Because a human is basically a drooling positive reinforcement driven Pavlovian dog when it comes to exercise, when working out I would love to have positive feedback when I have completed a target time / distance / calorie count in the workout app.

Currently feedback is given when I complete the workout or when a daily activity goal is met, but I would also like to have at least a brief tap when the target I set has been reached. This would be helpful also in workouts where you are specifically asked to complete a certain time / distance before moving onto a subsequent step.

Comments

The lack of feedback at completing the target is especially unsatistfying as I am given a notification when I am halfway to the target, but nothing follows when I reach it.

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set a workout target time / distance / calorie count. 2. Complete the workout target.

Expected Results: A tap and a pling to note I have completed the target.

Actual Results: Nothing happens before I mark the workout complete.
