Ionic exercise tracking

[jdschwem]

I am interested in knowing if the ionic tracker will be set up to track kayaking? I currently track my distance and calories burned using my phone's app and transfer the information to the fitbit app to get the heart rate info. It would be much easier if I didn't need to do the extra steps. I am looking forward to not having to worry so much about getting wet. Currently use alta hr.

I have no idea, but I can say the open SDK means that anyone can create apps for the ionic. If you have a programming background you can even create an app just for you and your friends. If you don't have a programming background; I'll bet you might know someone who does. In fact if you've ever created a web page  you could probably use the software to develop your own kayaking app. I'm making a few assumptions about the software development kit here, but it looks like the open SDK is going to a huge feature of this watch.

I hope they add it. With paddle sports gaining more of an audience, it would be great to track it. Plus I hate that I can paddle 3 miles and only get credit for 1500 steps....

I hope they add kayaking to the trackable exercises like swimming, running, walking and biking.
