Mobile Apps - which ones are you using?

MariadfdCruz · June 2014

I just found out one app for android mobile phone that we take pics from our meals. I was thinking this is a good idea and I decided to write a post here to ask if you have another suggestion or if you are already using this app:

"See what I eat" => https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.exh.swie

For exercises I am using "Runtastic Road Bike" which is possible to link with MFP.

I am here for 15 days and I still need to discover a lot.

Do use "Endomondo" which you also can link With MFP. Really Nice
Hehe well use and use though. Still Learning to might be more right to say.
Used RunKeeper earlyer and might go back to using that one (aslo able to linke with MFP)
If someone have better use of others me too are interested

I use Wahoo Fitness on my iPhone, paired with a BlueTooth HRM, when I run. I bought the HRM on eBay for $20 and it looks identical to the Wahoo one but without the logo, for 1/3 the price.

Wahoo Fitness is a brilliant app, with multiple screens focussing on different things, so you can choose what's important to you and change the screen by flicking thru as you run. It syncs with MFP, as well as RunKeeper and most other similar apps. It provides a very simple way of automatically uploading an accurate calorie count to MFP from cardio work and it is easily the best designed fitness app I have used (and I've tested almost all of them). It's free.

Strava & Garmin Connect, as I use a Garmin Edge 500 for cycling (and running with a wrist mount) and a Garmin Swim (for swimming, strangely enough). But mainly Strava.

Considering a Garmin VivoFit as well, so would probably keep more of an eye on Garmin Connect, but it's not as intuitive or as inspirational as pushing for a KoM on Strava.

I used to use Endomondo but i have a lot of connection problems where I am now so it's not very accurate for me. It sometimes had me running in the ocean

So had to delete it. But when I was back in Canada, it was AWESOME.

Otherwise, I use:
- Skimble, a workout app, has strength and yoga workouts with both dumbell and body weight workouts
- <30 days which is a Canadian Heart and Stroke foundation app to promote healthy lifestyle changes... it give you a challenge a day to complete... they're pretty easy and open ended so very possible to do
- Just 6 Weeks - has programs to help you do up to 200 push ups, squats, situps, tricep dips and pull ups... as the name suggests, in 6 weeks. I've gotten about half way through the triceps and squats, and a week through push ups and sit ups but then switched to doing 30 day shred instead... though the app is still pretty good
- Tabata! as the name suggests- offers tabata programs with alternating exercises- all body weight stuff, no equipment
- moves to track my steps
- Spitfire has some pretty awesome work outs on it but I've never done a full program
- weightTrend+ to track my weight (I step on the scale quite frequently and use this to track the ups and downs, though generally only log on MFP on Weds if there's a loss)
- FoxTube - this is an app which saves videos from YouTube on your phone. Not technically a workout app but I have 30 day shred and yoga videos saved on there which I do. I've also made playlists for songs that I can run to on there... I tend to use it basically through my entire workout.

Keep in mind that I have an Iphone, so not all of these apps will be available... though apps are great to have, they help with finding new workouts to do so you don't get bored
