Moves for iPhone Automatically Tracks Your Every Step Throughout the Day

iOS: You won't find a shortage of activity monitors in the iTunes App Store, but Moves is a very simple app that tracks your daily activity without the need for an external device or extraneous social features.

Moves works in a couple of different ways. First off, it's a simple pedometer that can track how many steps you take a day. It can also automatically differentiate between walking, running, and cycling. On top of that, it also tracks your GPS data so you can see where you go throughout the day, how you get there, and how long you spend there. The whole thing is automatic and runs in the background, so if you take a walk, then jump on a bicycle, there's no need to open up the app and change any settings—Moves knows what you're doing. At the end of the day, you can view where you've gone (and how you got there) in a simple timeline.

Of course, this all comes at the detriment of a battery life, but your phone should make it through the day with normal usage. That said, if you're interested in tracking your daily activities without worrying about sharing it on social networks (Moves has a pretty solid Privacy Policy too), or buying a gadget, Moves does the job well.
