## Description

Step Counter is an easy-to-use pedometer and calorie counter designed to help you monitor your fitness progress effectively. Unlike GPS-based apps, it uses the device's accelerometer sensor, which conserves battery life while accurately counting steps.

Simply press the play button and start walking—whether at the gym, on your treadmill, or outdoors. The app displays detailed stats such as the number of steps taken, calories burned, distance covered, and time spent walking. You can view this information using intuitive graphs by tapping corresponding icons. For accurate calorie counting, users can input their height and weight. Additionally, the app allows sensitivity adjustments to ensure precise step tracking. Stay motivated, keep walking, and maintain your health with Step Counter!

## Review summary

Users like that the app is simple, lightweight and sometimes provides clear step/mile info. However many reviewers report major reliability problems: erratic or inaccurate counting (over- and under-counting), counts caused by shaking the phone, and the counter stopping unexpectedly. Sensitivity and phone placement issues are also repeatedly mentioned.

### Pros

- Simple and lightweight — small install size and easy to use (many reviewers called it simple)
- Can be useful/accurate for some users — several reviewers said it worked well or showed steps/miles correctly
- Basic step metrics and clear display — reviewers noted visible step/mile information

### Cons

- Inaccurate and inconsistent counting (both undercounting and erratic totals)
- False positives from shaking or hand movement — app often counts steps when the phone is merely shaken
- Stops counting or hangs randomly — several users report the counter stopping mid-activity
- Sensitivity and placement issues — users must adjust or move the phone (pocket/phone orientation) for it to register steps
