Generally Happy

[Tsj4]

In all, I am much more excited about this version of the application and have been using it much more often. The summarize generally help to keep me motivated to continue the next day and much more effective then traditional gamification. I am also enjoying the workouts and it has helped me increase the weights during lifting activities. Also when my schedule changes, a quick conversation with the ai chat quickly adjust my schedule. 

Biggest misses

- Exercises mislabeled ( Leg Curl is actually Lying Leg Curl )

- when using ai to adjust today's routine, replacements are not included in completed summary

- not able to add new exercises

- unable to start watch session from Fitbit Mobile app, or vice versa

@Tsj4 you've made some great observations! I hope you will also consider reporting things in the app (the thumbs up/thumbs down thing) when appropriate. 

As for your list of misses...

1) Definitely report mislabeled exercises whenever you see them. I've caught a few of those too and they were fixed fast after I reported them. 

2) After you edit the exercises in a workout, the summary will not reflect your changes. If you have AI move the workout to another day, the summary will update. Then you can move it back to the correct day. I know that doesn't solve the problem, but it's a temporary work around until they get this solved. 

3) Can you provide more details about this? I'm not sure what you mean. 

4) With the very early Fitbits, which were basically just pedometers, we could launch exercise tracking in the app. That feature is still in the regular app (not the Public Preview), but it's not really supported. I'm not sure whether they have any plans to bring it back.

@alexthecat My take on that third point, from what I've seen, is that the database of available exercises is very limited.

One example from my particular exercises - I do chin-up grip lat pulldowns with my trainer. The only lat pulldown options are narrow grip and wide grip. My trainer said that those are similar workouts, and they all target the lats, but they each target different secondary muscles. However, I can't add chin-up grip lat pulldowns to my routines, since they're not in the available database.

Another example is shoulder presses. The database shows one with dumbbells, but that's not what I do. A machine shoulder press is somewhat different than a dumbbell shoulder press (I can't explain how, but I could ask my trainer if you need that info).

@amymurray122 it's still early days for this app version. From what I've seen, more exercises are being added all the time. If you notice specific things that are missing, it's helpful to give feedback about that in the app.
