Hi FitnessPal folks,

Can anyone recommend an app for android that counts steps and I can log excersise goals as well as excersise I do?
I'm using Accupedo but it always crashes and I get halfway through the morning before it realises I'm activ.

Be blessed Evette

    I have a vivofit ( connects to most phones ) . It tracks all my steps and I can enter all my exercise activities . It also links with MFP for tracking calories .

    you could try mapmyfitness which doesn't require a worn tracker....it just doesn't count regular steps just keeps track of workouts.

    To track steps you need a pedometer (depending on your phone you may have one) Samsung has S Heath, or an activity tracker like Jawbone, fitbit etc.

    When you connect a Fitbit activity tracker, MFP adjusts your daily calorie goal to TDEE minus deficit. I love mine.

    You can learn more in the Fitbit Users group: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users

    Fitbit flex is good but I wish I had the one with a heart rate monitor built in
