We had discussed the top ideas
for fitness apps earlier. Now, we would like to take it forward and introduce
the must-have features for the fitness app. Based on our study of fitness apps,
and the consumers of these apps, we have come down to 7 features that are
important for the success of fitness apps.
Social Sign-up
It is important for the user to register, in order to keep a track
of their fitness. It is also important for you, so that you can give them the
best regimen, personalized to their needs. However, long forms don’t really
attract users. That means, you need a substitution for getting the Mobile
App Development Outsourcing details, and also the user aboard. Social
sign-ups are the best way to engage the customers. You can ask them to log-in
using Facebook or Twitter or their Google accounts for easy registration and
better engagement. This will help both you and the user to keep a track of the
progress.
Social Integration
Social is what motivates the user
most to keep a track of their fitness levels and actually workout. You can get
the Facebook integrated with the app, so that the user can compete with their
friends. They can share their workout status online, and motivate others too.
Routes for walks and cycling, as well as the number of steps and other goals
are established and published on social platform.
Connectivity with wearable
Everyone, who is into fitness,
has a wearable device tracking their heart rates, the number of steps they
travel each day and other details. If your app cannot connect with this
wearable device, it will not connect with the users. Make sure your app can connect
with the wide range of fitness trackers available in the market.
Easy activity tracking
The app should keep a track of
all the activities the user is into. If possible, make sure your app can track
the activities that the fitness band can. You should also make a insightful
presentation of the data available. How often have they overstepped their
goals, and is it time for them to change the goals? These details will help
them workout more and better. You should give them weekly and monthly tracking
details, so that they know how good their workout has been and the calories
they have managed to burn in the process.
Geolocation tracking
It is important for the user to
create routes where they would regularly walk. These routes can be created
easily and managed too with the help of geolocation tracking enabled into the
app. It will also help keep a record of the routes you have walked and the kms
you have tracked.
Goal settings
For any fitness app, it is
important that they ask for the goal the user wants to accomplish. It is
important to set the goal right at the start, which will help the user keep a
track of their work out and see if they have actually accomplished it. If a
particular goal is accomplished, they should be able to change the goal. The
goals help maintain the workout schedule.
The actual workouts
The app should contain workouts
that meet your app’s premise. It should be promising for the users who have
signed up. Do you have recorded videos or, are you planning on helping them
with a regime to start the workout? These things help engage the users better
with the app.
Make
sure you have settings that help the users customize the apps and prepare the
users for a more personalized workout.
