If you just want to go for a walk and not get lost, most GPS apps are redundant. But not this one.

9 Ways to Trick Your Fitness Tracker into 10,000 Steps

You know the problem. You want to go hiking and use that beautiful route you found on a favorite app like Wikiloc, Komoot, or the like. But maybe you don’t want to deal with all the app’s post-hike reminders to save and rate the route. Or maybe you just don’t want to keep grabbing your phone only to find that the GPS app has reset itself and you have to start over. Pedometer++, perhaps the simplest pedometer on the iPhone and Apple Watch, just got an update that will change how you use technology in the wilderness or just around the city.

“There are apps that can track certain aspects of your physical activity, such as Strava or even Google Maps (depending on your phone’s location settings), but Pedometer++ promises to be even more user-friendly than these apps and offers more features for avid hikers, including detailed analytics, goal setting, and the ability to tag photos of your hikes to specific locations,” Kyle MacDonald, VP at GPS tracking company Mojio, told Lifewire via email.

David Smith’s Pedometer++ has long been the best simple step-tracking app for the iPhone. If you follow the developer, you know you can trust the app not to track you in a creepy way, and if all you want is tracking your steps on your iPhone (and Apple Watch), it doesn’t get much easier than this. In fact, Pedometer++’s simplicity may be its biggest selling point, and while the new update adds some huge changes, it’s still as simple and focused as ever.
