Stepz - Step Counter & Tracker 4+

Hey, Even though I stopped counting my steps, my app didn’t! So when I cracked 2500 steps today, I was able to look back and see that the last time I did that was Feb 23rd. The app is also able to encourage me by showing me my long term achievements. I’ve had it about 5 years (and MyStep before then) so it shows me that I’ve walked over 1m steps in total, had the rare 10,000 step day, and walked the entire coastline of Ireland. It also tells me I’d better remember my phone the next time I go on a walk (not always a given!)

There are just a few drawbacks with this app. My biggest (okay, only) critique is that the navigation doesn’t make sense to me and it’s not easy to change my goal. Even though I’ve had it for so long, I still have to click several times to get to a place where it will change. Although that could be a connection issue? In which case I wish it would change right away and then update when there is connection. Either way, I can’t figure out how to change my goal today.

But overall, great app.

Hi there! Thank you for sharing your precious feedback.

“If it’s not broken - break it!” is the motto of one of the developers who is part of the team now in charge of Stepz, and it’s exactly what they have done with what used to be a favorite app. You are constantly bombarded with loud and intrusive ads that make using Stepz a nightmare. You get those more or less every time you switch to the app. It’s very careless to have that on an app that people use when they are physically active. It’s not just annoying and frustrating, it’s also distracting and can be a safety hazard, showing a high degree of disregard for the users from the developers. Apparently the permanent ad bar on the Stepz screen was not enough for them. What you get for all this is a very questionable aesthetics update and lots of distinction which the pre-2019 version didn’t have - your monthly, yearly, etc, totals are always miscounted after midnight. To fix it you must 1) open the app 2) force close the app 3) reopen the app (yay, ads); if you ever travel to a different time zone all your data gets totally corrupted and you have to download it from....the free in-built step counter that comes with your phone! Each and every time! And one wonders why they demand those outrageous prices for “the full experience”. All of this has been the same for quite some time now, so obviously the developer does not care for us, users of Stepz.

Hi there, we are sorry to know that you are not satisfied with our app. We believe the app is a great tool to track your daily steps and offers different features that motivate our users to meet their daily goals. Therefore, we have chosen that the app is free to download and use with some ads. If you want to experience the full potential without any ads, you can sign up for the premium version. You may fix the issue related to data discrepancies when traveling across time zones by reimporting historical data. To do so, tap the cogwheel in the top-right corner > scroll down to the bottom > tap "Reimport Historical Data". These steps should solve any data discrepancy you experienced. We hope this can help you, but in case you have further doubts, we'd be glad to assist you. Drop us an email to reviews@bendingspoons.com.

Since I started using your app I’ve lost the weight I was trying too lose. I was at almost 200 pounds and I set my mind too get down too my BMI of 165. I accomplished that goal in April when my doctor saw I was at 160. I told him I wanted too get now too 145 and he said no. He told me I was at my ideal weight. I still watch how many steps I walk every day with your app and at least I know I can keep track as too maintain a somewhat consistent schedule even though I still want too lose more weight. I like too challenge myself too walk those extra steps. I look at the app everyday and try too set goals too beat my previous steps from the day before. Now that I’m at my ideal weight at least I know I can stay persistent by keeping track of how many miles I’ve walked in one days time by looking at the app. Each day, marks a new beginning, a new challenge of trying too always do better too stay healthy. Don’t ever give up having this app. I don’t want too be buying a pedometer too wear on my belt.
