Impressive
Ive had a lot of health problems and about a year ago I started to have to start tracking my health, meds, exercise and even keep all my own health records on hand so Ive done a great deal of research and have been building a collection of apps to help so Ive looked at a bunch of apps and programs.
Admittedly I just downloaded and tried a few tasks in the app but assuming its not buggy, I really love it. Im not into fitness and really dont like spending a lot of time keeping up with all the crap that seems to go along with keeping up with my health and that lack of enthusiasm drives many if my decisions of what to use.
This has a nice, clean interface, its easy to use and doesnt focus on any one part of my fitness. Theres no one app that tracks everything (exercise, meds, records, hardware interfaces) and this fits in very well with the other apps I have for the other stuff.
I thought about giving it 4 stars because there are a few very small issues but they dont really affect the quality. I noticed a small grammar error so I assume there may be a few more. The balance task says to close your eyes and put your hands on your hips as you time yourself by hitting start/stop in the app. You cant do both but thats easy enough to figure out. Also it says (something like) do the test a few times then apply the test you want to keep. I did so and the message implied that it kept the data from all the tests.
Also I have a pacemaker so some results arent as would usually be expected. And due to medical conditions my BP is intentionally high. For the masses this probably isnt important but it would be nice if the app would allow some metrics to be overridden.
Overall, the app is a keeper and I look forward to using it.
[Off topic] FYI to readers - I mentioned that I use other apps, etc for overall health. Ive spent MANY hours researching and trying various apps and hardware. I use the FitBit bracelet and app for realtime activity tracking. I use Microsoft HealthVault app and website for records management (I dont care for MS but HeathVault stands out as the platform in coming years and is starting to work with VA records). Also, a lot of hardware will write to it. I bought a ProForm treadmill because of their iFit module (it doesnt work well - they dont seem to understand technology but it seems to be the best there is). Ive found nothing good for med tracking. Maybe a med app is a good next step for this developer. HTH
