ExtraMile®
What is the SMART goal feature in ExtraMile® and how does it work?
The SMART goal setup helps you define specific, measurable objectives—like 'Add 2 miles to my long run every Sunday for 6 weeks'—rather than vague ambitions. It forces you to add details like frequency and target numbers, which is great for structured progress tracking.
Can ExtraMile® sync with Samsung Health or other fitness trackers?
Yes, the app claims to sync with Samsung Health, but the integration can be unreliable. For example, one user reported that a 10-mile run was only credited as 4 miles, requiring a manual override to correct the data.
Why does my ExtraMile® notification sometimes arrive at the wrong time or not at all?
The notification system has inconsistent timing: a 7 PM reminder might fire at 7:15, 7:03, or simply not appear. This appears to be a bug with the reminder scheduling, so you may want to rely on your phone's native alarm for time-sensitive tasks.
I edited a recurring goal in ExtraMile® and lost all my progress history. How can I fix this?
This is a known bug where editing a recurring goal's target after logging progress can reset the entire history for that goal to zero. Unfortunately, there's no built-in undo, so you should avoid editing active recurring goals and instead create a new one to preserve your data.
How does ExtraMile® compare to Strides for goal tracking?
ExtraMile® offers a more modern, customizable dashboard and cleaner progress charts compared to Strides, which some users find dated. However, ExtraMile® feels like a v1.0 product with bugs like data loss and unreliable syncing, whereas Strides, despite its older interface, is more stable for complex, long-term tracking.
