[Request] [App] best workout log?

hi guys. i have been searching the market for a good workout log. some are okay but some are bad. i cant find that one good one. i want one that would just let me write down the name of the exercise (not just pick one from a list that probably doesnt have my workout like in other apps), how many reps and the weight and keep it saved. also i want it to be like a calendar type of log to put in the logs of the days that i work out. is there such an app? any links or barcodes to similar apps would be appreciated to try out
Runkeeper ? Not good for you ?
Gym Book is the best one that I've found. It's could be a lot better though.
Pen and paper.
Seriously. There's nothing on android right now that is any good. Bodybuilding.com is working on an app right now but its not out yet.

yea i got the apk from here cuz i used to have it, wiped my phone and when google brought all my apps back, it left out that one. looked in the market but nothing. and then someone else told me their website was down...weird...but yea i got mens health and body fitness as references for different workouts and routines. i have tried work it out and workout coach and they both suck. so far gymbook is the best for logging in workouts but it still lacks the calendar logging feature which i think is important to keep proper track of your workouts. oh well this will do for now

Sorry for digging an old thread but it's what I need.
All the suggestions here whether discontinued or aren't that good.
I just need a simple, calendar type app that allows me to record my exercises. Any ideas?
I tried A LOT of apps on the market, but they're too complicated for my simple requirements.
try JetFit

[APP] Devine "We Fail" Promo

This is a promo app that plays Devine's 1st single, "We Fail" , off their first album titled "14 Steps to Stone"
: : : DEVINE : : :
Devine is an American heavy metal / Hard Rock Band blending elements of Rock, Hard Core, Metal, and Hip-Hop. However, this band is unique for more than just their sound but also in their peculiar arrangement. The band not only remains spread out over the United States but for nearly a year, and after a completed recording no one in the band had ever been in the same room!
for more to the story go to www.devineband.com
watch the music video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ai33ZbWRIs
This is an awesome band I have been doing a lot of work with
This app was created in App Inventor because I have no idea what im doing but it does the job of letting people hear them and getting the word out lol
If anyone has a marketplace account and is willing to post this on the market for free then let me know!
Why would you bother to come on the Internet to post if your gonna hate?... {Edit: good to see the hateful post's deleted}
The basic principle of it is pretty great actually; I'd love to have a couple of my songs (per say) featured in a app that can be deleted, instead of having people download my song's & then have it get lost in their folders. They can delete it if they hate it with ease, or have a link in the app to your iTunes/Music page if they like it.
Everyone...
Just because a project here doesn't include you in the scope of people that it might be relevant to, that's no reason to come bashing those who created it or who are interested in it. If it's not for you, just move along....
oh god i'm embarrassed to have ever heard this

Thanks, all people have to do is not post if they dont like it lol
and thanks for looking
Can I just say that if you don't want feedback or opinions, constructive or otherwise, then a forum really isn't the place to be announcing your app.
I thought this forum was a place devs/users could gain feedback and discuss apps, if you aren't prepared to take the good with the bad then why post?

Because this is for people to offer constructive criticisms about the app, not needlessly hateful comments. Saying "this app sucks because i don't like the music" is not helpful in the slightest. We are supposed to be rating the app, not necessarily the music.
By the way, this is a brilliant idea for an app. I think NYGraFFit1 put it best

I was going to offer to throw it on the market for you, but I'm pretty sure you can't with AppInventor apps (I'm not sure, I'll look into it). I know you at least didn't used to be able to, but things may have changed.

Tablet-Apps Review

Hey guys. I recently reviewed a few tablet specific applications for our tabs. Heres an excerpt from my article. I made a detailed video as well, its at the bottom of this post. If you wanna read the full article, check it out here:
http://www.thegalaxytab.com/2011/03/18/apptab1/
Apps Reviewed:
1) Unofficial BBC News
With all the recent catostrophes occurring around the world, the BBC news team does a great job of keeping me updated. The app is very simple; article snippets appear the left side of the tablet and tapping on it opens the full story on the right. Flash media such as videos and audio recordings are supported an play directly in the app. As I mentioned, the app is simple so don’t expect too much. The only feature missing that I believe should be included is the ability to share a story on twitter or whatever application you want. Hopefully we will see this and additional features added in the near future.
2) GoAruna
The perfect way to explain this app is by asking the question, what would happen if a ES File Explorer & Dropbox decided to have a baby? GoAruna would be the result! GoAruna gives us the best of both worlds. Its a very intuitive file manager with a twist. GoAruna provides you with 2 GB of free online storage and it allows you to upload files from your SD card to the GoAruna servers. Once uploaded, you can send links to your friends so they can download the file and you can access them anywhere using the GoAruna website. One cavet, you need to be online to use the app, period! Even with that little inconvenience, its definitely worth the grab and with the price of FREE, who could resist?
3) Twidroyd
Twidroyd is a twitter application with some pseudo-tablet-like features. The two paneled UI makes it more aesthetically pleasing and actually more efficient Twitter app. Unfortunately with the panels not being re-sizable it just makes makes the experience feel cramped. Nevertheless, for those itching for a tablet-like experience for Twitter, this is as close as it gets.
4) Dual Window Web Browser
Catchy name huh? Joking aside, DWWB (ya that’s right, I acronymed it!) is my favorite application this week. It fulfills my dream of being able to view two websites simultaneously! You can have your email opened on the left side of the screen and be reading an article written by yours truly on the right. Keep in mind that this beta so please do your best to report bugs and issues to the developer rather than leave them a 1-start and a bad review. Even with its current stature, this app is nothing more than just pure, “Winning!”-Charlie Sheen
Video Review:
Alright so I highlighted a few apps here but I go in depth with each on I my very long video. Yes its long, but informative! Check it out after the break:

Sorry, but I've only been speaking English as my primary language for fifty-some years, so can you please explain in simpler terms the meaning of that assessment? Is it good, bad, indifferent, or something else?
Do we want our reviews to be cute, or would it be better to have meaning?

I'm guessing you don't know who Charlie Sheen is. It was meant to add some humor to the post. Nevertheless, the app, in my opinion, has great potential and I enjoy using it. I recommend this to anyone looking to run two websites side by side simultaneously. Hope its clear now.

Thanks. I'm fully aware of who Martin's son is, and the fact that he's all the rage for the press today. But I don't get the reference (don't need to now). Having said that, you probably meant, "nothing less" rather than "nothing more."
I'll check the app out. Sounds interesting, and I'm still looking for a reasonable browser.

[APP-FR][4.0+] O'Ciney

Hey Folks !
Just to let you know that I participated on a new french app with 2 of my dev buddies called O'Ciney
App is for Movies addict (looking for a "now playing movie", some hours or movie theater nearby).
We tried to add a Movie theater mood to the app and work hard on the UX, I know it will not be useful for you guys out there but I only wanted to show you this and maybe get some feedback from the most courageous of you all
You can DL and try the app since it's on the Google Play (and it's free !)
Please give us your feelings about it and let us know how we could improve the app.
​
Have fun folks !
Your friend,
Pooley​
I have seen the post on Frandroid this afternoon and installed it.
It looks really good.
And it works really good too.
So good that i've uninstalled Allociné ^^
That's a very good start for an app, and i wish we will get nice new features in upcoming updates !!
Thanks for your work.
Hey NeBouse
Thanks for your kind words it means a lot for us.
We have to check our todo list and we will update asap the apk on the play store.
Update is coming ^^
Thanks again and do not hesitate to share
As usual with pooley, a really nice app.
All french users should try it !!

Yep we put it here since we also have some French friends out here and also foreign folks with inquiring mind
But don't worry folks we also made a Worldwide application called Whatwhat that can be found here
Thanks a lot for your kind feedbacks hope you'll love it like we do

Unfortunately i am not french, so the app isn't all that useful to me, but i love the design. Gourgeous Visuals and cool mechanics.
If you ask me, IMDB should send you a truck full of money and ask you to build them a decent app.
The UI is really cool but the UX was not all that great. It seems you are using Allocine's API for the source of information so we have odd results at the end.
For instance I have attached suggested pictures from John Travolta's profile... WTF??? Wikipedia would be better lol
Another point is the thumbnail that hasn't been uploaded while visiting Sir Tarantino's profile.

Yep AlloCine's API.
John Travolta was part of the cast on that movie mate lol look at the upper left corner he is ..the lady (is that your point ?)
For Sir Tarantino guess it's due to the API.
Fact is we'd love to turn this app international (like imdb) but we need to plug it to a great web services (API). And it's hard to find a partner.
thanks a lot to both of you guys for your feedback.

Yes I know I mean that I expected some pictures of John Travolta himself and not film posters he did. When I want to have more details about a filmography I go to the related menu.
That's why we need to use another API since we're unfortunately kinda slave of that web service reply.
And we need to know hours of movies if it is 3D or else.
We will have to ask every movie theater that want to be on o'ciney and plug us to their info. Tricky, but not impossible

[App] Hotaday: Share a Good News & Magazines App for Andorid

hi,everyone!
I am a regular newspaper reader,especially India news, beacuse now I am learnning Hindi and I want to know more about India, a mysterious and charming country. Fortunately, I found Hotaday App in the internet, through which I can read kinds of India news.
In my opinion,Hotoday is totally different from traditional media in India. Cause it mannually recommends me a lot of information everyday. You know, most Indian media &enterprises are too lazy to do it. Besides, the interface is so cool! Very bright color!
What I like most is that the administers of Hotoday will reply me after I put forward the questions and evaluations.Last week I had been invited to visit their office due to my activeness in that app. I was so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
I promise to be their loyal user!!
the end I am finding other useful Apps like Hotoday. if you have some ideas, please tell me and we can talk about them( tell me these App's names and advantages!)
Thanks to your help, my Hindi must improve quickly!!!!!:fingers-crossed::highfive::victory:

Oh, I never heard this kind of App in India. If it has Hindi language, I can't wait to try it. Later I wil share my experience with u.
Normally i use News Hunt app for news updates and reading news papers online.
Will give it a try for Hotaday app and let you know.
If you provide play store link for Hotaday, it would be much better for community members here.
