Pedometer - Android app

Pedometer is an application for Android phones, that counts your steps.

| Source code now on GitHub | |:------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Features

Counts your steps, displays your pace, approx. distance, speed and calories burned.

It has an option to notify you by voice in given intervals about any value. You can set a desired pace/speed and get notified when you have to go faster or slower.

Limitations & tips

If not accurate, try adjusting the sensitivity setting. Works best when attached firmly to your body.

On some phones it can't count the steps when the screen is off, try tweaking the "Operational level" setting if this happens.

Not suitable for all day use, as it consumes power constantly.

Drop me an email if you have any problems, suggestions, ideas. You can also create your own version as this is open source software. Have fun!
