Fitstar Audio Run & Walk

[mjstank]

I do not know if this has already been posted or not but from my search I have not been able to find it. Has anyone used the new audio run & walk within fitstar. It looks like it would be a good way to be motivated to start moving more but I have not tried it yet. Please let me know if you have used this and if you like it or not. Thanks.

I liked it. It helped me  make my walk more like an exercise.

I'm getting ready to try it today, actually. Going for a walk with the kids. 🙂

Where is this feature? I've looked all over the fitbit app and fitstar app (on iOS and online) and can't find it...am I blind?

Thanks!

[Fatoskp]

I use iPhone. A friend who is on an android phone did not find it either. Being a beta release it may not be available in all platforms.

[swduncan]

I use iPhone as well - where do you find it? Is under programs?

It is under the burger button on the left top. Run and walk-beta

I noticed once I completed 20 sessions BETA went away. Can anyone else confirm that.

It's been on and off for me recently too. Super annoyed!

I think this option disappeared after the latest update (on IOS) to 2.41.1.

I like the run and walk sessions so sent an inquiry to Fitstar support. Hope I get reply sooner.

[Cyberwiz]

Below is the reply I received from Fitstar support. 

On 10/09/2017, We are temporarily removing the "Audio Run/Walk - Beta" option from the Fitstar app menu.

On 10/17/2017, don't worry this option will be available again as part of our rebranding of Fitstar to Fitbit Coach. We hope for your understanding with this matter.

So welcome to the new rebranded Fitbit Coach 🙂

[Fatoskp]

Thanks for your update. I too was disappointed when it disappeared.

[swduncan]

Thanks - if I understand the message correctly perhaps we'll see something new today?

I never did get the run walk beta on my account, but I'm looking forward to trying it. 

[Cyberwiz]

This is what I was told by Fitstar support.

[richiescarfo]

Evidently the 17th launch date for FitStar Coach has been missed 😕 

[Cyberwiz]

By one day I think. Updating the Fitbit Coach now.

[Esya]

I also have the e-mail announcing it launched. Looking forward to the audio walks. Never tried it before.

[Cyberwiz]

Yes they are all there now. Outdoor walks and outdoor runs.

[Fatoskp]

But none are free 😢

[Fatoskp]

But none are free, all requires a premium membership 😞  

They could have offer at least one of each free!
