Awesome! Thanks for supporting BB10!

Does it have a HRM function?

[InspiroSoftware]

Great to see this thread. I'm one of Sportrate developers and want to say that HRM support is very important for us. It is certain that it will be included in one of the future releases, but we have to be sure that it will work properly. Moreover, in December we'll release an update with completely new functions preparing Sportrate for new activities. Follow our fanpages to be up to date.

I would also like to see altitude and total feet climbed added to the screens. Maybe let the user select what information they would like to show. Each sport could have different screens.

Best sports tracking app for free

Love the layout of the info on this app. But the interpretation of the GPS data is interesting. I just did a 5+ mile walk, exported the data to GPX format, imported in into Endomondo, and compared:

Sportrate said:
5.43 miles
84.5 minutes
3.85 mpg ave speed
152 kcal

Endomondo used the Sportrate GPS data and came up with:
5.82 miles
84.5 minutes
4.1 mpg ave speed
1,005 kcal burned

That's quite a difference. And the Endomondo data "feels" more correct. Wonder why the difference?

[Foppa_21]

There's a reference to "high quality maps" but when I go to my history and pull up a workout, I can't zoom in on the map. Or am I missing something?

I'd also like to see the charts support landscape mode, which would make them easier to read on my Z10.

I really want to find and use a good native BB10 app instead of Endomondo, which is an Android port, but Endomondo does some nice stuff when it comes to post run/ride/walk stats. CascaRun tracker has nice post workout stats as well. Especially a time-line slider bar that will retrace your steps on the map. Again, love the interface of Sportrate better than anything else I've seen. I went ahead and bought the license, so I hope development continues.

I thought that the Endomondo calories looked high. A quick google found this which is obviously a range/weight


143lbs - 3mph - 20mins/mile - 4 miles - 303 calories - 75/mile
143lbs - 3mph - 20mins/mile - 5 miles - 379 calories - 75/mile

143lbs - 4mph - 15mins/mile - 4 miles - 325 calories - 81/mile
143lbs - 5mph - 12mins/mile - 4 miles - 406 calories - 101/mile

[Foppa_21]

Yep, 1000 is a little high since there wasn't much in terms of elevation. At my weight 215 (I am 6' 4" :-)) the calculation I found said about 700 calories. So not 1000, but way more than 150.

I can confirm, that Sportrate will count calories a lot more accurately in the next release. There will be fields to specify your weight etc. Coming soon.

Anyone use this for cross country skiing?

[djtest113]

Would it be possible to enhance the app with connection to e.g. runtastic.com?
Since runtastic isn't able to offer a native app, but a buggy Android port for 4,49�...

That would be so cool, i'd even pay for it.

And is ist possible to add more sports, like Crosstrainer e.g..?
Could that also track the movements when phone is strapped to the arm?

[Me2]

Or a site with an open API and links to other platform's apps, e.g. MyFitnessPal?

We're adding new activities, but all require GPS connection. Maybe we will add some NON-GPS activities in another release.

We don't plan to do that at this moment. I'm also afraid that Runtastic doesn't provide required APIs.
But you can use GPX Export option with other services instead.(Runtastic probably doesn't support GPX) It is already implemented in our app.

[Me2]

The Runtastic web site will allow you to manually import GPX. Any comment on MyFitnessPal? Its handy to have your workouts logged as part of a wider keep fit campaign (diet etc.) which the Runtastic and other apps can do automatically, and I believe they are open to new partners.

[InspiroSoftware]

This feature would be great, but for now we do not plan to add this.
I'm sure that we'll think about it in the future.

[Erik_V]

I second the connection to MyFitnessPal. Use that with Endomondo all the time. Would pay for this feature. However, will not use the app without this feature. Will stick with the Endomondo port until such time as Sportrate has this feature.

[Foppa_21]

New version out. Better calorie counting along with some other fixes. Thanks guys.

[InspiroSoftware]

[Wolfgan]

Nice app, thx for all the functionality.

Yes, please add a non GPS activity if you can. Complementing gym sessions are worth to be logged to have a good track of all training performed (time spent, heart rate) and where no GPS is needed (approx location by cell at start may be worthy, as it doesn't consume additional energy nor needs clear sky view).
Thanks, Wolf

Would you like to specify details like distance, avg speed by yourself, or just use Sportrate for counting time and HR? We've a busy time at studio, so I can't tell you the date of release which will include this feature.

If the fields are present in GPS activities then yes, manual input won't hurt data format consistency, but a notes field would be good as well (ie to note fix cycling sessions, or anaerobic training)
Thx again!

I'd still like to see two new features:

1. a pause button

2. Average pace/speed as an option.

For me, pace always seems to jump around, especially when walking. Average pace (in MPH or minutes per mile), would smooth that out.

I love the layout, so ideally the user can choose "average" or "current" for both pace and speed.
