I recently downloaded a pedometer app to my smart 'phone. It was fine recording my daily walks of two miles along the beach front and back for a week. However, suddenly yesterday it recorded three miles instead of two for the same distance. I was helping out at a charity event at our parish church during the morning and had my bag on the floor behind a screen where there was a lot of footfall on the granite slabs. I wonder if a mechanism in the app. was so sensitive, it actually picked up other peoples movements? Any ideas, please?

You could be right Tuaim. I have very recently got a Fitbit and realised from the start that the steps it's recording are more than I'm walking. I assume that as it's a watch, it registers arm movements. I must stop gesticulating 
My smart watch works out how many steps you have done by recording the arm swings. It is very interesting to see the prodigious number of miles I clock up after I have been conducting my choir!
