![]() ![]() Let's end with my annual plea to Apple to make two big changes to the Maps app. ![]() It's a minor flaw in an otherwise welcome addition to my iPhone, but it's one that annoys me. But if there's a way to fine-tune the Fitness app to more accurately log my activity, I wish Apple would find it. I realize this is likely a challenge involving the sensors inside my iPhone, which may not register flights of stairs as accurately as a smartwatch (though my wife reports a similar issue with her Apple Watch). The Fitness app will record maybe one trek up those stairs out of four, and then only when I walk up the stairs in an exaggerated method that's doubtlessly orthopedically unsound. To leave my house, I have to descend a flight of 10 steps, which means to return home, I have to climb those same 10 steps. My beef is the fact that some flights of stairs are apparently easier for the Fitness app to track than others. Oh, the app is supposed to record that - on the daily move circle showing the steps you've taken and the distance you've covered, there's even a dedicated area for tallying how many flights of stairs you've climbed in a given day. What I don't like is the Fitness app's inability to recognize when I've walked up a flight of stairs. ![]() (Sometimes, it's a little too aggressive with its motivations, but that's a complaint for another time.) I like the fact that I don't need to own an Apple Watch - I can't stand wristwatches - to be able to log my daily activity and chart my progress. The addition of the Fitness app back in iOS 16 has been a life-changer for me, as it motivates me to be more active. ![]()
