Standup Paddleboard app logging activity as Aerobic Exercise

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

So in the Fitbit app under “apps” there is a new SUP Standup Paddleboard app we can add to Ionic.  All well n good except after paddle boarding all that shows is an “aerobic exercise” in Fitbit app.  No SUP designation.  Why allow a new app without adding designation for SUP?  

And no individual exercises sync with MFP exceptbfor what is on their precious little list. I am about to jump to the dark side to Apple.

SUP always records as “walking” in Fitbit app

 

when I use Strava to log SUP that doesn’t sync at all to Fitbit and we always have to carry our phone in water because you can’t record from Strava app

 

in order for Ionic to recognize my SUP activity I have to log it as bicycle;

 

when I choose Pilates, it shows in Fitbit app correctly but won’t sync at all with MFP. If I log it separate in MFP then it backward syncs again to Fitbit and double my calorie burn

 

This all makes me exhausted and thinking of Apple Watch.

Any exercise that is not on my “favorites list” will not sync.  Like Pilates, surfing, kayaking etc.
