RE: Actifit Updates: Delegation Beneficiary System. Trouble Opening Actifit. Witness Status. Payments & More
The first announcement in the post is terrific, and one that I am very happy to see.
As to the second part, while I certainly appreciate the transparency, I'm not sure about the decision. While I haven't been rooting my devices for a while, it's something I've done in the past, as do many open source enthusiasts. I understand that rooted devices may not get the same automated security updates, but there is also no shortage of manufacturers who don't send those out as they should, because of the effort necessary to fit their own layer on top of the OS to whatever changes the update makes. To me, this feels like a misstep. Possibly your first. If you have strong, solid reasoning behind it, I'd be interested in reading it.

Hey @didic!
Thank you for your comment and review.
Although we do understand your concerns about the rooted devices, they seem to pose a big security risk due to user's potential ability to manipulate the app data such as recorded activity count and other app parameters.
This is the main reason for the measure we have taken.
We appreciate your always constructive comments :)
