This week I’m going to eat healthier. I have to give up on junk food and start eating more vegetables. You probably tell these things to yourself every week. And somehow, you end up eating the same things day after day. Because looking through tons of sites to find the right recipe, preparing it and creating a menu for the week to come is just too much of a time waster. But what if there was an app who could make planning your weekly meals easier? This is MealGuru and you can find it in the AppStore.

Ok, perhaps that is a harsh title, but I was so excited to get my hands on a 4.5 rated app for the iPad that promised that it was all I needed to make my weight loss resolution happen that only the disappointment that followed after using the app could match it. But after just a few minutes spent with FitnessPlanner, the All-Inclusive Weight Loss Management System for iPad, I started to get the feeling that I might lose weight just by reading through the app’s documentation.

It’s an app for the iPad that will empower you to lose weight and stay healthy by helping you understand your dietary needs and physical exercise requirements and based on your current age, weight, height and BMI (Body Mass Index) plus your goal weight.

The equation is fairly simple. The app promises to help you [...]

Popular Baby Names by Aesop. Find that perfect baby name and want to reference popular names from a wide variety of years and countries, then this app is likely one for you.

As with all AESOP apps, the app is fairly self explanatory, although sometimes you wonder if you might miss features if you didn’t accidentally tap on something or scroll down as far as you did. My advice, check out the app in full!

With safety and health being the words of the day, knowing how to apply the right kind of first aid is an universal concern. Amongst the numerous books, booklets, websites, blogs and training videos that provide you with adequate knowledge of what and how to do in case of a medical emergency, there is one iPhone app that everyone should have. iMobile Care is the essential iPhone companion, since books and guides won’t cut it when faced with an actual emergency situation that calls for action rather than research.

On the surface, iMobile Care is just another first aid training manual. It provides you with illustrated First Aid Guides, complete with instructions, so you’re always prepared for the actual situation. On the other hand, the neat features of iMobile Care rely more on each of the user’s [...]

And, depending on your weight loss goals, Lose It! will calculate daily calorie requirements and suggest exercises to keep you fit and on schedule.
