Pedometer on the "Android": which one to choose?

A pedometer is a program designed to count steps. Initially, it was used by athletes, but today it is considered quite popular among people who are not related to training.

This program is built into some models of watches, music players, mobile phones. Recently, it is actively used on smartphones and tablets. How to choose a pedometer on the "Android"?

Consider several well-known applications for calculating steps:

• Moves.
• Runtastic Pedometer.
• Pedometer from Viaden mobile.
• Accupedo pedometer.
• "Noom Pedometer".

Moves

This pedometer on "Android" moved from the "apple" platform, where it gained wide popularity. The program has an intuitive interface. It allows you to calculate the distance that the user has gone through during the day. The application separately determines the distance covered by bicycle, car or on foot. Thanks to the tracker, it is possible to get familiar with the frequently used routes that are displayed on the map. There is a function for calculating calories.

Runtastic Pedometer

The application is ideal for users who want to use a pedometer on the "Android" in Russian. Programs can be downloaded for free, without even a registration. The pedometer automatically counts the steps, speed and number of calories burned.

Settings can be saved in the memory of a smartphone or tablet, which makes it possible to compare results with previous ones. Interestingly, the program is able to work even when the device is turned off.

Pedometer from Viaden Mobile

The program is not distinguished by a set of functions from other similar applications. Its task is to count the steps, the distance traveled by the user, the speed, time spent for a walk, and the number of calories burned. To get more accurate results, it is desirable to set the profile of your own height, sex, weight and length of the step. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the optimum loads in order to achieve the greatest efficiency.

But this is not a complete list of functions that the pedometer has on the "Android". If you pay $ 3, you can access other options. These include tracking the parameters of the body, weight, which will help to properly adjust the load during training. There is an opportunity every day to set a goal for the number of calories spent and achieve it.

But, unfortunately, the program is not devoid of shortcomings. As evidenced by user feedback, the pedometer on "Android" from Viaden Mobile has many shortcomings, which are expressed in an incorrect display on some devices.

Accupedo pedometer

The main difference of the program is an informative and convenient widget that can be placed on different types of screens of the mobile device. The pedometer on the phone uses an accelerometer, which is provided in the device. The program can collect information on the number of steps taken, distance, time spent for a walk. There are data on the calories burned. The pedometer is able to create graphs that allow you to familiarize yourself with the indicators obtained even for a month or a year, and also compare them with each other.

"Noom Pedometer"

If you download this program, it does not take up much space on the device. Noom - a pedometer on the phone - allows the user to keep under control the number of steps performed per day. The application has a minimum set of functions, so it does not consume battery power of a smartphone or tablet. This has a positive effect on the battery life of the device. According to the developers themselves, a day consumes as much energy as it spends the display in just 20 minutes.

Pedometers produced by different manufacturers have a similar set of functions, but they can differ in individual parameters. In general, this is a useful application that helps you keep track of your activity during the day.

For athletes and those who try to control their form, this program is unusually suitable. The pedometer captures the number of steps and provides information about the calories burned. Such an application is created especially for people who are active in life and who are following their own health.
