So a friend of mine told me about this application that you download on your phone (mine's a droid with the android operating system, so i'm not sure if it's on the iphones or not). It's a fun app although i'm starting to question it's accuracy with distance. The app tells you how far you've gone, keeps a timer, and also your speed. it also calculates calories that you've burned (although i don't think it knows about inclines, plus i carry a 5 pound weight with me, so i think i'm burning more than it says) Anyway, it's a fun companion to walk with, it has voice alerts like ".50 miles in 10 minutes" or "walking speed of 15 minutes per mile" which is fun. The problem is, that i walked the EXACT same rount as i did yesterday and today it tells me i did a half mile MORE than yesterday!! wtf mate?! This app is free with some fun features. One i want to try but i haven't figured it out yet, is called Move Your Bot (yes, bot not bod) where the more you excersize the more you get the droid bot to move, and then your friends can compete on facebook. something i'd like to try! you can also rank yourself with others around the world. Anyway, it's a fun app, it's free, and i was wondering if anyone else has tried it, and if so, did you notice weird things with the distance counter??
