Hand in hand with wearables, sports applications have experienced a significant boom in a short time. Now, it is possible to make complete training plans through these supports and our tablets and smartphones and, with it, millions of people around the world carry the gym strapped to their wrists or stored in their pockets.
Despite the fact that in this field, we still do not find a large number of tools compared to those in other areas such as travel, educational or social networks, the truth is that there are also some examples of how the habits and health of many people change hand in hand with the terminals they use on a daily basis. Today we will talk about Under Armor Record, which claims to be the big star in its category. Will it succeed?
Operation
Like others of the same theme, this app has several features such as a record of the daily workouts in which the number of steps, heart rate, distance traveled is measured or, in the case of other disciplines such as yoga or gym exercises, it also allows all positions or tables performed to be saved in a database. On the other hand, one of the functions that its developers value the most is the fact that it allows you to control the sleep cycles.
Red social
To further improve the user experience, Under Armor Record incorporates elements of this type of platform, such as the possibility of capturing our routines and sharing them with our friends in both photographic and video formats. Besides power monitor progress daily, at first glance, you can also set weekly and monthly goals whose results are displayed through graphs. Through the synchronization, is compatible with other devices that contain Google Fit.
Free?
Under Armor Record does not have no initial cost, which has served to achieve in a short time more than 5 million users. At first, it does not require integrated purchases. If we add to this the fact that with the new updates, it is available in several languages, including Spanish, they have been some of the best valued points. However, it has also received criticism in other aspects such as unexpected closures after completing the registrations or an interface that is not entirely simple and intuitive.
