Turn fitness in friendly competition with application iPhone Superproof

3 of the 5 bars price: FreeTASTY: access challenges to amp up your activity level.BUMMER: If your GPS signal is spotty, find the provided challenges can be difficult.COOL: Add your personal vices to customize the app calculations.

Many people hire personal trainers to stay motivated to hit the gym and keep in shape, but your iDevice can be just as useful. There are many trainers of fitness in the App Store, but Superproof for iPhone and iPod Touch, is the first I saw who argue the friend user in mobile fitness game.


Superproof, users can follow activities such as running, walking and skate, which use your GPS to track. Once you start an activity, the app will follow your time, distance, speed, burn calories, and rhythms that follow your route on a map. If you are active in the gym or at home, drag the right of the screen to access a database of locations in the vicinity of manually track your movement.


His challenge section is part of the fun of Superproof. The application can generate a random challenge, or you can have a friend to create a specific task and vice versa. I got the app generate some random challenges for me - to go to each, I would have to walk to a set of coordinates provided. Once at the location (think geochaching), you can access the task. But because of GPS urban congestion, I couldn't reach my location to retrieve my task. I was able to get within 13 feet of the element of the imagination. I am sure part of the problem is that pin heading me in an intersection crowded; the other issue is that the GPS has been unable to maintain a consistent, often changing distance reading. The challenges are torsion neat on the promotion of the activity, but I think that developers should consider a range of acceptable distance for city dwellers, maybe 15 feet or retrieve the clue, rather than being directly above of this.


Superproof will record your activities and earned trophies, or you can set targets of active how you want to be every month (say, three days a week). Users can also add defects to customize more output from the app. Enter an item and it is calorie count and the app will calculate how much of this element you burned in your activity, so you can see how hard you have to execute to get rid of this candy. The application can use only your defects or rely on the Superproof database.


Superproof has some glitches: after adjusting my date active, the bottom toolbar icons have been cut in two, and the app has always shown an additional challenge in my Inbox. Also, I wish that there was a stop or return button when you ask the app for a new task. If your GPS signal is weak, the app is blocked to find your location and you will be required to force left.
