## What is Bit of Exercise?

Whether you're running, walking or cycling, Bit of Exercise’s voice reports will guide you through your workout and motivate you to work harder by comparing your results with previous activities. Furthermore, your activities will automatically start recording when you leave your current location and end when you return - no need to fiddle with your phone during your workouts.

Study your progress and results in detail on your iPhone, both during and after your workout. Graphs and maps can be zoomed, and you can easily navigate to any point along your activity for further examination and comparison to your reference. A wealth of data and statistics are collected about your activities. It's almost as if you had a personal trainer - in your iPhone.

Bit of Exercise allows you to freely assemble workouts with several segments, such as interval, multi-sport and hill training workouts. Each individual segment can be set to start and end based on various criteria such as reaching a certain location or distance. This allows you to grow in your training and get your workouts tailored to you and your surroundings. 

We respect your privacy by only storing your data locally on your iPhone. No account is required nor do you have to visit a web-site to fully access your data.

Bit of Exercise is packed with useful features, here are just a few:

• Improve your results by using the built-in pedometer to measure your cadence and stride length. 
• Setup effort zones to help you keep a steady pacing, cadence and heart rate.
• Connect ANT+ and Bluetooth 4.0 BTLE sensors for measuring your heart rate or bike cadence and distance. 
• Tag your activities to keep track of equipment, events and conditions. 
• Study weekly, monthly and yearly statistics and personal records to see your progress over time. 
• Track measurements such as your body weight and waist.
• Share your results with friends on Twitter, RunKeeper, Strava and Dailymile. 
• Import and export to and from RunKeeper, Strava, Dailymile, GPX, TCX, KML, and CSV.


"Fantastic app and believe me - I've tried them all. The ghost-ride function is among the best and the app has some real killer features that stands out especially if you often take the same routes. On some routes you may choose automated start/stop on passing GPS points. It also predicts your route based on previous patterns and the time of day and week. Makes regular use very easy. Use it and you'll never regret it." — pss-peter / App Store Review

“Using this app makes me more competitive because it compares your exercise with previous exercises so it makes me work harder. The announcements make me feel like I have a personal trainer! This is a brilliant app.” — jenbee6 / App Store Review

### 4/5 — Does the job

*2023-12-17, version 3.11.1*

Hard to find stand-alones that only store data on your phone. So I was happy to find this app. It’s not terribly intuitive. but it tracks my distance, time and maps, covering the features I was interested in. i’m sure it will do a lot more but i’m happy with what it does for me.

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-03-13, version 3.10.6*

Love it !

### 4/5 — Great function - but no cloud backup

*2019-02-13, version 3.10.6*

Love this app - been using it for 3 years, but my old phone just died and I lost 3 years of data and cannot recover. Have reactivated on new phone and would like cloud backup.

### 1/5 — Bit of fitness doesn't work iPhone 6

*2015-09-03, version 3.8*

Installed update for this app on my iPhone 6. App no longer works, it shuts down as soon as you press start and returns to iPhone home screen. Also all my previous saved running, cycling, weight and other data has all been deleted. Over a years worth of exercise and competition performance data lost. This used to be a very good app. 
Do not down load the update stick with the old version.

### 4/5 — Like a lot

*2015-01-08, version 3.6*

This app is great mostly easy to use. Occasionally not that easy to follow in set-up but on the run it works a treat.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2012-10-23, version 1.0.1*

This is a brilliant app. I've been told that I am pre diabetic so I must do some exercise. So I decided on walking & cycling. 
Using this app makes me more competitive because it compares your exercise with previous exercises so it makes me work harder. The announcements make me feel like I have a personal trainer! Then when I have finished I can study how fast I was, what sort of hills I climbed & how far I have gone. 
You can use Km or miles.
Well worth the money!
