iSteps GPS Pedometer is a fun way to help you promote your physical activity. For long-term health it is recommended that we take approx. 10,000 steps a day. For successful weight loss, daily steps should amount to 12,000-15,000.
To get started using iSteps, set up your personal profile by entering your height in cm or inches, your weight in lbs or kg, and choose how you want your results displayed, either in kcal or kJ and distance in miles or km. Then press the START button and you are ready to GO!
We recommend that you wear your iPhone or iPod touch by your waist or in your pocket, but you may need to experiment a bit to find the best location for optimal accuracy.
Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. With the option to turn off “Daily Totals Tracking”, you can save battery when needed.

Does What It Promises to Do
Needs the Workout
This app is well worth the price. It tracks your walking by the number of steps, the time of your walk, distance and calories expended. I just started a walking program and I need all the motivation I can get. I have a small issue. Once while checking my progress mid-walk, I may have unintentionally stopped the counter. I'm not sure if this was my fault or the app's fault, but it was annoying. It works if you are holding the phone during your walk, or if you keep it in your pocket. Overall, great application!
Can't get no better than this

Great AP; also works very well with a action Jackson iphone case holder. A good way to monitor you mi/kal
Fairly good, needs a little work

I agree with the others - it seems pretty accurate regarding step count and distance. I have tried it at the health club to compare it to the distance on our walking/running track, and it is pretty good. However, I am also frustrated that it won't work in the background, stops if you access your iPod or answer a phone call, and stops sometimes for no reason that I can determine. I must bump the display somehow. I have also found that it does not work well when held in your hand. Clipped to a belt or in a pocket work fine for me, but held in my hand it undercounts by about 40%.
Bit of a battery hog
tkyboy
Good app pretty accurate and works well only downside a good 2 hour walk amost drained the battery needs to work, as someone else said, in the background.
Needs work

Under counts and resets itself on occasion. Needs to run in the background as it wears down your battery quickly.
It's a turn off
PeteSyd
This software has time and time again turned itself off no matter what you do to stop it. You can walk a half an hour and it tells you you took 31 steps and didn't leave your driveway.
Can't count daily steps
jeansmith1
if you want to count your steps over the day, you can't do it with this product. Battery won't last more than a few hours.
