About Pedometer

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).

What are users saying about Pedometer

N70%
by N####:

Pretty good and simple. Doesn't seem to drain the battery much. Not always exact but I guess it's because it relies on the phone's step sensor. Overall pretty good.

O70%
by O####:

I wanted it to be great and it nearly was. But unfortunately it underestimates the number of steps by approx 10%, as confirmed by using two other apps at the same time. But the design and layout and everything is very good.

F70%
by F####:

In love with this app. Does all I need it to without battery drain and more accuracy compared to apps of a similar nature. Thank you for a great app!

X70%

I like the app but its no way near accurate sometimes x2 steps. Oneplus 3t

X70%

Not working after this update. Steps are always 0. Not working after reinstalling also.

It doesn't work correctly, always restarts the count! I'm not closing it or anything...

Gooood application for LG Nexus 5X , برنامه خوبیه برای LG Nexus 5X حتما دانلود کنید

Simple to use and manage. Also easily syncs up to Google Fit.

I'm using this app for a long time! It is the best and simple app that counts your steps and don't even drain battery at all! Also the developer is a great supporter! I contacted with him 3-4 times with emails for some bugs, which he solved them! Yet i want to see this app more attractive, like if you click advanced, it will show you some new feature like GPS, altitude, barometer, calories etc

B70%

Doesn't seem to track my steps. Works if I shake phone, but having it in my front or back pocket and it tracks nothing. I'm on my feet walking all over the place for three hours at work and afterwards, it says I've taken 35 steps. Seriously? Three days and it still doesn't work. Uninstalling. I did read the description. It simply does not work on my phone.

B70%
by B####:

Almost perfect. If only it saved data for more than a week or would be what I use. Now I gotta wade through a bunch of crap alternatives to try and find one I like almost as much as this one purely to get a better history. Expand history and I will be happy to reinstall this app.

X70%

I have been using it since I had Nexus 5, so it's been awhile through 3 phones by now... and it just works. No fuss no muss, this is just one of very few perfect apps out there and Im writing about it just because I wanted to thank developer for his work.

X70%
by X####:

Great simple interface for passively tracking, but it misses steps, doesn't save data beyond a week, and doesn't count in realtime. I tried this after hearing it was tailored to the Nexus 5's built-in pedometer, but found that it still seems to come up short. When manually counting steps it seems to miss about 1 every 25 steps, and this corresponds to being a few hundred short by the end of an average day (~10,000 steps). Admittedly, this is better than most apps... but there are nonetheless other apps that seem to miss fewer steps. Another major issue is that it only tracks steps for a week, not saving the full record. And a minor annoyance is that it doesn't seem to count steps in realtime... rather, it seems to bulk-update after some unknown length of time. So I'll wake up and walk a mile to work and it'll read only 7 steps when I sit at my desk, but sometime by lunch it'll jump up to a couple thousand.

This app worked for awhile and then totally stopped

It won't sync with Google fit. The steps record is not the same with the Google fit app. The app is already connected with Google fit

Used to be amazing. But now I can't sign in with my Google account.

This app works fine on my nexus 5 so I install it on my sony xperia C3 dual, which AIDA64 says it supports step counter hardware. Actually, it works well in the first day. But since yesterday it doesn't count steps anymore. I don't know why. I can open this app but it just doesn't function.

J70%
by J####:

Can't change settings. I'm going to use an old pedometer that attaches to my belt from the era before smart phones. Ever since the upgrade to 6.0 I hate my smartphone-nothing works right.

X70%
by X####:

It seems a little buggy when i try to look at the app itself, the notificaton bar is slow to update but it seems to resync sooner or later after opening the app up and it fixed my problem with Google fit and it's inaccurate step count as this app lines up with the step count my step sensor picks up in AIDA64 so not bad for plain and simple. Also wouldn't be bad if the notification that is counting would show on lock screen, that would be kind if snazzy for such a basic simple app.

N70%
by N####:

But when I updated my phone to marshmallow, it totally stopt working, if I start the app, it freezes up the phone and causing a soft reboot. Hope someone already reported this.

R70%

Stopped working during last couple of updates. Now just showed zero steps whenever I open it.

T70%
by T####:

This app does EXACTLY what I need with no apparent change in battery draw. So good for me that I sent the developer some beer money!

T70%
by T####:

Would be good if the notification bar status count updated more regularly. You need to close the app for it to update!

Great app--does all I want or need for my daily walks. Very quick response from app designer to a question.

I was using Google Fit until I found out about the Pedometer app. This has a much cleaner footprint, and significantly decreases battery drain typically associated with GPS/Accelerometer based step counters.

Last time I tried this app on SMN750 (4.4.2), the pedometer sensor function was broken by Samsung. I couldn't able to try the app still gave a positive rating. Dev was upset that I rated the app without trying. Recently I updated to 5.1.1 and pedometer sensor is fixed. So I give this app a second try and its working ok. I like app's minimal but required features, specially manual import/export. However I dont like sign in with Google and location permission. I been using app for 2 days, noticed an issue goal not reset next day. its showing yesterday's steps + today's steps.

Horribly inaccurate on Nexus 6P.

This application now requires device location and is no longer as lightweight as it was.

I'm amazed what this app can do with a tiny 1.4 MB (the size it occupied on my Nexus 5) what other Apps achieve with many times that size. I'm equally impressed by its accuracy: I compared with a brand name App over five days and found it to be just as accurate. And lest I forget, it's also very frugal in consumption of the battery. Kudos to the developer for all these achievements.

Z70%
by Z####:

When I first launched it, read zero steps. Took 30-40 steps to test it and it read 65,556 steps! Tapped the counter screen and somehow it went to over 131,000 steps. Tried to reset it through settings, but apparently you can't do that or its not obvious. It also somehow affected my iMprint fingerprint reader. Trying to unlock my phone with it failed most of the time with this app running. Had to uninstall it.

Easy and perfect! Real time pace tracking, you don't have to open it, it keep tracking automatically.

I have been using this app for a couple of weeks now. I have no idea how accurate it is, but I don't care, really. I get a daily goal, and I have to make sure I get above that. That's all I really need. One thing that would be great, would be if there were more "unlock" features. For the serious walkers, they are all going to be broken pretty quickly (I started 3 weeks ago but I am already on 12/19). Can you add more unlock features? Fore example, "15 days consecutively walked over target" even up to 1 year. I know it's just numbers, but it's good to have them as fun targets to have. I like the 1,000,00 steps, but I am at 254,000 steps after 3 weeks. At this rate, all the features will be unlocked within three months. Thank you.

P70%
by P####:

I have tested many pedometer apps and I really like this one, I would use it instead of Google Fit, but there is one issue, the pause button. This ends up pressed by mistake sometimes and then I lose tracking data. I would never pause this and would like an option to show or hide the pause button or choose to pause from within the settings menu.
