Noom walk

Noom Walk is a new automatic pedometer for Android... The app has two main features. The first is that, unlike competitors, the pedometer does not use GPS, and therefore almost does not eat up the battery. Second, you are not just evaluating your own physical activity, but also watching your friends and jointly motivating each other.

Functions:

Automatically counts steps around the clock.

Uses less than 2% of battery (for a full 24 hours of use, it uses the same amount of battery as 20 minutes of display or three minutes of GPS).

Motivates you and your friends (you can give them highs or write a message).

100% free, no additional hardware required.

Moves

Pedometer app that doesn't require any additional devices. Moves tracks your movements: when you walk, run, ride a bike or move on any other transport (metro, car, bus), and shows your activity in the form of a tape: walked 2 km - traveled 10 km - spent so much time on work - walking again - looked into a cafe, etc.

Statistics can be viewed by day, and on the map you can see how you moved. You can find out how many steps you took, how much distance you covered, how much time you spent on the way.

The app is pretty neat in draining your phone's battery. It does not require registration, you do not need to turn it on and off every time.

Steps mania

Quite a fun application, which, in fact, differs from all the others. At the opening, it shows a sort of energetic peasant who needs to be in time everywhere. On the main screen, in addition to the usual indicators, other, in particular, motivating elements are displayed. Namely - the user is awarded various awards. Their list numbers about a dozen and a half, both positive and negative. For example, for the first marathon, or, conversely, for taking less than 100 steps within an hour.

And of course there is a community here on Google+ to chat with your girlfriends.
