FormOn
Read full descriptionHide full description
FormOn is not a diet app. Instead of counting what you ate, it tells you what you need to eat for the goal you set. WHAT IT DOES It works out your daily calorie and macro targets from your height, weight, age and how much you move during the day. If Apple Health is connected it reads your steps and the energy you burn, and updates the target as the day goes on. It never blurs the line between an estimate and a measurement, and it tells you which one you are looking at. ADDING A MEAL Point the camera at a nutrition label and it is read on your device. Scan a barcode. Have a photo of your plate analysed. Or search the catalogue. When a value cannot be measured it writes a dash, never a zero, and says why. TRAINING It builds a programme around your goal, the number of days you train, your level and the equipment you have. Every exercise comes with how it is done and the mistake people make most often. During a session you tick off sets, the rest timer runs, and the energy you burn is worked out from your weight and the work you actually did. ALSO IN THE APP Water tracking, weight and trend, a weekly report, the recovery window, recipes, a form score and friendly competition with people you know. YOUR HEALTH DATA Apple Health access is yours to grant, and the app works without it. If you do grant it, only your daily step count leaves your device, and only so friends can be ranked. Your sleep, heart rate and heart rate variability never leave your phone. SUBSCRIPTION Premium is offered monthly and yearly and renews automatically unless cancelled. Photo and recipe packs are one-off purchases. The price and the term are written on the purchase screen. Terms of Use: https://formonapp.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://formonapp.com/privacy FormOn is not a medical device. The targets it calculates come from general formulas. Talk to your doctor about decisions concerning your health.
