I love Moves but it never supported the iPod 6th Gen with an M8 chip.

Well, it has been updated and still doesn't support it. But if you can download via iTunes, transfer using iFunbox and it works. Steps and activities are detected and considering it has no GPS at all, it seems to track my route pretty accurately with WIFI only.

Have fun! :)
 
Yes, I can confirm it tracks cycling. It was only about 0.2 miles out compared to Moves on a phone with GPS. The time was the same. It actually uses the M8 activity detection and works faster and without a network, so although it doesn't install it does work perfect.
 
Note: If a new version of Moves is released, remove the current Moves. Then restart twice. Then install via iFunbox again and ok everything that pops up.
 
update: New version detects travel, running, cycling, walking, even with WiFi off and uses hardly any battery and accurately too.
