What does the app do?
This app records walking-related information including the number of steps, distance, time and speed. This information is recorded as daily, weekly and monthly totals. The app also calculates the calories (energy) burned. For a more detailed description of the app, see Google Play(external link) and for a detailed review, see Reviews.
| PROS | CONS |
| ✔ The app is very simple and easy to use. ✔ It takes user’s gender, weight and step distance into account. |
✘ The app may also measure other activity such as bike-riding and add it to the step count. ✘ The accuracy of the calories used reading is not known because there is no information describing how this calculation was done. |
