MoveMore Fitness app

We created this app spring 2023 with my class mate for our final project. the class is about learning how to create android apps using Kotline so that;s what we did. The app lets users choose outdoor activities, such as running or walking. Before starting, the app asks permission to use the phone's GPS. This helps ensure that it can accurately track where users go and how they perform during their activities. As users move, the app uses GPS to record their route and how well they do. After they finish their workout, the app shows detailed information about their exercise, like the time, distance, and their velocity. The recorded route can be saved to the local storage.
