Make it yours
You can change the colour
scheme of the app, your
goals, what devices work
with the app and even
your body measurements
from the Settings icon. You
really can make the entire
experience your own.
Stepping out
If you wish to use a much simpler solution for tracking steps and one that is visually obvious in every way StepsApp is an excellent
option. It can use the iPhone motion sensor with no setup at all and it updates in real time, and also provides a useful history of your
progress over longer periods.
Everything
is obvious
The visuals in StepsApp are
as easy to read and clear as
you could possibly hope for
and it will take less than a
second to understand how
your day is progressing. The
data is kept to a minimum.
