Version 1.1.0 (06/23/10):
- Pedometer Plus+ is now a 4-in-1 app after this addition of new fitness calculator.
- After entering your age, height, weight, body frame and activity level, the calculator shows your Body Mass Index (BMI), Resting Metabolic Rates (RMR) and finally the ideal weight. Please note that this calculator do not consider many body forms so the results are not accurate.
Version 1.0.0 (06/09/10):
- Pedometer Plus+ (formerly called as Pedometer) is a 3-in-1 app after this update with GPS integration. You can track your activity like walking, jogging, running or cycling or even driving in addition to the tracking your walking by foot step.
- The screen can be turned off and the app can be minimized ONLY while using GPS for tracking.
- Minor UI changes
- Please note the following:
Default activity is set to Walking in GPS tracking scene. It can be changed under preferences. Also the activity can be changed anytime by tapping on the activity icon in the main screen or from the menu.
The accuracy of the data is based on the GPS signal. Make sure the signal strength is either Good or Very Good. The signal fades near tall buildings or under densely covered trees.
Verizon users: It will take more time to acquire the GPS connection.
Activity data from both tracking methods for all activities are stored together in history. (NOTE: Data from the driving activity is not stored as this is not really an activity)
Version 0.6.0 (05/13/10):
- Sometimes it happens that we thought we tapped on the Start button or tapped at the right spot but did not so we might have missed tracking steps. So a new functionality to add this step count or distance manually is included in this updated version.
- 'Delay' setting in the Preference page is renamed to 'Start After' for easier understanding.
- fixed a minor defect.
Version 0.5.2 (04/21/2010):
-This update fixes a minor defect. While installing the app for the first time, the default settings were not loading. NOTE: Users who are updating this app will not see any difference.
Version 0.5.1 (04/06/2010):
-This update fixes a minor defect i.e., after tapping on the Paused screen the main screen did not appear in the previous version.
-The localized content for German is done correctly. Thanks to Lars Hendrichs for his help in translating the content to German.
Version 0.5.0 (04/01/2010):
-The app is mainly updated to accommodate other countries as Palm App Catalog is open to many other countries as of I write this. So the app is translated to localized language of each country.
-The preference page is redesigned.
-Weight can be set in lb or kg.
-Fast Accelerometer setting is renamed to High Sensitivity for easier understanding.
Version 0.4.0 (02/08/2010):
Two new settings are added in this: History and Fast Accelerometer.
-- On enabling history under Preferences, walk data will be stored every time the user taps on the Clear button. Data will be stored only when the step count is greater than 0. Please note that all walk data in a given day will be accumulated together. Walk history can be found in the history page. It is shown by month. You can also delete any history item by swiping the list item to your right.
-- On enabling fast accelerometer the newer version of the algorithm will be used for step counting. This new version is more accurate. If not enabled, the older version will be used for step counting. Please note that the older version is 5-10% off. This setting is added because some users requested me to provide the older version because for some reason the new version did not work for them. (Please do not twist your hand any more to make a step count)
Version 0.2.3 (01/27/2010):
This version stops/pauses the app whenever the app is minimized to card view or when the screen is turned off by the user. The timer and the step counter will stop working.
Version 0.2.2 (01/18/2010):
This updated version uses the fast accelerometer (available in webOS 1.3.5 and above) for counting the steps. Now the step count is pretty close to accurate (+/-3%).
