PAD walking app
Read full descriptionHide full description
Peripheral Arterial disease affects many people. Most do not need surgery. This walking app is here to help record changes in walking ability with exercise. Structured exercise has been a recognised way of improving claudication for a long time. This app is designed to help record efforts and give the user an easy to use way of recording efforts. This is measuring both duration of walking and also number of steps. Efforts are not shared and data is held on the users device only.
TreadGame

TreadGame turns the morning treadmill run into something you'll actually look forward to. Cast your phone to a TV or prop it on the console. Pair your treadmill over Bluetooth (or use your Apple Watch as the speed source) and your real running pace drives the runner on screen. A different game for every day. Grid games where you sweep coins, dodge chasers and bank colours. Road games where you race opponents and dial in interval pace zones. Puzzle games where the maze changes every round. The lineup keeps growing β new games drop in app updates. Apple Watch pulls triple duty: β Heart rate. Live BPM streamed to the on-screen HUD throughout every game. β In-game controller. In grid games, the watch shows the direction buttons on your wrist so you can change lanes without ever taking your eyes off the screen. β Treadmill stand-in. No compatible treadmill? The watch's pedometer reads your foot strikes and drives the runner instead. Run anywhere β manual treadmill, on the spot at home, on a track. Workouts are written to Apple Health at the end of every game so the session appears in Fitness alongside your other runs. Personal bests are tracked across every game. Fastest 1 km, fastest 5 km, longest escape, most coins banked in a session β each game records the metrics it cares about. No accounts. No sign-in. No ads. No analytics. Your data stays on your devices and in your own Apple Health store. Nothing is sent to a server we run, because we don't run any. Compatible with FTMS-standard treadmills (most modern fitness brands) and a growing list of treadmills that use non-standard Bluetooth protocols. Apple Watch pairing optional but strongly recommended.
