I orginally thought my watch was more accurate but after testing it in a 5 min walk the phone seemed pretty dead on.

how accurate do you find it?

I think it's very accurate except when I am bicycling...I toss my Note 4 in the back of my Jersey so I can use mapmyride and iheartradio. But the Note seems to count bumps/jolts,etc as steps.

I used it for a few days just to confirm how much walking I was doing on an average day at work, after that, I turned it off. About 7 miles if anybody was wondering.

Yeah it is pretty accurate and compares well with the Garmin Vivofit I have been using as a pedometer for some months, I might actually stop wearing the Vivofit since the Note4 does the same thing so well.

Yes. It works ok.. there's a fair amount of false counts, like when I put my phone down sometimes. Also I walk fast, fun to see it count as running.. don't think I'm running in the hospital..Not in trauma anymore lol!

Does this feature use much battery?

Not really. I have used it on the note 3 and Note 4 and haven't noticed a significant battery drain because of it

It's fairly accurate compared to my FitBit (One - I. E. the one that's not on the wrist). The main problem with it is that it doesn't feed into MyFitnessPal. Untill it does that it's just data that I can't do anything with :/

I do. I'm fairly health conscious, but I work in a pretty sedentary office environment. It was a shock to me to see how little exercise I get on days I don't go to the gym. I like the reminders to get up from my desk and take a little walk once in awhile.

I agree similar situation, It's nice to see what I am doing and I think it will get me to walk a little more. Nice unobtrusive and seems to work well. I do wish it interfaced with more apps though.
