Is That Jesus’ London Walking On Water Route According To iFIT? -IMRAN™


Is That Jesus’ London Walking On Water Route According To iFIT? -IMRAN™

I swear I don’t go hunting for systemic bugs or bad user/customer experiences (UX/CX) - they find me.

I had renewed my iFIT subscription late last year, and decided to use it on a treadmill last night. (You will love reading the story of the treadmills in my life. I wrote it right now when I started commenting on this photo, but decided to post it separately later.) I like to use the street view option to make treadmill or stationary-bike experiences less tedious and boring. 

This time I randomly decided to relive a real-life walk in London a dozen years ago. I  tapped out the “walk” from the Big Ben clock tower at the British Parliament to the giant London Eye ferris wheel that has become a famous landmark.

Look at the strangely long route the clunky app interface generated. More importantly, notice how the app’s Snap To Road option is On. But the displayed route literally proposes I march in the middle of the River Thames. 

Apparently, iFIT thinks that I can walk on water. Or, it mistakenly presented me a route it would have proposed for Jesus Christ — who supposedly could walk on water.
