Android apps

Will there be any Med Help android app, or is there one already and since I'm computer challenged I just don't know?  

I'm getting an android phone soon, and just wonder.  I know you guys have an iphone app already.

Are there specific health related applications that you would like to see on an Android?

[Med Help]

You with an Android phone?! Just kidding. Let us know what apps you're interested in. We do have a couple of Android apps on our list of to-do's, but based on what I know about you, they probably won't be your kind of apps. So let us know...

Thanks,
MedHelp

Food diary.
Exercise tracker.

I use another site for tracking food, since I can sync the phone with the website.  I would love an app for this.

Hi there -

It's a work in progress, and we'll certainly let everyone know when they are released.  

Thanks for asking!

Yay!  We Androidians feel very left out.

Is there an andriod app to get medhelp on the phone?  To look up the forums and check them on the phone?

[ILOVEDALS]

I'm brand new & have an android.  Thank you for adding us to the list!  The Migraine tracker,  if possible & I have Addison's, so the BP tracker would be great, also. :)

Exercise tracker on ANDROID!

[AngelWife26]

I would love to see an app that can track medications being taken.  It would be helpful if the app could also determine interactions between the meds and any vitamins/minerals that are being taken.

Another vote for Android apps! Especially the menstrual tracker and pregnancy related apps! Thanks!

I would most like to have a sleep tracker on my android phone; being able to record sleep easily is so useful to me that I'm keeping my old ipod Touch around so I can run Medhelp's iPhone sleep tracker, but that will be cumbersome when I travel.  My sleep doctor is going to love this sleep data.  There are a few android sleep tracker apps but I like that the iphone/ipod app syncs right into your trackers.

I would also love to see an exercise tracker, or integration with one of the exercise trackers that already exists on the android (SportyPal, Cardio Trainer, My Tracks) that records your activity via GPS.  It would be nice if the exercise tracker contained extra or customizable fields for light work/housework, as it is very useful to be able to track even "easy" activities for CFS/fibro, to measure progress; most exercise trackers don't really measure anything lighter than walking so being able to set a custom exercise or two would really help if it doesn't explicitly track lighter activities.

Support for all of the trackers would of course be wonderful, but those are the ones I use the most on the phone.

I'd also like to see trackers (on the iPhone and the Android) sync down your tracker customizations so anything you've configured not to show on the web tracker won't show on the phone tracker; it would make data entry a lot faster if you aren't scrolling through all of the options you've already turned off on the website.

Having this be functional on the mobile version of the website would work almost as well; just right now the mobile website tracker support is very limited and doesn't cover most of the trackers I use. The full site is unusable on a teeny tiny android screen.

Thanks for the feedback, and I'll be sure to pass it on.  :)

Any updates as to when these apps will be available for Android phones?

[ReeReeRee]

Hi, just wondering when apps for Android phones will be available.

[Emily_MHManager]

Hi ReeReeRee -

I'm not sure of a time line.  We hope you know that we realize this is important to many members, and we are working on it, and know that it's obviously not happening as quickly as you'd (and we'd) like.

We apologize for that.

So... i love this service on the chrome browser app, but I stopped using it until i can enter my meals outside of the computer. YOU NEED AN ANDROID APP for food diary ASAP before I get hooked on another program, or stop all together : *(

[Emily_MHManager]

Hi there -

We are working on it, and hope to have it out soon.  In the meantime, you can access all your trackers from your phone by logging onto www.medhelp.org, and going to the full site.

[nuriaz]

you have a great app for Google chrome and most of Google chrome using Android... ;)

you should rush the following app for
Food diary.
Exercise tracker.

do you have an expected releasing time?

[Emily_MHManager]

Hi there -

We are expecting that the My Diet Diary app (includes the food diary, exercise tracker, weight and water) will be released to the Android Market within a couple of weeks, give or take.  

We will certainly make an announcement when it's available.  

Thanks for your interest!
