Application Moves comes from the developers of ProtoGeo Oy, who have developed a really attractive app for healthy lifestyle and fitness. Even if this app's strength is more about the appearance than the idea, Moves manages to keep you interested. The basis of the application is the pedometer. Yes, this is a pedometer that we already know from old phones, but this one will offer us much more.

When you first turn on Moves, you will most likely, like me, be interested in the two wheels or bubbles next to each other and the nicely color-coordinated design. The larger "green" wheel measures everything related to your walking: the distance you've walked per day in kilometers, the total walking time in minutes and the total number of steps. The smaller "purple" wheel on the right measures the same values ​​as walking, but these are running values. Above these bubbles is the current date. Initially, the current day is displayed, but if you click on it, you will see the total statistics for the whole week. The app saves you every day. You can, however, scroll between the individual days "classically" - by dragging your finger from side to side and compare, for example, days when you had a full program and days such as Sunday, when you most likely only have a single program "to walk from bed to the refrigerator and back". . Moves marks the day of the week on which you achieved the highest values ​​as a record day.

Below the bubbles is a map with submaps of your daily journey. In my opinion, it's great that the whole map is interactive and very well described. You can simply "click" on each section, and you will then see the details on a classic map with a marked route. It is marked in color and is related to the already mentioned bubbles. The purple color, as with the bubble, represents running, green represents walking. The gray and blue colors are unrelated to the bubbles and are extra in the maps. Gray color represents transportation, for example if you went by car, train, bus and so on. All sections in the maps contain total time and real time. Time on the transport leg of your trip will give you additional options for using it. For example, you may find that the drive to work takes less than you thought, and you can catch up on some sleep the next day. The blue color represents cycling. When you don't think a particular section is marked with the right color, or you want to make the route more precise, simply click on it and change the color to a different color. But I know from my experience that the marking is quite accurate.

At the bottom of the application there is a bar that contains three basic buttons. First button Today used to quickly find the current day. This is good if you've been looking at previous days and then want to quickly go back to the current day. The way back could be lengthy and therefore this button is definitely needed. The second button is intended for sharing, for example on Facebook or Twitter. The third button is reserved for settings, where you can set a lot of things, for example, if you want to have the length of the route in meters or in miles.

The application is demanding on battery consumption, thanks to its frequent use of GPS. The developers recommend in the description of the application that you have the device connected to the network overnight. If this solution does not suit you, simply turn off the application in the settings and turn it on when you need it.

The Moves application is compatible with iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S and is also optimized for iPhone 5, then with iPad 1, 2, 3, 4 generation and iPad mini.

To be honest, I have to say that I didn't want to buy the app at first. But I was really impressed by the innovative and beautiful design, which finally convinced me to download Moves. Yes, it's not a "world" idea, but after trying all the features it has, I really started to like this app and enjoyed using it.
