Applications Please.... 👏

Hi Guys

I’m more Emphysema based COPD, I think.

Anyway I’m after suggestions, recommendations or pointers to any walking based ‘Apps’, iphone based, that can monitor and record data from country strolls, excursion down to the shops and general where have I been and at what pace.

I’ve trued a couple, one just shouted faster faster and tried to sell running shoes, nik what I was looking for, and the other one was just a bit too, pasty.

So to sum up, any suggestions for map based timing apps that are not to pushy for a guy with COPD.

Thanks for your time, I’m looking forward to your replies, Simon 😁

Best one I have come across is the six minute walk test app from play store. Sadly only on android.

A good one for Gps and heart rate for iphone is one called FITIV. It is a trial for a short time ...no ads...and only 9.99/yr when trial is up.

If you can afford one get a fitbit does not have to be the most expensive they start quite cheaply. I have one and its great tells me how many steps I have taken in a day how many hours I have slept or been awake in the night, my heart rate etc. I thought it was well worth the money.

I spent most of yesterday looking at and comparing, mulling over this and that.. oh and for a few quid more it does this and... wow it can monitor how healthy my sleep is, print out a map of my route.... and hold over 3000 songs 🤔😅

Fascinating how technology for all this is stored and actioned from such a small device on the wrist, I bet 50 years ago you could’ve strapped it to the side of a rocket and it would have found the moon 🌑😃

Any way still undecided but I feel as though I’ve had a great mental workout 🤓

I’ll post my decision, hopefully, soon.

Best Wishes

We have a facebook group for people with copd (various stages) & have a Fitbit. I set challenges for us all & we encourage each other to be as active as possible facebook.com/groups/1587237...

iPhone has a built in app. It's a square with a red heart on it and says health underneath.

It includes a step counter and options to monitor Activity, Nutrition, Mindfulness and Sleep. You can also create a medical ID.

Overall not bad for free.
