What Pedometer++ does

Pedometer++ is a step counter for iPhone and Apple Watch made by a small independent developer. It shows your steps, distance, floors and active calories, with goals, badges, widgets and watch complications. There are no rewards. Optional Premium adds workout and hiking tools.

Steps, distance, floors and active calories
Daily goals, badges and history graphs
Widgets and Apple Watch complications
Walk and hike tracking on Apple Watch
Hiking routes, GPX import and offline maps

If you just want to know how much you walked today, Pedometer++ is one of the nicest ways to see it. It reads your steps from Apple Health, shows them as clear daily bars against your goal, and adds badges for good days. Widgets and watch complications keep the number in view.

The Apple Watch app can track walks and runs indoors and out. Hikers get route tools like GPX import, routes between two points, weather along the way, elevation and offline map downloads. Some of this, including workout tracking on iPhone, needs Premium.

There's no Android version and no points to cash out. That's the point: it's calm and honest about your steps. If you want rewards, a walking rewards app is a better fit. If you want a step counter you'll actually enjoy opening, start here.
