[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] DoesntPostAThing:
Hello everyone, I have been working on a beautiful pedometer app with new material design that keeps track of how many steps you've taken to promote a healthier lifestyle. Be it walking, jogging, hiking, running, or any other activity, you'll find this app useful in keeping track of your stats. How this is different from most other pedometer apps is that with the hardware step sensor, this app uses almost no additional battery so you can keep it running all day. In my testing I noticed no difference in battery life between a day with Pedometer running and a day without it.

From the Google Play description:

There is also a pro version you can buy if you'd like to support me. This pro version currently adds a distance counter, so you can see how far you've walked all day. I plan on adding more pro-only features in the future, such as a widget or custom themes. But don't worry, the free version will still be perfectly capable of serving as your daily pedometer. If a feature is extremely popular within the pro version I'll consider adding it to the free version as well.

Downloads: Free version, Pro version ($2.99)

I have used only three permissions. One is start on boot. This is used to start counting as soon as you start the device. The other two are write (and therefore read) external storage. This is used solely for the purpose of exporting logs to assist with debugging if the need arises. Don't worry, your data is safe, and this app will not be sending away any of your information.

If you have any questions of suggestions feel free to contact me, I try to respond within the same day.

V2 and Material Design

In the recent Pedometer V2 update I completely rewrote the app with material design in mind. This rewrite squashed most if not all bugs from previous version, and includes several beautiful new themes following Google's Material Design guidelines. However, due to several limitations, the apks uploaded on the Play Store are not able to use the Android L APIs and consequently are missing a few L-only features such as elevations and the ripple effect. I hope that once L is officially released Google will release a compatibility library and these UI enhancements are able to make their way to all devices. However, for now, if your device is running Android L preview, and you would like to enjoy true material elements, I have uploaded the apks compiled using API level L.

Download links for Android-L version: Free, Pro

Note: Both the free and pro version are available for download here for free. However, the pro version will verify the license with Google Play servers on launch. To ensure pro features are enabled, please purchase the pro version on the Play Store. Otherwise pro versions will be disabled and the app will function fine with the feature set of the free version.
