  • Breeze is available here on the App Store for free    :
    superb creation by Runkeeper. The app has the great merit of setting
    achievable daily goals, it sends notifications to
    the user to keep him motivated. Of course, she also knows how to congratulate him
    when achieving the set objectives. One of the best thought out and
    superb, with only one drawback, in English only.
  • Argus:
    a very complete app which aims to measure many everyday things, to
    memorize and thus know over time how these variables evolve.
    L’applicationcount the stepsprecisely thanks to

    values ​​are to be incremented by a small amount like the quantity of water drunk,
    coffee or food consumed (photo taken). Also included are the
    tracking weight, or heart rate via an app from the same publisher. Of the
    alerts if one is below the steps to take or the water to drink are

    very complete and free functions, with one drawback, it is not
    translated into French –Available

  • MotionX-24/7    : this very complete app created by a
    publisher present for a very long time on the App Store mainly allows two
    types of measures. First of all, it is the quality and quantity of
    daily sleepwhich is followed, for this it is necessary to place
    the iPhone in a corner of the bed and it records movements, thus allowing
    waking up in the best possible phase in the morning but also monitoring
    over time. Second type of measurement and analysis,activity
    daily with the number of steps    . Add to this many
    dedicated parameters and screens and you have a very complete app which
    heard can only gain in terms of autonomy by not depending on the processor
    main device of the iPhone, but with a less power-hungry coprocessor. There
    still all in English –

    free    this app aims to measure and keep a log of activity
    physical performed daily. Here again, English remains king.

    the app offers both the weather and a data logger which, between
    other things, will measure the number of steps taken each day. In his
    last update, the app allows you to use the M7 processor to recover
    this number of daily steps. Once again, everything is in English –1,79

    in the background. Able to detect your every movement, it can also
    define whether it is running, cycling, walking, etc. The objective is
    obviously to help the user to motivate themselves to move and I must admit
    that it works pretty well. In its latest version entirely
    redesigned for iOS 7, the app offers the luxury of using the M7 processor. See

    daily    . It runs in the background once a day, all
    alone, to recover the data. Simple but practical to discover the
    coprocessor possibilities


  • Pedometer ++    : a very simple pedometer, no graph or
    other, just the number of steps of the day and that of the last 7 days but one
    interesting subtlety:displaying the day's step count
    badge on the application icon    . Original and practical.
