MANUAL & DAILY SESSIONS

Footsteps has two kinds of sessions - Manual & Daily.
Manual sessions are turned on by default.
You decide when to start, pause, reset and save a manual session.
If you don't need such a precise control and instead you prefer Footsteps to count the steps every time you run it use Daily sessions instead.
To switch to Daily Session Mode go to Settings, tap on Sessions in 'Display & Mode' section and select 'Daily Only'.
You won't see Start/Pause/Resume button and 'Save & Reset' option anymore since a Daily session will be started and saved automatically for you.

HISTORY MODULE

Browse the sessions from the newest to the oldest or grouped by today, current week or months.
Tap on any of the groups to see all the sessions in the group.
Tap on any single session to view, delete or share it (Email (with CSV attachment), SMS, Twitter or Facebook).
You can also edit any session if the dates or values are for some reason incorrect.
Footsteps has also a batch mode in which you can share or delete more than one session at once.

IPOD MUSIC

You can either continue to listen to your iPod playlist or define a separate one just for Footsteps.

Customer Reviews

Nice (5 stars)
Very cool

Don't waste your time! (1 star)
It doesn't work right.

One Problem (4 stars)
This App is great! It counts distance, steps, & calories burned. You can play music while you walk/run, and a graph shows your progress. One problem: it only goes to 3000 steps. After that you can never use (unless you buy the dollar version).
