[Android] Cinch - A health and fitness solution that keeps you motivated! - Paid Software Announcement and Discussion

Hi,
I just released Cinch. It integrates fresh daily motivation and tracks your weight, heart rate, steps, and calories. It integrates with Android Wear to capture your heart rate throughout the day, and integrates with Google Fit to track all of your stats. Cinch also uses a few "mind tricks" to keep you motivated. Some of them are obvious, and others are more subtle. They all work together to keep you on track. On top of all of that, it's beautifully designed.

Features
- An innovative weight loss tracker that shows your progress. Instead of just showing you how much further you have to go, Cinch also shows you how far you've come!
- Motivation right when you need it most. Cinch shows you a feed of hand-picked motivators to get you away from temptation and keep you on track.
- An automatic heart rate tracker that works with Android Wear devices to track your heart rate throughout the day and during workout sessions.
- An integrated step tracker that shows your history, and your progress toward your step goals.
- A unique calorie tracker that shows how many calories you've burned and shows you how your steps and exercise impact your calorie burn. The exercise tracker works with any application that reports your workouts to Google Fit, including RunKeeper and Endomondo.
- A beautiful design that makes sticking to your goals a delightful experience!
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Ryan

Hey, awsome! To things. Are you still going to support heartsync? With updates because it is awsome!
And second a tiny bug in your new app. When you push om check heartrate in the app the circle in the heartsync symbol isn't moving right. But great app!

Thanks! I've removed HeartSync from the market. It's been replaced 100% by Cinch.
I think I found the bug on the heart rate icon. Should be in the next version.
Thanks!
Ryan

Hey,
Found a small bug: I have set checking heartrate to never but keeps checking every 48 hours.

I don't see the 5min interfall of Heart Rate Scan on the Historys chart,
same for the Workout mode,
Where i can see the Heart Rates off my Workout ?

Apps for Runners?

Hey all,
Are there any programs for runners that I can use for my fuze? Specifically, something like a GPS program that will track my route/distance/speed. I've heard this kinda thing exists for other phones, but not heard about this phone.
Thanks.

sorry you had to resort to an iPod...I just puked a little thinking about it
Thanks! Just what I was looking for.
SportyPal is quite good, I'm using it for cycling(very good), but i read now on some thread that for running they have added to show the pace in real time with also all the other tools for measuring speed, distance, calories ...
try RUN.GPS, works very fine on mine.

+1 for SportyPal (sportypal.com). I use it to track my kayak trips down the rivers in the panhandle. It will overlay your path on an aerial photograph and has links with Facebook, so you can share it.
Sportypal is my program of choice. During the cross country season I can give my phone to one of my lead runners and track their pace during intervals and can also tuck it in my jersey pocket when I go on bike rides and have all that data at hand as well. Best thing? It's FREE!
check out endomondo. very nice and free.

I got an e-mail from them, that very soon they will have the option to choose the workout type from the phone as kayaking, rowing or some other interesting type of sports.
I dont think anyone mentioned G-Watch which I have found to be excellent for just what you described.
http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gwatch/about
Some new types of workouts are added:
skiing, rowing, horse riding, driving, flying, sailing, swimming, hiking, paragliding, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, surfing

SmartRunner is one of the best applications for tracking, imho.

Running / Sports applications

Any suggestions / favorites in terms of "Running" applications?
I downloaded the "run.gps" trial, but it's not great. It seems to have a problem with the GPS sensor.
Anyway, there are a number of apps on the market, but I can't seem to find a good, comprehensive list or any reviews, and I was hoping to find a few suggestions from forum members, but I can't seem to find search terms that produce any results.
Thanks!
Buddy Runner by Cooloud. Elevation seems way off but I'm not interested in that. I've tried a few and thats the one I'm sticking with.
I use cardio trainer, i found that the best allthough i had stop the pedometer coming on because it was not very accurate when i have the phone on the waist. Also the gps is not as accurate as a garmin it seems to gain distance for some reason, oh and also it dosnt show splts. So basicly although it fairly good its not great and i have tried a few of them. I got ideas for a app like this and gonna have a crack at doing one but i am only learning so i am not absolutly sure i can do it but if i can it will be perfect for me anyway.
I use sportypal (free) it gives you options for all sorts of activities running, bikes etc. Also maps it for you. Pretty cool app

[APP] Meteor Mania - Updated 28/12/2010

Name: Meteor Mania
Defend your city against a meteor shower in this slick game which seemlessly blends classic arcade games of old with a modern art and sound direction. Utilize four different types of power ups including a forcefield and scatter rockets to rack up a high score.
Destroy multiple meteors with a single missile to get even more points. With a smooth difficulty curve and a newgame+ system this game is high on replay value and low on downtime many arcade games suffer from as players excel at them.
There's never a dull moment in Meteor Mania!
Changelog:
28/12/2010:
Trial gameplay time has been increased from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Reticule becomes redder as health depletes.

Update coming next week which increases trial gameplay time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.
Let me know what you think of the game!
A working download link would be great. Thanks.
The link works for me...
Bought it!
Awesome! What do you think of it? Any ideas for improvements, etc?
My thumbs need a break!!! This game is a lot of fun! Some ideas:
I think having levels/waves that will break the pace a bit would be nice.
Also, maybe a change in the background like perhaps shifting from dusk to dawn to day, etc. would be nice.
Perhaps add some meteor variations like "Asteroids" type meteors that break into smaller ones you need to blow up again
Basically, try add elements that will make the gameplay a bit more varied
I love the attention to detail - the graphics are fantastic. Too often games have super gameplay and crap graphics - your game is great on all counts!
Those aren't actually bad ideas, pity my hands are tied until Microsoft approves the current (minor) update I'm trying to push forward :-\ Been there for quite a while now, I think it's because of the Christmas break they're taking so long with app approvals.
a new patch has been released which ups the trial demo time from 30 seconds to 2 minutes and adds a new feature where as your cities health is going down the reticules get redder so you don't have to look at the top left of the screen to see your cities health.
looking great!! downloading it!!

I'm using your app, it's pretty nice. I have a couple of suggestions.
First, the panorama on the first screen seems unnecessary, and makes it somewhat difficult to see shirtaday, about, and dailysteal. Maybe a vertical StackPanel inside a ScrollViewer would work better.
Second, when something is clicked, I immediately see the literal words "Item Name" and other placeholders that change once the data is loaded. The change between those placeholders and the real data is a bit jarring. I'd recommend a simple PerformanceProgressBar in the middle of the page until you have all the data, at which point you can safely display it.
These are only suggestions, feel free to ignore them Again, it's a nice app.
First and foremost THANK YOU for the feedback and constructive criticism.
I have had a rough bout getting v1.1 passed through cert, but it does include less jarring transitions, and a progressbar on each deal page for loading. I am also aware of the placeholder names, and that is on the roadmap to get rid of in the fit and polish section of my big OneNote file I have for this app
The Panorama issue was brought to my attention by another trial user. I tested it with both the trial and purchased app and have found it has something to do with the size of the panorama when the app has the ad bar on the bottom. The paid version kills the add and gives you a 3 row view, and it scrolls much nicer. The reason I went this route was for future deals it would be easy and natural to extend the pano indefinitely. That can always change – im not married to it, just like the way it looks.
Hahaha, I know how enticing a panorama control is I used it in the unreleased version of ArkWords with the beta tools. In the end, I went with a pivot, which functioned better. A pivot wouldn't work well in your case, though. Thanks for the quick reply!
My other app, BART Live (http://bit.ly/BARTLive) uses Pivot really well I think. Once there is more content, I belive the Pano will work well creating a wall of deal site icons. If I have to ditch it, I will. It currently housing a WrapPanel with a custom template that I probably should have made into a button template, but I'm a noob
And I am doing my best to reply to feedback as quick as possible. Its intresting to be on this end of the app scene and having so many avanues of contact. Makes having a smartphone super handy.
I currently have a facebook, twitter, email, and now these forums, for both apps.
Ah, good luck juggling all of that! And good luck with your apps
Thanks for the feedback and intrest. keep an eye out for v1.1!

Wow, they kicked my "Am I Drunk" App out that uses Facial Recognition, Voice Recognition, Accelerometer, and other items to help determine if you're drunk but they allowed this?
THAT IS GREAT, ahahaha! Terrific, glad they have a sense of humor.

ouch, did they tell you why they rejected it? Marketplace is full of drinking apps, doesn't seem like yours could be any more "evil". I was rejected too, two times. Have been struggling for almost two months, since I have no direct access to apphub.
