Gentler Streak, the Apple Watch workout app that wants to bring compassion
to your fitness goals, is being updated to version 2.2. With that, there are
some overall improvements, new workouts available, and nice tweaks for both
iPhone and Watch apps.
Gentler Streak is a personal fitness habit tracker that offers a free, more
compassionate perspective of your workouts. Instead of pushing you to keep
completing your Apple Watch rings, the app works with different Heart Zones
so you can understand when the exercise is good for you and when you went
too far.
When the developers released a couple of months ago a version bringing a
standalone Apple Watch app, they hinted that soon enough, they would bring
even more non-conventional workouts to Gentler Streak.
According to the apps release notes, you can now choose the exact activity
you engage in without going for the closest substitute. With the new
workouts available there are over 100 exercises Gentler Streak can track.
Dog walking
Kitesurfing
Wakeboarding
Ice skating
Mountain biking
Parkour
Recumbent cycling
Rollerblading
Roller skating
Shovelling
Slackline
Standup paddle
On its Apple Watch app, users can now swipe right to decide which metrics
theyd like to monitor for a specific workout. In addition, theres a new
auto-pause feature for running workouts and for cycling the latter needs
to be turned on in Settings.
For the Gentler Streak iPhone app, the insights were previously available on
the Home tab, which is now called Streak. It brings improved logic and
should be more relevant to users daily status.
Last but not least, the Daily Condition indicator now looks the exact same
on Watch and iPhone, there are also new transitions and bug fixes.
Future looks bright
Gentler Streak gives insightful data in real-time and helps you slow down or
go a little further during a workout. For a future update, the Apple Watch
app will bring even more features, such as haptic feedback when completing
one mile during a walk or a run.
The app is free to download on the App Store but requires a subscription to
take full advantage of it. Premium costs $6.99 per month or $19.99 for a
full year.
