What Pedometer++ does
Pedometer++ is a step counter for iPhone and Apple Watch. It shows daily steps, distance, flights climbed, and active calories, and adds workouts, route planning, and offline maps for walks and hikes.
Pedometer++ launched in 2013 and, according to its site, has passed 20 million downloads. It shows your step count, walking distance, active calories, heart rate data, and the flights of stairs you climb each day, on both iPhone and Apple Watch.
You set a custom daily step goal and follow your progress with built-in graphs. The app highlights streaks and awards Badges to reward consistent activity. If you have an Apple Watch, Pedometer++ can sync step data across devices for more accurate counts, and it reads step data from the Apple Health app.
The app also covers workouts and the outdoors. You can start indoor and outdoor walking and running workouts on iPhone or Apple Watch and save them to Apple Health. For hikes, you can import GPX routes or plan your own by tapping start and end points; the app finds the shortest path, shows distance, elevation changes, estimated time, and expected weather, and lets you download offline maps for large areas. Expedition Mode reduces heart rate tracking on Apple Watch to extend battery life on long outings.
Widgets and a wide range of Apple Watch complications show your progress at a glance. Step data is backed up with your iCloud backup, and you can export it as a CSV file.
The core features are free. Pedometer++ Premium costs $3.99 per month or $29.99 per year with a 7-day free trial, and adds Expedition Mode, Live Activities, live and offline maps for workouts, maps on Apple Watch, extra app icons, and removes ads. The app is made by Cross Forward, which also makes Widgetsmith and Sleep++.
Best for
iPhone and Apple Watch owners who want to track daily steps, from casual walkers to hikers and runners.
Not for
Android users, and people who need a full training platform for cycling, swimming, or other sports.
