How much does technology impact upon your life?
Technology takes over most of our lives, we spend time listening to music on portable devices, accessing the internet on the go and now we even read books from them.
Fitness apps have been slowly and steadily increasing in interest and it's not hard to see why when there is such a wide variety of them to choose from.
Facebook recently announced new timeline apps from various companies at SXSW, amongst the announcements were two new fitness apps.
The Nike FuelBand iPhone app allows users to find friends and see a leader board of how much Fuel they've earned versus their friends. This means that friends will be able to cheer each other on and motivate each other with a little healthy competition!
Similarly, the Endomondo app allows users to share their workouts, progress and favourite routes with friends on Facebook so that even if you can’t train together you can benefit from a training partner.
In the past two months, nearly 3,000 timeline apps have launched. These startups are seeing increased engagement and growth:
• Pinterest grew its daily active Facebook user base by 60%.
• Goodreads increased daily traffic by 77%.
• Pose saw 5X growth in signups on its website and mobile app.
Will you be using an app on your workout today? If so, which one?
