As it turns out, that was a mistake. A fresh update to the app started rolling out yesterday and it brings the rest of the features that were intended for this release – and what a list of features they are. Note: Everything here was about to be part of a teardown, but the update stole that thunder. (And I'm not bitter about that at all <grumble> <grumble>) There are still a few things that don't seem to be live yet, so there's still a teardown at the bottom.[/quote]
Nutrition tracking? Is this as good as MyFitnessPal? Oh, I see, its integrated

I never knew Google Fit was a thing until right now. Going to give this a try. Consolidating my tracking will be great.

Last I checked you had to have a Google smart watch or similar to even use Fit.

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;49152676]no? download fit, fit starts tracking your steps and shit[/QUOTE] Oh cool, it works now. Last time I booted it up it asked me to sync my Android Wear and refused to let me advance until I did that.
I didn't ever recall it prompting me to get something with Android Wear set up. Maybe it might have been because it saw that you had a Wear device paired and wanted to offer on-watch tracking too?
