I created a nutrition app to track vitamins and minerals instead of the usual calories and protein/carbs/fat that most current nutrition apps focus on. My thinking was that little people actually "forget" to eat enough calories or such, but lacking a certain mineral/vitamin is a real health concern, especially for people with less varied diets. People can go weeks without some nutrient and not even realize the symptoms when they start appearing, usually finding out through some unconventional way like going to donate blood and having them tell you you're low on iron. This app isn't meant to track exact amounts, but rather estimates your general intake of these nutrients -- as such, you only input the healthy parts of your meal.
Definitely feel free to ask any questions or leave feedback in the comments, thanks!
I guess I can't post links yet, but the app is called "NutriHawk" and it'd be pretty awesome if you could give it a quick search on the Play Store and check it out!

I'm looking for a simple application that can track things like your medications (with system reminders to take your pills) and personal stats. I'd need to record, and possibly graph, blood pressure and heart rate, weight, and other things that need to be tracked.
My doctor has asked me to keep a record of my daily blood pressure and weight. I built an Excel mobile spread sheet record, but it just doesn't cut it.
I'm also taking several medicines at different times of the day. It's hard to remember when to take them. It would be nice if my phone would go off when it's time to take another pill. I'd use my Calender, but that just clogs it up and interferes with my appointments.
I would build an application for myself, but it's been a really long time since I've programmed, and I don't know where to start.
I recently injured my knee and wanted some exercises to help with my rehab so I thought I’d give the Physioadvisor exercises app a go. What a fantastic app. Exercises are broken down into easy to follow categories such as – balance, flexibility, foam roller, massage ball, pilates, popular programs, resistance band, strengthening and swiss ball. Flexibility and strengthening categories are further organized by joint or muscle. This makes it easy to find exercises for a given joint or muscle.
The exercise photos and descriptions are very clear and easy to follow and provide great descriptions to ensure correct technique (which was great for me as I often perform exercises incorrectly). Individual exercises can be added to ‘My Program’ to create your own personalized exercise program. This feature was invaluable in the rehab of my knee as I was able to create my own rehab program. This in combination with info from their website www.PhysioAdvisor.com has got my knee to feeling almost 100% with self management alone!
There is also an exercise reminder which was great to ensure I did not forget to do my exercises.
Needless to say, I’m a big Physioadvisor fan and would strongly recommend the Physioadvisor exercises app for anyone who wants an interactive at-home exercise guide to help with their rehabilitation, physiotherapy treatment or general fitness and flexibility. With the reminder and bookmarking features, the app is well worth $3 for people who are motivated to regain physical function.
Below are links to this app in itunes for iphones, google play for android phones and the physioadvisor website. Happy Rehab to all!

Tracking various personal things is the rage these days. You can track your physical activity, sleep, money, eating and dating partner eligibility.
But what about your 'Moral fitness'? Are you doing good or bad things every day?
I am working on a new app 'Moral' that will let you track your good and bad actions and then get you a score (similar to your credit score). All information will be private and stored only on the phone with a password protection. Just like anything else, tracking is the first step towards understanding trends and then improving yourself in areas that are weak.
I think the Smartwatch is an awesome device to do this - just a quick tap of the buttons to record a good or bad action and off you go. Analyze at will later on in the phone app or eventually the website.

I'm a brand new Android developer, who has just completed his first app. Yes, I am proud ;D
I did a fair amount of comparative research and tried to offer quite a bit more information to my users than your average BMI app does. I also think the app looks pretty visually appealing.
Please search for "WJ Developers" on the App Store, and select the BMI & CALORIE CALCULATOR app, with pink & white logo.
Apart from giving you a BMI reading, it tells you quite a lot in terms of where you are currently with your body weight, where you should be, how many calories you need to eat per day and so forth. It also takes into account what your goals are (i.e. maintain, gain or lose weight) and takes into account how active you are daily. The app is reasonably accurate and I'm hoping it helps a ton of people with educating themselves and ultimately helping them to reach their weight/health goals.
I'd love some input from your guys. Constructive criticism is always good, so I'd really appreciate an honest review/rating after trying the app. If you think it's worthy of a +1, then I'd appreciate that too.
Thank you kindly in advance!
How hard would an android app be that:
Stored a goal intake value entered by the users based on what the doctor says
Keep a daily log of fluid intake
Keep a daily log of inputted weights
Keep a log of ammount of flud removed and time on dialysis
Display the logs in a easy to read format
Extra feature that would just make it completely awesome, a graph that showed the trends for the last week, month and 3 months
I'd think the app would be pretty easy but I might be very wrong and I'm not sure how big of audience besides me it would have, I'd think people on dialysis that heard about it might give it a shot because currently the best suggestion the clinic has for fluid tracking is a piece of paper with cups on it, which isn't very effective. There are lots of apps that track fluids but they are aimed at a different section of the population as all the ones I've tried figure your intake goal based on your weight which is wrong for dialysis patients, and they also try to get you to drink more which is also bad for people like me. While I'm very handy at some things with my computer, doing coding beyond light powershell scripts is beyond my skill level by quite a bit. I'd really thankful you've read this far and if you know of an app like I'm describing, please let me know or if it sounds like a project you could do for a population of people that could some help making our lives a little easier.
The only formulas I would think would be needed for a wide range of people would be:
Pounds to Kilograms (Pounds / 2.2046 = Kilograms)
Kilograms to Pounds (Kilograms * 2.2046=Pounds)
oz to liters (oz / 33.814 = Liters)
oz to ml(oz / .033814 = ml)
