Ahhh I see, that makes a lot of sense, thanks for clarifying and I agree, not using my phone for that period of time would be difficult, that's why I keep my laptop on my for use on the bus (yeah, I'm one of those weird bus laptop people) - I might install this and see how much I can screw around with it (all in the name of improvement of course) for instance, can I sandbox this so it doesn't know when I use my phone, etc.

One major issue I have is this - internet coverage isn't perfect (I don't know about the US but it sure sucks in the UK when you're in the country!) so surely disconnecting for a few minute while you go over a hill, etc, would be detrimental to your points. Personally, if I cared enough about this application not to use my phone, I would probably check it out of paranoia to see if the loss of internet in rural areas lost me points and it wold actually be a negative impact, so with this in mind, how do you handle lag / disconnection / poor coverage?

Of course, these are edge cases, but important ones which could lose you custom in the long term.
