Several years later an the iOS app still only tracks 'Run, Walk, Hike'?

Is there any way to get more options added here? While the Fitbit itself is great and simple to use to track, minimal options in todays realm of activities has me looking for a better device/app.

Hi, @kezekiel64! As far as tracking from within the app, those are your only options, since it relies on your phone's GPS to track your motion. Most of the trackers themselves are capable of auto tracking much more than just that. There are some phones that are also capable of using Mobile Track, which uses your phone's accelerometer to track your steps during the day, rather than the MobileRun (the GPS version), which tracks a single activity.
