Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know there is now a group of fitness training apps which have now been made accessible. These are cyclometer, runmeter, walkmeter and 5k runmeter made by Advio. These apps are really fantastic and were the best I had found for accessibility after trying 12 of them, I still have a folder of non-accessible fitness apps I had to try to find these. Anyway, when I e-mailed the dev he could not have been more helpful and responsive. He was at WWDC at the time but still managed to respond quickly and advised he would take a look which he did when he returned. He made multiple changes to the apps to make them far far more accessible and even posted a new accessibility page to his website. The apps use GPS as well as accelerometer heartrate, caidence and speed sensors to provide feedback on your performance when cycling running and walking where applicable. These stats are then relayed to you through headphones at time or distance intervals or when requested by a slow double press on the remote. The apps even post to facebook, twitter and dailymile so your friends can see how you are doing while you are out walking running or cycling. If they post a message to you it is read allowed by TTS into your headphones for encouragement etc. truly fantastic apps. There is history data too so you can compare against previous performance and even set your old performances as competitors which the app automatically tells you if you are better or worse at set intervals throughout your workout. The apps are provide so much info and analysis its unreal. They are inexpensive too at £2.99 and the cycling app even has profiles for walking and running so you only really need buy one app. The quality of these apps mixed with the devs respnsiveness to accessibility have truly blown me away. I use the app on the back of my tandem with a pair of aftershokz and my phone in a camelback water backpack so all completely non intrusive and get constant updates on how we are doing, how we are doing compaired to last time as well as facebook and twitter messages read allowed automatically. All without touching my phone. Incredible. Check it out.
