Changes needed! – Runtastic Steps - Pedometer Review

Based on my experiences with fitness wearables and smartwatches: don't get a Runtastic Orbit; get a Pebble Time, an iOS-compatible smartwatch at the same price point. On a Pebble, you can order an Uber, track sports scores, reply to text messages, track fitness, control music as you work out, and do just about everything with over 8000 apps to choose from. ----- Review of this app: After spending $100 on Orbit, Runtastic asks you to spend $49.99 a year more to "Go Gold" in this app and get history and more goals. (Are you kidding, Runtastic? Misfit, your rival, has this for free AND their tracker is only $19!) Some things you need to improve: —Happy tracking is pointless. But one really needed thing is sports tracking: how about when I double-click orbit's button, without my phone needed, it gives me options to track sports like tennis, basketball, soccer, cycling, etc. —The Garmin Vívosmart, at a similar price point, gives you notifications (calls, emails, texts, calendar) right at your wrist. This doesn't. With the Orbit's large screen, this seems easily possible. Just have Orbit connected to your phone in the background! And yes, iPhone users want this too!!! —I really would like to see the date and the seconds on my Orbit! Fitbit offers customizable watch faces. But not you! — Sleep data doesn't sync to Sleep Better (I can't even use my orbit to track my sleep, then sync it to Sleep Better!). — Please (please please) update the firmware and add customization of the watch face and a feature where Orbit is always connected in the background and weather, sports scores, calendar events, notifications, etc. always appear on my band! This is big. — I really want to go "Gold," and $10 a year seems fair. But $50?!?! Bad Bug! — The days of the week are wrong as you slide back to previous days' data. You can fix that! Fix those bugs and add those features fast and I'll up my rating to 5 stars! You can just copy what Fitbit has done and you'll improve...
