The problem of not being able to cross sport-specific boundaries in one app
While some fitness tracking apps can be helpful and fun for tracking progress, they fail to allow people to compete across multiple activities within their fitness community. A runner and a swimmer, for example, may have similar fitness and improvement goals, but it’s tough for a running or swimming app to quantify the two in a way that makes comparative sense. For too long, sports enthusiasts, personal trainers, and those who simply crave a social aspect of their health and wellness have struggled to find a place where they can come together online.
About testing the platform
