[SportsandRec] Looking for a Fitbit and questions about exercise apps?

[Rod Maccoux]

Hi Dacia,

Have you tried using the iSmoothRun app?  

Here is a description with a link to it below that.  It is only $4.95, and very accessible with VoiceOver.  I don't know what you are tracking, or if you use a treadmill, but this might be less costly than a Fit Bit band and work better.

Description

iSmoothRun is the best App to effectively track and log all of your running, walking, hiking, cycling and any other fitness activity you like. Solid performance.
Continuous development. Best sensor and external display support. 

The best stand alone Apple Watch app, with configurable pages and solid performance that puts to shame any sports watch.

Connect your BT sensors to your watch and leave your phone home.

Best Interval and workout editor to help you follow your training plan. Create any workout based on HR, HR Zone, Pace and let the app pace you. Workouts
are available on the Apple Watch too with full Audio support! Even Power based workouts are supported for stryd footpods or cyclists.

Subject: [SportsandRec] Looking for a Fitbit and questions about exercise apps?

I have a couple of questions. My Fitbit band appears to have been broken, where can I buy a new band for my Fitbit flex two? Links would be appreciated. Also, do you find it worth having the Fitbit premium app or are you just a satisfied with regular Fitbit? How accessible is Fitbit coach? Is there a way to set it for indoor walking? I see an option for outdoor walking, but where I’m at isn’t as conducive to that. If you don’t recommend Fitbit coach, are there other apps thatencourage walking and using the stairs inside?
Thanks In advance for your help,
Dacia
