The Sports Tracker service is offline today for a total of an estimated four hours starting from 9am UTC until 1pm UTC in the afternoon due to schedule maintenance and updates to our databases and backend.

You can use your Sports Tracker app to track as usual but the workouts will not sync to the service until after the service break.

Sorry for the inconvenience and happy tracking!

We’ve released a small update to Sports Tracker on Windows Phone.

The update adds better GPS-data filtering to enhance the accuracy of tracked workout data as well as some minor bug fixes based on feedback from our users – thanks again for all that submitted reports through our Support Central.

Windows Phone v. 1.2.0

• Enhanced GPS filtering for better data accuracy
• UI fix when editing the workout description
• Stability fixes

Note: The GPS filtering is not yet visible on the map while tracking. Once you have saved your workout and view it from the Diary on your phone or on the sports-tracker.com web service the map will show the correct filtered data. We will fix this in upcoming releases.

Sports Tracker now available in 23 new countries!

Sports Tracker for Windows Phone is now also available in the 23 “new” Windows Marketplace countries!

We welcome all new trackers from Bahrain, Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Estonia, Iceland, Iraq, Israel, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Qatar, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, Ukraine, Venezuela, and Vietnam to the Sports Tracker team!

There was an unintended service break with some of the Sports Tracker servers today, from approximately 15.00 CET to 17.30 CET. This was due to hardware failure in one of our data centers. This caused unavailability of online workout data and synchronization failures from mobile clients for some users. The issue has been solved and your workout data will be synchronized in a normal manner next time you launch your mobile application.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience and we will do appropriate improvements to prevent similar issues in the future.
