Installation & Permissions FAQ
Why does the app ask for location access?
Android ties continuous background access to your phone's step-counter sensor to the location permission — that's an Android platform requirement, not something we chose. This app does not collect, store, or transmit your location. Your step data stays on your device.
What happens if I deny the permission?
The app can still count steps while it's open, but Android blocks background step counting without it — so your daily total won't update when the app isn't on screen. If your step count seems stuck, this is almost always why.
How do I fix step counting that isn't working?
Go to your phone's Settings → Apps → Pedometer → Permissions, and set Location to "Allow all the time." This takes one tap and doesn't require reinstalling the app.
Is the app free? Yes, the core free pedometer is free and will stay free.
