Noom Walk Review

Posted on by

I’ve been using Noom Walk for almost a week. I’ve found it to be a useful little Android App, and I think you might like it too.

What is Noom Walk?

Noom Walk is a pedometer simulator for Android smart phones. I’m running it on the Evo 4g. I haven’t been able to find anything to explain HOW it works, but I’m assuming that the Evo’s sensor that determines its orientation is probably the mechanism that’s also used to count steps. If anyone knows better, please correct me in the comments.

How well does Noom Walk work?

Noom Walk’s description says that it uses very little battery power, but I’m seeing that it’s using a noticeable amount on my phone. I love the Evo, but it’s not exactly known for getting great battery life anyway, so that may be an issue more with this phone than with others.

As for accuracy, Noom Walk seems to be counting me a little on the low side. It’s nothing big, and it’s really no more inaccurate than some pedometers I’ve owned. I carry my phone in my pants pocket, so users who carry it in a case on their belt may see better accuracy than I am.

Noom Walk setup

Setup and use is super easy. The simplicity is one of the nice features of the app. There’s nothing to tweak and fiddle with really — just an app that does what it says it’s going to do.

As you can see, you fill in a few questions so Noom Walk can be more accurate, and you’re set. Noom Walk will run in the background and count your steps. It’s also smart enough to reset itself daily.

You can open the Noom Walk widget and view this screen, which gives you your steps, approximate miles, and calories burned. Noom Walk also keeps a history of how you’ve done, which is also a nice little feature.

Conclusion

Noom Walk is a great little free application to help you track your activity daily. Since my surgery, walking is just about the only exercise I’m allowed to do for now, so this application is great for me. I can estimate my daily steps without having to remember to wear a pedometer. If you’re like me, you’re much more likely to remember your cell phone!

  2. It sounds really cool. The truth is, that I usually go really far and it seems to me that I was well placed in the middle. But what is that good at it, that if I was in a period of laziness and I’m not going enough, it just might wake me pay attention to that.

  17. Thank you for informing us about this app. It sounds worth looking into. I recent began walking because I have not been able to sacrifice the time for the last four months to work out. I am told that walking is the best exercise ever. I began by just walking for 40 minutes to start with. I get a friend to walk with me and enjoy the conversation and nature. Yesterday we tried intervals: three minutes of fast walking, three minutes of conversational walking, repeat.

  21. Great info, thanks for sharing. Walking is sucj¡h a great way to either lose weight or keep it under control. It is just a great exercise. I have students approach me all the time for information about weight loss. I point them in the direction of information sharing websites like yours, thanks for your help lol.
    I run weight loss programmes through kickboxing workouts, and no I don´t hit anybody. But recently I had three students lost a total of 64 pounds between them in less than three months through my kickboxing workouts. Now I will tell them to get more inspiration from others also working on losing weight.
    Take care

  56. I guess most people carry their smartphones around most of the time, but I think I would need something smaller to strap to my arm or something, otherwise I could never get an accurate count.

  57. I didn’t have android cell phone. That’s why this android application seems new to me. Noom walk seems very useful in knowing on counting steps that one user is making.Thanks for sharing the fair and credible review of Noom walk. Maybe if I have android phone, I am going to explore its applications so that it could help me in many ways just like Noom Walk app.

    thanks

  75. I found your post very inspiring! Getting out there and being active is the most important part to weight loss! You can try every diet and program on earth but without proper exercise, you will not lose fat. I’ve tried tons of different programs my self. Great website! I just wanted to leave a quick comment before going on to reading more of your articles! If you have time please check out my blog on how to lose thigh fat.

    Thanks!
