Just out of curiosity I thought I might try a STEPS counter app.
Many seem to come with all sorts of health monitoring extras, which I'm
not bothered about, but happy to enter and not use.
However there are massive differences between them on the numbers of
steps they claim I have taken and some don't appear to work at all.
I'm not wanting to start a thread about the health benefits, just to
find the simplest, accurate, free one.

 
A cheap smart watch will do it easily and accurately.

 
Jim asked for an app on his *Android phone*.
By far not everyone wants to wear one of these ugly and for all visible
"watches". And btw they are not more accurate than a smartphone.

 
I just set up 4 apps before going out. When I got back: they said I had
taken 305, or 476, or 210, or 558 steps!!!

You can't have been out for long! Or they grossly underestimate.
Why not do a test, count your steps, and see which one us best?

I see there's an NHS app: have you got that? And there are - or
 were - pedometers - maybe on ebay.
