Great games, not-so-great other features
However, it really bugs me that there aren’t any options for people who are at a healthy weight and are just trying to exercise and maintain that weight instead of losing more. I understand that a lot of people’s fitness journey involves healthier eating habits, but that’s not the case for everyone and there are essentially no customization options in terms of medical needs. An example of this issue is that you can’t enter your “hacker score” without telling the app how long you regularly go without eating, and the “good” answer is 16+ hours. Not only is that much longer than is healthy for a lot of people (ESPECIALLY people who work out a lot) it’s also not great to measure your diet solely by how long you can go without eating anything. That’s not a good mindset and often pushes people towards binging/purging, which is horrible for fitness and health in general.
I don’t think this app needs to stop featuring weight loss options; many people want to lose weight and that’s awesome. If you want to have food/weight tracking options, that’s great! But options should be optional, not mandatory— especially when this app links to expensive fitness equipment that the user has presumably already bought, meaning they can’t just use a different app.
