The signal to noise in fitness apps is high. The mainstream ones don’t do this, or if they do the implementation is so bad it’s not worth using, and discovery of anything else is fraught with shitware that wants a subscription to “unlock” it’s unknown potential.
- mynegation 3y agoDid you mean to say signal-to-noise [ratio] is _low_? Meaning that you get way too much noise for the amount of signal. Or did you mean to say it needs to be high (I.e. low noise) to be useful?
- SuperShibe 3y agoFor every good fitness app that does what it promises (-> signal) there are at least 50 bad fitness apps that promise too much and let you pre-pay for the (broken) features you wanted, money you'll never get back (-> noise). The amount of noise in Fitness apps is so high, nobody really dares to try out small apps. Therefore cool implementations from small devs like the workout-correction might stay unnoticed for years.
- Dylan16807 3y agoRight, and SNR is signal dividied by noise.
- supermatt 3y agoi did mean low, yes :)
- anonymoose4 3y agoYeah you mean low
- supermatt 3y agoNot sure why you got flagged, so I have vouched - I did indeed mean "low".
