Persistent glitch: smart watch app keeps freezing, losing workouts

Joshua Walton
Using Swim.com app on a Samsung Galaxy Active 2. I generally do a 3,600 yard morning workout: 1,200 yard swim set (free and breast mix), 1,200 yard kick set (same), and another 1,200 yard swim set (same as the first). Once I complete the first swim set, I try to switch to drill mode for the kick part. I press and hold the button to clear the water from the watch speaker, then either swipe or use the touch bezel to try to switch screens to the drill mode screen. The app freezes mid-swipe and is unresponsive. After a minute or so the app resets, and I can start a new workout, but all record of my previous swim set is lost. Any thoughts?

    Hey folks - apologies for the late reply. We released version 2.1 which fixed these issues. Please let us know if you continue to see any freezing or upload issues once you update.

    They are aware of the problem. I have had the same issue for a couple months. Seems like ever since the update with the ECG. I have same occurence, locks up and I lose the data. Seems to lock up around 1000 yards. I have communicated with them and have done resets and updates and it has not changed. They have not responded to me lately. The last thing was they were trying to get the Apple watch to step you thru a workout. When that is successful they will introduce to the Samsung Active 2.

    Yeah, 1000 yards sounds about right, it doesn't seem to happen at lower distances. I thought they got the step function going on Apple watch? I saw an article saying how to use it, I thought...

    I have similar issues with freezing in mid-swipe when ending a workout, resulting in losing the workout - Galaxy Active 2. Compared to the Gearfit 2 Pro I had until last week (and traded in as it was no longer supported by the new version), the app seems to be glitchy as hell on the Active 2.

    Same problem here.  It started on my Galaxy Active 2 so I bought a Galaxy 3 and it happens on there as well.  Has to be a bug in the watch application.

    Just ran into this issue on my first 1000 yard swim with my galaxy watch 4. I assume this is still a problem? Any way to fix it?
