Product reviews
- Walkmeter App – Steve & Jason – [d]
The KML links for your walk are very cool and are mapped over Google Maps. Each walk can be associated with a route, or not; there’s an ‘All Walks’ bucket that unmatched routes will go into. If you walk the same route multiple times, associating them with a route gives you best and worst times for your walk. You have the ability to start a walk, stop it for a time (going in to buy something, for example) and then start again. The walk doesn’t conclude until you hit ‘Done’ when it’s uploaded and a message sent to Twitter. We both liked this app.
- EatSmart Digital Bathroom Scale w/ Extra Large Backlit 3.5″ Display and Oversize Platform – Steve [d]
Easy to read display, gives you your weight in 10ths of a pound. Wide enough to get both feet on easily. 330lb limit, so I made my sister Amanda play guinea pig.
