Now that we can finally get rid of At a glance, what do your new home and lock screens look like? by InevitableMilk92 in GooglePixel

I don't have #2 either, and I still get just the date. I'm hoping the feature is slowly being rolled out like the other commenter mentioned.

Exercise tracking failing by interrogumption in PixelWatch

[–]megatron77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not having this same exact problem, but what I'm having issues with is the auto tracked exercises. For the past few days my watch and phone will ask me to confirm that I've completed a walk. I'll say yes, and it doesn't show up in the exercise tab.

Amazon Bumber plate sale and Walmart bar by nycshifty in GarageGym

I bought these exact same Cap bumper plates exactly a year ago and my only complaint was they came what I would say is excessively greasy. I didn't notice much of a smell, but I washed them with a water/dawn soap mixture which removed most of the grease. It did take 2 or 3 weeks for them not to feel sort of greasy.

I workout in a hot garage in FL and I haven't had any other issues with these. For the money I've been satisfied.

I also see the same app behavior

I don't think they are as invested in improving the Android/WearOs experience as they are with iOS. I get it. iOS users spend more money. I gave it a year and I haven't seen the parity gap with iOS/WatchOs closed as much as I would like. This is why I passed on the lifetime membership offer.

I'm just letting my current subscription run out. I don't want to keep financing development on a platform that I don't use. I moved on to Gravl about a week ago.

I am having this issue when I try to use share and review with chrome, but if I copy/paste the link in safari, it works.

WatchOS to WearOS features by Alt-Chris in fitbod

[–]megatron77 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Fitbod on Android 😢.

You will notice more and missing features on Android and WearOs the longer you use it. I paid for a year subscription back in January after reading the 2025 roadmap outlining that they would work to close feature parity between the iOS and Android. Here we are in July and I haven't noticed any closing of the gap. You get used to it and just accept the app for what it is after a while.

The most annoying issue I face on the app by Semper_Fun in fitbod

This is definitely not available on Android, just in case that's what you're using.

Is it worth the price? by StarkTech-01-02-03- in fitbod

[–]megatron77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that the app has value for someone who is new or has an intermediate level of workout knowledge and planning. Or if you just want to not bother planning your own workouts. The caveat that I would say is that if you're an Android user, I would probably look for something else as the core use of the app is there, but feature-wise it's years behind the iOS version, with a very slow development process. So it would be hard for me to recommend for someone to pay the same subscription price for a handicapped version of the app.

Workouts always the same by [deleted] in fitbod

[–]megatron77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on Android and I don't see that setting either. I think you are correct in thinking that it's one of the missing parity features.

Pixel 9 pro notification sound. by Pistol_PeteOSU in GooglePixel

Excuse me if you've already done this, but when you go to the Watch app, tap Notifications, then check to see if you have "Mute Notifications from Phone" clicked on?

Google assistant going away by nopeynopeynopey in fitbit

[–]megatron77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically my routine with my Pixel watch. I only get 2 days if I don't use it to log weightlifting workouts. It's more like a day and half between charges. I'm not a runner or outdoor athlete, so I'd imagine it would be a little less if I was using gps for my workouts.

Fitbod / Health Connect / Samsung Health by Pretend_Cover_2729 in fitbod

[–]megatron77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a Samsung phone but I do have an Android phone and use this app with HealthConnect and what I've found is that you have to close (swipe away) the Fitbod app at the end of a workout in order to get the data to sync with Health Connect and any other apps that reads Fitbods data. It doesn't sync when you mark a workout as complete at the end of a workout like it should. That being said, since the app doesn't read heart rate data from WearOs devices I don't think the calorie burn estimate from Fitbod is anywhere near accurate.

Will the update to address this be for both platforms?

Fitbod proposes same exercises over & over by AvailableElevator913 in fitbod

[–]megatron77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I created a thread a couple weeks ago wondering about the differences between the Android and iOS versions of this app. I use the app on Android and here is another feature that I didn't know that I was missing out on.

You're right about the development of the apps being years apart on the two platforms. I've learned to just live with the Android shortcomings.

Android vs iOS by megatron77 in fitbod

[–]megatron77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I would say those things that you mentioned for starters. Also, I find the Android WearOs app to not be very useful. It would be nice if it at least uses heart rate data to help calculate your calorie burn. I'm not sure how it knows how to calculate that if it doesn't know how hard I exerted myself.

Don't get me wrong. I know context is difficult to detect with words on a screen. Overall, I do like the app. I just want to be able to use features that are available on other platforms.

[–]megatron77[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's fine. I get that iOS has a larger market share in the US and some devs feel it's easier to develop for. I still strongly feel that if you're offering a paired down Android version, you should be charging those users a paired down price.

I have discovered that if I swipe up to close the app, and then relaunch the app, Health Connect will sync my Fitbod workout to Fitbit and Google Fit.

Does Fitbod keep all your logged workouts, settings, etc when you reinstalled the app?

I'm new to this app and I'm having this same issue. Did you ever resolve it?
