All-new design for Sports Tracker Android out in v. 2.5.2

A new, beautiful Sports Tracker Android version 2.5.2 is out!

We gave our Android app a fresh, modern look that works wonderfully on all screens and is guaranteed to take your tracking experience to the next level. With this release we are also preparing the app for some exciting big updates coming soon.

Android 2.5_1      Android 2.5_2      Play_screen_5

In addition to the new visual design, the update also introduces Bluetooth Smart support. This means you can now use Sports Tracker Heart Rate Monitor SMART together with our Android app (requires Android 4.3 or higher and Bluetooth 4.0). For more information on our HRM SMART, visit our online shop.

Change log:

  • New, modern user interface
  • Added Bluetooth Smart support for Sports Tracker HRM SMART
  • Fixed bugs

Update to version 2.5.2 now and as always, let us know what you think!

Happy tracking!

Team Sports Tracker

Ps. If you downloaded version 2.5 yesterday or earlier today, please update to version 2.5.2 and check that your User settings are correct (gender, weight, age). Our first update had a tiny bug that might have reset the settings. Sorry about this!

    Hi, I can’t sync my workout! In your blog this’s shared (http://support.sports-tracker.com/customer/portal/articles/796700-problems-syncing-workouts), I applied but problem continues ! Maybe it’s about android version. Because in 4.1.2 android version, never problem happened. (My phone Samsung Note 2 – android version 4.3 and sports-tracker version 2.5.2)

      Hi Wolki! Sorry to hear about this. Could you try rebooting your phone and see if that helps? You can also try reinstalling the app, but this will cause the loss of unsynced workouts. Let me know if the problem persists.

    Hi, 3rd party pulse meters worked fine with my iPhone 4s (Polar Bluetooth smart) running Sports Tracker!

    Why is that not an option for my new Samsung Galaxy S5 running sports tracker on Android??

    Regards Johannes.

    1. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Hi Johannes, we’re hoping to add the support for 3rd party HRMs soon-ish, pending testing.

    Why can’t this app be switched from KM to Miles?

    1. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Hi Justin, you can do it in the settings. Which phone do you have?

    hello, in my journal Sports Tracker does not appear the number of certain views, my friends often leave comments but keep zero after both views. my version is 2.5.2 already. Thank you.

    1. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Hi Renato, can you try reinstalling the app and see if that helps? Remember to first make sure your workouts are synced and saves on our website.

    Oltre a mancare la visualizzazione del dislivello manca anche la possibilità di vedere i km annuali e mensili.

  6. Max

    MANCA LA VISUALIZZAZIONE DEL DISLIVELLO come ha Runtastic. AGGIUNGERE. Per il resto ok

    Since the update my phone has not shared any info on Facebook. Any comments?

    1. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Hi Steen! Like I told Steve below, FB sharing is known to be a little problematic. It’s just not us, but other apps are experiencing problems with it too. These steps usually help: http://support.sports-tracker.com/customer/portal/articles/433343-facebook-sharing-doesn-t-work

    mmmm wijze update, behave als je workout er maar den helft opstaat :(

  9. Steve

    Since the update my phone has not shared any workout info on Facebook and FB says it has not communicated with it since 10.4. That’s about 4 or 5 workouts ago! Yet according to the phone app it’s connected to FB… I wonder if there is some other bug or do I need to do something?

    Miksi Androidille ei ole askelmittaria käytössä kävelyn, patikoinnin sekä other1-6 osalta? On kuitenkin monasti mielenkiintoinen tieto monessa suhteessa.

    1. Kari

      Myös bluetooth 4.1:stä odotellaan parantamaan pelaamisen etäsykemittausta, eli ettei tarvitse parittaa uudelleen yhteyden katkettua.

    2. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Moi Harri! Pahoittelut viivästyneestä vastauksesta. Askelmittarin implementointi jäi meillä isompien muutosten jalkoihin viime vuonna, kun rakensimme uutta backendia. Välitän nyt terveiset eteenpäin, että se olisi toivottu lisä.

    I’ve tried version 2.5.2 on the Samsung Galaxy S4 with a new Polar H7. This is a BlueTooth SMART HRM, so supposedly support was just added for it. Unfortunately the HRM is not found in Sports Tracker when trying to detect it. Polar Beat works on the same phone. BlueTooth is on and the HRM is paired.

    It would be nice if this HRM could be used, because Sports Tracker is my favourite app since my Nokia 5800. :)

    1. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Hi Speeder, the support was added for our own Sports Tracker HRM SMART at first. We might extend the support to other devices in the future pending testing.

    Hi, I like the new design very much but the display of the distance varies. With the the last version it shows me a distance of 7 km. Now I run the the same route and it shows me a distance of 7,75 km. Please fix the bug.
    Many greetings Rolf

    1. Vilma / Team Sports Tracker

      Hi Rolf, I’m terribly sorry for the late reply! The update shouldn’t affect the distance as it’s measured with GPS that works independently from our app. Try rebooting your phone and see if that helps.
