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
