Ratings and reviews

I don't like the current version. Old style was great with everything in a nice list of categories right on the display page. Now there are chunky, square widget boxes that you have to scroll through. Looks like something for a toddler and not the streamlined, chic design it used to be. There also seems to be a lot less info displayed and why is it so hard to find certain settings? Not as user friendly and good looking as it used to be. Very disappointing.

I really like this fitness app. The experience is pretty seamless. Everything just works. The running/cycling functionality is absolutely fantastic. For weight training, my watch is able to detect which exercises I'm doing fairly well, and then it just shows up in my exercise summary. I've had other smart watches in the past, and this one blows the old ones out of the water.

I love the data the app gives you and a lot of the screens are really good, but I ABSOLUTELY HATE the newest interface with the big clunky blocks. I like the old interface with the horizontal bars that had all the data, and even more of it on each bar, than the new blocks do. Now you have to open that block to see all the data behind it. Bring it back or give us the option to pick the layout we want. All my running friends HATE it. Haven't talked to a single one that likes it.
