It took a bit of time, but a  fairly improved version of ConnectStats is now ready. It contains the features of the failed version 2.5, and a few other significant improvements. In a nutshell, you can now access your daily steps and activity as recorded by your apple watch or iPhone motion processor (this is not available on iPad). There are quite a few under the hood improvement for future extensibility, which always brings the risk of some new bugs… And finally improvement for the ski season with extra fields and plots for your ski activities, along with display of new run dynamics fields and graphs. It contains also a few minor improvements, like multi sport display and filter for the calendar and swipe right to move backwards on graphs in activities.

Extra Graphs

There were quite a bit of internal refactoring that made it easier to add new graphs in ConnectStats. If your device supports it, you will now have graphs for temperature, along with the new running dynamics of the fenix 3. It also now is easier to had new derived plots like for example the vertical speed, which I initially build for ski activities, but can be handy, I suppose, for cycling or running as well. I say “I suppose”, because I live in London, and vertical speed in a flat city is only marginally helpful… If there are graphs your device supports that you would like to see in ConnectStats contact me and send me a fit file so I can test it and add it.

Health Data

This is only applicable to iPhone users. The idea is to integrate the data recorded in the health app into ConnectStats to enable some of the analysis available to the run or cycle data.

To enable it, in the service page, turn on Health Data. It will try to figure out the source automatically: either the apple watch or your phone if it has a motion processor. If it does not select the right source you can select it manually.

Once you enabled it, during refresh the latest data should get integrated into your activity list. Because ConnectStats primary focus is still to look at sport activities, there is a quick filter available to only show the sport activities and hide the day summary coming from the health data.

The primary purpose for me is to be able to have quick view of the day and look at the stats and data from the apple watch or the phone in a bit more details. In the stats session, you have now a new type Days to look at these stats

The summary page will show monthly steps progression: how well I am doing in step this month versus last and Short Term vs Long Term activity.

Here you see the weekly or monthly summary.

I will see how much I expand on the functionality. As I mentioned before I don’t anticipate it will become a major focus for the app.
