It's hard to tell from the screenshots if you track weight or not, but if you do I highly recommend doing a similar weighted-average system as Libra[1]. Not a lot of apps do this and it's pretty critical to tracking actual weight loss over time. It's based on the thoughts in [2].<p>[1] <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cachapa.libra&hl=en" rel="nofollow">https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cachapa.li...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/www/hackdiet.html</a>
For what it's worth, I use Cardio Trainer for tracking + social sharing. Friends "cheer" me on via Facebook, and I can progress my workouts using a myriad of tools they have. It's unclear what this does beyond that.<p>For what it's worth, if there were an app that helped me know WTF to do when it comes to building muscle tone/size, I'd happily pay for that. To an averagely fit guy (5.5 miles in 60 minutes or so, 2-3 times a week), the weights side of thing is infinitely more complex than the cardio side of things (which amounts to "keep your heart rate within this range for a long time").
Does the video only showcase features that are new to 1.1? Presumably most people going to your website already do <i>not</i> have the app, right?<p>Also, I'd love to see something a little more visual (I skipped the video because I was listening to music) like static screenshots, icons for the features, and a larger call to action at the bottom (at first glance I couldn't find where you actually talked about how to get the app).
This is one app that is aimed at simplicity/ease of use and at same time maintain the flavor of social driven motivation. My wife and I have been using it for quite some-time. We often go out to do something motivated by seeing others doing something. I really like the simplicity of this app without losing the purpose.
I have seen this evolve since Durga released an early beta to friends and family.<p>The evolution has been fantastic with better app design as he got more users and feedback.<p>I still keep telling him to hire a designer to make it look prettier, but he is nailing the functionality first! :)
hey durga, I like the simplicity but for me it isn't useful. There are many other apps that do a similar thing.<p>I want an app with workouts I can share with friends, so we can try to do the same workouts remotely.<p>A friend of mine wanted to start strength training for rock climbing. First finding an app that creates a progressive workout is non-existant. (and if it did exist, it probably sucks) Second, there isn't an app that you can share scheduled workouts with another user and keep each other accountable.
