Please update this awful design. It’s like you didn’t even test the app on a device before launching this. ### 3/5 — Allows for the missed activity *2019-04-20* This used to work fine. (I say fine because it’s in km - I’m in US) recently all activity defaults to one type no matter which I pick. Need the ability to “set up” our own activity to use. ### 5/5 — Worked perfectly *2018-05-05* This app did what it was supposed to - and it was done in less than 30 seconds. Thank you! ### 4/5 — A few minor glitches, but overall a thorough, user-friendly app *2018-02-03* I’ve had this app for a few months now, and for the most part, I really like it! It’s simple, easy-to-use, and allows you to choose from over 70 different exercises. It integrates *almost* seamlessly with the Activity app, though I have noticed you have to put your watch on after you log a workout in Manual Activity in order for it to register on your watch/phone and count towards your daily goals. And while you can’t delete workouts in the app itself, you can manually remove them (and all of the corresponding data, if you choose) via the Avtivity app. Unfortunately, the automatic calorie calculator isn’t all that accurate and tends to over-embellish.. You are given the option to manually enter calories burned, but only by multiples of 25, which is obviously limiting. Furthermore, though a “fix” for this was apparently put out a few months ago, I noticed that when I tried to log a High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) workout a day or so ago, it defaulted to Yoga..? I tried deleting and re-entering it multiple times, closed out of the app and re-opened it, force restarted my phone, and then finally deleted and re-installed the app (and lost all of my previously logged data) before giving up and choosing “Mixed Cardio” instead, which worked just fine. Regardless, it’d be nice if this were taken care of at some point! ### 1/5 — What’s the point? $waste *2018-01-21* I got this so I could add activities I didn’t register with my Apple Watch. But actually, there is no way to add an activity that has already happened. Therefore, what’s the point? ### 1/5 — Does not do what it says *2017-12-31* This app does not allow you to add workouts and have them count towards activity app rings. There appears to be no reason to buy this useless app since iPhone already allows all functionality found in this app. ### 3/5 — Depends what you want *2017-10-02* This will allow you to manually enter activities, but those activities will not count toward achievements. This is upsetting to me, because this is why I bought the app. My son race my phone and after having achieved a very difficult task and getting the award I did not get it back after the restore because I completed the award after the backup was taken. I was hoping the apps manually entered activities would count the calories towards the achievement but it did not. I can see them, they are a different color from the Ones tracked by the Apple Watch, they are gray instead of red, green, etc., but again if all you need is to track a messed activity, this will do it. If however, you want to recover lost calories after a back up, this will not work. It will also not allow you to cheat and add fake activities just to get achievements. ### 1/5 — Non responsive app *2017-10-02* Please respond - it’s not saving anything I input. I also can’t change the activity. What am I doing wrong?? ### 1/5 — This app does NOT work!!! *2017-09-07* The app does not request Health write access and when you create an activity as you had guessed without access it will not work. Developer is not responsive... ### 5/5 — Worked Great *2017-08-19* I saw this on a online forum and gave it a try. Worked perfectly and very fast!! Great thing to have when you forget your Iwatch!! ## Frequently asked questions about manualActivity ### How does manualActivity calculate burned calories? manualActivity calculates burned calories automatically based on your body measurements, the type of workout, and its duration.
