You’re invited to submit an app to the Google Fit Developer Challenge
With the recent
launch
of the Google Fit platform, we hope to spur innovation in the world of fitness apps and
devices that encourage users to have a more active lifestyle. To expand the ecosystem and help
users get a more comprehensive view of their fitness, we’re excited to announce the
Google
Fit Developer Challenge in partnership with adidas, Polar, and
Withings.
We’re inviting you to create and showcase an app, or update an existing app, that integrates
with Google Fit. The submission deadline is
February 17, 2015. Our selected
judges will choose up to six new apps and six existing apps for Fit, as the winners. The
judges are looking for fitness apps that are innovative, fun to use, keep users coming back,
offer users real benefit, and meet the Android
design
and
quality
guidelines.
Challenge winners will be featured on Google Play in front of Android users around the world.
Runners-ups will also receive prizes, in the form of smart devices from Google, adidas, Polar,
and Withings, so that they can continue to tinker and improve their fitness apps with the
latest hardware.
Check
out the challenge website to find out how to enter*. You will also find some helpful
resources to find inspiration. We encourage you to join the
Google Fit Developer
Community on Google+ to discuss your ideas and the challenge.
