Goal of the Program

• First Goal is to provide convenient and full access to all our data from your mobile device.
• Second Goal is to implement all type of advanced analysis on your data that I couldn’t find in other programs
• The app was tested with data from forerunner, garminswim, garmin edge, garmin fenix and garmin fit app.
• It’s intended to handle large numbers of activities (tested with several thousands activities and with activities up to 6h long). For such large archives the initial download can be a bit long, especially if you have an older phone.
• The app will not let you record any activities, but only display data uploaded from Garmin Connect.

First Use

• when you start the program you will be have to choose and enable download for the service of your choice.
  • Garmin services: you can choose the connectstats service, which will pop up a login message or to download from the website in which case you will have to enter your user name and password.
  • Strava: upon first refresh, the strava login page will popup.
• the app will then start downloading activities when you  refresh by pulling down on the activity list
• Note that this process can be quite slow if you have a lot of activities. Note that in addition if you use the ConnectStats service for Garmin, the very first time will required a synchronisation that can take some time.
• You can interrupt the process at any time and it will restart where it left it when you restart the app and start refreshing.
• While it’s downloading you should be able to look at already downloaded activities but the performance will be slower than after full download completed. If any error occur during that process restart the app and it should restart the download where it left of.
• If you have issue connecting check the trouble shooting section

How to use it

• You can navigate the different tabs and touching most data will let you drill down on that number.
• You can touch a graph or the gear button to rotate through the different graphs options or bring in the graph full screen.

• If you setup the withings service in the settings page, you should see in the details page the closest weight to that date and in the stats an extra scatter plot versus your weight. Currently to refresh you’ll have to go back to the settings page and press refresh. More graphs, auto refresh, etc will be added in later versions.
