Endomondo has just released an update for its app that brings with it integration with Apple’s new Health app along with iOS 8 compatibility. The app now allows you to share tracking data to the Health app for calories and cycling, walking, and running distances.
In addition to Health app integration, the following features were also added for better iOS 8 compatibility:
- Interactive push notifications – Getting social just got easier! Now you can reply to friend and challenge requests directly from the notification, making it quick and simple to manage incoming invites.
- Cleaner interface – We’ve cleaned up the main menu by removing the ‘News Feed’ and ‘Fitness Test’ tabs, so your navigation through the app is even smoother. You can now find News Feed under the Friends tab and access Fitness Test from the workout screen when you press on basic workout.
- Improved audio – We are bringing back Audio Ducking, which lowers the music volume while audio coach is talking so you can hear your feedback loud and clear.
How are you enjoying Health app integration with the latest Endomondo update?

UberPool is an idea that car service Uber says comes straight from its Uber Garage. In its essence, UberPool is carpooling with Uber, but you share your ride with strangers rather than finding friends to take the trek with you. Doing so will afford you the ability to split fares to take down the cost of your Uber ride further as well as enjoy someone else’s company.
“The idea is simple. With UberPool, you share a ride—and split the cost—with another person who just happens to be requesting a ride along a similar route,” Uber wrote on its blog. “The beauty, though, is that you still get Uber-style on-demand convenience and reliability: just push the button like before and get a car in five minutes.”
The concept isn’t unlike competing services like Side Car and the ability to split the fare between complete strangers is a nice thing to do to keep transportation costs down for commuters.
The service right now is currently in private beta. If you’re interested, be sure to visit the source link below to sign up.
