push-ups

Description: The Push-ups application helps you to count the correct push-ups you have done

The “Push-ups” application helps you to count the correct push-ups you have done. Further more, it will remind you about the time to push-up in accordance with your training schedule, shows the plan of your trainings and let you share your achievement to your friends in Facebook and Twitter. Also you can take part in a competition and win prizes!
To count the push-ups:
Choose the mode and the quantity of push-ups
Put your Android under your chest
If you do the push-ups (your chest was close enough to Android Phone) correctly you hear the sound

Cost: Free

Developer: HippoApp

Push-ups by HippoApp does an adequate job of counting push ups. The only thing is you need to go all the way down and get your chest really close to your phone for it to record a push up. It’s better than all those other push up counters that require you to touch your nose to your phone. With Push-ups, you don’t have to touch your phone, you just have to get really close to it. There should be some settings to either calibrate or set the proximity between you and the phone to count a push up, in case you either can’t or don’t want to go all the way down.

Push-ups records statistics by date and allows you to set alerts by either time or count, but it would really benefit from a training program, like other push up apps have.

Push-ups has the potential to be a great push up app if they add a few options.

Developer: ViTrox Technologies

What’s My Heart Rate amazingly works. I compared What’s My Heart Rate with a running heart rate monitor connected around my chest. What’s My Heart Rate was accurate to within 2 – 3 beats per minute. To get an accurate reading, make you are using it in a well lit environment and hold the camera in front of your face as steady as possible. It may take a while to start reading your heart rate.

What’s My Heart Rate should be mainly used as a novelty. There are other heart rate monitor apps that provide more functions, like the Instant Heart Rate app. What’s My Heart Rate measure allows you to share your heart rate measurement via email or other social networking site. Though there’s no way to save your heart rate measurements.

Though What’s My Heart Rate may not be the easiest to use or have the most functions of the heart rate monitor apps available to Android, it’s pretty cool to be able to measure your heart rate using a picture of your face.

Body Fat Calculator by FullQuieting

Description:  Determine your body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) with a few convenient measurements.  It is a useful supplement to those interested in monitoring their general health and fitness, and those involved in sports.  Includes instructions and diagnostics.

Version: 2.2.5

Cost: Free

Developer: FullQuieting

Ever wonder how much of a fat ass you are?  Try the Body Fat Calculator.  Put down the bacon and fried cheese curds for 5 minutes and take some measurements from your bulging waist line.  Enter your weight and height and what you estimate is your muscular development to calculate your Body Fat percentage and BMI.  I’m not sure how accurate it is but with my measurements, I came out at 8.1 % body fat, which I think is close to what my body fat % is.  I’ll update once I get into a hydrostatic tank.

Alcohol Calculator by Klaus Nutakor

Description: This application is a simple tool to calculate your blood alcohol content (BAC). Using Watson Algorithm.

It is also possible to calculate how many you can drink to get a custom BAC.

No guarantee. These values are estimations. Every person is different so the real BAC differs also.

Don’t drink and drive!

Version: 1.0.3

Cost: Free

Developer: Klaus Nutakor

How many times have I been drinking and wondered “hmm, I wonder what my blood alcohol level is?”. Never because I’m more worried about not praying to the porcelain gods at the end of the night. Or “hmm, I wonder if I’ve drank too much to drive?”. Never. I don’t drink and drive. And neither should you!

Even if I was stupid enough to do that, I wouldn’t trust an App to tell me. But this isn’t the point of the app.

It’s a novel app that calculates your blood alcohol level like the blood alcohol level calculators you would find on most websites.  It calculates BAC based on sex, height, weight, age, alcohol strength, time of first and last drink, and meal size you ate.   It can calculate the BAC or the amount do drink to reach a desired BAC.  I don’t find much need for it but you might. You alcoholic!

It didn’t seem to calculate the BAC correctly if you set your last drink at 12:00 AM. Ex. I set my first drink at 9 PM and my last drink at 11:59 PM, my BAC was .08282. If I set my last drink at 12:00 AM, my BAC is .11762. Or maybe I’m drunk and my calculation is off.

MealCalc_items

Are you a person who likes to watch their calories?  I’m not, so I’m probably not the best person to review this App.  I eat sensibly, but don’t fret about every little calorie I eat.  I found out recently each Tim Tam (delicious biscuits from Australia) are 90 calories each.  Try a Tim Tam Slam. So I didn’t go crazy eating the whole package at once and limited myself to 2 or 3 a day.

If you do like to track your calories, MealCalc may be able to help you out.  You can search from their vast database by food types or brand and enter the amount.  Or add a customized item.

Though you can’t save multiple lists of foods.

Edit – I’m not sure if this is on the Android Market anymore
