Yes .. for those that just love STEPS

Watch your Steps accumulate on the VivoactiveHR

You can count a bit if you like to test things and see how your VAHR awards steps .. or just see how many steps you earn during your favorite activity.

Walk your Dog .. see your steps

Grocery Store .. see your steps

That 3 mile walk or run .. see your steps

Walk anywhere .. see your steps

A very simple app .. just for those that like cool things.

Step Z .. does NOT in any way alter your steps for the day, it is just a counter for those that love to measure things.

    I have Step z on my vivoactive HR- records steps well but won't sync onto my computer (my vivoHR is not compatible with my phone). Syncing happens automatic with my runs and cycles- any ideas?

    StepZ does not send any data to Garmin Connect, however your steps you see in the application will be included in your daily steps that will get sent to Garmin Connect when you sync.
