I was considering
buying it but there are bad reviews on the App Store. I'd
recommend reading them before buying. Did anyone see my question
about an app to read the information displayed on the screen of
any workout equipmentII

Ok, I recommended iTreadmill, as it was recommended to me, so
tried it. I
used it on the same walks for some weeks. I got consistent
distances
whether walked fast, slow, strode out, or dordle. The net
effect, since I
never set a stride length is that my number of strides for the
distance was
never the same. Yet it recorded distance pretty uniformly every
time. and
I'm sure I spotted the Location services tag in the status bar
too; hence
my presumption it took gps values of where you were, are and how
long it
took you between those two point. certainly, it would count
strides, and
offer an option to give a beat so you could maintain a good
crusing pace;
but never had issues with distance and strides.
I don't use it now as I know the distances, and just use a watch
for
timings.

I have NEVER seen a "true" pedometer app NOT use stride info to
measure
distance.
Before I lost my sight I owned 3 different brands of pedometers
that I
clipped to my waistband and all 3 required a stride measurement.
How else would a pedometer be able to properly calculate walking
distance
without a stride measurement???
All pedometer calculations are estimates. Like you stated
depending on your
walking pace, your stride length will vary.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I don't really trust step-measuring
apps or
devices, because my steps vary significantly in length. In fact,
a
different app I tried today was off by about half a mile after a
four and
a half mile walk.

Here is a link to a pedometer app that I use. It displays time
and
distance travelled. The app can bee used with the phone in
locked mode.
You can listen to music while using the app.
The app has 5 unlabeled buttons across the bottom. They are as
follows in
this order; share on facebook, share on twitter, contact email
support,
playlist, settings. I haven't tried to label the buttons because
their
order is easy to remember. Also don't panic, the app can be used
with
metric and unit measurements. This can be changed within
settings.

Hi all,
To track my guide dog's exercise to see why he's not losing the
weight
he should, I need to see how long each of our walks is. I'm not
counting indoor travel, and I know where I am so don't need a
full gps
guidance app. I just want something that I can start, then have
it run,
preferably while my phone is locked, and will tell me how far I
went
when I stop it. Obviously, I need it to be accessible, and the
simpler
the better. Does anyone have any suggestions, or at least apps
to
avoid? I'll check www.applevis.com, of course, but I wanted to
get your
thoughts as well. Thanks.
Have a great day,
