Ionic Exercise Feature Help

Good day everyone

 

Need some help! I like to use the exercise feature but I'm running into a problem that's sort of inconvenient. If I activate the feature during a workout, I'm unable to multitask. For instance, go back to the home screen, check notifications, advance songs on my MP3 etc. I'm stuck in the exercise app if you will. Is there a way around this?? Really frustrating!! 

 

Thank You

For notifications while on exercise mode long press the bottom right button.

For advancing music track long press the top right button. This will take you to music player from where you can advance your tracks. After you finish press the left button and you will return to your exercise screen.

You can't multitask while in exercise mode. You can swipe down to get to music controls, but it's just basic forward/backward and volume up/down. You can't change playlists once you have started an exercise. 

As for the other stuff, like going back to the home screen or checking notifications, you can't do that. I think there is a feature suggestion to change that, because it is super annoying, but as of right now, nope, can't multitask except for basic music controls.
