MobileRun Data should Count Toward Badges or Stop Overriding Device Data

[carla-p]

I love the new MobileRun features, but can't believe total steps accumulated during a run override FitBit tracker data!  And Mobile data doesn't count toward badges.  A feature like MobileRun needs to be compatible with the rest of your system and tracking (count toward badges, etc)!

OR the feature should map the run only and leave it to the device to track steps so Mobile Data doesn't override.

This should be a feature to vote on, this is a bug. No user would EVER imagine that using Track My Exercise would disable Challenges. Seriously? We have to vote on bug fixes?

[GerryP]

Pretty bizarre that a bug fix should be considered an enhancement!

[Carats]

Nonsense to be voting to ensure existing (and widely promoted) features actually work together!

[carla-p]

Agreed, agreed!!  What can be done about this?

[SailingEric]

Do this, vote for this feature.

A variation of this feature has been implemented. If you use MobileRun while wearing your Fitbit tracker your steps count towards Challenges, badges, and achievements.

@carla-p This feature currently exists! If you wear your tracker while you use MobileRun, data will count towards both badges and Challenges. Click here for more details.

Thank you for sharing your idea with us on the Feature Request Board!
