Demotivating new Active 10

I regularly used the old version of Active 10 and found it very reliable and motivating. The new version is awful, it seldom records active walking but triples the total walking minutes. When scrolling through the days walking the yellow brisk shows momentarily and then goes green. It now ceases to record anything, in summary a demotivating fail.

What type of phone are you using?

Unfortunately, I find it a bit buggy too. I went for a 30 minute slow run with my phone in my leggings pocket and it didn’t record it at all. This seems to happen most days - just records some but not all activity. A bit demotivating.

It works perfectly for me on my iPhone and gives my walking results and has retained all my history from the date of change to this new version.

I used to like the old detailed version of Active 10 showing walking each minute of the day but I can understand that was not strictly needed.

Mine is an iPhone too - it does miss bits regularly though which it never did in the old version.
