Description of App

Walkmeter is the most advanced application for walkers and hikers ever designed for a mobile device. Built from the ground up for iPhone, iPad, and iCloud, it makes your iPhone a powerful fitness computer — with maps, graphs, splits, intervals, laps, announcements, zones, training plans and more.

Accessibility Comments

I have tried several pedometer Apps for my iPhone and this is by far the best. It was easy to set up using VoiceOver and is easy7 to use with VoiceOver for at least the basic functions of tracking my walk activity and analysing that in many different ways. Note that I have not tried its more advanced features for workout plans and interval training.

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labeling

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Other Comments

The basic App is free but you then have to tolerate advertisements. You can upgrade to the Elite version by a modest in-App purchase.
