iPhone Applications
Wahoo Fitness provides hardware to make
activity measurements more economical, accurate and effective. Each of
our sensors are leaders in their category for durability and efficacy
and when paired with fisica for use with your existing iPhone or iPod
Touch, the package is unrivaled for value and convenience.
But
how is all this information displayed, stored, graphed, managed,…? We’re
glad you asked. We have partnered with many of the leading fitness App
developers to incorporate the information obtained from our sensors into
your favorite Apps. In fact, if you currently exercise with your iPhone
or iPod Touch, there is a good chance the software you currently use
will support the fisica when it is available in June. As you already
probably know, the iPhone, and all smart phones for that matter, are
wonderful fitness information display devices that cannot be rivaled by
standalone fitness information readers for…
- multifunction capability –
aside from workout information, a smart phone can provide phone access
for emergencies or other needs, music and high quality GPS
functionality… all in one small unit
- processing power – the
computational power of a smart phone is generally many times that of
dedicated fitness information readers
- program navigation – most smart
phones are equipped with easy to use touch screens and intuitive,
well-known navigation methods and, most importantly, large, high
resolution displays
- economy – smart phones are a better value than
dedicated fitness information readers for two reasons: 1) the high
volume and competition and 2) you probably already have one!
- memory
storage capacity – smart phones generally have ample storage for
whatever fitness information you want to keep and can access the
internet for basically unlimited access and functionality
- ease of
internet upload – smart phones make it seamless to transfer your workout
information to the Web
most importantly, you get to choose how to
see and manage your information – there are a wide variety of fitness
Apps and programs available that offer information tailored specifically
to your needs – from the most casual runner to the professional
athlete. In other words, you aren’t tied to the limitations of a
proprietary display device, paired to a proprietary sensor with
information stored on a proprietary Web database
The fitness Apps
available today far exceed anything available on a proprietary platform
and they get better each day as developers add features and new Apps
appear. By decoupling sensors from proprietary display devices, as
fisica does, athletes can measure their performance in a way that is
more suitable to their interests.
As Apps receive approval from
Apple for release with fisica, they will be under the Apps page.
