I find it odd that USMS doesn't have a mobile app yet. For those of us who use the FLOG, a mobile app would make logging our workouts so much more convenient than having to wait until we're at a desktop to remember and log our sets.
Wouldn't even need to be a mobile app, per se, just a mobile optimized site!
Yes, a mobile-friendly theme on the main site would be nice for sure! I've just upgraded most of my websites to mobile-friendly themes recently as Google has started using it as a ranking measure in SEO.
Flog and ability to view membership card would be excellent. I think that the ability to see meet results (individual) as well as upcoming events would be great. Thanks for considering what options to develop :)
USMS would like to know what features you'd want to see in a mobile app. You've already mentioned being able to enter your FLOG yardage. What else? For example, would you like to be able to view your USMS membership card?

Hi there - if you could get the FLOG info to "talk" to the Lose It app - automatically send the FLOG info to Lose It - so that I don't have to enter it twice, that would be nice. The Fitbit app and Strava app "talks" to the Lose It app, so I think it can be done.
It'd be great to have a beta-test app that only has FLOG entries. Then if you can also get the card on it later, all the better. Any additional features (like linking to Apple Watches, My Fitness Pal, etc) would be icing on the cake. But don't delay getting out an app (or mobile-friendly FLOG entry site) until you're ready with all the bells an whistles, please. Thanks!
It will be helpful if we mention all the things we would like to have included to the person that will try to make this happen.
Good moments from above are a good start.
