Cool idea. I already use the Google Fit app to kind of track this stuff anyway and use my watch in conjunction with it. Guess I'll add this for the week. Be interesting to compare the two.

Edit: Hrm seems Fitbit won't bring todays steps into it. Ah well. I should have read the post yesertday.

I really like this idea. Great motivation to keep us gamers healthy while winning a prize both in life and virtual reality. Kudos to the one who came up with this brilliant idea. I hope there are many takers.

I will be rooting you all on from the bleachers, and if I can I will try to get some steps in myself.

Do we have to use the fitbit app or is another one acceptable? I already keep a track using the 'Activity' app on my iPhone / Apple Watch :)

I kinda wanted a universal app that we could all use, so that all settings, readouts, tracking and monitoring are all the same.. So i choose Fitbit as the standard to base everyone's steps on.

Some other tracking apps maybe programmed and configured differently etc etc

So to level us all out on the same playing field I think we should stick to fitbit
(unless your the HTC android user thats effected by the updates)

You can always delete the app after the Friday :D

"Strangely Ive just downloaded for the Kindle, "Rihannsu: The bloodwing Voyages" by Diane Duane.. I think its the trilogy in one book."

In fact it is even a quadrology.

The books are:
- My enemy, my ally
- The Romulan way
- Swordhunt
- Honorblade

Have them all on my book shelf and now you also know the reason why my toon is running around with a gold levelled sword ^_^

Milmar#1224 is my battletag

Started playing it last year and wasn't that impressed with it. The graphics aren't half bad, but, the gameplay, maps, characters, and balancing was just unseemly. Now that it's out, characters have been a bit balanced, but, still not enough IMO. Overall balance is still lacking IMO and the maps have actually become somewhat worse than before.

Matchmaking is still ridiculously broken from what I saw until I stopped playing it.

I will say, Ange is an awesome character with two amazing skins.

The M10.... I can't even find a nice case... but the Enjolras( my phone name) is fast and pretty...

it appears that there are some compatibility issues with HTC android phones, since a certain update.. and Fitbit are not going to apply a fix..

Hi everyone -- Beginning in mid-May 2016, we'll no longer provide support for the MobileTrack feature on the HTC One M8. Recently, Google and HTC made changes that prevents the MobileTrack feature from functioning properly in the Fitbit app for Android on the HTC One M8 device. The focus of our efforts moving forward will be to provide MobileTrack on a larger number of newer Android mobile devices.

To that end... if you are using an Android phone that cannot use the track function...
have a look on the android app store for a free pedometer called Accupedo Pedometer

Accupedo Pedometer seems the next best thing, and Ive read the reviews, mostly 5 stars.

For the android users or anyone having tracking troubles.. use this instead

(front page edited to reflect this news)

There is a new update for the Fitbit app out on Android and iOS. The one Gareth is showing, is the new one with its slim modern design.

On the old app, you can find the steps taken on settings and adjust what you want be tracked on the main screen. (calories burned, steps taken, activity ...)

Plazma, Are you using an HTC android?

Hmm maybe I need to play with it more but this is how it's showing up for me.

Hm, makes me think its again decision time - Star Wars or Overwatch. Watched the cinematic stories on YouTube and liked them ^_^

Just editing the post to include that you DO NOT need a special fitbit band (health watch) to track your steps.
As Ive had some questions about thinking you need a special Fitbit Band for this. 100% no need for a band.. just your phone.

Your phone will track your motion.

When you are setting up your app, when you come to the device set up.. choose "no fitbit yet", and your phone will act as your monitor

Amazon delivered mine (Origin edition with a framed coin and pin badge) this afternoon for my EggsBox One, after my friends saying how good it was.

I had to pry myself away from it because I forgot to feed my cat.. its SOOOO GOOD!!!

Im finding playing a healer.. is ranking me up in the top 4 everytime.. i love the Zen robot guy!

As Halish said, if your not a big fan of PvP arena / FPS games... this will change your mind.

1st I thought myself: why does Gareth makes it so difficult? There's an option / game for that in the app!

On a second thought I realised, that the FitBit app competition
a) only works for up to 10 friends
b) friends can only be added via Facebook profiles
c) I don't know your Facebook ^_^
d) it might be a problem for people regarding real names and data protection
...

Yup, though its good to add friends and see there progress, I thought it best just to ask for screen grabs as some people prefer not to share such personal info.

So all I need is a screen grab.. add nobody, link nobody... just a simple Screen grab :D

Android or iOS?

Normally both need some spare space for swap files. (Temporary space used).
If you close programs, it might show you some free space - but it's used up as soon as you starts more than one app.

Try to get rid of some photos or check, which app are the biggest and if you really need them at your phone.

Had e.g. Some games on it who took 3 GB in space and had it played and finished 2 years ago or iBooks sync downloading all my RPG books ...

Hope it helps.

But sounds like a splendid idea - some additional motivation is always good!

I'm in.

NOTE: screenshots can be taking on iOS devices by pressing the "On/Off and Home" bottoms simultaneously. The screenshots than can be chooses out of the photo app by selecting them and "sending them" to the mail app or into cloud services.

Hope this makes it easier for some captains who normally handle difficult galactic decisions and to such profound tasks ;)

Sounds like a fun idea! I want to join, but my phone is acting up (saying there is not enough space whilst there is over 500 mb free in total - it does this **** all the time) :(
