Sports Tracker App

 

Helping you train better since 2004

Sports Tracker is an award-winning application and online service developed by a passionate team of outdoor sports enthusiasts and mobile experts, in cooperation with our users.
We’re on a mission here: we want to help people train better, connect through sports, and live healthier, happier lives. And we want to do this using mobile phones: the fact is, after all, that most outdoor enthusiasts already have sports computers their pockets in the form of smartphones – those gadgets just need to be activated with the right application.

By joining the Sports Tracker service and downloading the free application to your smartphone, you’ll launch your training to a whole new level. Easily track and analyze your exercises and have fun training by sharing your workouts and photos with your friends and other similar-minded people via the Sports Tracker community, Facebook and Twitter. You’ll enjoy monitoring the development of your progress like never before.
Sports Tracker is one of Nokia Ovi Store’s most downloaded applications, with millions of downloads from more than 200 countries. The combined tracked distance by our users reached a whopping 130 million kilometers in September 2011.
And the distance is increasing ever more rapidly, with the introduction of our iPhone, Android and Windows Phone applications.

A bit about our background

We started Sports Tracker in 2004 while working at Nokia. Our application was the first of its kind for mobile phones, so we can safely say the we’re the category founder and leader in our field. Our original vision was to come up with an easy and fun training application that would help people train better and connect them with each other.
Back then there were no phones with GPS, no smart phones, no Google maps. But like runners preparing for a marathon, we knew that if we’d just sweat it out, we’d reach our goal.
And here we are seven years later on our own (after a successful spin-off from Nokia). As of today, after millions of downloads and with an ever-increasing group of active trackers worldwide, we’re still the same sports enthusiasts and mobile geeks ourselves who want to carry on developing Sports Tracker and help people train better and enjoy themselves.

Vodafone Salisbury 5/30 Mystery Shop

Vodafone Salisbury Score a dreadful 5/30 for Mystery Shop

APPROACH
There was no initial interaction with any member of staff as i had to take a ticket and wait,
When i did get to speak to someone they seamed very rushed and not willing to help this was possibly due to the size of the queue that had formed and were using the queue chopping method (OK i gets the queue down and stops customers from complaining about the length of time but is that actually giving great service...)
( Due to long waiting times with very little customer service i must give them a 2/10)

PROCESS
During the whole process i felt it very dull, robotic, there was very little effort to get information from me what so ever no open questions,  To me there was obviously no process at all as the sales person was constantly looking over my shoulder and staying behind the counter. (OK they were short staffed however a little nod or smile to people to let them know that they were there would be good start)
(What can i say really about the process,there was no process!!, i waited 20mins in the queue without any acknowledgement i was there that why I'm giving a 2/10)

CLOSE
After i waited for 20mins in the queue i asked what i was in here for i said i wanted the new galaxy s 3 they shifted there eyes and said its not out now but the galaxy s 2 is out and is equally as good, so to attempt to close the sale they tried selling me a completely different product in which is the previous model to the one i went in for... OMG are you stupid no one in there right minds would go for a older model.. They could have attempted to pre order one for me or do someone other than sell me a older phone and miss lead me by saying its 'pretty much the same'
(After being shocked of the outcome of the close I'm giving them a 1/10)

CONCLUSION
A shocking visit overall, as a loyal customer of 8 yrs i expected more. They clearly have issues with customer interaction and feel that the ticket machine is a great substitute for customer satisfaction. I can clearly say that after Queueing up like cattle and then  speaking to someone over the counter like your at the post office is not a great experience. The result for my Dreadful visit is 5/30

Phones 4u SPLIT with Three

Three and Phones 4u are terminating their trading relationship

Phones 4u will no longer offer Three contracts in its stores.The split is attributed by Phones 4u to Three’s strategy of upgrading customers directly.

A Phones 4u Assistant Manager said: ‘Three has a direct strategy with its customers, including Three performing all of its customer upgrades through its own channels.

'Phones 4u’s strategy is to build a strong relationship with its customers throughout their lives. We value long-term relationships with our network operator partners where we can add value to their mobile journeys.

'In light of our diverging strategies, Phones 4u and Three have decided to no longer maintain our relationship. Given the minimal level of connections in the last few years this will not impact either the Phones 4u or Three business.’

Three confirmed the split. A spokesman said: ‘We are not looking to trade with Phones 4u going forward.’
