The app makes use of sensors like the accelerometer for instance already built into your smartphone along with GPS and Wi-Fi to distinguish between different activities and locations. Data is pushed to servers to analyse the information, which does mean there is some mobile data use involved. This apparently equates to around 30MB of data per month. The app can be used without a data connection as well and simply analyses the data when you are connected again. There are a few features that the Moves Android app lacks in comparison to the iOS app.
The great thing about Moves is that it utilises something you are always likely to have in your possession, a phone. You can launch the app and sling the phone into your pocket or bag and it will run in the background.
For each section of your journey, you can tap to see the data laid out in Google Maps. Accuracy is obviously a prime concern and putting it up against the Withings Pulse, there was around a step count difference. We took it out for a run along with the TomTom Runner GPS Sports Watch and again it was largely in the same ball park in terms of recording distance and run duration.
We did experience some problems when using the app indoors, specifically the gym. Testing the Moves app on an exercise bike, the app simply did not register the movement at all.
The lack of a 3G connection meant waiting until there was a clear reception to sync data, but the app simply did not recognise any of the activity. The app developers do make this point clearly and suggest charging it overnight to make sure it goes the distance. Ratings and Reviews. App Privacy. Information Provider OpenPlay ltd.

If you are new here and are wondering what my workouts are like, you can find lots of examples: IG stories highlights or enjoy this free sample with the 3 Day Body Burn. Where Should I Start? Tighter Together Challenges: These 30 Day challenges are separate and the workouts are not accessed simply by having the app subscription.
If you do not complete a challenge before the challenge expires, you will not receive bonus points for the challenge. Be sure to check the end date to complete it in time! You can join one challenge of each activity type at a time. For example, you may join 1 walking challenge, 1 running challenge, 1 cycling challenge and a swimming challenge but not 2 walking challenges at one time. This is because your daily activity can only contribute towards one challenge at a time.
If you wish to change the challenge that you are participating in you can leave the challenge and join another of that activity type. If you have completed a challenge you will be able to join another challenge of that activity type.
Be aware that if you leave a challenge you will lose your progress towards the challenge and you will not receive bonus points.
