pedometer on your phone...

charliex2202 · January 2014

So I downloaded an app to track how many steps I walk daily but its bloomin useless as it wont track when its in my coat pocket or purse...can you recommend one that's better at picking up movement even when its in your coat pocket and also is there a way that i can log my steps on mfp??

Thanks

Charlie

I'd sort of doubt the accelerometer in any phone these days is going to be quite fine enough to function as a step counter, regardless of what app you're using. I may be wrong, but i'd be willing to bet that even the cheapest made-for-purpose step counter is going to do a better job than your phone can.

Edit: I am an idiot.

I have an iPhone 5 and I use the Free Pedometer by Viaden. During the summer I kept my phone in my pocket while I was walking and it was pretty accurate and right in line with the mileage markers on the trail. (As long as I remembered to turn on the GPS in my phone.!)

I use runtastic pedometer on my android phone - its pretty accurate, and it syncs with MFP.

I downloads Moves this week (http://www.moves-app.com/) and it's been fantastic. It's been really accurate, and as it looks so nice I've been more inclined to turn it on every morning and keep checking how much I've done

It's on iOS and Android, give it a whirl!
