Hey gang... Started a walking regimen recently, and also someone who avoids excessive phone/meat (my body/head, of course) exposure.

Are there any decent iOS apps that will count steps using ONLY the accelerometer function, so I can use app while in Airplane mode?

Ideas?
 
Why not spend $19 on a up move by jawbone. ;). Don't need the phone at all. And then update once in a while.

Get an Apple Watch. It'll sync with your iPhone but doesn't need to be with your iPhone to count your steps. And is also a lot more accurate.

I'm not sure, but I don't believe Pedometer++ by Cross Forward Consulting does. It's a really good app. Worth checking out.

As long as you have an iPhone 5S or later your step count should be available in the Health all, regardless of the cellular signal.
