Repository

https://github.com/mcfarhat/actifit/

Introduction

Actifit is an application that reward users with ACTIFIT token for fitness activities done. This application differs from others because you will not only gain by keeping fit but you will be rewarded for your activities. The Activity application can be downloaded here

Components

My suggestion is on

• The main menu section
• The step history section

Proposal Description

I am someone that do workout to keep fit and stay in great shape. I have been using other apps, but this Actifit app is about taking the top position because of its integration with the blockchain and reward system. However, there are many features that are absent which would have made users love the application more thus leading to massive adoption.

Main menu section
I propose that the main menu section of the application to include features like time/duration, distance, map showing location, calories burnt, music feature, start and stop button.

Step history section
This section should be enhanced in such a way that daily steps history would be clickable to show the steps statistics.

All this would be shown in the mockup below.

Mockups / Examples

This is the features that should be present in the main menu.

On clicking the steps history. Statistics can be shown like this.

Benefits

It is a cool application which reward users with ACTIFIT tokens, however this is not enough. It can be further improved. I already proposed my ideas. The benefits of implementing this features include

• The main menu currently have only the daily total steps count feature. It can be improved to include the duration, distance covered. It will let users know how many distance covered. This is particularly important to athletes who need to monitor their pace and time. Coupled with the start and stop button, users can use this buttons when they want to begin their fitness activity and pause or stop the tracker when they want to do some unrelated thing. Tis will make sure that only their fitness activities are tracked.

• The presence of the calories feature will let users know the amount of calories/energy burnt. This is particularly effective for users with a predefined calories target. The music feature will also make sure that the activities are not boring. Since most people prefer undergoing fitness activities alone, users should be able to select songs to play in the application without resorting to external music players.

• Maps features coupled with GPS will enable users track their location and see how far they have gone in real life. This is one of the features that can be shared to friends and steemit on completion of daily fitness activity.

• The current step history just shows the date and total steps. i recommend that it should show additional statistics which include the workout duration, distance covered, total calories burnt, average speed, weather condition and so on. This will enable users to monitor heir progress and know if they are actually progressing or not. A comprehensive history is required to know how a user is improving in his/her fitness activity.

Conclusion

I believe the addition of this features will see an influx of users utilizing the application.
