Terms of Use

Last updated: September 6, 2026

1. Agreement

By downloading or using Podo (bundle identifier com.tarasenko.pedometer, “the App”), you agree to these Terms of Use. The App is provided by Siarhei Tarasenka, an independent developer — “we”, “us”. If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the App.

2. Licence

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the App on Apple devices that you own or control, in accordance with the App Store Terms of Service and Apple’s Licensed Application End User License Agreement. The App is licensed, not sold, to you.

3. The App is not a medical device

Podo is a fitness and wellbeing app. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical advice. Step counts, distances, calories, the sleep score, energy reserve, stress index, recovery score and every AI-generated text are estimates produced from sensor data, provided for general information only.

Do not use the App to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Always consult a qualified healthcare professional about your health, before starting a new exercise routine, and before acting on anything the App shows you. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you read in the App. In an emergency, contact your local emergency services.

4. AI-generated content

The daily digest is generated by a large language model from your aggregated daily metrics. Such text can be incomplete, inaccurate or simply wrong, and two days with similar numbers may produce different wording. Treat it as a prompt for your own judgement, not as a factual or clinical statement.

5. Subscriptions

Podo PRO is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks the AI daily digest. Everything else in the App is free. Two plans are offered: an annual plan and a weekly plan; the weekly plan includes a 3-day free trial for new subscribers.

  • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account when you confirm the purchase.
  • The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.
  • Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before the end of the current period, at the price of the plan you selected.
  • You can manage or cancel a subscription in your Apple ID account settings after purchase. Deleting the App does not cancel a subscription.
  • If a free trial is offered, any unused portion is forfeited when you purchase a subscription, where that applies.
  • Prices vary by region and may change; where required, changes are announced in advance and take effect at the next renewal.
  • Purchases, billing questions and refunds are handled by Apple under App Store policy — we cannot process refunds ourselves.

6. Acceptable use

Do not reverse engineer, decompile or modify the App except where that right cannot be excluded by law; do not resell or redistribute it; do not interfere with, overload or attempt automated access to the digest service; do not use the App in any unlawful way.

7. Intellectual property

The App, its source code, design, icons and texts are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright. Your health data is yours — these Terms give us no ownership of it, and how it is handled is described in the Privacy Policy.

8. Third-party services

The App relies on Apple HealthKit, WeatherKit and the App Store, and the digest feature relies on the OpenAI API. Their own terms and privacy policies govern their part of the service. We are not responsible for outages or changes on their side.

9. Availability and changes

The App is provided “as is” and “as available”. We may add, change or discontinue features, and we do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that any metric will be accurate. Data shown depends on your device sensors, connected wearables and what Apple Health provides.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from decisions you make based on the App. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for the App in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot be excluded by law, including your mandatory consumer rights.

11. Apple

These Terms are between you and us, not with Apple. We, not Apple, are solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the App and is not responsible for addressing any claim relating to it, including product liability, regulatory compliance or intellectual property claims. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce them against you.

12. Termination

You may stop using the App at any time by deleting it. We may suspend or terminate access if these Terms are breached.

13. Changes to these Terms

Updated terms are published on this page with a new date. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept it.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the developer’s country of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-law provisions of the country where you live.
