Criticisms
One criticism of this type of product is that carrying a mobile phone can be somewhat unwieldy for workout purposes. This can be solved by purchasing a carrier that can attach to a bike, or purchasing an armband, although some still do not fasten the phone very securely. Additionally, depending on what phone model is used, it can be heavier than other fitness devices such as Garmin Forerunner. Also with a clamshell phone design, the display data during the workout is quite small and can be hard to read. The interface on the phone can seem a bit rough as well. The application can also drain the battery quickly, depending on what phone model is used. This can be tempered by “turning off the application’s need to ping the network”. The phone application does experience some software bugs, but Allsport GPS says these are in the process of being fixed.

Famous quotes containing the word criticisms:
“I have no concern with any economic criticisms of the communist system; I cannot enquire into whether the abolition of private property is expedient or advantageous. But I am able to recognize that the psychological premises on which the system is based are an untenable illusion. In abolishing private property we deprive the human love of aggression of one of its instruments ... but we have in no way altered the differences in power and influence which are misused by aggressiveness.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.”
—William James (1842–1910)
