I really like you BWP app as it keeps me motivated to walk more every day. I used it over a year now, and I have recommended it to some friends. Thank you.I just want to tell you, maybe ask you, about a problem that I have encounter. Very often the app doesn’t reset the steps from one day to another and adds the steps from the previous day to the current day giving me thoughts of steps for the day. It corrects itself the next day, but very often it will start doing it again. Is there something I could do to fix this?
I have a question

I like the app. However, I’ve only had the app, and I looked, since April 13, 2022, today being Dec 10, 2025. There is data on this app going back over 10 years. Instead of about 3 million steps, the app registers around 9 million steps. At this rate, I’ll pass 60 million steps way before my time. I can’t get hold of the the developer, so I am posting this review. 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Cute walking our but would like more

I originally left a 1 star review after feeling that I was misled on the purchase. I changed it to 5 stars after verifying that I was not charged.Overall, the walking app is cute, but would like it to be a little more interactive. The step count is off and doesn’t match anywhere close to my actual steps.
It works.

I've had this app for a few months now. I have not had the random nonexistent steps show up that others have experienced. I find it pretty accurate when I open the app, but the widget doesn't update consistently.At first, it tracked nothing. I had tried to contact the developer to find out why it was not tracking my steps, but **the developer was completely unresponsive**.It gets its data from the iPhone Health app. There are no directions for how to allow that. I found out that "Motion and Fitness" under the privacy settings had to be enabled from a different app. Then the app still needs permission to receive the data.Four stars because there are no directions or help.
