Health app steps translated to mile are not consistent

iPhone 6 health app. The steps translated to miles are different for my sister than for me. I took less steps and got more miles even though we were walking together.

I stop using the built in health app, as the miles are way off..


i.e I thought I was running 4 miles using the health app, until I downloaded Strava, Nike Run Cub and fitness 22 run and it showed that I was only running 2.78 miles instead of the 4 miles.


Search for a 3rd party app, as the health app hasn't been reliable.
