Argus: Pedometer Step Tracker

This million dollar app is so good it should be picked up by Apple and offered for free on every iPhone users dashboard. Argus invested deep pocket money to make this app simply sensational. Sleep tracking with heart rate monitoring. Wake up to world wide friends and have social support. Become 10% happier by being genuinely glad for their success. Why, because you actually see those friends post every day for years. You see some people use exercise, others runners, so much variety. The tile dashboard leads you through next steps throughout the day. Your health is one step at a time. You can picture without limitation everything about yourself. That's accountability. You then can comment how it makes you feel. The app has a rich resource of tracking prior results in its reports feature. Learn if your perceptions about yourself are really true. Compare the effect of one activity on another aspect. Day you wanted to find out if meditation effected heart rate. You will be motivated to actually see good days, struggle days in pictures. You will have an Argus family who sticks with this app for multi years. Thats the oregano factor.

Pros: you can set health goals such as how many steps a day you want to walk, how many calories a day you want to intake, how many glasses of water a day you want to drink, and it will remind you throughout the day to drink water etc. I love how this app has everything you need integrated into one app. I’m not sure how this isn’t the #1 rated health app! It’s way better than Fitness Pal. It has a fun feature to challenge a friend to see who can walk the most steps. You can scan barcodes to have nutrition info automatically entered. If you cook, you can create recipes to input nutritional info & save them for the future if needed again. If you go walking/running you can turn on the GPS to track where you walked. Just so many cool features, I could go on and on... Cons: There are some features that you have to pay for to access, such as only being able to manually enter calories but you have to pay for the subscription to enter the rest like carbs, protein & fat. You can scan a barcode of the food & it will show you everything including the carbs, protein & fat. But to enter a recipe manually, you don’t have access to that unless you pay the subscription. That’s the only thing I don’t like about this app.

Ok this app is really cool the heart rate checker is amazing no other device but your phone requires the way it keeps track of sleep and everything is great but it will not easily record any exercise but the ones they have in workout plans that you have to pay MONTHLY for. To put in your own workout requires you to find the library (very bottom of a long page with exercise routines that seem like you can enter in your time and reps i.e. Full body, cardio, etc but all ask for money), figure out what they call that exercise (places do have different names for them all) and then select but then it wants to start a timer as though it thinks your doing the exercise then it does not have a way to select a time you did the workout for. I much prefer to be able to do the workout and then record. I'm not doing my exercise while being interrupted by dealing with resetting and finding each exercise in the library or guessing what would be close. Essentially, they are trying to get you to buy their monthly plans by making that difficult otherwise. It took me awhile to even figure out how to get to one you could enter yourself. Otherwise it's cool but again limited without paying monthly. As in it'll show your bpm, sleep, diet, somewhat exercise, but won't give you anything else not if that's normal or if it needs improvement let alone how to help. The monthly isn't cheep unless you sign up for a full year but still I don't really want to give money like that rather pay for an app once than every month or every year.
