Disappointing

After purchasing this app I was very disappointed to find how inaccurate it was in reporting the number of steps I had taken.

PoS

Dont bother. Constantly drops your location and with increasing frequency. Promises to eliminate ads when you upgrade, but keeps inundating you with ads for its "other products" which are just as worthless. Will delete from my apps.

Pauses in background

Previous version worked great, but I only use it now when my Jawbone dies. For about the past year when I use this app, it pauses in the background, even in the middle of a walk. I lose so much data. If I leave it up to keep it on, it devours battery. What was the improvement with the upgrade? I dont get it.

Freezes every time.

I had this app for a while with an iPhone 5 and I could never determine if it was really all that accurate but at least it seemed to be in the ballpark and would count my time and distance. Now Im trying to use it with a 5s and on my last 5 runs the app has glitched out each time and has stopped counting mid run. When I open the app I see it struggling to catch up and big chunks of numbers in mileage start skipping upwards. Ive given this app so many chances. Restarted my phone, closed all other apps, etc. now Im deleting it because it fails to serve its single simple purpose. Feels like a rip off to have paid for this.

What happened!

I agree, doesnt track correctly. I can walk same route everyday and the mileage is always different, I mean way different. I had to delete it today because I couldnt get it to open. I hope that helps! Please fix, I have always enjoyed using this app!

Runtastic doesnt care what you think

Like many other users on here, I have found it doesnt track the distance correctly. Same exact 1-mile route, and sometimes it measures .84 or whatever. Obviously Runtastic doesnt care what we think because they offer no fix for this obvious bug. They just keep taking peoples money, and I guess, laughing at us for paying for the "pro" (ha ha, yes, joke is on us) version.

Misrepresented

This app is grossly inaccurate on a consistent basis. I just jogged 3+ miles and got credit for 1.2 at under 2mph. This is very discouraging and disheartening.

All Runtastic apps

I have purchased and downloaded all of the run tested apps excepting cardio and mountain bike. All of them continually bombard you with advertisements to purchase additional apps. I cannot recommend any of these apps until this practice is discontinued. Pedometer Pro fails to sync sessions under iOS 9.

So-so, Should Be a Lot Better

I like this app over most others because it tracks steps without Location needing to activated. I work in a huge building which doesnt get cell signal in much of the building, so this feature is needed. But sadly the counter stops if I dont move my phone for a period of time & doesnt automatically restart when I move it again. If Im too busy to actually reopen the app to reset it I could lose many hours. And then when I restart it back up it seems to have a lot less steps than before. Im going to see if there are new movement activated apps out there now.

Not so "Pro"

Ive had this app for a while now. I was hopeful it would improve with updates but it cuts off a lot even after upgrading to pro. Metrics are also not accurate and its sometimey when it comes to feeding to myfitness pal. What does work well are the ads and e-mail marketing push crap I got after. Lame. Yall got to do better. There are too many apps out there to have to pay for mediocre and not provide a good service. I work hard for my steps/miles/whatever. I need them to be accurate and not cut out! Come on yall.

Ridiculously inaccurate

What happened to you, Pedometer pro?

Daily steps

Just want something that tracks daily step like a Fitbit, this app died not do that.

Phenomenal?!?

What a joke! I could be laying still and watch my numbers climb! In fact, I walked a quarter mile in 3 minutes while I was laying in bed!

Important خيلي مهم

Not very good app but still half working. The calculation for calories or time do walk and step is not correct or good. When i come back to app it will be hanged for 5 min or more. Finally it work for you about 30% correction and not so more. برنامه خيلي خوبي نيست و محسابه دقيقي از قدم شماري يا كالري مصرفي نداره و حتي زمان حركت رو هم اشتباه حساب مي كنخ مثلا اگه ٣ ساعت بري بيرون مي گه ٥ ساعت بيرون بودي و وقتي كه بعد از ٢ ساعت وارد برنامه مي شي كه ببيني چي حساب كرزه برنامه واسه چند دقيقت هنگ مي كنه كه بخواد درست نشون بده و كلا زياد روش حساب باز نكنيد ٣٠ درصد بيشتر دقت نداره موفق باشيد

Accuracy needs calibration

I like the way this app works with my iOS iPhone, except that when I thought I had walked one mile as the pedometer indicated – – when I checked it with two cars they confirmed that the pedometer was off more than 2/10 of a mile. (So I guess the good news is that I walked further than the pedometer said I walked!) This app needs an easy way to recalibrate itself!
