I've seen a couple of people mention MyFitessPal which is a great iphone App (and website). One thing that I really like is that you and link your FitBit account and your MyFitnessPal account and they share information. For example, MyFitnessPal will give me extra calories based on more steps recorded with my FitBit.
Ha! I've found the iPhone app to be pretty accurate with steps and mileage and wildly variable with flights. Yesterday, without climbing many stairs, I was credited with 35 flights. Today, with fairly similar activity, including climbing 5 flights to our Sunday school class and descending 5 flights about 45 minutes later, I was credited with an amazing 4 flights . Great thoughts about the FitBit and MyFitnessPal.
