WalkLogger pedometer
WalkLogger stays on in the background and automatically determines when you are walking. To use it, simply turn your screen off and put the phone in your pocket, in a belt clip, or in a purse or bag. The more firmly attached the phone is to you the better it works.
Medical research has shown that to stay healthy and prevent heart disease and diabetes it is crucial to stand up and walk several times throughout the day. People who spend lots of time standing up and moving around, for example by taking taking quite short walks throughout the day, indoors or outdoors, are healthier and live longer. Several studies have shown that you can reduce your risk of developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes by staying active.
WalkLogger lets you:-Count your steps-Estimate your distance walked or run-Estimate the calories you burn by being active (net calories)-Estimate your total calorie consumption (gross calories)-Get activity logs with detailed information about individual walks and runs-Set step, distance and calorie goals-Earn medals based on the number of steps you walk each day-Use the pedometer from your home screen with the built in widget-Sign up for free and automatically sync your walking and running to the cloud-Share your progress on social networks and any other sharing apps that you have on your phone.-Unlock app themes by walking. Walk a total of 1000 steps to unlock a purple theme, 5000 steps to unlock a red theme and 10000 steps to unlock a green theme.
WalkLogger is a pedometer that does not record or log your location. Your exercise data and any other personal information that you store in the app will not be shared with anyone unless you explicitly choose to share it. Your email address will not be shared with third parties.
WalkLogger uses your phone's accelerometer to measure your activity. Unfortunately, some phones turn off their accelerometer when the screen turns off which makes it impossible to run a pedometer on those phones without draining the battery. WalkLogger will not work properly on those phones.

I've used this app for about three years. Mostly it's been great, but sometimes it really goes off the rails. As an example, according to this app I've walked 455 miles since yesterday, including 124 miles while I slept. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled twice today but it still loggs bogus steps. As example, within minutes of my reinstall I had walked 44 miles. I'm now looking for a different podometer app.
Sorry, have tried everything possible to get this working, but its accuracy is woeful, and I'm talking like thousands of steps not counted. I have granted the app exemption from battery saving, and have tweeked the sensitivity level but it still fails. Seems to work while holding in my hand, but not otherwise. Absolutely useless.
I GIVE UP! New phone and now this useless app doesn't work at all. It's useless. I am a patient man, but, enough is enough DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME! This app works when it wants. It lost all my history and then didn't record anything. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app. Low & behold NOTHING! NO record from today, when I have walked, at least, 4km. Also, the developers don't appear to give a s**t, because there are no replies to any feedback. My advise is to find an app that actually works.
I used to really love this app, very simple and basic, but it may no longer works with my Pixel 2. I tried adjusting the sensitivity, and I may be able to get it tweaked to where it works again, but I'm not sure what changed. It had been working fine. 2 days later- nope.
App worked well until I installed the latest version of Android, in mid-August 2018. Then app stopped. I sent an email to the developers seeking direction. No response. I don't fault the developers if this is an Android os issue, but I do fault the developers for not disclosing the nature of the issue.
I installed the app, made all the adjustments to the profile Etc. Then I went for a 2-mile walk. The app recorded 0 steps. With that type of accuracy I don't need it in my life. If it were possible to give this negative Stars it would be a negative 3. It is now Uninstalled. A waste of time and energy. There are so many other available apps to choose from, my search continues
Very unimpressed!. I had it on my old phone and it seemed fine, underestimated a bit but acceltabe. So I installed it on new phone and it's rubbish. Sometimes it doesn't log anything. I upped the sensitivity but today I've walked about 5 miles. Checked the phone when I was ablut half way and it had logged about 2,800 which seemed liw but it was at least revording something... But at the end it was still stuck on 2800????? Why is it not working on this phone?
Perfect! Count steps with a graph showing time of day. Also shows in miles. It works, without all the unnecessary stuff that drains batteries. Unfortunately it will not run on my new android 9 phone. Please update this app!
I loved this app. It no longer logs my steps with the Android 9 update. Now I have to have it open to log vs before it worked in the background and I didn't have to think about it. At least I found a work around such that the app is still usable.
1. Couldn't sign up nor log in. 2. App showed wrong days of week and wrong step counts. 3. App showed differing step counts and days on different screens. 4. Poor controls, poor support. Therefore:. A total waste of my time trying it.
Nice simple app. Sometimes doesn't detect when i start walking and have to open the app manually. Very consistent and works well otherwise. I am uninstalling only because i have switched to google fit so i can sync with Pokemon Go.
I have been really happy with this for the last 6months but it stopped working at the weekend. I had to reload and lost all the data and still doesn't work!! I cannot log in either
Usually works well. Once in a while makes a huge mistake. If it's number of steps, I might estimate a correction but yesterday it told me I'd burned an extra million plus calories and that's not something it lets me change.
Loved this app. It appears to be accurate within about 5% although overeads in mountainous country ( shorter steps). However big problem with Android10. I have to remember to start it every time I go out.
I like the app a lot, just a shame it doesn't allow you to compare years in total. If you want to see how you compare to previous years you have to go through each day manually.
Best free pedometer app I've tried. Been using it for years. It quit working properly one time. I just uninstalled and reinstalled. My Samsung loves it
Very accurate and does not drain battery. The best. Same results day after day with same journey.
I think this is a useful app , but I can't give it 5 stars based on the amount of power it drains from the phoes battery at a continuous 24 hour a day pace.
Doesn't really work anymore when I have of it up. I have to shake itor jumping around or have in something like my slipper boots that can make it work. it's a good app and everything
very accurate when it works, frequently doesn't work, now it hasn't worked for weeks. time to uninstall it.
I love it! If you don't have it with you every moment, you can add the steps you took without it. I uninstalled it and missed it so much, I had to install it again. It keeps me walking more.
After system upgrade to android 9 pie, it stops frequently and the font of widget is too big to read.
I have had this for several years and like it very much but can't get it to work on my Moto G7power. I am just now trying to reinstall it. (12/27) for the fourth time. This time it seems to be working.
I've had this app installed for over three years and love(ed) it. It tracked well and the goal setting was really good. It has captured my activity for over three years now and I find that useful and very interesting. Now for the bad part. I've changed phones and cannot get the app to capture my old history/data. I've put in a email request but have not had a response to date. :-( Without this issue it would remain as a five star product. With it's down to 3.
