Phone Inaccurately Counting? (self.walkscape)

My phone seems to inaccurately count steps, and I'm worried that could be a problem? It gives me too many steps. I counted how many steps it takes to walk from one room to another, which is around 12 - 16 steps. The app routinely gives me over 25 steps though! I'm hoping this won't be an issue? I might be over thinking.

Also, the accuracy is not as important as you may think. The app shall motivate to move more, by walking. Depending on the study you chose science suggests between 2000 and 10000 steps a day. That is a huge range and will even put the inaccuracies.

I've been more worried about the game getting upset for me walking when I'm not walking, which is entirely overthinking it! XD And it will make me move more! I moved today and visited mother for...late labor day.
