Walkstar is a new iOS app that pauses songs when you stop moving
There are plenty of pedometer and step counter apps in the world, but this new app has a fun twist. Walkstar, which launched Tuesday in the App Store, Walkstar is a newly launched iOS app that enhances your workout by syncing your tunes with your movement. The moment you pause, the music stops.
“I thought that was really clever and realized that the same thing could probably be accomplished with an iPhone app and that it could be a really nice motivational tool to encourage people to walk more,” Gardner said. One particularly fun aspect of Walkstar is its retro-style interface, which transforms your phone into a colorful portable cassette player, reminiscent of an old-school Walkman. There’s also a Live Activity widget for tracking step count and distance, as well as Shortcuts integration for starting and stopping walking sessions, among other features.
