Endomondo Punches in Major Update For Windows Phone; Promises Future Updates

Windows Phone platform has now reached a stage where it cannot be ignored unlike last year. Today, Endomondo has released their app for Windows Phone with major update and few new features. This service has huge fan following of 23 million fans around the globe and being serious about the platform makes a lot of sense now!!

So what’s new in the update ?

The UI has a fresh feel keeping the colour combination and elements at the same place. You would see new icons everywhere to make it more meaningful. Its more streamlined than before and less complex.

That said, the first section, which you see when the app starts is your action centre. Select type of activity and hit the run button to get started with tracking. A pause button shows up when are in running mode.  If you feel competitive enough, you can change the mode of workout to beat a  target or a friend which you can select from your list.

As you swipe left, a new tile based section show up which gives you access to Newsfeed, History, Friends, Map and Settings.  Interesting to note that previously, map was available right in the RUN mode but now moved to this section. I guess people do get distracted a lot with maps. Also new in the maps is the Bing Map implementation.

After you had worked out and look at your history, you would be  to know that earlier workouts can be downloaded from servers in the app and managed or deleted when required. You can also enter a new workout right from here.

Those who love getting a prompt from the app coach about percentage of goal reached, you will have better experience as WP8 Text-to-Speech functionality in English had been integrated into the app’s audio coach.

Lastly, the app will need you to have the Facebook App installed if you login through that. Once done that sharing your status on Facebook is much easier.

Still in doubt if you should download ? Endomondo on their blog post has promised that even though some exclusive features did not make it for this update, we will see update throughout 2014. This is good news!!! So go and download now and have a great workout.
