Suggestion for Exercise Motion Tracking App?

I have my favorite calorie (food) tracker (MyPlate) hooked into the new Health app.  I gather that the iOS 8 Health app, doesn't in itself monitor motion, attempt to interpret it as, say walking, climbing, rowing, rowing machine, etc.  I gather that it serves as a gathering point for health-related information, and, like calorie-intake, you need a separate App for interpreting motion and estimating calories burned.  I gather that the Apple Watch will help with that, but until that comes out...
Anybody have any favorite-app suggestions for interpreting motion and estimating calories burned?
The Nike+ app seems to be primarily about running, and presumably walking.  I'm guessing it won't be able to help with stationary exercisers.

Interesting stuff:
Active Calories (in the Health app) says "No Data."
When I tap the Active-Calories would-be graph:
Show All Data:  No Data
Share Data:  With "My Plate" app.
Dietary Calories (calories eaten) clearly are getting forwarded from the "MyPlate" app.
In the "MyPlate" app:
"Track my activity" is turned on.
Under exercise performed today, "iPhone Daily Steps," meaning that that app is clearly seeing my day-to-day activity, either by reading the accelerometers itself, or by getting it from Health, probably reading it itself.
When I enter the weight-lifting I did this morning into "MyPlate," the Health app doesn't see it, even though MyPlate is listed as a source of info for the Health app.  Ah, but I see that the Health app doesn't appear to have a switch to input exercise information (Carbohydrates, Dietary Calories, Dietary Cholesterol, Fiber, Protein, etc., but no switch for exercise performed.
Turning off "Track my activity" in the MyPlate app, on the Theory (guess anyway) that it's gobbling up the accelerometer data, and thus preventing the Health app from grabbing that information:  I did so and then took a quick walk around the building, and so far, still nothing shows up in the Health app.  I'll keep it off for a while, and see if anything accumulates in the Health app, but it looks like the MyPlate app is seeing my activity.

  • Suggestion for a needed Walkman app improvement

    Dear Sirs,
    Although I’ll sadly have to part from my Sony Z1 (for other issues reported on this forum and to Sony Xperia Care, namely the touchscreen issue), I would still like to leave a suggestion for the most underachieving app (imho) from a Sony Smartphone.
    With the long tradition on audio excellence and the Walkman brand, I would suspect that it would be a strong point on a Sony Smartphone. Strangely enough, the Walkman app made me buy a third party app (PowerAmp) to get some basic functionality like I had on my old iPhone 3GS.
    One of the most serious faults of the Walkman app is the lack of volume normalization between audio tracks. Although Sony does provide a workaround (which is nothing more than a dynamic range compressor), it doesn’t make any sense (imho) with today’s technology.
    Replaygain (for instance) is a free (but very effective) way of normalizing volumes without degrading the sound quality. Many apps like PowerAmp have it, and even iTunes has a proprietary version of it built in on every device for many years now.
    As I said before, this can be done with third-party apps and third-party media management software (like JRiver or the free Foobar), but by doing so, the user loses the integration provided by a unique manufacturer (Sony Media Go -> Sony Walkman).
    I’m really just trying to help, as it gets harder to understand why Sony lacks on such elementary things audio-wise, when the same company has Walkmans supporting the highest definition audio formats available today.
    I tend to relate Sony with high quality digital audio products, so it seems strange that this particular app is so rudimentary on these levels. The Walkman app is eye-candy, but it should also be “hear-candy”, which it isn’t.

    You need to pass this on to the Sony delvelopers site as this is a user support forum

  • Subtracting USB aquired images for basic motion tracking

    I would like to implement very basic motion tracking with a USB camera. I have already got the usb camera showing in labview (using a modified version of the USB example). What I would like to do is take the current frame in the buffer, subtract it from the previous frame in the buffer, increase contrast, and find all nonzero pixel values. These values would be the locations where change has occured. I've been using labview for only a week, so this may be a simple task, I just can't figure out how to grab the last frame in the buffer. I think I know how to grab the current frame. Anyways, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Suggestion for a much needed app

    I am a volunteer firefighter. I am dispatched to calls via a Motorola Monitor voice pager. Since approximately 84% of firefighters in the U.S. are volunteers, and the vast majority of them use the same system that my department does, an app that would work just like my pager would be REALLY handy. Not to mention it would be cost effective to my department. I believe that there would be a large demand for an app like this.
    Message was edited by: C Bouquet

    Contact the manufacturers of the company/organisation that sends out the call despatch alerts and suggest it to them.
    Or, find a developer on the AppStore that does something similar and suggest it to them.

  • Suggestion for Music iOS 7 App? Make it look similar to Remote App while playing music :D (Transparency)

    Hello!
    I'd like to suggest the feature of transparency in the Remote iOS 7 app to be done natively in the iOS 7 Music app.
    I think it'd look fantastic with the colored glass effect for every cover art!

  • Need Suggestions For GOOD Free Ringtone App

    Before the software update, I used Mabilo without any problems. Now, it doesn't work. So I'm searching for an app that is just as good, if not better than Mabilo. Any suggestions??

    As previous post mentioned ZEDGE is a good free app for tones in addition to wallpapers. However the best solution might just be to put your own music on the phone through Windows Media Player (or whatever you use) and use RINGDROID to make your own
    Good Luck

  • Suggestions for good sketch/illustrator app

    I'm currently looking for a lightweight app (don't mind paying for it) that is good at creating simple illustrations. The illustrations are simple shapes with dimensions, line diagrams, and basic flow charts. Before I switched to my MBP, I used AutoCAD to create these items and export them to a JPG. That's a little overkill for some of the things I want to do at home. I've tried using AutoCAD with Parallels, but the images end up being too faded out due to the size reduction to fit onto a page. Any suggestions or leads will be appreciated. Thanks.

    I would recommend OmniGraffle in the strongest possible terms. Five stars and then some.
    http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/
    It's utility is limited to exactly the kind of stuff you mentioned in your post, though, so it's by no means a general Adobe Illustrator replacement -- more of a Microsoft Visio replacement. If you instead want fewer diagramming features and more general illustration features (with a much more basic interface), you might try EazyDraw:

  • New to Apple.  Any suggestions for a contact mgmt. app for Mac similar to ACT?

    I am totally new on Apple products.  Can anyone suggest if there is a comparable product such as ACT or Goldmine for Customer Contact Management purpose?  I am excited about the simplicity of "Contacts" on Mac compared to ACT or some of the more complex programs where we never use all those fancy features.  I am not fully aware of Apple's "Contacts" program capabilities yet. 
    I run a small business and need some basic features such as being able to sort contacts based on City, type of client, or any other fields, so I can create reports and use the list for marketing purposes, etc.
    I will greatly appreciate if anyone has suggestions on the following two items:
    How to migrate my ACT contacts easity into either iCloud or on my new Mac?
    Any tutorials that I can look at how small businesses are using the Mac contacts database?
    Thank you so much for your help!

    Daylite from Marketcircle is probaby the best bet: It's a full-fledged CRM solution.  It will work for a single person, though it's most targeted at small workgroups (5-50 people).

  • Looking for SIMPLE time tracking app

    Hi all
    I'm looking for a really simple 'retrospective' time sheet app - wondering if anyone knows one?
    I've seen literally hundreds, but they all want you to 'click to start the clock' and then click to end it. This doesn't work for me, as I spend only about 25% of my time in front of the computer.
    What I'm looking for is something that I can put all my client contacts in, then separately link projects to those clients. Then at the end of each day I can quickly recall what I did during the day and assign time to each project.
    Most apps want you to assign time to each project as you go through the day, so its relatively painless to switch projects. However when you do it all at the end of the day, you don't want to keep entering the date, you just want to enter the start/end time, and what project it was. More like a journal entry I guess.
    Then at the end of the month it would print a report that groups the hours worked on each project so that you can review them and create an invoice (or in my case send to my accounts clerk who makes the invoice for me).
    Any ideas from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi shannonbray, welcome to the AppleWorks forum, which is intended for discussions of Apple's now-legacied productivity suite called AppleWorks.
    One could develop such a template using the spreadsheet or database modules of AW separately or in combo,but it doesn't sound as if that's your aim. I'm sure clever types have done such things, and perhaps shared them to the AWUserGroups and such, and I hope they note your post and reply. There are certainly numerous clever folks who follow this forum, and they may have pointers to other apps for you, but essentially I think you've posed the wrong question in the wrong place.

  • Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images?

    Motion tracking is not working for videos but works for images. When the videos is drop onto the tracking object the videos corner don't appear highlighted. I am working on windows 7 with version 13.1.

    ivanhoeeurope
    Are you within 30 days of purchase for the Premiere Elements 13? And, did you purchase as a download from Adobe? If so, you can
    apply for a return/refund for 13. If you purchased elsewhere, then you would be governed by the return/refund policy of the seller.
    Adobe no longer sells version 12, so you would have to find a vendor who still has it in stock and purchase it. There is no way to "downgrade"
    13 to 12.
    What you may want to do is to download and install the Premiere Elements 12 tryout from the following web site to verify that 12 Motion
    Tracking works for you; whereas 13 cannot with regard to use of video for the Motion Tracking source media.
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    Apparently this web site does not sell the tryout. It just makes it available for use.
    Before I posted my reply to you I looked at Motion Tracking with video source media on both Premiere Elements 12/12.1 and 13/13.1 on the same Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    If any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • Can't Export ALL Comments from Issues Tracking app in Sharepoint 2013

    I really like the flexability of the SharePoint 2013 Issues Tracking application. I am able to enter the initial issue, then update it regularly with "comments". Each comment is added as a seperate entry to the issue, date stamped, etc.
    The issue I am having is in exporting this to Excel. I know, I know, the purpose of SharePoint is that you DON'T turn everything into an Excel spreadsheet.  However, I have to send the issues to an external contact that does not have access to the SharePoint
    environment.  When I export to Excel, it only adds the LAST comment to the Comments column in the spreadsheet. I need all comments combined, and dropped into the correct cell.
    Is there a way to do this? I found another thread where it seemed everyone accepted the fact that this was not possible, but I thought I'd try one more time and see if there were any new ideas.
    I believe this is tied to the option of "Append Changes to Existing Text" that is available in the Edit Column settings for the Issues Tracking app. I see that you can turn this off, but then you lose the ability to date-stamp each entry. If there
    is no good solution, then I think the only alternative would be to turn this off, then just manually add a date to each time. 
    Word of caution!!  If you have a bunch of comments already appended, and THEN you decide to change the option from Append Yes to Append No, it will hide all previous comments. I did this and thought I'd lost them, but when I changed the option back
    to Append Changes, they were all still there.  I may need to manually cut-paste every single comment out, change to Append No, and then manually past the entire comment thread back in.  Will be very tedious for a large issues log.
    Thank you.
    Bill

    Update - The only solution I was able to change to "Append Changes to Existing Text", then do as I dreaded, which was to manually cut and past every comment out then back into the single field.  Definitely a good lessons-learned to set the
    value to "Append Changes to Existing Text" before starting.

    I downloaded two movies from itunes at the same time (both free digital copies from a dvd) and when they finished downloading... they disappeared. I've not been able to re-download them or find them.. anywhere. Any suggestions for tracking them down?

    If you downloaded them on your computer's iTunes then they should have gone into the Movies part of your iTunes library, if on a device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then into the Videos app - they haven't appeared there ?
    If you downloaded on your PC and they don't show in the Movies section then you could try searching for them by name (or part of their name) via windows explorer and see if that finds them. Or if you downloaded them on a device and they aren't in the Videos app then have you got a film age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them, and if not can you find them via the device's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I checked the link that I posted back in post 3 of your thread. It is working with at least Firefox and Chrome.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Motion Tracking/What To Use To Track Object?
    What browser are you using?
    The blog post contains significant information related to Premiere Elements 12 Motion Tracking. But, if you cannot access it for some reason, then we will need to troubleshoot via communications in the thread.
    SG has asked if you are able to create Motion Tracking effect using one of the graphics included with the program. We will watch for your response to him on that question. Please include in your message to him whether you can obtain your file to track the object using Organizer Tab or Project Assets routes as well as Graphics Tab.
    The following is an excerpt from the blog post referenced....
    SOLUTION
    Various tutorials and online comments have pointed to places other than Graphics Tab where objects can be selected and used to track the moving object in the video when the Motion Tracking workspace is opened in the Expert or Quick workspace.
    Organizer Tab, Expert or Quick workspace to access Elements Organizer 12. Cascade Windows and drag a video or photo from Elements Organizer into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
    Project Assets, Expert workspace. Drag text, video, or photos from opened Project Assets into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
    Graphics Tab, Expert or Quick workspace. Create a png file (graphic) or prtl file (text) and place it in Clip Arts in the Program Files of the program to have a permanent resource. Then from Graphics Tab, drag the newly created graphic or text object into yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
    Thanks.
