RE: Actifit Major Announcement: Move AFIT To Steem-Engine. AFITX Our New Exclusive Token Announced - Detailed Dive. Airdrop Announce. Daily Updates

in #actifit5 years ago

That's super awesome, but I'd like to see the App itself having cool features added!

As a cyclist and 'senior' user of Actifit I must say that the only reason I've stopped using the App is just because it became impossible to meet the 5k steps on a bicycle, thus the fun of chasing top scores ended.

Lately a quick 50km MTB ride gave me 1100 steps, where once it used to yield at least 10k with the same setup (phone on my handlebar). Last year the max I could reach was near 30k steps on a 100km ride. - Either my phone is a big poop or the App needs a better measurement system for bikes, like taking into account calories burned? distance? gps tracking?

Some will say that I should put my cellphone on my socks, but is it really viable on a mountain bike adventure crossing rivers and rocks, sweating like crazy?

I'm sorry for my criticism, I'm generally ultra reserved when it comes to my own opinions, but I DO like the ideas behind the project and its proven its value when it comes do adoption, but the way it is at the moment it's unusable.

Sort:  

Nah not in yah socks but like i see runners have the phone on there arm, you could get it for ya leg! like a holster :) Nice waterproof thing! Your still on the road?
It works fine as a step counter, and the dev team's work has been great considering the price of steem and alts in general. We are lucky they obviously have a good hodl or they would go bankrupt! :)

Do we want Gps tracking on it? :) uuuhhh but maybe if its optional, then thats innovative, not all of use like to use that stuff. Happy to see your still on chain dude!

Hoah, @movingman, I'm still on the chain and still one hella of a supporter of Actifit - I still don't like the idea of carrying my phone on my legs though, it's not handy at all especially on the road where I need it to check maps all the time or where it's very vulnerable to the many variables of a bike adventure \o\

I'm not on the road, I'm back home, but hopefully I'll find my way again and find motivation to travel/post.

I missed this reply! Wasnt being rude :P Ah you pussy what happened to go old fashioned map and a compass :) I cant wait to travel again but im in no hurry atm!

HAhaha duuuude, good old paper map is the way to go indeed! I'm no hurry too, mainly because I'm broke af \o\

hey no worries @mrprofessor!
Im starting to think your phone model has special limitations with Actifit, as apparently it is one of the few still not able to capture activity adequately.
I hope we can find better ways to help you with this.

Superb, it might be, it's the same phone I've been using for years now, even for Actifit since it was launched.
