Unfair in traffic

[Janetspog1]

I use Active 10 every day and do 3 walks, sometimes one long one, sometimes 3 shorter ones depending on my day and time to do them. I feel the App is very unfair when you stop to cross a road. It does not compensate if you then walk a little longer in time to make up for having to temporarily wait for traffic. You can't get run over, you have to wait for pedestrian crossings, you have no choice. What can you do?

Yup... I think the app allows a little time for crossing roads, but if you’ve just missed the crossing you’re sure to be waiting a little longer. I take the app with a pinch of salt... it was useful when I started out, but I know what I’ve done, so I no longer rely on it. According to the app I did 51 minutes brisk this morning on a 75 minute walk... one active 10! I’m taking the 51 thanks very much. Apparently they’re now sure that it’s not even about 10s... from what I’ve read 6x5 minutes is just as good.

Some days I can run 50 minutes at 10 minutes per mile away from roads and the app still doesn’t give me 3 active 10s while my run tracker doesn’t show any time where I was even close to falling into my walking pace. Other days I can walk 30 minutes at 16 per mile and light all 3 active 10s up. 🤷‍♂️

It’s great to have the apps and light things up... but what’s really important is you being out there and being active... that’s going to make you live so much longer than an achievement on an app can.

I agree with this one, I used to find that very annoying. Maybe worth putting a little piece in the feedback.
