Read full description

Pushup Guide — Your Personal Pushup Progression Plan Pushup Guide is a smart pushup training app for Apple Watch that builds a personalized workout plan based on your strength level. IMPORTANT: This app does NOT count your pushups automatically. You manually track your reps — enter them via Digital Crown in test/AMRAP sets, or simply complete the displayed reps and tap in regular sets. — HOW IT WORKS — 1. INITIAL TEST Start by doing as many pushups as you can. Rotate the Digital Crown to set your rep count, then tap to confirm. The app analyzes your result and assigns you a level (1–20), which determines your training intensity. 2. HOME SCREEN Your current level and training day are displayed at a glance. The app follows a 3-day schedule: • Day I: 5 sets with an AMRAP (As Many Reps As Possible) set • Day II: 9 sets calculated from your Day I performance • Day III: 9 sets calculated from your Day II performance Tap to start your workout. Long press to access reset options. 3. SET SCREEN Each set shows the target rep count and your current progress (e.g., "1 / 5"). Tap the screen to mark the set as complete and move to your rest period. Long press to return to the Home screen. 4. REST SCREEN A countdown timer guides your rest between sets. Tap to pause/resume the timer. Long press to skip rest and proceed directly to the next set. 5. AMRAP SCREEN The "As Many Reps As Possible" set lets you push your limits. Rotate the Digital Crown to enter your rep count, then tap to confirm. This result determines your level for the next week, making the plan progressively harder as you get stronger. Long press to return to the Home screen. — IMPORTANT SETUP — HealthKit Permission: Go to iPhone → Settings → Privacy & Security → Health → Pushup Guide → Enable all categories to allow workout tracking. Always On Display: To keep the workout screen visible during your workout, go to Apple Watch → Settings → Display & Brightness → Always On → Show Apps → Turn on Pushup Guide. The screen will remain visible even when your wrist is down, and the rest timer will count down accurately. — FEATURES — • 20-level progressive system that adapts to your strength • Personalized rep counts calculated from your performance • Automatic rest timer between sets • HealthKit workout recording • Home screen widget showing your current training day • No subscriptions, no ads — DISCLAIMER — This app provides general fitness guidance only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Consult your physician before starting any exercise program, especially if you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or any other medical condition or concerns. Stop exercising immediately if you feel pain, dizziness, or discomfort. Use this app at your own risk.

Build [VERSION: 1.0.11]. No login or account is required to use the app. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS BUILD First launch: tapping "Start Scanning" shows a short animated intro (about 12 seconds, tap to advance, Skip available). "Scan my first meal" or Skip opens the camera. The intro is shown only once. Menu > "How it works" replays the animation followed by a short text guide ("Why HealthLense"). Side menu redesigned. Text sizes and contrast were increased throughout the app to address our earlier Guideline 4 (Design) feedback on legibility. NEW (MAX only): Menu > "Diabetes-Friendly" weekly food review. The user enters age, diabetes type and years since diagnosis, then sees a review of the meals they saved in the last 7 days: carbs by day, top carb foods, iron and other micronutrients, food swaps, meal ideas, and questions to bring to their care team. Non-MAX users see a labeled sample page with an "Unlock with MAX" button. Menu > "AI Coach": non-subscribers see a labeled example of the coaching output with an "Unlock AI Coach" button, which opens the subscription screen. Subscribers go straight to the feature. SUBSCRIPTIONS (auto-renewing, Subscriptions > one group) HealthLense Premium: com.healthlense.pro.monthly, com.healthlense.pro.yearly HealthLense MAX: com.healthlense.max.monthly, com.healthlense.max.yearly (adds micronutrient breakdowns and the diabetes-friendly weekly review; all four are submitted with this version) The subscription screen shows each plan's title, length and price, and has working links to the Terms of Use (EULA) and Privacy Policy. HOW TO TEST Tap "Start Scanning" and view the intro, then scan a plate of food. After a scan, tap "Coach" (Premium) or "Nutrients" / "Unlock MAX" (MAX). Locked features open the subscription screen. Sandbox purchases work for both Premium and MAX. MAX: save a few scanned meals, then open Menu > "Diabetes-Friendly", enter the profile and tap Submit. The review is built from the meals saved in the last 7 days; with only a few days of data it says so. DIABETES-FRIENDLY REVIEW AND GUIDELINE 1.4.1 This is a food-awareness and wellness feature, not a medical device. It does not diagnose, does not measure or predict blood glucose, and does not recommend medication, insulin or glucose targets. For Type 1, gestational diabetes, or users under 18 it shows a prominent "talk to your care team" note. Every result ends with a disclaimer written by the app (not the model). Micronutrient and nutrition figures are typical reference values (for example USDA FoodData Central) and are estimates. The feature is for general information about eating, informed by well-known diabetes and nutrition organizations.
