inKin, a popular social fitness platform has released the Windows Phone app they had earlier promised.

inKin is a platform which lets you connect the data from a wide variety of fitness tracker devices and share it with your friends. The platform lets you view other users’ achievements, challenges, and makes it easier to compete with your friend who does not use the same fitness band as you.

The service supports:

The Moves app

The app features:

LIVE FEED: collect your health and fitness data from different fitness devices and apps. You can connect as many devices as you like, and choose which activity trackers show which metrics on your metric page.
GOALS: set goals for different fitness metrics to help you stay focused on your progress.
CHALLENGES & COMPETITIONS: join and create different challenges and competitions for steps, calories burned, distance, and active time. Challenge – you have to reach either your daily or total goal during a certain period. A participant completes the challenge once he or she meets the requirements. Competition – the participant who reaches the highest metric (steps, calories burnt, distance, activity time) wins the contest. A private contest is visible only to friends you want to compete with. A public contest is visible to all inKin users – anyone can join and participate in public contests.
DUELS: choose an opponent and start a 24-hour head-to-head step challenge. Once the duel has been accepted, it will begin the next day. Your results will be announced after 24 hours.
