ACTIFIT APP - Android Tutorial
Almost 2 months of its launch, the @actifit app has come to change steemians way of thinking & acting!
Actifit app already has more than 800 downloads and more than 150 users on a daily basis who cover the minimum of 5000 steps, posting their results on the steem block chain.
The outcome? They stay active, fit, improve their cardio respiratory system and get rewarded for it by earning actifit tokens + steemit upvotes! (AFIT)
What do I need to download and run the app?
Any smartphone with android will do.
Preferable android version greater than 4.0.3
Size of app: 5.04 MB
STEP 1
Click https://bit.ly/actifit-app or visit playstore and search for actifit
Click on Install and give it a few moments (It is a small in size app so it will be installed in no time)
STEP 2
Click on the icon at your screen to get acquainted with the app
Once you tap the app icon, you will see the below screen:
Your total activity (It starts over after midnight) and the below buttons:
Button: POST TO STEEMIT

The app will be tracking your movement as you are walking, jogging, doing household chores, walk the dog or whatever activity you are performing.

Thank you for your kind words! As the app is very new, still in beta, it is only in English at the moment. However there are plans for its translation in many languages.

For IPhone I don't see a small icon on top of my phone when it runs on the background.
What does measurement US or metric mean?
And I have a feeling that there is a bug that causes it not to track all my movement. Do you suffer the same on an Android phone?
Hi! Thanks so much for commenting.
There are indeed some minor differences between IOS and Android Version.
For instance Android has the option 'enable aggressive tracking', while IOS does not have it
Regarding Measurements US or Metric: if you use meters or kilometers instead of feet or miles, you are using the metric system.
About the bug you mention, I believe there was an update available yesterday but it is better to join us at Discord where the Devs can help you more :)
Again, thanks for dropping by!
