am loving my apps

[macast]

just wanted to thank everyone who recommended SportyPal on the android phones... it is brilliant. makes me want to walk further and faster just to beat my last results lol (other activities in the app too)

also for anyone who wants to have a great app for inputting BG levels and activity and food etc I can recommend OnTrackDiabetes..... means I have all my results to hand without fiddling about with my meter and diary and pc to track my results

the beauty of both of these apps is they are free..... and free is always good 😉

Hi macast,could i ask if your phone is contract or pay as you go please. I am not very good with mobiles, only ever make calls or send texts, but if i could get those apps free on p.a.y.g. then i would buy an Android phone.

my phone is payg on O2. I have 300 texts and unlimited internet but have to pay for calls. I run the phone for about ?10 per month or less (all depends on whether I call many people). I bought a new phone on tuesday and they told me in the shop that I would be paying a fortune for the service.... but I've spent no more than on my old old old phone which took forever to access the internet lol. the smartphone cost just over ?100 so not one of the expensive ones. not sure if I can advertise which phone it is so just pm me if you want to know... but I'm sure if you go to a shop you will find one you like. there are some excellent deals over the internet... better than in most of the shops too but try out the phone in a shop first

ps.... the advantage of getting the phone at the shop (although you might pay more) is that if you are like me and useless with technology they will set it all up for you and transfer all your numbers 🙂

Thank you very much for all the info, will pop into my local O2 shop on Monday and do a bit of investigating.

SportyPal is an app on the Android market... and it is free. I'm not techy but it uses the gps and knows where you are and so will give you the mileage you do and gives a map of the route you have done... also shows you in a graph how fast you were going thoughout the walk/run/etc

the apps should be there as they are on the Android market

does anyone know about these things??

BB is short for blackberry so won't be compatible with android apps though i'm sure there is something similar available

also CardioTrainer on the android is good, sounds similar to SportyPal
