That did work, thank you for that. It does speak randomly while you are
working out but it is as accurate as it was with ios 6.

Hi,
Is this iTreadmill you are refering too? If so, I haven't used it for a
while as I have been slack on the treadmil.
I have found the following bug in iTreadmill which seems to have been
introduced in iOS7. If in settings, you have Screen Blanking set to on,
iTreadmill, It doesn't count steps correctly, if at all. If you set Screen
Blanking to off, Itreadmill will then work correctly.
I am currently trying Pacer, which does run in the background and you can
toggle off location services so that it just uses the accelorometer. It
doesn't show as much information as iTreadmill, but looks good so far and it
is fully accessible.

On the other hand, when I get on the treadmill, I often find that when I
have double tapped the start/ pause button and started walking, it didn't
actually start and my distance covered in my walk is zero. Discouraging
news as you wipe away the sweat I can tell you! If anyone can give me a
hint on how I know I've really got it started I would really appreciate
it.
I would also appreciate corroboration or correction that you cannot leave
the app and load something else and have it run in the background.
Thanks!

Hi, not only that, but pedometer apps which rely on gps have 2 flaws. 1,
they don't work on treadmills, 2 they don't work reliably even if you are
walking outside because of how gps doesn't track exact movement and it
can't
figure out where you go until you have moved usually 30 feet or more in
one
direction. What if you decide to do your walking in circles?

Thanks for those that recommended apps. I ultimatley decided on
iTreadMill, since though it has a lot of options on what to track, it
also had what I was looking for. Unlike other apps, it does not appear
to use GPS and thus drain battery, which is also good.

Greetings. I am wanting to get an accessible pedometer app. I have
tried searching on the App Store but over 300 results show up. I've
looked on AppleVis, but most of the apps that come up are several
years old. I want an ap that will count my steps and tell me the
distance that i have walked. I do not want one of the exercise games.
Also,if the app were free that would be good too. I have an iPhone 5
with iOS 7, for whatever that's worth.
Regards,
Wayne
