Your Beyond The Whiteboard app has some new features and a new and improved look on it's way! Check out the video below from the good folks at BTWB, and a quick blurb from them on some of the new interface features...
Design
One of our main goals was to make everything easier to find. To do this we created a card layout to balance aesthetics and usability. When you login to the app you scan scroll through status cards that give you a birds-eye view of a feature. For example, the first status cards in the image below is the “Calendar” card. The status card lets you know that you have a few workouts today. Simply tap on that card to get more detailed information about your WODs. . The same goes for Fitness Level, Training Days, Weaknesses, Modality Analysis, Weigh Ins, Lifestyle, Lifting, Leaderboards, Groups and more. This way we can add more features without hurting usability. Everything will always be one tap away.
Calendar Feature
The new btwb app, being released in the next two weeks, has an awesome calendar feature. Your calendar is where all your WODs that are assigned to you are displayed. From the home screen, the top left number on the Calendar card is your total number of WODs for the current day on all your programming Tracks you follow. To the right is the amount of WODs for each individual track that you're following. When you tap the card you'll see more info on the WODs and easily be able to view WODs, view results from previous days and more. Check out the quick demo video:
Are you a member at Arena Ready and don't know what BTWB is? Well then you're making me cry inside and letting me know that you never read your AR new member welcome email - but I'll get over it eventually and direct you to this blog post and this blog post which outlines some of BTWB's value to the athlete (that's you, friend).
Are you a member at Arena Ready and know what BTWB is but don't use it? Well then I'm crying inside for that also - but I mostly feel sorry for you because you probably have no idea what the hell your fitness is doing from an objective standpoint, since you don't accurately measure or record anything. So read this blog post and get on it!
Beyond The Whiteboard is free to our members, and if you don't have your original invite (check your email and it's spam filter) then let me/Sarah know and we can re-invite you to the BTWB Arena Ready track.
Happy weekend, folks!
