Games that move you. Active Arcade is a fresh take on how to get active while having fun, just by playing a few simple games. It puts you inside the game and uses your natural body movement as the game controller. Interactive elements will make you feel like you're immersed in an entirely new type of arcade game. It's a whole new world of play. __ While we all want to be healthy, fitness today is expensive, rigorous, time-consuming, and intimidating. In short, “fitness” today is just too hard for many. Active Arcade is an entirely different approach. It’s a simple, natural way to get active just by playing fun games that use your body movement. Like the casual sports games that we play on the playground as kids, there is no better way to have fun and get your body moving than by playing and competing in physical games. Active Arcade is built for anyone to get moving with only their mobile device—no expensive equipment, no hardcore routines, no wearables. Even if just for a few minutes a day, moving through Active Arcade is both fun and good for you. Simply use your body to play fun physical games and activities, and get immersed in the gameplay. You won't even know you’re working up a sweat! Don't exercise. Just play. __ A NEW TYPE OF GAMEPLAY Your body is now a video game controller! Active Arcade uses advanced full-body motion tracking powered by AI, combined with gamification and augmented reality (AR) to make the experience fun for everyone. The camera will digitize your movement and power the gameplay in real-time. SIMPLE SETUP, PLAY ANYWHERE Active Arcade requires no special setup, wearables, or extra equipment. Just lean your iPhone or iPad against a stationary object like a chair, water bottle, or wall, and ensure the front-facing camera can see your full body. For an even more immersive living room experience, connect your device to a TV through AirPlay or HDMI connection. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE Active Arcade is simple and accessible so that people of all ages and every ability level can engage. The games are easy to play and don't require advanced athletic skills. There are more casual games like Reaction that focus on hand-eye coordination, and more full-body games like Box Attack that use your athleticism. A wide variety of games are available for every player, with new games added regularly. FUN WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY Like real sports activities, Active Arcade games are about playing and moving with friends and family members. But unlike many connected fitness solutions, Active Arcade makes engaging with friends and family a quick and simple activity that can happen anytime, anyplace. 2-Player game modes get you and your friends playing side-by-side. CAPTURE AND SHARE YOUR BEST MOVES Like a built-in photo booth, you’ll get instant highlights from your time in Active Arcade that shows off your best moves and are fun to post on social media—complete with all the interactive elements included. Post your highlights on social media and challenge your friends to get active too! ENTIRELY FREE TO PLAY Active Arcade is free to play and contains no advertising, in-app purchases, or subscription model. It's an entirely free resource for the community and for everyone anywhere to play and engage. Share it with all your friends, family members, or anyone. Got any questions or feedback? Please shoot us an email at ios-support@activearcade.ai. We'd love to hear from you.

A professional and indispensable toolset for modern day physical therapists. The app helps you: - Increase efficiency, - Simplify everyday tasks, - Perform a variety of assessments, - Impress and attract more patients, - Explain diagnosis to patients, - Build patients' confidence and trust. Easy to use and provides valuable information to both, practitioners and patients. The app includes: - Posture analysis - Functional Movement Screen (FMS) analysis - Simple and precise Range of Motion (ROM) measurement - Angles and ROM measurements on images - Motion analysis (angles, velocities, accelerations) - 10 meter walk test (or any other distance) - 6 minute walk test (or any other duration) POSTURE ANALYSIS Fast, easy and intuitive. Find imbalances and asymmetries. Analyze whole body posterior, anterior and lateral postures, or examine in greater detail specific points of interest - analyze head and neck in front and lateral views, analyze condition of patients with facial paralysis or look for trunk asymmetries indicating a scoliosis. RANGE OF MOTION State of the art goniometer for smart devices. Leave cumbersome goniometers in a drawer and use your device to measure ROMs. Unlike traditional goniometers and other apps, there is no need for perfect alignment - just place the device in a most convenient way you can, let a patient make a movement, read the results and compare them to reference values. MEASURE ANGLES ON IMAGES Take a picture of a patient or select an image from gallery, and measure ROM or any other angles directly on the image. Show the measurements to the patient to allow him to comprehend his condition better by inspecting visual evidence. FMS ANALYZER Some movement compensations can be missed even by an experienced therapist. Also, it is not always easy to explain to a patient the magnitude of spotted problems. Our FMS analyzer can provide you with objective measures of the correctness of the performed movement and any imbalances you might have spotted or even missed. Visualized results are appreciated by both, therapists and patients. 6 MINUTE WALK TEST Enter a walkway length, tap 'Start', place the device in a patient's front pocket and come back in 6 minutes (or any other duration you set) for results. The app will calculate the walked distance, inform the patient when the time is out and allow you to enter parameters, such as blood pressure, BORG index, etc. 10 METER WALK TEST Perform 10m walk test, or set the distance to any other arbitrary length. Perform multiple trials (if needed) of normal-comfortable speed and maximum speed walks. The app will calculate velocities for each trial as well as average of all trials and generate a report. MOTION ANALYSIS Use the device as a sensor to capture and analyze motions of interest - arm swings, trunk movements, weight lifting, squatting, ... The movement is charted in terms of angles, angular velocities and accelerations and linear velocities and accelerations. Use it in therapy, use it when working with sportsman, use it wherever you find it useful! Help us get even better! Your opinion is very important to us so, please, feel to tell us what you think, what you like and what you don't like and what features you would like to see in the app: support@trinuslab.com Fantastic app, but is it free? Huge resources were needed (and still are) to develop and support such an app so, unfortunately, we cannot give it for free. However, even for the smallest of therapist's practices the cost is negligible and benefits are countless. Your small support will enable us to continually improve the app!

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Active Arcade holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Active Arcade has 1.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Active Arcade's written reviews are positive against 80% of PhysioMaster's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Active Arcade ships an update every 9 days, PhysioMaster every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
