Not every program in Apple's new software store is a winner. Our least favorite application in the healthcare and fitness category was Steps. This pedometer program uses the iPhone's built-in accelerometer to measure the number of steps a user takes. Unfortunately, it simply isn't accurate. In testing, it seemed to register only one of every two or three steps we took. It's a worthy idea that could be useful if its accuracy were improved, but at $1.99, save your money for Super Monkey Ball ($9.99).
