Can anyone give me tips on how to exercise whilst in a wheelchair. My upper body is moderately fit as I have a manual wheelchair. I just cannot find an app that includes wheelchair users. Any ideas please.

These aren't apps but they still might provide some useful information. You could use a regular app and modify certain exercises as needed, once you know what the modifications are. Many people have to make modifications of one sort or another. Do you have rehab trainer or physical therapist who might have some resources?

Wow, great resources, thanks!
I've been interested in wearing a fitness tracker, and thus far it seems the Apple Watch is the only one with a program for wheelchair users. I think it adjust for incline and terrain, even. I really want one, but it's kinda pricey for me!1
