Hi! I’m new to this app. I was wanting to know are the steps tracker accurate with this app? I use an iPhone so I’m using it to help keep up with my steps.

    Pedometers on smartphones tend to be pretty good, so I think you should be safe using your phone to track steps.

    Yeah - I think you’ll be fine with the one on the phone.

    I found my phone and my fitbit were pretty much the same, as long as I carried my phone with me all day. I often walk to the bathroom at my office without my phone, so those steps don't get counted. If you take a lot of steps without your phone, then keep in mind it may not be accurate.

    Smart phones as a whole are fairly accurate, as the technology for pedometers is relatively simple and most Smartphones and more advanced pedometers also use GPS to self calibrate.
