Calories Counter 1.1.0.0
As they are concerned with their weight and seek for methods of staying fit and healthy, monitoring the daily intake of calories should be accompanied by the observation of those burned while performing physical exercises or other activities.
Windows Phone users have at their disposal a few applications that are especially tailored for such purposes and one of them, suggestively called Calories Counter might prove to be a viable alternative.
Decent appearance and organization of the layout
The simple yet attractive interface of this app comes with a nicely designed set of graphics, especially for the background, while the functional buttons seem to be less favored from this perspective.
Moving around from one section of the app to another and browsing the long lists has a smooth feel to it and it lacks any kind lags of other flaws of this sort. The commands are neatly placed for easy access, while the content is presented in a clear manner.
A constant annoyance is represented by the presence of an ad banner that sits in the upper side of the screen, no matter the section of the app you are currently visiting.
Browse the categories and pick your favorite activities
Calories Counter offers a relatively varied choice in terms of activities, so you can go through its 10 dedicated categories to find the ones you want to add to the list.
Sports like cycling, swimming, aerobics dancing are accompanied by physical activities like walking as well as various climbing and work hobbies.
In case you tend to carry out some of these activities more often, you can add each of them inside the "Favorites" category so as to have them close at hand and insert them in the list of completed exercises more easily.
Add daily activities to view burned calories and spent time
When you create a new entry, you will have to specify first the actual activity and then the time you spent doing it. The application shows the total burned calories for that activity as soon as you finish adding the duration.
From the main screen you can tap the question mark tile and check out the total amount of time you made some sort of physical effort and the number of calories you burned while doing it. The tile sitting next to it opens the section of Calories Counter where your necessary daily calorie intake is shown.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The appearance of this application is quite basic, with a clear focus on functionality rather than good looks. |
Function7
There are plenty of entries to choose from when looking for an activity to add, but the data is not logged for several days and cannot be shared. |
Security7
Without any connection to its functionality, the app peeks inside the owner identity, phone dialer and multimedia libraries. |
Battery1
The rate at which the battery is consumed is extreme when Calories Counter is running, so the power will drain completely in a very short while. |
Price9
The app doesn't ask for any payments to allow its users to enjoy all the features, but they will have to put up with the ad banners inside. |
Compatibility10
This utility has the advantage of being suitable for a wide variety of handhelds as it runs on any system that is Windows Phone 7.5 or higher. |
