@Vitality_UK I do have a choice but if I want to continue getting close to the same level of monthly rewards I used to I have to play. But why is the level of rewards now party down to luck with a silly game? Before it was solely down to my Activity Points.

[Adam Swinden @AdamSwinden]

@Vitality_UK You can try to spin this rewards “upgrade” all they like but it’s clearly a definite downgrade. Relying on chance to get most rewards by playing a childish game is insulting. Hugely disappointing.

@samuelaled Maybe the unit was introduced in iOS 13 but Apple Watch only started recording it in watchOS 10?

Just in time for Xmas, a little present (update) under the Twitter tree for our Forrest family.

Version 2.1 is now live with a few new features, some bug fixes and improvements and a couple of small quality of improvements for our growing global audience.

@PiotrTweets @MaartenBorsje @RaceForrest No, it runs in Lambda using the Swift AWS Lambda Runtime

[Adam Swinden @AdamSwinden]

@Samanthahijz @indieappsanta @RaceForrest Hi! Just tap on any of the upgrade banners to find the lifetime offer

[Adam Swinden @AdamSwinden]

@PiotrTweets @MaartenBorsje @RaceForrest Most of its custom built using Swift on the server running in AWS but the email verification is going through Firebase

[Adam Swinden @AdamSwinden]

@TimPulvr @indieappsanta @RaceForrest We are having a technical issue with verifying email addresses at the moment due to the volume of new users from Indie App Santa.
But don’t worry, you do not need to verify your email address to continue using the app.

[Adam Swinden @AdamSwinden]

@TheAngriestBart @RaceForrest Your email doesn’t have to be verified. Just tap on any of the upgrade banners and you’ll see the free lifetime offer

[Adam Swinden @AdamSwinden]

@NiTiSHmurthy @indieappsanta I’m having a few issues with email verification at the moment but, don’t worry, you can fully use the app without it

[Sketch @sketch]

We caught up with @RaceForrest's designer and co-founder, @m_emmins, to find out how the app's two-person team got from v1 to v2 📱

From a redesign and fresh iconography to a new pricing model — here's how they brought it to life 👇 #MadeWithSketch https://t.co/xnLPEVqtSR

[Forrest @RaceForrest]

Co-Founder @m_emmins sat down with @freddiewrites from @sketch to discuss our history, how Version 2 came about and how Sketch was instrumental in helping us to get designs delivered effectively.

I’m so honoured to have Forrest featured in the App Store. It’s a real career milestone moment for me.
