NuStep Companion

I don’t like using my Apple ID with a third party.

On the plus side it finally writes data to My Health app. On the downside, the display shows less data on the main screen and it will not keep the phone’s focus. On the unacceptable side, it does not impact three years of data from their old app. You would think they could find a freshman at U of M could do a better job!

1. After a workout I didn’t have time to link my workout to record it. I went back later to do it and as far as I can tell there’s no way to do it. 2. I email my workouts to a buddy and she does the same to me - it keeps me accountable. I can see a way to email my workout. 3. NuSteo apps aren’t available to log workouts via MyFitnessPal - my Fitbit does but that isn’t useful for my NuSteo workout. This is not so useful for me. Going back to the other one.

I’ve used the original NuStep app for several years and just saw the NuStep Compsnion. I have two complaints, one major. The minor one is that my history from the original NuStep app doesn’t transfer. I could live with that, but I’d rather not. The major complaint is that when I do a NuStep workout, I record it as an elliptical on my Apple Watch. I then found out that simultaneously, an outdoor walk of the same duration was being recorded, apparently generated by the NuStep Companion. I don’t see any way to stop it. I’m going back to the original NuStep app. And why do both apps insist on looking for different NuStep machines? Might make sense at a gym, but I only have one machine at home!
