Alpine Snow - Support

[JonFitbit]

I am the developer of the new Alpine Snow app for Fitbit OS. Feel free to ask any questions or post details of any problems. I don't actually live near mountains or snow, so I may need to make some adjustments to the runs algorithm.

Is there a way to amend the activity type from "bike" after synchronization via the Fitbit dashboard?

I think I read in this thread that "bike" is a workaround to enable the (max) speed data to be captured. Hopefully the activity API can be updated to support additional sports, like skiing and snowboarding with those additional stats.

One little bit of feedback... I didn't spot the padlock icon for ages when using the app in bright sunlight which resulted in lots of accidental pauses and exits.

This is the support thread George. You can unsubscribe for notifications when people reply.

@LeiChat You might be able to edit the activity, but it may affect how it's displayed (GPS track etc).

I attempted to use this app while skiing, and had a problem with "connecting"...I bought the Versa for this purpose. Disappointed that the app didn't work for me during this trip.

I am just back from Austria.  And I used this app  in conjunction with fitbit ionic. And all I can saw is thank you. It has appeared to work well.. it registers as a cycle

Good day

I have an ICONIC and have tried to locate your App on the Fitbit App under health and fitness. It does not appear in the menu. Any advice?

Cheers

Hello @Alexsa ,

open this link from your mobile

[Flissb]

Hey,

Love the app, however when it uploads onto my fitbit it classes it as a bike ride instead of snowboard, is there any way to change this?

Thanks

Hi,

will the new fitbit sense be supported in future? 

Would be really great to have a ski tracker on this device too😊

[swolczko09]

Loved using this on my versa so much! Any chance there might be a sense update?

[ThierryR]

Will the app become available for Versa 3? Looking forward to use this on my next skitrip!

[elb20]

Hello,

please make this app compatibile with fitbit versa 3 ☹️❤️ Is there any chance? 

[ekek1212]

please advise since i would like to use it soon

thanks

[Giwplay1]

Nope. I have a versa. Saw it on my watch at the end of the day. But never again. 

[jaimerd64]

This is a very old thread. But is this app in the works to be available for the new Sense?

[3v1n0]

Hi, I've ported the app to work in Versa 3 and Sense, the PR is at https://github.com/orviwan/alpine-snow/pull/7

I hope @JonFitbit can review it (and publish when ready), should work the same as it used to be, a part few different UI interactions.

[jaimerd64]

I can't thank you enough for the very quick resolution. Cant wait to try
out the app on my sense this weekend. Just added it! Thanks again!

[ekek1212]

How do I install it?

[3v1n0]

Faster way is to clone the repository and build it using the SDK using this guide: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/guides/command-line-interface/

Hey, 

I was just wondering if the app could log the exercise as skiing rather than a bike ride. Otherwise I really love the app.
