BENEFIT
Seeing your everyday life in a new way can motivate you to move more. Set simple goals (e.g. 10,000 steps a day) and start with small changes that can lead to a fitter lifestyle and healthier habits.
BATTERY CONSUMPTION
Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Moves has been designed to use GPS and other sensors sparingly. The app relies mostly on acceleration data, cell tower and Wi-Fi locations. The Battery Saving Mode will further minimize battery consumption when stationary in a place.
IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT IOS 7+
Moves needs to run continuously in the background to track your activities:
Ensure that you have BACKGROUND APP REFRESH turned ON for Moves (iPhone Settings > General > Background App Refresh)

Good app...when it actually works
Scott102
I like this app but there are so many errors I can’t stand it. I would change apps but this is the one I need for my health insurance to get their incentives. It “turns off” at random times and won’t record my steps. Even in the middle of a walk. For some reason it refuses to record my steps when I cut the lawn. And the worst is when it locks up and I have to reinstall. If you have a choice, don’t use this app. Just too many issues.
Clears itself if I open another gps tracking app?!

My moves app is set to track me ALWAYS. Why does moves shut off and reset if I turn on my ‘couch to 5k’ running coach app (also uses gps)? Shouldnt moves just run in background? It makes me restart the app and reset the day at 0 steps after I exit my running coach app. Grrr! Also why does your feedback area ONLY give you multiple choice feedback to choose from with pre-written answers on the faq? What if we have a problem w the app or question thats not on there? I lowered your rating to 3 stars until you fix the reset issue but since you dont allow us to give feedback thats not on your list, I lowered it more to 2 stars. If you respond to this promptly with a solution, I will re-rate you.
Update needed

Would you mind updating the app, i was so useful to me, and many others i guess.
Not accurate!

For some reason this app stops tracking periodically. There is no consistency!

Moves is an app i have been using for over 3 years if not more!! It has helped me keep track of how far I have walked throughout my days at college, walking an avg of 8.9 miles a day is pretty crazy! Starting in October of 2017 was when I started training in the gym and moves was still able to pick up my swimming and bike rides’. After 5 months i lost 35lbs with help from this app. I love the interface and it’s just an overall great app. Thanks! Highly recommend.
Works as advertised

Overall accuracy is decent, as are the activity assumptions, but it would be nice if swimming was added as an activity.
Can’t start it anymore

I used to love this app even though it made me feel bad because it used to track my jogging as walking. lol Now, I can’t even get the app to open up. Is it not compatible with iPhone X? So sad. It’s much better and more specific than the apple tracker.
Unique
Pilgrim95632
I find this app very useful. It is unique. I don’t know of any other app that does what this one does. I think it fills a need. There isn’t anything out there to replace it. I use it constantly. But, it isn’t as reliable as it could be. It has flaws and doesn’t work perfectly every time. Still, I continue to use it because when it does work, which is most of the time, it is indispensable. I hope the developers will update it and continue to market it. I would pay good money for an improved more stable version. Meanwhile, I still give it four stars and would give it five if the bugs were fixed.
I really like it but got a problem

I love this app , it records all my steps but when I try to open my recorded steps it moves the app just shut down and exit by it self ... any suggestions!!
Developer Letting This Go Down the Proverbial Tube
WingsThree
This app is now useless. After three days of use, it instantly crashes. Worthless waste of time. Has not been updated in over a year. The developer should pull this app, or devote the time and effort to make it functional.
