The road to my first app

Hello,

The first time I had my own PC was aroud the year 2000. I remember the day like it was yesterday. I was coming up the stairs when I heard my mom say “Come quick we have a suprise for you”. Thinking it is a toy or a tv I would have never imagined it is a PC. It was 486 PC with a 15 inch monitor all white, all shiny. I think a tear of joy was sitting in the corner of my eye and I was stunned for a few minutes.

Since then I always wanted to unterstand how it works and how can I alter the code and create my own programs. My imagination was working non stop thinking of what I could build  starting from creating cool things and pushing it near to hacking NASA :))

Trying to control the software I attended a highschool with extra courses on Computer Science and there I found pascal program. With this choice I hit a wall because it was never how I imagined it would be.

Four years later I thought I could create robots to interact with the world but yet again I hit wall. After the four years at the university I realized that my dreams and my ideas will never be understood by any school. So I pursued my other passion which was web development which I still enjoy today. But, on the back of my head,  I was always thinking for something that could offer me the chance to build something from my own ideas and imagination, something where the possibilities are endless. And then I found Apple Developer program.

While proving  myself that I can really create games, Flying Zuzzi emerged.

Moov disappointment

Helo guys,

I have just returned from my run with Moov. It is crap I tell you pure crap. After selecting a program I ran for 2 minutes when it started to say Moov disconnected and then at every 1 / 2 minutes the same. I have started Nike Running up the same time just to keep a record of my distance. But I can tell you the Nike Running up offers the same functionality like this Moov device.

Moov is speaking with you in a awful voice every 1 minute repeating the same text. Swing your arms…and then swing your arms….swing your legs nothing like  in the commercial video.

By the way if you press Getting Started it will open a page in the browser……Seriously is it that hard to add a video in the app and a text to tell you how to use the app. Awful.

OK, now lets be professional about it:

Moov has 4 programs and 46 levels.

  1. Brisk Walk
  2. Running Efficiency
  3. Sprint Intervals (My favorite)
  4. Speed Endurance

What I did today it was Sprint Interval and as a beginner I started with level 1.
