Also, workout announcements on your news wall are currently not working properly. It just gives a 'None' announcement instead of showing what you did.
Shows promise but a lot of tweaking to do yet.
workouts to MFP, pull in data from fitbit, etc.
Still not great though, better off just manually inputting the data to at least get the 'group hug' kudos from your friends for your efforts in the gym. Digifit not adding any value really above and beyond what your standard HRM/GPS package and manual input can offer.
I only ask because some gym equipment for Polar also picks mine up.
