The health aspects of owning an iPhone 13 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 7 45mm Cellular are fantastic… The Apple Health App is like having my own personal trainer and physician with me constantly. I regularly use a gym and cycle & run almost everywhere I go… But since discovering this fantastic app my keep fit activates have taken on a new dimension. Being able to use Steps on board my iPhone and Apple Watch has literally become indispensable and I’m not embarrassed to admit that! At any time I am active I can turn to Steps to provide the most important information I need to see regarding how well I am doing at achieving my daily goals, this is something I really appreciate and enjoy. I have gone through a few health apps that claim Apple Watch integration but have always abandoned them because they don’t live up to the developers hype. Steps has more than proved itself the health app for me and will continue to be so for a long time yet! (I’d like to mention a feature I’d really like to see added in an update if possible, audible notifications on both iPhone & Apple Watch when goals are achieved or even exceeded, this would be fantastic to have one day…)

Basically does what you’d expect a pedometer to do. I’ve played around running up and down stairs and walking outside slow then fast then a couple of double steps etc trying to trick it and counting a good few hundred steps each time for a fairer result. I can say it’s pretty accurate, it was always within a few steps which is good. Maybe out by 10 at the most for 300 steps.One feature I think you should implement is a mile per hour type thing. Or maybe not exactly cause than might encourage some moron to run downhill fast at night to see how fast they can go! But it would be good if you could have a record timer for how fast you can walk a mile, how fast you can run a mile and how far/how many steps you can do in an hour. This information is already there but you have to pick it out and do the math. It would be better if it was already displayed somewhere for you. It should have sliders and be customisable for example if you’re training to do a run and you want to see how quick you can do 5 miles and track your progress clearly and adjust your goal as you reach the previous one.

I recently purchased an Apple Watch and migrated to Apple Health after getting a little tired of years of FitBit - their problematic products and closed ecosystem. When I came across StepsApp I initially thought ‘why pay all this money just to count my steps when I can get that info from the Apple Health app?’ Then, I took a closer look.. what you get is very in-depth and useful comparative information that is beautifully displayed in-app and through a generous number of widgets. An app that feels quality built and that is actually ‘useful’ rather than only cosmetic for the sake of it! Historic info is at your fingertips which gives a heads up on how your progressing through your activities. Easy to read and easily understood make for a professionally built app. Conclusion: Excellent app, don’t think about it, just buy it because I’ve tried more apps than most people have had hot dinners, and this one wins by a mile! If I’m wrong then I’m walking all wrong!! ;-)FYI I’m in no way associated with the developer so this not a mate review.. if the app was crap, I’d say so in no uncertain terms!

Although many additional features can be unlocked with a monthly subscription I have found the free version informative enough for my needs. I am able to see how many steps I have taken, how far (in miles or km) this equates to and how many flights of stairs I have climbed per day, week, month or year. Data is displayed in Avery user friendly format using calendar layouts and bar or line graphs. It is easy to set personal targets by distance or steps and the app very usefully informs you when you have met / surpassed this target, also showing how this compares to previous weeks or months. The counting and distance calculation is extremely accurate against both manual counting and distance measurement on google maps / earth. Fully recommend this app for both those casually interested in how much exercise they might be getting in the course of their normal day (such as me) and can see that the subscription version would be very useful for straight-up fitness fanatics.
