## Review summary

Many reviews praise Steps for motivation and detailed analytics, and some users consider it a favorite when it works. However, repeated issues with syncing to Apple Watch/Health and inaccurate step counts (including stairs) dominate complaints. Billing/upgrade problems, weak or inaccessible support, and settings that revert after upgrades further affect reliability. Overall, the app is valued for tracking and motivation, but reliability and support gaps are the main drawbacks.

### Pros

- Keeps users accountable and motivated to walk daily.
- Provides thorough analytics and insights into activity data.

### Cons

- Frequent syncing issues with Apple Watch/Health, leading to steps not updating or not syncing.
- Step and stair counting are often inaccurate and distance calculations can be inconsistent.
- Premium/upgrade billing issues, including being charged and difficulty unsubscribing or access to full history.
- Limited or broken support options; in-app help/support features are hard to reach or non-functional.
- Goals or settings reverting or not sticking after changes/updates (e.g., changing step goals).
