GoWear Fit Activity Manager: Bugs and Feature Requests

The web-software is the easiest piece for BodyMedia to make changes and enhancements. It is also the majority of our interaction with the device. Since the day I got my GoWear Fit the home page has had a big section announcing "NEW Site Features" but it is not dated and the new features haven't changed so there is no way to know how actively they are trying to make improvements. Since they have opted for a subscription based model for revenue generation, I think it is there responsibility to keep new features rolling out on the Activity Manager Software.

Bugs:

Edit Off-Body does not add to steps. When I clone an activity or put in 30 minutes of walking during an off body time, the step counter does not tally up any steps. I can use the Edit Off-Body feature to adjust my calorie burn and activity level, but my step data becomes very inconsistent to both reality and the calorie burn reported. I think this is in large part due to the fact that steps are only tallied hourly and not minute by minute like the calorie burn. This is probably a feature of the hardware that definitely deserves a feature request from me.
