Ratings and reviews

This looks really cool, but I'll have to wait for Garmin support to really utilize it, as I'm not a fan of downloading another app outside of this to connect and track heart rate. It's also not clear, when using the phone to track steps, how that works. Depending on the menu, step counts are different. One thing I would note, if your not a fan of menu within menu navigation, this might not be the app for you. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement. I'll check back w/ Garmin supported

Unless I'm mistaken, if so I'll update, but it seems you have to have this game open, not in the background, and your screen unlocked for it to track. This seems like some odd requirements while I'm going for a run down the road. I was assuming you would start it when you start your workout and then be able to check your progress when you're done, but if you put your phone in your pocket or try to play some music it seems to pause. That doesn't make sense or seem safe to me.

One of only two fitness games I've played that doesn't provide a way to skip actually exercising, so it's inherently motivating. Basically WoW but your weight goes down instead of up. Loving it. Dev is super responsive and seems passionate.
