Hello there,
I'd like to ask if there is any development scheduled to add more features to the swimming tracker on the Ionic.
The whole Fitbit app is strongly based on social competition. What makes me and all my friends really enjoying the app is the challenges and the way how it motivates us to do better every day/week.
But while the Fitbit app is based on getting the best of its users from steps counting, unfortunately, the experience is incomplete as some of the activities don't count as "steps".
I love swimming, and when I can understand that GPS and heartbeats tracking may be a challenge in water, the swimming app on the Ionic could still do some conversion in steps, based on the pool length/stride for example.
I don't know if it may be the best way to do it, but it would make some sort of sense to have a converting formula such as [total distance swam / stride lenght]. It would not be the most accurate, as it would not take in account heartbeat/effort, but it would still have a great impact on all the swimmers' challenge, not having much time to 'walk' or 'run' in addition to their swimming sessions.
Is it something possible to add?
Please vote if you are swimming with you Ionic as well. 🙂
Thanks.
