Having said that, if there is more interest in having email+password accounts, I'm more than happy to look into it, but it would have to wait for a later version.
or does the website for the privacy focused app require javascript to display anything other than a download button?
I've copy pasted the description from the TestFlight app description here:
Thank you for beta testing Headings! You can track your hikes, drop pins, view all of your past hikes and pins with a free Headings account
Tips for beta testing: * Test the app during a hike, bike ride, or your commute to work by pressing the “Start Hike” button. When you’ve reached your destination, tap on the red flag to stop recording * Look at the stats, are they accurate? * How was your battery life? Did it drain too much too quickly? * Save them to your account, did signing up for a new account work? * Drop pins along the way and see if they show up in the map * Log out of your account and log back in. Did all of your previously saved info come back?
Hope this helps!
A lot of fitness apps present information in a newsfeed or through competitions. Unfortunately, this is the same kind of environment that is intimidating in a gym or any activity where there's a large group of people who have been doing it for years. I made Headings to make it comfortable for people to explore at their own pace and privacy.
Everything in Headings is private by default. So you never see others' stats, or have emotions about how you're doing compared to someone else. It also respects your privacy by not displaying ads, or selling your information.
