All-In Yoga HD for iPad Review

All-In Yoga HD for iPad Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Developer: ARAWELLA CORPORATION
Price: $4.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0
Device Reviewed On: iPad

iPad Integration Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
User Interface Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Re-use Value Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Overall Rating: 4.33 out of 5 stars

The iPad is quickly establishing itself as more than a simple media consumption device — more than just a viewing/listening device for movies, books and music. Some developers are beginning to see the potential for the iPad as an actual teaching device, one that can interact and grow with students as they develop skills. All-In Yoga HD is part of this new vanguard of apps. It is not without a few minor issues, but it does show how the iPad can improve on the standard book or even video approach for teaching a skill.

Opening the All-In Yoga app presents users with a small, simple number of options. You can look at the pose base, a composite encyclopedia of all available yoga poses in the app, or the “My Programs” section, which allows you to choose from several ready-made yoga routines (ranging from beginners to advance/guru) or design your own based upon your own needs. Once you have selected or created a program, you can save it and run it at any time.

When you start a yoga program, you have the option of having pose instructions spoken, playing background music (currently limited to in-app music – no integration with your iTunes library at this point) and even having pose videos play in some cases. Each pose is timed and will automatically proceed to the next after the assigned time passes.

Once you have completed a yoga routine/program, the calendar on the home screen marks the date of your yoga, the time you spent in the routine, and which routine you worked through. This is a handy feature for anyone wishing to track their development as a yoga student and a great inclusion in the app.

If there is one nit to pick with All-In Yoga HD (and, thankfully, there seems to be only this one), it’s that it is severely gender-biased towards women. Everything, from the app icon to the background screens in-app, is pink with flowers everywhere. The poses are all performed by women, though, strangely, the audio instructions are spoken by a man. I’m not proposing that the developer have a male version and a female version – just a more gender neutral app. I’m sure there are many men (myself included) who practice yoga and would like to feel included in an app as strong and useful as this.

All-In Yoga HD is an impressive app for anyone interested in beginning a yoga routine or growing further as a yoga student. Gender bias aside, it is a fantastic app, and one that shows the potential of the iPad as a teaching/learning device.

Youate is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

“Youate” is an app that aimed to become the simplest meal balance in the world.

What will you eat at the next lunch?

We know the dietary balance to be important for health and beauty. Moreover, we know it only has to decide the dish in consideration the balance. However, it cannot be done. Because the management was very troublesome.

For example, I ate a salad and bread for breakfast. They mean “principal 1 and side dish 2”. I should write it down in the notebook and calculate the relation to the amount necessary for a day. Next, it is lunch. I ate soup and pasta. So, the record is “pricipal 2 and side dish 2”. And, it is dinner… I had to take out the management table every time to know an insufficient item at each meal, and to fill it in. It was necessay to calculate before the meal.

Can you continue such work of disgusted every day?

Then, “Youate” appears.

With “Youate”, you only choose what you ate. And, it ends. Youate will calculate the recommended food for the next time. You can refer to it before hesitating what you eat.

[Feature]

1.Balance graph

It is difficult work to understand bias of food only in the head. Youate shows you the balance for a day or 1 week in the bar chart. You intuitively understand the food that your body requests.

2.Recommendation

It is complex work that deciphers a past graph. Youate advises on the best recommendation dish by an original computational method. You are liberated from the hesitation at the dish choice of the lunch.

3.Easy input

The input of the name of a detailed dish and the place where you ate is time-consuming. Nevertheless, it is not so useful. Youate doesn’t request a useless input. You choose the eaten dish from the list. It is only it. Therefore, it is easy to continue.

Please use it once. Thank you,

[How to use]

1.Let’s record what you ate.

Push “Record” button. ?Push “+” button. ? Choose an item near the food you ate. ? Push “Save” button.

2.Let’s see “Recommendation”.

As a result of the automatic calculation, it is added to “Recommendation” items of “Balance” page. Let’s refer to them when being eat next time.

FitClick Diet & Workout Tracker Review

FitClick Diet & Workout Tracker Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Developer: FitClick
Price: $3.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0.2

iPhone Integration Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 3.33 out of 5 stars

We can all agree, in theory, that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine is a good idea. Implementing them? Eh, well…

FitClick’s Diet & Workout Tracker takes the calorie-counting “food journal” idea and combines it with a workout tracker, allowing you to keep track of diet and exercise all in one app. The premise is that by setting daily goals and keeping track of your habits, you’ll be able to maintain a healthier lifestyle.

To use FitClick, you must first register with FitClick.com and select your diet/exercise plan in accordance with your goals (track workouts only? carb reduction? healthy lifestyle?). From there you can start using the app. On the main menu, “Calorie Balance” will display your daily caloric balance: daily goal – calories eaten + calories burned = how many additional calories you can eat for the day.

For that to work, you’ll need to use the “Diet Tracker,” which tracks meals. Five “meals” are built into each day; you can add multiple foods to each meal and tweak their serving sizes. For adding foods, you can use either the vast built-in catalog or create a “custom” item.

Workout tracking works similarly: pick an exercise, select a duration, and the app will tell you how many calories you’ve burned. I find this to be finicky at best; often the calculated calories are highly inaccurate. You’ll need to adjust the time to compensate, which is a pain.

All of your information is synced to the FitClick.com website, which is a great resource and superior to the app in many ways. The syncing is flawless, and online access is very useful.

As for the app’s design…well, it’s lacking, and takes far too many taps-per-task. Why can’t I choose from commonly-eaten foods? Why separate meals at all? What’s the point? The interface too often obstructs the app’s functionality, which is a shame.

Other than its bloated interface and rigid, inaccurate way of measuring burned calories, FitClick is actually a robust app. The food database is good, and the website is wonderful. Whether or not you can get past the interface and incorporate it into your daily routine, however, is up to you. FitClick isn’t perfect, but it’s a robust start.

Running Log – Some of us just want to track our data and don’t really want fancy GPS mapping or a trainer to tell us what to do. For those folks, Running Log may be the ticket, an app that simply lets you record your runs and make notes about them as to effort, duration, intensity, etc. See your stats in a handy report screen, or flip your iPhone sideways to landscape mode and see a visualisation graph of your entered data. Simple and effective for runners who already have their plans and runs in place.

Runkeeper Pro also includes interval training systems with voice prompts, iPod and playlist integration (start specific playlists when you start running), geo-tagged photo capabilities, time splits, and more.

lolo Burn Is A Real Running Trainer is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

I personally love fitness training apps, especially the ones that tell me what to do at all times. My problem when working out, and this is especially true with running, is that I always want to stop. I can use RunKeeper all day, but after I get past mile 2-3, I start losing interest fast.

lolo Burn is the first running trainer that I know of that not only tracks your progress on a treadmill, but also talks to you along the way. it tells you, in a nice, calm voice (voiced by a real person named Britani, not a scary computer voice) that you need to run for X number of minutes of X speed and X incline. The lolo voice doesn’t quite have the motivational skills that my old soccer coach possessed, but I also don’t have to be afraid of balls being thrown at my head.

For a bit of extra push, lolo Burn also includes 24 fitness tracks (you can also use your own music) that matches beats with your running pace. The built in music is the typical stuff that you would expect to hear in a Lifetime Fitness aerobics class, but if that’s your thing then you are set.

Pick up lolo Burn today for $4.99 at your local App Store, and enjoy your run!

All-in Fitness Review is a post from: Best Iphone Apps Review Website

Price: $1.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0

Calorie counting, body measuring, and workout logging are the life staples of the gym rat. People who are in the gym 4-7 days a week aren’t messing around with their training. They want to see results, no matter how small. Many people find that using the good ‘ol pen and paper tracking method is a bit archaic, so for these workout warriors, digital versions are the way to go.

Apps like All-In Fitness are really not for the average dieter. I’m sure that there will be plenty that will buy the app and love it, but it really takes a dedicated soul to track every bit of your life that pertains to fitness. Like the average day of a hardcore gym goer, All-in Fitness is very demanding, so proceed only if you plan on sticking to it.

As for the app itself, it is a very polished fitness app that is very easy to get around. The main screen is laid out in four sections, My Workouts, Exercise Base, Food & Calories, and Body Tracker. Exercise Base and Body Tracker are fairly straightforward, with the Exercise Base showing you how to do just about every exercise on the planet, complete with the exercises history and a video, and Body Tracker tracks your body measurements over time.

The My Workouts area is where the meat of the app is. Instead of just giving you an area to write in your workout (which it does have), there is also a “Quick Recipes” feature that gives you customized workouts like “Killer Abs” and “Top Gun Muscle Gain”, and a “Personal Trainer” that customizes your workout based on your body and your goals. Everything you do, workout wise, is tracked on the main calendar (which also tracks everything else you do in the app), so you can see your gains as soon as you make them.

The other main section is the “Food & Calories” section. in it, you get your personalized daily calorie goal based on your age, height, and weight. You have to add in all your daily activities in this area so that they will work into your daily calorie burn, so if you burn 1000 calories working out, you can eat an extra 1000 to maintain weight. The major component of the Food section is the food tracker. When you add food, you get to search through a giant food base, filled with full nutritional information from most chain type restaurants, most popular brand foods that you can buy at the grocery store (including supermarket brands), and a section to add in your own calorie content in case you eat out somewhere unique.

Again, if you have it in you to be extremely diligent with your fitness routine, All-in Fitness is a great choice. It really does have everything that one would need to track just about anything fitness related, and isn’t limiting in its features. Pick it up for less that the price of a double double at In-N-Out Burger… which will be fine since your diet won’t allow you to ever eat one again.
