iPhone Steps Tracker with Active (live) Step Count

[cybertek]

Hi,

I am looking for an iPhone steps-counting app that will display my current/live/active step count as well as my total steps for the day as I walk on the treadmill.

Currently, I have a pedometer ++, and it will show me the total steps on my watch if I tap on it, but I would rather just look at my iPhone screen for current information while walking on the treadmill.

Thanks!

I'm not using any of the apps I will mention here but these might have what your are looking for.
Almost all suggested apps are pay once except Duffy which is free with optional support for developer. They also have been updated in 2023 or later.

- Duffy - Steps Complication (iPhone and Apple Watch support) - free
- Footsteps Pedometer by Michal Kasza (iPhone and Apple Watch support) - 1.99 dollar (pay once)

Other apps but maybe less suitable for your needs:
- WorkOutDoors by CCS Ltd (iPhone and Apple Watch support) - 7.99 dollar (pay once)
- Pado by Alexander Clauss (iPhone and Apple Watch support) - 6.99 dollar (pay once via in-app)

Duffy all the way for me. It shows previous steps with a graph for any given date period. It’s just told me since 1st Jan 2024 to today I have completed a daily average of 9,159 steps totalling 2,103,781 steps. Lowest was 8th Jan 3,983 / highest 27th July 17,793…. (Yes, I do need to do more work)!
Oh and did I say it is totally free….. Tip Jar only which I hand over £5 every 6 months.

native apple Activity app is fine for this.
although apple is heavily invested in its 3 ring activity targets, it does at least still indicate the number of steps a person has walked.
in the Activity app the second to the last screen shows the distance and number of steps.
you can set yr watch for the watch screen not to return to clock for a custom set amount of time, and leave the app open to this screen so you see it constantly being updated.
the step info on this screen only lags behind real time updating by about 3 or 5 seconds.

My only issue with Pedometer++ is that it's pretty generous with step counts. The step count that it reports is significantly higher than most of the other step counters as well as the Apple Activity app.

As an example yesterday reported 12,523 vs 10,031 in the Activity and the Stepsapp apps.
