Accessibility Comments
I have tried several pedometer Apps for my iPhone and this is by far the best. It was easy to set up using VoiceOver and is easy7 to use with VoiceOver for at least the basic functions of tracking my walk activity and analysing that in many different ways. Note that I have not tried its more advanced features for workout plans and interval training.
