can put your average speed
Not that great
Becoming fake fake fake fake
Had to uninstall because it stopped working maybe I'll try it again.
I see that there is no way to enter my height if I am over 5' 7''
I logged out of it and it deleted all my running ability I'm only 11 and I ran 10674 steps in 2 days I mean only 2 and the lot got deleted, have to try again
Does what it says on the can
Not that great
Just what I was looking for
Very good
Runs in the background and turbo-drains the battery. In a few hours my battery went from full to dead, overnight while the phone was in standby mode.
Even if I'm sitting at a place.. The count increases on its own! If I'm sleeping than how is it supposed to show 167 count ?? Fix it. Need to uninstall
Don't waste your time installing this shite
Nice app
Great app !
Good
Great app...
Amazing for ur working out
Unsure if it still counts steps while in the background? Everytime I check my notifications it keeps switching between stopped and active.
The app does what it says.... I just can't switch the thing off.... eating battery for fun. Don't mind when I actually want to monitor my steps.
This app has used 70% of the phones battery use in the last24 hours.
Went to sleep, woke up and apparently I'd done over 200 steps. Why they've given this to samsung customers who already have a better pedometer in s health, I have no idea.
Have been using this for about 4 days now. It has potential but seems like it could do with added features. But it's literally killing my battery - uninstalled.
Great app but drains the battery & wipes my miles if my phone restarts witch is stupid . Please fix it
Shocking battery drain, maps do not work and step count off. Stride length can not be set below 1.6ft so not good for us shorties but it is fun to challenge friends and family fix the problems and it will be great.
Decent app but it's not very accurate and drains battery badly 5% per mile so far
The app updated and now all my progress have been wiped!

Great
Love it. It is great.
Keep fit
I had apparently done 0.20 miles walking from the bedroom to the bathroom.... I don't live in a mansion! Also after 7 hours of use ie getting to work and sitting at my desk for 4 of those hours it has drained 30% of my battery (from android battery usage breakdown). I've uninstalled as at this rate I won't have any battery to go home with. Disappointing as I liked the look of the breakdowns of different levels of activity.
So I installed this last night after getting an email from samsung about it, just before going to sleep. My phone didnt move all night. Woke up and its apparently traveled over 700 steps? For the sake of trying, I'll be keeping it on for the rest of today but not sure its worthy of remaining, being so far off!
