Did you test the privacy aware SECUSO Research Group pedometer app?

How did it do?

 
No better than the others except no advertising.
The numbers of steps counted were particularly low.

Thanks for letting us know, where there's also no Internet account needed
so they can't sell your activity data to anyone because they don't have it.

Also it provides nice graphs of your activity, and since there is no flat
land within miles of where I live, it also provides an elevation profile.

Most of the apps might give you all those activity analysis graphs though.

What you might want to do given you tested a number of apps is find the
average, and then select and app that you like that was close to the mean.
