I was pretty stoked when posted about #actifit today. I mean, what perfect timing!
The trio and I were going to take the dogs out for a walk anyway so I decided to download the app and give it a try.
It doesn't work. 👎
Leaving my house was over 30 steps. Going all the way to the end of our alley brought us to a total of just over 100 steps.
So far so good. So we walk down to Lincoln Park and hit the Miller Creek Hiking Trails for 45 minutes. We went further into this track of the woods than we ever have before, taking trails we have never encountered before.
I decided it was time to turn around and checked the #actifit tracker. In all that time, we only made 509 steps. INCLUDING the over 100 steps before we even got to the park.
Well, clearly it isn't working. But, it's Beta Version so, hopefully it gets fixed.
What really kills me about it is that we took the EXACT SAME PATH home as we took heading out. It only clocked us at 623 steps.
509 to get out there... 114 to get all the way back? Riiiiight...
So I get home, get the kids off to get themselves ready for bed and start writing but I could not post because it had not met the requirements for the minimum of 1,000 steps.
I met the 1,000 step requirement in SECONDS by rocking the phone back and forth maybe 20 times.
I'm really super sore from the hike, but once I am feeling up to it again I will get a different app. I want to know how far we actually went.
Love to you! Hopefully they fix it! tracked today a total of 1022 steps via Actifit Fitness Tracker
