Is this app accurate at tracking your exercise and how does it work?

    It's my understanding that the MFP database tends to over-estimate calories burned. As to "how does it work" you're gonna have to be more specific.

    MFP doesn't count steps. Some other apps do that can link to MFP.

    Your phone can count your steps but you have to tell MFP that you want them logged as your exercise. If you do something like jumping rope you then also tell MFP that you were exercising and not just stepping.
