About

Pushup Tracker Pro

Read full description

Count push-ups without tapping the screen. Put your iPhone on the floor and just train. The proximity sensor counts as you come down — you get a haptic tap after every rep, so you never have to keep track yourself. FREE Log reps by hand, unlimited, with a daily goal and streak. Plus the current week in your statistics — so you can see from day one whether you're sticking with it. WITH PRO • Automatic counting — hands-free via the sensor, or one tap per rep • Eight training plans that react to your actual performance after every session. No rigid schedule that stops fitting after two weeks • Full history across weeks, months and years — personal bests, trends and every gap • Leaderboards through Game Center, worldwide or among friends • Custom goals with a forecast of when you'll reach them at your current pace • 30 badges, from your first hundred reps to a hundred in one set • Seven exercise variations, each with its own personal best • Reminders at your usual time — and when your streak is about to break • Home Screen widget and export to Apple Health LEADERBOARDS YOU CAN TRUST Only reps the app counted itself, with a plausible rhythm, are eligible for the leaderboards. Reps you enter by hand count towards your own statistics but never towards the comparison with others. Otherwise someone types in five thousand and the board is worthless. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS No account, no sign-up, no server. Everything lives on your device and syncs to your others through iCloud. Leaderboards need Game Center — that's optional, and without it you lose nothing but the leaderboard.
