Android apps

[peekawho]

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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